"Oh, you're both here."
Tina Holt did not seem well. Her face looked sharper and thinner than before.
She nodded slightly, "It's better for me not to..." Before Tina could even finish her sentence, Christopher Gellert had already taken her hand in his.
"Since we're all here, we might as well treat this as our honeymoon. We haven't spent a honeymoon since we got married anyway!" Christopher beamed.
Tina was taken aback by Christopher's behavior. She frowned. Christopher, however, just smiled widely at her.
Back then, he told Eudora George that he liked Tina. That was the reason they got married in the first place. Now that Amos Granger was here, Christopher did not want to look pathetic next to him.
Tina had never seen this winning, handsome smile from Christopher before. Her brain short- circuited for a moment. They merely stared at each other in silence.
When Eudora saw what was happening, she left the couple alone happily and walked back to her car with Juju in her arms.
The three cars then started the journey to their destination. They were heading towards the hot spring resort that they've booked.
Eudora had booked three rooms, one for each couple.
Upon arrival, Harley Louis was the first to make a big fuss, "Who in heavens would want to stay in the same room with this blind woman? I want to change my room!"
Both Christopher and Tina were also staring furiously at the receptionist at the front desk, waiting for him to confirm that they could change their rooms.
However, the receptionist merely sent them a polite smile, "I'm very sorry everyone. It's peak season now so all of our rooms have been fully booked."
Before Harley could kick up another fuss, Christopher had already spoken.
"How could you operate a business like this without any empty room?!"
Tina, sensing Christopher's reluctance to share a room, frowned. When Christopher turned back, she spoke up, "That's right! It is not convenient."
The receptionist then asked them, "Aren't you both together? Why would you need separate rooms?"
Christopher was at a loss for words.
Just then, Eudora and Amos came in with Juju from the behind. Upon hearing the receptionist, Eudora nodded hurriedly, "Yes, they're married," Looking back at Christopher, she asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Christopher picked up his suitcase in irritation, "Nope, none at all."
On the other hand, Harley and his companion had calmed down.
Both of them looked at each other and in an instant, they rushed towards the direction of their room.
"The bed is mine!"
Eudora was speechless.
When the other two pairs left, Eudora rubbed her forehead in worry, "Why did Harley take the girl with him?"
Amos laughed helplessly, "He said that he was the only single fellow among all of us. He didn't want to feel like a fifth wheel so he just had to bring someone with him. It doesn't really matter, you don't have to worry about them. I'll deal with it."
Eudora shook her head, "I don't think that we need to mind them too much. They're obviously a perfect match!"
"Are you turning into a matchmaker now?" Amos asked.
Eudora was confused, "Am I?"
"What do you think?"
The receptionist next to him smiled, "Becoming a matchmaker is not a horrible thing, you know. It's said that only happy people would want to convey their happiness by matchmaking others around them. You two certainly look like a very happy couple."
Eudora looked at the man who was a real smooth talker.
After collecting their room card, they headed towards their room. When she walked past Christopher's room, she deliberately perked up her ears to hear if there were sounds coming from the inside. However, all she could hear was silence.
Harley's room next door, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. It seemed like those two were fighting in there.
