Amos took a step back, smiling without warning. Then, he realized why Eudora's necklace looked so familiar.
He recalled that he had seen it in the basement previously. He saw the necklace on the little girl when she was beaten. However, it happened so briefly that he did not remember it clearly.
Harley thought that Amos' smile was a little scary and he quickly said, "Amos, isn't this a good thing? Eudora saved you back then and you have a reaction whenever she touches you. This means that you two were meant to be together! In fact, I have asked her about this, she said that she did not mind..."
However, Amos was already ignoring him. He turned away silently and got into his car.
In a blink of an eye, the car disappeared in front of Harley.
Amos entered the restaurant through the back door as soon as he arrived. Immediately, he saw Eudora sitting under the lights with Juju.
The warm yellow light shone on her head and it made her look like a ray of sunshine.
She had a smile on her face. Her eyes would turn into the shape of a crescent moon whenever she smiled and it was very beautiful.
He recalled what he looked like previously and he no longer has the courage to approach her.
On the other hand, Eudora was too excited that she had arrived an hour earlier.
Auntie Valerie felt the obligation to protect Eudora, so she tagged along as well. She insisted on waiting for Amos to show up before returning home.
There was nothing Eudora could say to change Auntie Valerie's mind so Eudora let her did as she pleased.
In fact, she only focused on the buffalo wings that she had been craving all this time. Finally, she could have a feast!
She was too excited!
As soon as Eudora sat down, she immediately signaled the waiter to prepare the dishes. Then, she checked her watch and realized that it was nearly time.
The waiter was quick with the preparations and shortly after, all the dishes were served.
Eudora looked at the time again and realized that it was already past 8 p.m.!
Why wasn't Amos here yet?
She could not help but wonder. Was he going back on his words again? In that case, she should eat some first, else he was not going to let her touch any of this after he arrived.
However, Auntie Valerie pulled Eudora back in a nick of time and said, "Miss, let's just wait a little longer." Eudora had no choice but to put down her cutlery sadly and say, "I should give Amos a call!"
Auntie Valerie nodded hurriedly and said, "Well, Miss, you've got to communicate with Mr. Granger more."
Eudora was speechless. Since when did Auntie Valerie start spewing nonsense?
The phone was quickly connected and Amos' mobile phone ringtone rang right behind Eudora.
Eudora turned her head hurriedly only to see Amos standing not far away and was staring at her all this time. His eyes were dark. For some reason, Eudora suddenly felt a little sad.
Amos already lowered his head and canceled the call before walking over.
"Why didn't you come over as soon as you arrived? I've waited for you for a long time!"
"I've just arrived!" Amos did not say much. Auntie Valerie was finally relieved and said, "Now that Mr. Granger is here, I will go back first!"
"Be careful on your way!" Eudora said.
After Auntie Valerie left, Eudora looked at Amos and said, "Let's eat! Try some and let me know how it tastes like? This is my favorite!"
She was surprised as soon as she took a mouthful. This was not the buffalo wings that she ordered!
In fact, she had ordered super spicy wings but why weren't they spicy at all?
She called the waiter over hurriedly and asked, "Did you get the wrong soup for me?" The waiter looked at their order and replied, "No, Miss! You ordered non-spicy wings!"
What the h*ll? "But I ordered super..."
