My Second Husband novel 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.
