My Second Husband novel Chapter 271

Amos Granger glanced over at Christopher Gellert. Harley's eyes gleamed in anticipation.

"Wow Christopher, I thought you'd have settled down since you've gotten married. What did you mean by that? You're not infatuated with Eudora, are you?"

Amos' tone turned cold, "Watch it, Harley."

Harley's neck shrunk at the tone, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Eudora and I aren't like that. No matter what, she will always be my best friend," Christopher said coldly.

Harley Louis burst into a bout of laughter.

His amusement died down as he slowly made his way to rest his arms on the pool's edges.

"Amos, what's your take on this? Do you think that something is going on between them?"

Amos frowned, "What are you even talking about?"

"Come on, you're not that oblivious, are you? Haven't you ever suspected if there was anything more than a platonic relationship between the two of them? Surely you must have!"

With that, a trigger was set off.

"Harley, are you accusing my wife of adultery?!"

Christopher, on the other hand, looked at Harley with a fierce glare, "Officer Louis, please don't suggest such nonsense."

"This is just cruel. I'm not even allowed to speak the truth now? Scr*w you guys, I'm leaving for the barbecue," he heaved. Harley got up and left, leaving the two men alone.

Once Harley left, Amos started to speak, "Christopher, I think we really need to have a proper conversation right now."

"I don't have anything to talk with you," Christopher replied. He started to move about as though he was about to leave the pool as well.

Seeing Christopher's movements, Amos stopped him.

"Christopher, I think we should start off with a clean slate."

Christopher was in disbelief as he processed what he had just heard. He could not believe his own ears.

"What did you say? A clean slate? Us?"

"Would that be a problem?" Amos asked with a smile, "You now have the support of the Gellert family. However, you know as well as I do that as long as your brother remains, you will never be able to step out of his shadow. Surely you've realized by now that Valiant East is a far better option than what your family offers. We're not that far off from each other. Don't you want to do something with yourself and bring some glory to appease your late mother?"

Christopher was quiet for a moment before letting out a bitter laugh. "Amos, do you think you're being generous right now?"

"No, I don't," Amos denied vehemently, "It'll only be slightly beneficial for me if you do take up my offer. I am extending my appreciation for your accompany for Euroda all these years.

Christopher smirked, "Amos, cut the cr*p. What does my accompany to Eudora have to do with you? Are you afraid that I'll steal her from you? are you worried about that?"

Amos merely looked at him.

"Listen, I don't want to discuss such nonsense with you. Please think about what I've just said more carefully, okay? As for Eudora and Juju, let me tell you this.They will ever only belong to me, and only me. So get that through your head!"

He then got up and wrapped himself in a robe. He walked out, leaving Christopher alone in the pool.

Christopher just sat there for a long while in a daze.

In the other side, however, it was much more decent and peaceful as compared to the tense atmosphere on the men's side.

Juju's presence helped tremendously. She was cheerful and adorable. Tina Holt and Tina absolutely adored her.

Eudora and Tina had known each other for a long time, so there wasn't much need for conversation. The other woman, however, was a stranger to both of them.

Though, that did not matter to her much as she seemed to be a lively soul. She introduced herself merrily without being asked.

"Eudora, I've heard so much about you. My name is Thea Stewart! I've mentioned before that I work as a mistress dispeller."

Tina and Thea were about the same age, so her interest piqued at that, "A Mistress dispeller? That sounds like an interesting job!"
