My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 22

Eudora George looked at the man coldly. Franco Horace was kneeling desperately below her, asking for her forgiveness. When she recalled the events yesterday, Eudora shivered in fear.

Amos Granger pulled Eudora into his arms to assure her that it was alright. He whispered to her ear, "Do you want to forgive him?"

Eudora shook her head. "I won't forgive him!"

In the past, Eudora had always believed that one shouldn't be act harshly to another person. In fact, most of the time, she would rather be a good person than to inflict hurt on someone else.

But in the end, what did she get?

There was never a moment where Eudora wished ill on others.

"Mr. Granger..." Eudora clenched her teeth. "If I don't forgive him, what will happen to him?"

Amos smiled and pointed at the man standing behind Franco. He looked like he was enjoying this whole scene too. "Officer Louis is here. The law will not spare him! Imprisonment is probably too small a punishment for him. If they knew what kind of dirty, under-handed transactions had gone through his company, his punishment would be way more severe!"

"Mr. Granger, please don't." Franco pleaded. He trembled in fear and turned to Eudora. "Miss George, please have mercy on me..."

He asked her to have mercy on him now. Did he even think of sparing her during the incident yesterday?

Eudora didn't even bother to look at Franco and said coldly, "Then I'm afraid I have to trouble Officer Louis. Please handle this matter according to the law!"

"Miss George!" Franco cried out in desperation. "It's not my fault alone. If Felix Meyer hadn't tied you up and send you to me, I wouldn't even have the chance."

Eudora clenched her teeth. "Felix Meyer. Of course, I'm not going to let him off that easily too."

Amos noticed that Eudora's mood was turning sour and waved at Harley Louis, "Bring him out!"

Harley glanced at Eudora with great interest. "Say, are you the woman who dishonored Amos on that night he was injured?"

Dishonor?

The night she first met Amos, he was indeed injured.

Eudora's cheeks suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and didn't know what to say. Amos frowned. "Harley Louis!"

"I'm just leaving!" Harley waved at Eudora cheekily. "See you later."

After the two men left, Eudora realised that Amos had been holding on to her this whole time. She moved away subconsciously, but Amos' arms tightened around her shoulders. "What's wrong? Are you regretting your decision now?"

"No," Eudora whispered, "You hugged me a little too tightly and I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to change positions."

She hadn't even finished talking, the man suddenly flipped her and pressed her down on the bed. "This position?"

There was a glint of a happiness in the man's dark eyes. Eudora couldn't help but stare at his features. The man's face was really God-given.

Eudora's mind went blank. She knew that she couldn't take back her words anymore now that she agreed to his deal. She obediently closed her eyes and waited for the man's next move.

After what felt like an eternity, Eudora felt warm lips pressing softly against her forehead.

Eudora shivered at the kiss, but the next second, the man had already flipped to the other side of the bed and pulled her in for a hug.

Eudora stunned. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing!" Amos replied.

Eudora frowned. "Are you... not feeling well? Do you want me to massage your head?"

"Why did you ask that?" Amos turned around and pressed his head against her forehead.

"Um..." Eudora paused. "I thought I needed to prove that I'm worthy to be your woman."
