Chapter 1221 You’re Going to Become a Grandmother
Although Naomi and Eddison were reluctant, they submitted under Amos’ domineering aura. The next day, they packed up their things and went back to Rosaville City.
As soon as the car was about to turn, it was stopped by Amos.
“Go straight to the Granger Mansion.”
Eddison asked curiously, “Why are we going there?”
“You’re going to take over the Granger family’s business, that’s why!” Naomi teased.
Before Naomi could finish gloating, Amos teased her, “You too.”
The two siblings’ faces instantly stiffened, as though they were forced to resign to fate.
Indeed, the first thing they did after they returned to the mansion was to ask Alfred to clean up the two master bedrooms for Naomi and Eddison.
Although the two rooms were master bedrooms, they weren’t totally identical. Alfred gave the better room to Eddison.
Before they entered the house, Alfred noticed that Naomi seemed to be rebelling.
After thinking about it, Alfred explained things to her.
“Miss Naomi, this room is indeed smaller than the other master bedroom. If you aren’t satisfied, we will prepare another one for you in the next few days! I will definitely arrange a bigger room for you!”
However, Naomi still seemed to be dissatisfied. She turned to Alfred and complained, “You’re wrong!”
Alfred felt a burst of fear. Naomi had always had a good temper and it was probably the first time she had scolded him!
“I’m sorry, Miss Naomi, it’s my fault!”
“No, it’s not that! Can’t you tell Dad that there are no more rooms here for me? Didn’t you always say that girls aren’t suited to inherit the family’s business? Why don’t you persuade him?”
Alfred was stunned upon hearing her words.
“Miss Naomi…”
“Forget it! You won’t understand! I just want to live a free life.”
Alfred was rendered speechless.
He thought to himself, “It’s my fault for not understanding the mentality of the rich.”
Even though they were unwilling, they went to the company the next day under Amos’s arrangement.
Eddison was given the position of the general manager. As for Naomi, she would become the vice president.
In that regard, Naomi felt a burst of dissatisfaction.
“Everyone is being biased. Why didn’t you give Eddison a higher position, Dad? I would rather just be an ordinary employee!”
Eddison snickered, “Stop complaining, or else Dad might make you the president!”
Naomi was dumbfounded by his words.
She immediately shut her mouth.
After that, Amos gave them intense training for a week. During that week, Eddison and Naomi were so busy that they had no extra time to rest. They would fall asleep before having dinner when they returned home.
However, every time they woke up, they found that Eudora had prepared a change of clothes for them and left some food for them.
Originally, they had thought that things had been tough on them, but they didn’t expect that things would become even harder for them after Amos completely left the company in their hands.
Since they had just taken over the company, there were many things that needed to be updated and reorganized. In the end, Naomi and Eddison made the decision to stay in the company.
Eudora looked at the empty rooms, feeling quite dissatisfied.
“They’re still young. If you let go of the company right now, they will die of exhaustion!”
“I took over the company when I was even younger. I turned out fine.”
Eudora felt exasperated.
“How can the children be compared to you?”
Hearing that, Amos was in a good mood.
“Are you praising me?”
Eudora retorted, “Me, praising you? You’re already so old, so don’t you feel ashamed upon saying such shameless words?”
Amos did not get angry. Instead, he picked up the brochure that he was reading and handed it to Eudora.
“Do you think this place looks nice?”
Eudora looked up to read the brochure, saying, “It looks a little familiar.”
Amos kept quiet as he studied her face. Eudora got up and was about to get some water. After a few steps, she suddenly came to her senses and looked at Amos in surprise.
“Isn’t that the place where I used to live abroad?”
Back then, when that great misunderstanding had occurred between her and Amos, she had fled alone with Naomi and lived overseas for several years.
It was a small but modern house. She had spent a long time in that house with Naomi, who was still a child then.
“That’s right!” Amos laughed. “I bought it!”
“Why did you buy it?” Eudora muttered.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“To stay there with you!” Amos said with a smile.
“Why do we have to go there? It’s so far away!” Eudora genuinely failed to understand why Amos would suddenly have such a thought.
Amos pursed his lips, beckoning her, “Let’s go!”
“Alright, alright!” Eudora didn’t want to argue with him. She had nothing to do anyway. Since Amos had handed the company over to Naomi and Eddison, it did not matter where they were.
“I’ll follow you!”
“Good girl,” Amos said with a smile.
As a result, they left without informing anyone.
After learning the news, Naomi and Eddison were both surprised by the fact. However, they had to accept the reality. There was no other way. Their parents were truly in love with each other, and the two of them were just extras in their relationship!
…
In a blink of an eye, two years had passed.
Naomi was already used to the company’s way of operating.
She had become the CEO! Eddison, still stuck in his position as the general manager, refused to climb up the ladder! In the morning, Naomi walked into the conference room in her heels.
She looked around and found that Eddison’s seat was empty.
She frowned, “Everyone, prepare the information for today’s meeting. The meeting will begin in five minutes.”
Then, she walked out and called Eddison.
“Don’t go too far! It’s fine that you don’t want to be promoted, but how dare you not attend meetings? Although Dad is currently abroad, I’ll expose you to him if you continue to do so!”
“Please don’t! Naomi, I didn’t mean to skip the meeting! Rachel was feeling sick in the morning, so I brought her to the hospital.”
“What? What happened to Rachel?” Naomi asked hurriedly.
The doctor’s voice came from the other end of the line, “Patient number 38, your test results are out!”
“I’m coming!” Eddison answered, and his footsteps were heard.
Then, there was a thud, and the sound of something falling to the ground startled Naomi. She asked, “What’s wrong? Is it serious?”
Eddison took a deep breath.
Then, he shouted, “Naomi, I’m going to be a father!”
“What?” Naomi was stunned for a second before she reacted. “Is Rachel pregnant?”
“Yes, I am,” Rachel’s voice echoed.
“That’s great. Then, you should rest well!”
“Okay, I will!”
Naomi hung up on the call. She could not help but feel happy and she sent a message to Eudora.
“Mom, you’re going to be a grandmother!”
She received a reply in an instant. Naomi thought that they would come back to Rosaville City, but when she opened the message, she was surprised.
“Then, why aren’t you getting married yourself?”
Naomi was struck speechless.
Naomi’s secretary came over and said, “Miss George, the meeting has begun.”
Naomi immediately threw the phone to her, “You’re in charge of replying to my mother.”
Exasperated, her secretary pleaded, “You can’t go on like this! Why don’t you consider Mrs. Granger’s suggestion?”
“Enough! If you say anymore, I might find a new secretary.”
The secretary retorted, “I’m telling the truth! Mr. Olsen of the Olsen Group had been taking good care of our company for the past few years. Everyone is saying that you and him are a perfect match!”
