My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 272

At the same time, Christopher Gellert had just walked out of the men's hot spring.

As soon as he walked by the women's hot spring, he heard Tina's familiar voice shouting in alarm. Taking a look around, he saw that all the other girls were outside. Tina Holt was alone in there. His heart chilled.

Without a second thought, Christopher barged straight into the room to look for Tina.

Right as Eudora George and the others came over, they saw that Christopher had already carried Tina out.

Tina's cheeks were tinted bright red as she lay on Christopher's chest. He had wrapped her up in a towel.

"Is everything okay?" Eudora asked worriedly.

"It's nothing. It was just a cramp," Tina explained hurriedly.

Eudora breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness. She had technically played a hand in this. If anything bad had actually happened, Eudora wouldn't have been able to live with herself.

Having noticed that she was being surrounded by a crowd, Tina hurriedly demanded, "Put me down!"

Christopher frowned, a little unhappy with her, "Why are you still being stubborn at this time? I'll bring you back to your room." He strode away with Tina in his arms straight after.

Harley Louis and Thea Stewart, who were still fighting over the barbecue stall, immediately rushed over when they heard them. They watched their retreating backs curiously, anticipating gossip. "Something is going on between those two!"

"Yes, yes, I think so too! According to my years of experience in mistress dispelling, something is definitely going on!"

"Your experience must be worth something. I have some experience in these matters myself. I agree!"

The pair nodded their heads in agreement. At this point, Eudora was truly at a loss for words.

"You two..."

Having broken out of their reverie, Harley and Thea realized that they were holding each other's hands in their excitement. They jumped away from each other instantly.

"Great! Now I'll be cursed with bad luck for all of eternity!"

"You hooligan! You're the one who grabbed my hand. How dare you accuse me?"

The two started quarreling once again as Eudora watched in disbelief.

Back at the room, Christopher had carried Tina back safely. He laid her down on the bed gently.

He then grabbed her ankle, "Where does it hurt?"

Tina shook her head, "No, it's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore.1

"Tina!" Christopher pursed his lips, "I know that I was wrong to hurt you. I've already apologized to you for that, haven't I? I've never refused whatever compensation you demanded, haven't I? So, could you please do me a favor and not hurt yourself like this?"

Tina was startled.

"I'm not..."

"Alright! Fine! Let's not talk about it anymore. So, where exactly does it hurt?"

Tina looked at Christopher, still rendered silent. She really could not be bothered to contradict him anymore, so she decided to just play along.

"Here..."

Christopher immediately reached out and pressed on it, "Here?"

"Yeah..."

After Christopher found the right spot, he carefully massaged it for her. Tina couldn't take her eyes off. It reminded her of that time at the banquet the other day...

Her brain buzzed a bit at the memory, her face blushing red.

Christopher seemed to have noticed a change in her demeanor. He raised his head hurriedly and looked up at her, "Does it hurt a lot?"

As he lifted his head to look at Tina, he was greeted by her blushing red cheeks, He instantly understood why there seemed to be a shift in the atmosphere. He started to zone out as well, momentarily forgetting to rein in his strength when he went back to massaging Tina's foot.

At this moment, he had used too much force, causing Tina to let out a cry of pain when she felt a particularly painful knead, "Ow, that hurts!"

Christopher let go of her foot hurriedly. He got back up and took a seat opposite Tina. Not a moment later, both of them had matching blushes painting their cheeks.

Right at this time, Harley came by and knocked on the door, "Are you two alright?"

Christopher finally came back to his senses. "Yeah, we're doing fine," he answered after clearing his throat.

However, the curious Harley would not just let it just slide. Even Christopher's tone had changed. Something was definitely going on in there.

Thea, who was standing next to him, had squeezed in close, "Just let me..."

"Haven't your parents taught you any manners? Why do you keep butting into other people's business?!"

Upon hearing this, Thea froze. In an instant, he could see that her eyes were rimmed red.

This was a major shock to Harley. What was going on? This woman bickered with him all the time. She would sometimes be even more spiteful than he was! Why was she suddenly crying like that? Moreover, her crying was so different from all the women he'd met before. Most of the women he'd met had cried because they wanted to gain something from sympathy, but she was the stark opposite. Thea was trying to hide her tears. As she was aware of Harley's gaze, she clenched her teeth and sent Harley a kick.

Harley instinctively covered them with his hands and howled in pain. Clenching his teeth, he looked up to see Thea taking large strides away from him.

"Thea, you devil!"

Meanwhile, in Eudora's room.

Amos Granger and Juju were both reading a book and a picture book respectively. They ignored everything that was going on outside. Eudora will never be able to work out how they could concentrate regardless of the noises outside.

Eudora was the only one who was invested in what was going on outside. She was leaning against the door closely, listening in on the conversation.

After hearing Harley's debacle, she proceeded to run towards the balcony. There, she could catch parts of the conversation which Christopher and Tina were having in their room.

Amos looked up inadvertently, watching Eudora bumbling around like an overjoyed bunny.

Ever since their relationship settled, Eudora had become much happier than before. Her personality had changed somewhat. She was more playful now, and more joyous. He sometimes felt like Eudora was another daughter of him.

Two daughters. The idea warmed Amos' heart. He wanted to give them everything they wanted in the world. They both deserved the best.

At that instant, the clock let out a short beep. Glancing at it, Amos realized that it was already nine o'clock.

He took the picture book from Juju, "It's time for you to rest."

Amos thought that his daughter had to pick up good habits as such starting from her youth. So, he was very strict with her curfew. Juju, who was used to this, obeyed her father without causing any trouble. "Okay. Goodnight, Daddy. Goodnight, Mommy."

After that, she went straight into her room and went to sleep.

After having dealt with one of his girls, Amos went over to settle down the other. Eudora started to gossip about Christopher with him and eventually, she was about to move towards the door again to gather more intel. This time though, Amos pinned her to him, stopping her.

"You've been listening the entire night already."

Eudora's eyes were still brimming with curiosity, "I barely heard anything!"

Amos frowned, "You even didn't look at me all night."

Eudora spared him a quick glance. When she felt Amos' grip loosen, she made to move towards the door hurriedly, but she was once again pinned down by Amos against the door. "Are you ignoring me?" Eudora felt a chill run up her spine, "No, of course not! You're the world's most handsome man, and how could I ever ignore you?" She said, as she involuntarily turned her ear towards the door. In an instant, Amos pinned both her hands above her head against the door.

"Well, since you're still brimming with curiosity about how the others are faring, why don't we redirect that focus and curiosity back to ourselves, hm?" Amos suggested, smiling wickedly. Eudora was rendered speechless at that point.

Afterward, Eudora spent a pretty long while pinned against the door. Her focus was no longer on the others outside the room, but on Amos instead.
