Chapter 177
After Wendy left Clearwater Bay, she made a phone call to Caleb.
Sure enough, Caleb stayed true to his words and injured Cola.
Wendy was fuming mad, "It's just a dog. Why did you hurt it? The d*mn dog now barks crazily at me
whenever it sees me."
However, Caleb responded with a laugh. Wendy frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"What do you think I am laughing at?" Caleb cackled even more hysterically.
"I was the one who injured the dog yet it keeps barking at you. Don't you realize that it could smell my
scent on you?"
Wendy's heart skipped a beat. She sniffed her body subconsciously and could really smell Caleb's
scent on her.
That night, she didn't sleep a single wink. When she woke up in the morning, she went straight for an
aromatherapy massage.
After she was done, she came out of the massage parlor and was in a better mood.
However, as soon as she came out, she saw a familiar figure standing by the side of the road. Wendy
rubbed her eyes, squinted closer, and soon felt as if her whole being had been struck by lightning.
"Eudora George? What is she doing here?"
She couldn't care about anything else. Even the massage that she had just done was thrown to the
back of her head. Wendy quickly dialed Caleb's number.
However, Caleb refused to answer the phone. Wendy was both afraid and angry, so she took a cab to
Caleb's place.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Caleb leaning against the couch. A half- naked woman
was straddling on top of him with her hands roaming all over his chest.
The two of them saw Wendy enter, but they did not respond at all. They merely continued with their
activity.
Wendy frowned and glared at the woman. "Get out!"
The woman pouted and threw herself into Caleb's arms. "She's asking me to leave. Who does she
think she is?"
Caleb stretched his hand out and caressed the woman's bare back. "You should go. I will look for you
tonight."
"Alright!" The woman perked up and went out with her hips swaying.
After the woman left, Caleb stood up and put his arms around Wendy's shoulder. "What's wrong?
You've driven my woman out the first thing you arrive. Do you miss me?"
As he spoke, his lips were pressed on Wendy's earlobe, and he started kissing it.
Wendy pushed him away in haste. "I'm here to ask you something. What's up with Eudora George?
Didn't you tell me that she would never come back? Why did I bump into her today?"
In contrast with Wendy's anxiety, Caleb was as calm as the sea. He was unaffected by Eudora's
sudden appearance.
His hands were still busy wandering along Wendy's back. Absentmindedly, Caleb said, "Really? So
what? You are Amos' fiancee now. What are you afraid of?"
"What fiancee? It's been five years. I cannot even get past his dog. How could we get married?"
Caleb snorted and slowly curled his fingers on Wendy's back. "Do you still intend to marry him?"
Wendy felt bothered, annoyed, and inexplicably angry. "What does it have to do with you?"
Caleb's eyes darkened. "B*tch, who gave you the right to talk to me like this?"
Wendy was stunned and clenched her teeth.
"Am I wrong?"
Caleb was stunned. He grabbed Wendy's hand and pressed her down on the couch roughly. "It seems
that I have not taught you a lesson for too long."
After that, he began to take her clothes off.
No one knew where Wendy's strength came from, but she suddenly raised her hand.
With a loud smack, she planted a slap right across his cheeks.
Caleb stopped and glared at Wendy with his dark, humorless eyes. "Argh... How dare you hit me?"
Wendy gritted her teeth. "Why can't I hit you? It's clear that you had messed up, and Eudora is back.
She is back, do you hear me?"
However, before Wendy could finish her words, she felt her scalp go numb. Caleb had grabbed her hair
and threw her off the couch, bellowing at her.
"Get out! Since you care so much about Amos, I will kill you if you ever look for me again!"
Wendy was stunned. After a while, she hurriedly got up, gathered her things and left.
After coming out of Caleb's place, Wendy suddenly realized that she had lost her one and only support.
After tidying herself up, she went to Clearwater Bay again. But just like the day before, she was still
chased by Cola although she had gone for an aromatherapy massage. Auntie Valerie finally couldn't
help but said, "Miss Liam, you'd better not come anymore! Cola does not welcome you."
Wendy snorted. After leaving Amos' place, her mind was filled with Eudora's face.
She was unsure if Amos knew that Eudora was back. If he knew, he would fall for her again, wouldn't
he?
Wendy immediately called Amos Granger. "Amos, let's have lunch together!" Wendy said.
Amos was silent for a moment. "No, thank you!"
Wendy added, "Amos, I know a restaurant near Valiant East. Let's just have a meal. I have something
very important to tell you." Amos had no choice but to agree.
They arrived at the restaurant and ordered their food. Wendy said, "Amos, we haven't had a meal
together for so long. I'm very happy."
Amos did not respond but merely asked, "Didn't you say you have something important to tell me?"
Wendy clenched her fists. It was not an illusion. Even though Amos had agreed for her to be his
fiancee, he had never changed. He had always been so cold to her.
While the waiter was busy laying down the cutlery on the table, she replied carelessly,
"Oh, it's not a big deal. But today I happened to see a person who looks exactly like Eudora."
Amos' fingers paused for a moment, but they soon returned to normal. "Is that so? But she's dead, isn't
she?"
Amos asked in return.
Wendy stared at Amos for a long time, but she didn't sense anything unusual. She breathed a sigh of
relief in her heart. "Yes, but I always think of her. She's still so young, and yet she's gone. What a pity."
Speaking of this, Wendy pretended to be guilty. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so insecure and made
such a condition with you at that time, Miss George wouldn't have left, and she wouldn't have died."
Amos looked calm and kept eating as if he didn't hear her at all.
As for Wendy, she stopped pretending when she found that Amos paid her no attention. "Amos, have a
taste of this."
But Amos had already put down his cutlery, "I'm full. I'll be going now. Did you drive here? Otherwise,
I'll call someone to pick you up."
Wendy hurriedly spoke, "But there's still food left. Why don't you keep me company for a little longer?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"I don't have time. There's a meeting to attend."
After providing a curt explanation, Amos left.
Looking at the food on the table, Wendy suddenly lost her appetite.
No, she had to think of a way. Five years had passed, and she had been telling herself that she still had
plenty of time. But now that Eudora was back, she realized that time was running out for her.
Now even Caleb was done with her. If she lost Amos as well, she would have nothing left.
However, there was a big catch. How was she going to get started?
It was obvious that Amos didn't trust her as much as before. Whenever he looked at her, Wendy always
felt that he seemed to be able to see right through everything.
Therefore, Wendy dared not put on her antics as often in front of Amos now.
