My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 753
When Harley heard that, he immediately gave Charlie a look to take Eudora away.
On the way, Eudora suddenly comforted herself.
"Charlie, do you think Amos has already gone back? Maybe something had happened on the way, and he went back after escaping because he knew that I would worry about him!" Charlie knew very well that those thoughts had been conjured up by Eudora's imagination.
However, in the end, he couldn't bear bursting her bubble.
He replied while nodding, "Yes!"
Hearing that, Eudora suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, drive faster. Amos must be worried while waiting for me at home!"
Charlie cast a worried glance at Eudora from the rearview mirror and then sped up.
After arriving at Clearwater Bay, Eudora quickly got out of the car and rushed into the yard as soon as the car stopped.
"Amos!" she shouted.
Eudora ran to the hall. She ran across the living room, the study upstairs, the bedroom, the children's room, and the kitchen.
After searching all over, she still could not find traces of Amos.
Charlie watched as Eudora ran up and down, feeling a little disappointed and sad.
"Madam, in fact, President Granger..."
"Right. I remember now. He's been so busy these days that he hasn't had the time to exercise. He might have gone to the garden to do some boxing. I'll go to the garden..."
It was dark outside, and Charlie hurriedly reached out to stop Eudora.
"Madam, I'm so sorry. There's indeed no news of President Granger yet. Please don't be like this..."
"Nonsense! I haven't even been to the garden to look for him yet!"
After saying that, Eudora ran to the garden again, not bothering about Charlie who was holding her back.
By the time Charlie had caught up to her, he saw Eudora standing in an empty field in the garden, with her eyes brimming with tears.
In fact, she knew better than anyone that she was just fantasizing.
She just did not want to wake herself up from the fantasy.
Charlie wrinkled his eyebrows. At that moment, a figure outside suddenly walked over. Eudora's heart, which had just sunk, was instantly lifted again. She hurried to catch up with him, "Amos! Is that you? Are you back?"
Charlie was worried. He recalled Amos' order that he had given before he had left and hurriedly signaled to the bodyguards, who were hiding in the dark.
"Be careful. Protect Madam and the children."
The guards immediately came forward and surrounded the front.
Eudora had already grabbed the man's arm. The man turned around and looked at Eudora in horror.
"What are you doing? Have you gotten the wrong person?"
Particularly faced with a group of fierce-looking men following behind Eudora, the man was scared out of his wits!
Eudora's fingers paused, and the man broke free and quickly ran away.
After the man left, Eudora turned to look at the bodyguards behind her, who had formed a tight circle around her.
"You guys..."
She remembered a few of them clearly. They were all Amos' bodyguards.
When Charlie saw that Eudora's face was not quite right, he felt a jolt in his heart and hurriedly waved his hand at the bodyguards.
They turned around and wanted to hide in the dark again, but were held back by Eudora.
"You all are Amos' bodyguards. Why are you here? Why?"
"We..." One of them said.
The bodyguard was shocked and said, "Madam, we don't know what you're talking about!"
"Don't lie to me. Tell me clearly. Why are you at my house? Why aren't you protecting Amos?" Charlie hurriedly said, "Madam..."
"Shut up!" Eudora stopped Charlie in that instant, "You all can speak for yourselves!"
The bodyguards were trained to not lie. Therefore, after some struggling, they still told Eudora the truth.
"We arrived at Clearwater Bay in the afternoon. President Granger had noticed that it wasn't safe, so he asked us to protect you and the children!"
"So, you mean that there's no one with him?" Eudora's footsteps seemed weak.
"President Granger said that he could deal with the situation himself..."
Charlie immediately noticed that something was amiss, and he instantly stopped the bodyguard from speaking.
"All of you may take your leave!"
After they left, Charlie consoled her, "Madam, President Granger is really good at defending himself! What's more, he has just gone missing. We'll find him eventually." Eudora's eyes were already moist.
She screamed, "Why didn't Amos tell me in advance? We're husband and wife, and we have to face all obstacles together. Why didn't he tell me when he knew it was dangerous? Why did he put yourself in danger all alone? It's all my fault. I've caused Amos to be in so much trouble..."
"Madam, it's really not your fault, you..."
Eudora no longer paid any attention to Charlie and staggered back into the house.
Charlie followed behind Eudora. Seeing that she had entered the room and closed the door, he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, he did not dare to sleep. He could only stay upstairs and call the remaining bodyguards to patrol round the clock. That was the only way he could feel more secure, even just a little.
There was no other way. President Granger was currently in trouble. The only thing he could do now was to complete the tasks that Amos had given him.
In the room, after Eudora had closed the door, she fell to the ground, her mind completely blank.
"What should I do?" Eudora asked herself repeatedly.
In front of Amos, she had always tried to be very strong and capable. She always said that she wanted to support Amos and the children.
In reality, both she and Amos knew that she was merely relying on Amos' tolerance towards her. She had been lying to herself the entire time. Even if she really wanted to do so, judging from her power and Amos', she definitely would not be the one in charge of supporting the family. Just like right now, even under such circumstances, he still had gotten someone to protect her.
On the contrary, she was unable to do anything in solving his disappearance.
No, she couldn't do that!
Eudora took a deep breath and desperately told herself that she had to cheer up.
Now that Amos was missing, the children in her family, Valiant East Group, and Amos all needed to be protected by her.
However, after a moment, Eudora still could not help but wipe away the tears that trickled from her eyes.
"Amos, where on earth are you?"
Charlie stayed awake for the whole night, guarding outside. Only after some time did he close his eyes in a daze.
Soon, he was awakened again by the ringing phone in the living room.
After the call was connected, Clint's anxious voice came through.
"Charlie, where is Madam?"
Charlie was stunned, "What's the matter? Has there been any news about President Granger?"
"It's not that!" Clint gritted his teeth, "Something has happened to Valiant East! Now that President Granger is not here, I can only look for Madam!"
Charlie frowned, "Aren't you his assistant? You can just privately take care of his matters!"
Clint shook his head and said, "No, I can't handle this! The stocks of Valiant East have fallen this morning right after the stock market opened and then came to a halt! Many of the shareholders have come to complain like crazy..."
Charlie's hand trembled. Was it really that serious?
At that moment, Eudora's voice rang out from behind him.
"Give me the phone."
Charlie came to his senses and said, "Madam, why did you come down? Don't worry. Things are not as serious as you think..."
"Don't lie to me!" Eudora took a deep breath, "Since Amos isn't around, I have to protect the Granger family even more now. Give the phone to me!"
