Amos nodded with satisfaction before agreeing, "That's more like it! It's just that there will be a marathon being held in Rosaville City in the next few days. Take care of your own safety, and be careful not to cause chaos among the civilians."
"I'll be careful!"
After saying that, Naomi bowed to Amos.
"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry that I've let you two worry about me."
Then, she turned around and went upstairs.
After she left, Eudora asked, "Has she pulled herself together?"
Amos shook his head and said, "Judging by her distressed look and her keenness to catch him personally, it goes without saying that she's still not over him."
Eudora sighed, and then looked at Amos intently, as if she had recalled something.
"Wait, you seem to be able to read Naomi's mood quite well. From whom did you learn such a skill from?"
Staring at Eudora, who was beginning to grow jealous all of a sudden, he was dumbfounded.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Well, you've investigated everything about me clearly, but you've never told me about your past. It's said that a man's first love is unforgettable. So, who's your first love?"
"My first love?"
A clear- eyed girl instantly appeared in Amos's mind.
"Speaking of first love, I remember a girl. She was really cute."
"Cute?"
Eudora furrowed her brow slightly. It seemed to be the first time that she had heard Amos praise a girl for her cuteness.
For some reason, she felt depressed as she asked, "How cute was she?"
"She was incredibly cute. Her voice was really gentle and there was always a smile on her face. Besides, she was also very courageous, I..."
"Stop it!"
Eudora couldn't bear to listen to him anymore.
In fact, she had told herself not to be obsessed about his past since everything was already over. She had even married Felix back then! Amos having a first love was nothing compared to that. Logically, she shouldn't get angry.
However, upon hearing him sing praises about another girl, jealousy still got the better of her.
"I don't want to hear you speak anymore. I'm going upstairs!"
After that, she got up and was about to leave.
At the sight of that, Amos pulled her back.
"Come back, honey. Don't leave!"
She was somewhat disconcerted by Amos's words about his first love, and bitterness was written all over her face. She struggled to free herself from his arms, but her attempts were fruitless.
Before she could escape, he had already embraced her.
"Are you jealous of that girl?"
He seemed quite pleased.
"No, I'm not!"
Still in denial about her jealousy, she retorted, "What's there to be jealous of at our age?"
Upon hearing that, Amos grew even happier as he added, "So, you still get jealous at such an age, which means you care a lot about me."
"Quit being so smug about it!"
"But you like it, don't you?"
Amos started to become complacent.
Eudora stood her ground, "I don't like it...ah!"
Before her voice died away, he had already lowered his head to cover her lips. After an affectionate kiss, he pressed the tip of his nose against hers.
"Guess what! My first love is you!"
Mystified, Eudora asked hesitantly, "Me?"
