Amos Granger looked at Harley Louis immediately. Harley waved his hand and said, "It's not me!"
Wendy Liam smiled, "I came here by myself. I've always said that I wanted to know Miss George better. But, I never had the chance."
"Why didn't you tell me that Miss George is your girlfriend? I think I made things awkward in front of her. Miss George, are you angry at me?"
Eudora frowned and shook her head. "No."
"That's good!" Wendy responded immediately. Then, she put down the things in her hands and said, "I don't know what you like. So, I bought some simple groceries from the supermarket. I'll cook for all of you. Please sit."
'Is she trying to be the owner of the house?' Harley thought silently to himself.
"It's not right for the guests to cook. Amos and Eudora are both good at cooking. Let's go have a seat outside!" Harley said out loud.
Wendy froze as she heard Harley's words. She was unhappy when she realized Amos and Eudora were wearing matching aprons.
"You're right. But, not many people know how to cook this. I'm afraid Miss George do not..."
"I know!" Auntie Valerie said immediately. She felt that Wendy had bad intentions.
Wendy loosened her grip and said embarrassedly, "Well, I'll leave it to you then."
Harley grabbed her arm and pulled her out. He turned to Amos and Eudora and said, "Please don't feel pressured. I trust that you can cook a good meal!"
Eudora laughed as she heard Harley's casual tone. She replied, "Sure."
Amos clarified after they went out, "I didn't know she would come."
"I believe you. But, I'm going to ask you more after she leaves." Eudora said.
Amos smiled, "Okay!"
Auntie Valerie breathed a sigh of relief. She thought both of them were going to quarrel again.
The three of them worked together in the kitchen. They whipped up a meal pretty fast.
Harley praised, "Eudora, you're so talented in cooking."
Eudora was embarrassed. She said, "I'm not that good!"
"The food is really delicious. It's no wonder that Amos wants to come back for dinner every day!"
Wendy did not look comfortable. She forced a smile and said, "Amos doesn't want to have dinner at my house either. It turns out that the food here is more delicious."
All of them remained silent after hearing what Wendy said.
In the end, Harley spoke out loud, "Of course, nothing beats the food from home."
Wendy pursed her lips and lowered her head unhappily.
After the meal, Eudora brewed tea for everyone. Four of them sat in the living room and chatted. After sitting for a while, Eudora felt awkward. Therefore, she got up and said,
"I'll help Auntie Valerie with the dishes!"
Amos held her hand and said, "Please go upstairs and rest if you're tired."
"I'm fine!" Eudora explained.
Wendy pursed her lips and stood up. She said, "I'll help them with the dishes as well! I feel sorry for coming here without informing you first."
"It's okay!" Eudora let out a smile.
"It's alright. We're all friends anyway!" Wendy added.
In the end, Wendy went to the kitchen to help wash the dishes too.
Wendy stood beside Eudora while washing the dishes, "Amos seems to like brussels sprouts very much."
"Oh, yeah." Eudora replied briefly.
"I really can't tell that he likes to eat brussels sprouts. But, it's really hard to see through him. Do you know he even enjoys joking?"
