Chapter 74


    A teenage boy who was seriously wounded was tied to an iron pir in the middle of a pitch-ck room


    with a chain.


    A woman with a ferocious smile slowly took off his clothes, as if the boy was a specimen, waiting to be


    cut open on the chopping board. No one could see her face as she wore a mask.


    The boy''s eyes were filled with hatred. He knew that he must escape from this ce as soon as


    possible.


    A petite yet courageous girl came out of the darkness and pushed the masked woman away forcefully.


    The masked woman was burning with anger. She took a belt and whipped her.


    The girl''s cries echoed in the basement.


    The woman got tired and left. The girl was barely recognizable as blood covered her face.


    The boy looked at the girl anxiously, worried that she might die. She was lying lifelessly on the ground.


    All of a sudden, the girl’s finger flickered as she looked up and smiled at him.


    Her smile gave the boy strength. He felt that everything around him now was less scary.


    The girl stumbled while he walked towards him. She was worried about the boy although she too was


    injured. "Are you okay?" She tried to wipe off the blood on his face.


    The boy instead bit on her arm.


    His bite was very painful. It was as if he wanted to tear her flesh from her bones. The girl didn’t resist it


    though. She frowned and smiled at him. "It''s okay. We will definitely get out of here."


    Amos woke up from his dream. He could hear Eudora breathing soundly next to him.


    The girl''s smile somehow made his heart stir in confusion. He got up and went to the balcony for a


    smoke.


    It was already midnight but the city was still awake.


    He would never return to somewhere as dark as that room again. But, the girl, whose smile was as


    bright as the sun, was buried there forever.


    His train of thoughts were interrupted when someone held him from his back. Her touch was gentle and


    She whispered, "What''s the matter?"


    "Nothing," he answered.


    "Liar!" She touched his frown. "You haven''t been so agitated for a while now."


    Her hands were cold. Amos looked down and saw her wearing nothing on her feet. His frown


    deepened. "It''s cold. Let''s go inside."


    She put her arms around his waist. "No. I won''t go in if you are going to stay out here."


    She was unusually flirtatious tonight.


    Amos put out the cigarette and carried her in his arms. "You are the one who asked for it!"


    "Huh?" Amos locked her on the window with his arms.


    The next day was a weekend so both of them slept in.


    As soon as Eudora woke up, her eyes met his.


    "Get up. Let’s go shopping," Amos eximed.


    "Shopping?" Eudora looked at Amos unbelievably. "Did I hear it correctly? A man like you actually


    wants to go shopping?"


    "You didn''t hear it wrong. Get up now," Amos replied.


    He stood up without further ado.


    All women loved shopping, including Eudora. She quickly washed up as it had been a while since she


    The two of them went to the mall nearby.


    Amos said, "I bought all the clothes in your wardrobe at home. You can buy what you like today, in case


    they don’t suit your taste."


    "I like all of them!" Eudora eximed.


    Amos was a man of good taste. The clothes he chose were all very ssy and suited her very well.


    "Buy whatever you want to buy then!" Amos passed her a ck card. "This is my supplementary card.


    It has no limit. You can buy whatever you want."


    "Tsk, tsk." Eudora chuckled.


    "Do you know who you look like now?"


    "What?" Stunned, Amos asked. "A bossy president! Haha! When I was young, I loved reading novels


    about bossy presidents. You look and sound just like them!" Eudora exined.


    "You have my card now. Just buy whatever you want!" Amos avoided that topic.


    Amos’ lips curled into a smile while he looked at her happy, contented face.


    "I am a president!" He eximed, "But I will be your bossy president."


    Eudora beamed with joy. "Okay! This is what you promised. You can’t take back your words. If you


    do..."

    How dare she threaten him!


    "Are you going to beat me to death?"


    "Of course not. That''s against thew. Instead, I''ll leave you without hesitation."


    "Then you will not be able to escape from me for the rest of your life!" Amos put his arms around her


    waist.


    The two of them chatted in the car for a while before they entered the mall. Eudora did not buy any


    clothes, but she bought a number of items to decorate the house. She felt that the house in Clearwater


    Bay did not make her feel at home.


    The theme colors of the house were ck and grey. The house would be a lot better if she used


    warmer colors.


    Eudora believed that the atmosphere in the house would improve significantly if she changed the


    decor. Eudora''s legs were swollen after a day of shopping.


    "Should we go back home?" Amos asked.


    "Sure!" She narrowed her eyes as she yawned. She looked like she was going to fall asleep soon.


    Amos pursed his lips and eximed, "That store is having a sale."


    Her eyes widened immediately. "Which one?"


    Amos burst intoughter immediately and Eudora realized that she was tricked by him. She red at


    him and questioned, "Are youughing at me?"


    "No, I just want to make you a little more energetic because we have to buy another thing. A very


    important one," Amos answered.


    "What is it?" Eudora was puzzled.


    The man took her hand and walked towards a jewelry store.


    "What are you doing?" Eudora grabbed Amos'' hand. "Everything here is so expensive. We bought


    almost everything we need."


    "It’s not for the house!" Amosughed.


    "We don''t need anything else," she replied. Amos looked at her lovingly. She was acting like a


    housewife.


    "Yes, we do. It''s for your birthday. I haven''t gotten you anything yet," Amos exined.


    Eudora was dragged to the store. They paused at one of the disy cases. He pointed at the hugest


    diamond ring and asked, "How about this?"


    Eudora waspletely dumbfounded. "Are you going to buy me a ring?"


    "Can''t I?" Amos asked.


    "But... do you know what that means?" Eudora''s heart was beating violently inside her chest.


    Amos turned around and looked at her earnestly. "Of course I do."


    "So are you..." Eudora stuttered.


    "Eudora George, I promise you that I will love you forever. I will love you, through the difficult and the


    easy. For whatever maye, I promise that I will always be there for you. I will only love you. Do you


    believe me?" Amos vowed.


    Tears welled up in her eyes. She was supposed to be ted. It was the first time Amos said such


    romantic words.


    Amos panicked when he saw her teary eyes.


    He quickly apologized, "I''m sorry. I’m not good at talking..."


    Eudora smiled and teased, "Are you serious? You are so good!"


    "So, does that mean ‘I do’?" He asked with a smile. He knew that she was going to say yes.


    "No, I don’t!" Eudora turned around. "I can’t feel your sincerity! If you really want to marry me,e to


    my birthday and fly a kite with me!"
