Chapter 898
Mr. Chilton flew into a rage and it just so happened that his wife interceded with the crowd for him.
"That''s not what you guys said just now..."
He immediately vented all his anger on her by giving her a p before sitting down angrily.
She was pped in public and all the vigor she disyed a moment ago was all gone! She couldn''t
remain collected any longer and hid her face in shame without saying a word.
As for Amos, he had already stood up and walked towards the stage.
For the previous winners of the awards, the presenters had not been so respectful.
However, all the presenters on the scene gathered around him after he went up. They seemed to be
obsequious to him.
"Mr. Granger, please give an eptance speech!"
They were afraid that Amos didn''t want to say anything, therefore the other people also badgered him
into giving an eptance speech.
"Yes, Mr. Granger! I know you don''t like to talk, but today we really need you to say something..."
Before their voices died away, Amos had already turned around.
"Fine."
Everyone was bewildered.
They thought it would take them a long time to persuade him. They didn''t expect him to be so
straightforward.
With gratitude, they handed the microphone to him. Amos looked at Eudora, who was sitting in a daze
below the stage.
"Honey, I love you!"
The whole hall was in uproar and everybody looked in Eudora''s direction.
"Oh my god, he said those three little words in front of everyone!"
They wondered, "Didn''t people say that Amos is a reserved man? When his father passed away, he
only took three days off before he went out to continue his work."
They didn''t expect that he would publicly disy his affection.
"And he''s so candid!"
As they were thinking, Amos spoke again.
"It''s rumored that I''m a kept-man. I''m telling you, so what if I''m a kept man. My wife does not have an
objection to it, and that''s none of your
business."
Everyone was speechless.
He was so lovey- dovey with Eudora, they just couldn''t stand it.
After that, he returned the microphone to the person in charge and turned to descend from the stage.
He handed the trophy directly to Eudora. "What’s mine is yours! What’s yours is still yours!"
The couples, who disparaged Amos earlier, were so embarrassed that they wished they could flee from
there.
The people pondered, "Well, that’s Amos."
"Being so capable, how could he end up taking care of his children at home? Sure enough, he had a
trump card in his hand!"
Being pped by her husband, the woman was a little unhappy and she couldn''t help muttering.
"Hmph! Be careful, your marriage will be on the rocks one day!"
This time, Eudora looked straight at the woman with great confidence.
"Madam, you must be very insecure that you have such a cynical view of marriage! Instead of worrying
about my marriage, you''d better mind your own business. Is your face okay? Do I need to find some
ointment for you?"
Earlier, it was because of Amos that she couldn''t let herself go at the ceremony.
It was different now. She didn''t have to restrain her fury anymore. She could feel smug in front of the
people who had disdained her and Amos before.
The woman gritted her teeth. "Don''t... Don''t be proud. You will grow old eventually!"
Eudora replied, "I am 30 years old, I''m already old, but my husband still loves me! In fact, I think it

doesn''t depend on the appearance or the capability to determine whether a woman would be loved or
not. When I first met my husband, I had nothing!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and exchanged a look with Amos. Then, both of them
smiled at the same time.
On the way back, Eudora couldn''t stopughing.
"Did you see that? That woman has been pulling a long face. It serves her right!"
Looking at her, who was so proud of the oue, Amos reached out his hand and caressed her
cheek.
"Are you happy? If you''re not, let''s go back and continue!"
"There''s no need for that! She''s also pitiful. She thought that she would be liked if she was to be a
to her husband after all."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "But I just remembered that you said that a woman''s capability does
not determine whether she would be loved or not."
"Yes, I''ve said that. However, you are different from others! You are a silly man; that''s why you like me.
Most men still prefer women who are independent. Even if being independent doesn''t guarantee them
to be loved, they are still better than thoseyabouts!"
"That''s wrong!" He frowned and said.
She was dumbstruck for a moment. "What''s wrong? Don''t tell me you likeyabouts?"
He flicked her forehead. "I mean that I''m not silly! I''m just attracted by your tremendous charisma!"
She was nonplussed.
It was the first time she heard Amos saying that. She was quite curious and could not help being a little
expectant.
"My charisma? What is it? Is it a strong and independent personality?"
Amos shook his head and said, "No, it''s..." He leaned close to her ear and said, "I just like you!"
The warm breath lingered on her ear, and her heart was palpitating, which made her tremble.
Eudora suddenly came to her senses and realized that he had just flirted with her.
"What? You''re lying to me!"
"I''m not lying to you. It''s just like you said; love is hard to be exined! I can''t tell clearly which part of
you has attracted me. I just like you and there''s no reason forthat!"
Her lips curved into a smile and she said, "At least you''re good at talking."
He asked back, "What about you? When did you start to like me?"
She thought about the answer.
She blinked her eyes. Somehow, she felt that Amos was looking forward to something. Thinking of this,
she couldn''t help but to tease him.
"You want to know? Then, you have to listen carefully! In fact, I didn''t like you at first!"
He pursed his lips. "You didn''t like me, yet you still yed hide-the-sausage with me..."
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered by Eudora''s hand!
"Stop it!"
He replied, "Okay, then say it."
Seeing himugh so merrily, she realized that she was teased by him again!
She got angry and said, "I don''t want to talk to you!"
"Alright, I won''t flirt with you this time. Now, tell me!"
Only then did she start to recall it.
"Actually, thinking about it now, I had been so absurd at that time. I had not done anything so ridiculous
since I was a child. Maybe I was being so foolish out of anger."
He shook his head. "You''re not foolish! You had made a right decision back then. I feel like that was the
most important decision in your entire life!"
She was annoyed. "You''re teasing me again?"
Amos said soberly, "No! What I said is true. I''ve been very grateful that you were sent to me by fate. If it
wasn''t in that way, our lives wouldn''t have intersected at all! It''s destined! That''s why you came to my
side!"
The two looked into each other''s eyes, and Eudora couldn''t help but tough all of a sudden.
"Did you eat honey tonight? Where are all the
sweet wordsing from?"
Hearing that, he beamed at her.
"You''ll know it after you have a taste of it."
Before his voice died away, he had already kissed her on the lips.
