My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 144

Thanks to Harley Louis, the originally quiet environment between the two had become much livelier.

For dinner, Eudora George made some mashed potato, steak and mushroom soup. She also made buffalo wings and fajitas. They were all Harley's favorite. Harley was as happy as a lark, and he started to gobble hungrily the moment he came out from the pool.

"Eudora, I really admire you. Your cooking skills are really excellent. Not only that, but you are also the first person who could deal with Amos..."

Before he finished speaking, Amos Granger had stuffed a piece of buffalo wing into Harley's mouth. "You still can't shut up even when you're eating, can you?" Harley didn't know what to say.

Looking at them bickering, Eudora felt very amused. She had not had many friends since she was a child, so she envied the brotherhood between them very much.

Eudora sliced a piece of the steak for herself. Just as she was about to chew, she felt a churn in her stomach.

She frowned. She hurriedly put down her knife and drank a mouthful of water to swallow the uncomfortable taste.

Seeing this, Amos quickly ignored Harley and turned to look at her. "What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Eudora shook her head. "Maybe I'm having a bad stomach. It's nothing."

Harley immediately became serious, "Eudora, would you like me to call a doctor?"

"I'm really fine. You guys take your time. I'll just rest for a moment."

After that, she returned to the room alone.

Lying on the bed, she looked at the ceiling in a daze, and she was actually a little sleepy.

When Amos returned, he saw that Eudora had fallen asleep on the bed. He reached out his palm and felt her forehead. He was finally at ease when he was sure that she did not have a fever.

He took a blanket and tucked her in, then he took off his coat and lay down beside her.

It had been a long time. The only time he would feel that he had her wholeheartedly was when she was sound asleep.

She would distance herself from him from the moment she was awake. Amos sighed and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

Eudora was awakened by the hunger in her stomach. When she woke up, the room was already dark, and she found herself sleeping soundly in Amos' arms. She moved a little and heard Amos' sleepy voice next to her ears. "Are you awake?"

The next second, he reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.

Eudora sat up from his arms, and the next second, her stomach growled.

Both of them paused for a moment, and Eudora broke the silence awkwardly, "I'm hungry."

She looked very cute when she was embarrassed, like a newly awakened kitten who looked a little confused. Amos pursed his lips and said, "Then let's eat!"

Amos had ordered for the leftovers from the afternoon to be cleaned up. The room was now clean and refreshing.

"What do you want to eat?" Amos asked.

Eudora thought of those greasy things and wanted to vomit. After thinking for a while, she finally said, "Let's have some oatmeal!"

Amos knew that she didn't have a strong stomach, so he nodded and signaled her to stay seated on the sofa. "Wait here."

Eudora was stunned. "Let me do it!"

"No! I can cook oatmeal." Amos had already walked into the kitchen.

Amos didn't lie. He knew how to cook oatmeal. After a while, the aroma came from the kitchen. Eudora couldn't help but walk over. She saw that Amos had his sleeves rolled up, and he was focused on stirring the oatmeal in the pot under the light. The yellow light shone on his body, adding a trace of warmth to it.

At that moment, a thought flashed through her mind. Perhaps, she should not make things awkward between them anymore.

While she was still deep in her thoughts, Amos had already turned around. "It's time to eat!"

The two of them sat across each other, and they each had a bowl of oatmeal. Eudora couldn't help but ask, "What about the toppings?" Amos was taken aback. Obviously, he had not thought about it. He paused for a moment, and said, "I don't know how to make them."

His expression was very cute. He always looked like an elite, but here he was, admitting to something that he didn't know how to do. Eudora couldn't help but laugh. "I thought you knew everything. So there were things that you didn't know after all."

Seeing her smile, a grin crept across Amos' face, "Wrong. I still have something else that I can't do."

"And what is that?"

"I can't stop loving you!"

Eudora was speechless.

Who did he learn it from? Did he just flirt with her?

She hurriedly got up and coughed, "I'm going to make some toppings,". She then ran away quickly.

After dinner, the two of them sat there and stared at each other.

After sleeping for the whole evening, they were not exactly sleepy anymore. While they were in a daze, Harley came back.

"Amos, Eudora. There's a fireworks party outside. Let's go and have a look!"

Eudora didn't want to go. She was not the kind of person who liked to join the fun. Harley suddenly became helpless. "You two have been sleeping together at home the whole day. Can't we go out and have a little fun?"

Although they knew that Harley did not mean it that way, his words did sound a little awkward.

Eudora had no choice but to nod in agreement, hoping that Harley would not say anything else that would make the atmosphere even more awkward.

The fireworks party was not held in the resort but on empty land south of the resort. It would be safer to release those fireworks there.

The fireworks were just about to start when they arrived. In order to maximize its effects, the staff had turned off all the lights in the area.

Suddenly, everything was dark in front of her. Eudora's whole body stiffened. Her senses seemed to have heightened. She heard the howls of the wind blowing against the branches in the air. Her heart suddenly started to race.

In a dark room, there were children crying.

She frowned and found that she was beginning to float. A man passed by. Maybe he didn't see her, but the thing in his hand hit Eudora on the head. With a bang, a scene flashed in her mind like a movie. She was running. In front of her was a little girl pulling her to run faster, and there was a man with a mask chasing after them desperately.

They turned a corner, and the girl quickly ushered her to hide in a ruin next to her.

"Shh..." She placed a finger solemnly on her lips.

Eudora covered her mouth and did not dare to speak.

Then came the sound of footsteps, accompanied by a ferocious voice. "Where are you two little things running to? Was I too kind to you? How could you run away? I will count to three. If you come out, I will spare you. If I catch you, I will kill you."

Both of them were shivering, but they knew that the man was lying to them. It was not easy for them to run away, how could they go back?

The man stood there for a long time. When he found that there was no movement, he cursed, "D*mn it." Then he continued to move forward.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and were about to come out when they saw a girl walking over and looking at them with keen eyes.

The two of them shook their heads at her, signaling her not to make a sound. The girl nodded, but the next second, she suddenly shouted, "They are here!"

The masked man heard the sound and ran back again. The two of them wanted to flee, but it was too late. When she got caught, she saw the masked give the girl who snitched on them a lollipop.
