When Eudora heard that, she reached out and wanted to hug Amos out of sheer joy and excitement, but she found that she had no strength left in her arms at all.
The alcohol was finally kicking in, and she almost slipped and fell.
Eventually, Amos had to help her up. He chuckled, "Just look at you, and you were thinking of getting me drunk?"
The next day when Eudora woke up, Amos was not at home.
Her phone rang, and it was Clint. He reminded Eudora, "Mrs. Granger, the car has arrived. It's waiting for you downstairs!"
"I'll be right there," Eudora said.
As soon as she got up, she felt a splitting headache. The events from the night before were hazy.
"You liar!"
The sudden thought of the voice made Eudora recall that Amos seemed to be angry the night before.
Maybe that was why he wasn't in the room. Maybe he was still angry?
After much difficulty, she managed to get up and change into some fresh clothes. Then, she headed downstairs, only to find no one in the living room. However, her luggage was already prepared on the sofa.
Cindy informed her after seeing that Eudora had come down.
"Good morning Mrs. Granger. President Granger told me to pack your luggage for you! He took Sugar Bun off for a swim in the morning and they will not be back until later. I'll send you."
Eudora pursed her lips and asked carefully, "Is Amos angry?"
Cindy was stunned and replied, "Angry? Well, I think he didn't look well when he left this morning, but I'm not sure if he's angry or not..."
This time, Eudora was almost certain he was mad.
However, she had to go to work. After she gave it some thought, she left a note for him on the table.
"I'll try to come back earlier, love you!"
Cindy cringed as she saw the sickly sweet note Eudora left for Amos.
After Eudora got into the car, she looked around, hoping to see Amos. However, he did not appear!
At that moment, Amos was sitting outside the house with Sugar Bun. When he saw the car leaving, he reached out and held Sugar Bun's hand.
"Come on, let's go home!"
Sugar Bun looked at Amos and pouted, "Daddy, mommy is leaving..."
Amos nodded, "Yes, your mommy is going to work."
"Why... didn't daddy see mommy off?"
Amos frowned and explained, "Because daddy wanted to take you out for a walk! So daddy couldn't see mommy off!"
However, Sugar Bun saw through everything and immediately said, "Daddy... you're sad that mommy is leaving, aren't you!"
Amos was speechless.
"Nonsense!"
"It's true, it's true!" Sugar Bun was full of smiles as he insisted, "You're sad that mommy is leaving!"
Amos did not know what to say.
"You brat, how dare you tease me!"
Sugar Bun immediately ran away upon hearing those words. Amos looked at his back and secretly sighed.
Truth be told, he was indeed a little reluctant to part with her!
He was worried that if he saw her off, he would be even more reluctant to let her leave. He had tried to clear his thoughts the whole night, but it was to no avail. Amos was aware that he shouldn't try to imprison Eudora beside him. Instead, he should let her spread her wings and fly!
Therefore, he was determined to start getting used to not having her beside him.
The hotel Eudora stayed in was the same as when she previously came. As though guided by fate, the room she stayed in was the room that she had stayed with Amos in last time.
Once she put her things down, she washed up. When she came out of the bathroom, she looked at her phone out of habit.
Originally, she thought that there would be a lot of messages or missed calls, but she did not see any!
