My Second Husband novel Chapter 155

Amos Granger had already opened a bottle of red wine when the steaks were served.

Eudora George hurriedly covered her glass, I'm not drinking."

Amos was stunned. "Are you afraid that I'll take advantage of you?"

Eudora blushed and remembered how things had turned out the last time she was drunk. She hurriedly lowered her head and said, "No, I'm going to get the juice."

The juice was in the cabinet in the living room. When she came back with it, she heard her cell phone buzz.

She picked it up and looked at the screen. The smile on her face froze.

The text was sent by a strange number. It was short with only a few words.

—I'm getting married to Amos Granger.

Eudora clenched her fists. For a moment, she thought that this was a prank. But... who would do this?

She called the number immediately.

The call was answered in an instant. It was Wendy Liam. She seemed to be expecting Eudora's call. Wendy chuckled as soon as she answered the phone. "You don't believe it, do you?"

Eudora frowned. "What tricks are you playing again?"

"I'm not playing any tricks. You could ask Amos about it. It's up to you if you'd like to believe it or not. I was just pre-empting you. Don't be too sad!"

After that, she hung up the phone.

Amos came over and wrapped his arms around her waist. "What's wrong? Why did you take such a long time to get the juice?"

Eudora's ears were buzzing, and her mind was in a mess. She took a deep breath and stepped to the side, removing herself from Amos' embrace. "Nothing."

When the two returned to the table, Eudora poured herself a glass of juice. The words that she had wanted to say earlier were all stuck in her throat. She did not know what to say.

After a long while, she opened her mouth.

"Are you busy with the company recently?"

Amos shook his head and said, "Not really. It's the same old thing. What's wrong? Are you worried about me?"

Eudora lowered her head slightly. "Who's worried about you!"

Under the light, half of her fair neckline was exposed in front of him. Just a glance was enough to ignite Amos' desire. However, since such a good atmosphere was hard to come by, he didn't want to destroy it deliberately. He quickly gulped a glass of wine to distract himself.

After thinking for a while, Eudora asked again, "Has Miss Liam been discharged from the hospital?"

Amos paused and coughed slightly, "Yes."

But seeing that Eudora was acting strangely, he asked, "Did you hear something?"

Eudora did not respond. He then added, "No matter what it is, you only have to remember this - Trust

me.

Judging by what he said, what Wendy said must be true. The last straw of hope in Eudora's heart disappeared in an instant, but she conjured a small smile and raised her head. "I didn't hear anything. Did something happen?"

Amos shook his head and said, "Nothing."

He knew that he was being selfish. He knew that if Eudora was aware of the marriage, she would be upset and she might even consider leaving him. In that case, he would not tell her unless she knew about it first.

Moreover, she had been in poor health recently, he did not want to make matters worse for her.

The meal was finished in silence.

When Amos approached her later that night, Eudora pushed him away, saying that she was not feeling well. He did not say anything. He kissed her forehead and hugged her to sleep.

However, Eudora could not sleep all night.

The next day, she deliberately got up late and did not go to the company. After he went out, she went straight to Wendy's apartment.
