My Second Husband novel Chapter 85

The servant cried out and avoided the attack.

Amos Granger raised his hand to catch the cup. Then, he threw it to the servant, who was standing behind him, and strode inside.

"Wendy! What's wrong?"

The originally mad woman seemed to come back to her senses the moment she heard Amos' voice. She rushed towards Amos immediately. "Amos!"

Just when she was about to run into his arms, Amos placed his hands on her shoulders, "What's wrong?" He asked.

Wendy paused for a moment. Then, she said in horror, "I had a nightmare. In my dream, someone was whipping me in a dark basement!"

Upon hearing this, his gaze darkened, and said in a hurry, "It's alright now. It's just a dream. You're now in Rosaville City, which is tens of thousands of miles away from that place. Those people will never approach you again."

"But I'm really scared!" Wendy said in a trembling voice.

"It's okay." Amos said. Then, he helped her to sit down on the bed and said, "Look at the flowers on the table and close your eyes. You will have a beautiful dream this time."

"Really?"

"Of course!" Amos nodded his head and said. Upon hearing this, Wendy closed her eyes obediently. Seeing how she was calmer, Amos took a deep breath and wanted to get up. All of a sudden, Wendy opened her eyes and said, "Amos, could you please stay here beside me?"

Amos looked at his wristwatch. It was about one o'clock in the morning.

"Okay. You should sleep first."

Wendy closed her eyes with satisfaction, and managed to calm herself down immediately.

The servant couldn't help but praise, "Mr. Granger, you know how to comfort people so well."

Did he even comfort her? Amos was also shocked. Harley would definitely burst into laughter if he heard that. Amos was an indifferent person who spoke nothing but cold words just six months ago. Unexpectedly, he knew how to comfort people now.

Amos suddenly thought of the lazy and mischievous woman. He couldn't help but smile.

'She should have fallen asleep by now, right?' He thought.

Amos missed her so much. He stood up immediately and said, "Please take care of Miss Liam. I'm going back now!"

"Okay!" The servant responded and nodded.

However, just as he was done saying those words, Wendy opened her eyes again. She asked, "Amos, are you leaving?"

Amos frowned, "You were not asleep yet?"

"I'm not going to sleep. Bad guys will come to me if I fall asleep!" Wendy said.

Amos was a little helpless. He tried to comfort her, "There won't be any bad people anymore!" Then, he turned to look at the servant, who was standing behind him and said, "Why isn't the doctor here yet?"

The servant said immediately, "I'll go ask where he is now."

Wendy looked at Amos apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, did I trouble you? Please just go back now. I'm fine being alone."

Although she said so, Amos knew that she wasn't emotionally stable yet. Therefore, he shook his head and said, "No, I'm not leaving."

"Really?" Wendy smiled and said, "Can you please tell me a story then? Perhaps I'll fall asleep listening to the story."

A story? Amos frowned and said, "I don't know how to tell a story."

"Just tell me a story!" Wendy begged, "Just one!"

After thinking for a while, Amos suddenly remembered the story Eudora George told him back then, when he was having rashes.

He opened his mouth, looking somewhat awkward as he spoke.

"How many steps would it take to put an elephant into the refrigerator?"

Wendy looked at him in shock and asked him back, "How many?"

Amos remembered how he refused to answer Eudora, as he was feeling very itchy from the rashes back then, so he wasn't in the mood to cooperate with her jokes.

Eudora begged him twice for a reply. Seeing how he kept quiet, Eudora could only answer herself.
