Amos nodded with satisfaction before agreeing, âThatâs more like it! Itâs just that there will be a marathon being held in Rosaville City in the next few days. Take care of your own safety, and be careful not to cause chaos among the civilians.â
âIâll be careful!â
After saying that, Naomi bowed to Amos.
âMom, Dad, Iâm sorry that Iâve let you two worry about me.â
Then, she turned around and went upstairs.
After she left, Eudora asked, âHas she pulled herself together?â
Amos shook his head and said, âJudging by her distressed look and her keenness to catch him personally, it goes without saying that sheâs still not over him.â
Eudora sighed, and then looked at Amos intently, as if she had recalled something.
âWait, you seem to be able to read Naomiâs mood quite well. From whom did you learn such a skill from?â
Staring at Eudora, who was beginning to grow jealous all of a sudden, he was dumbfounded.
âWhat are you thinking about?â
âWell, youâve investigated everything about me clearly, but youâve never told me about your past. Itâs said that a manâs first love is unforgettable. So, whoâs your first love?â
âMy first love?â
A clear-eyed girl instantly appeared in Amosâs mind.
âSpeaking of first love, I remember a girl. She was really cute.â
âCute?â
Eudora furrowed her brow slightly. It seemed to be the first time that she had heard Amos praise a girl for her cuteness.
For some reason, she felt depressed as she asked, âHow cute was she?â
âShe was incredibly cute. Her voice was really gentle and there was always a smile on her face. Besides, she was also very courageous, Iâ¦â
âStop it!â
Eudora couldnât bear to listen to him anymore.
In fact, she had told herself not to be obsessed about his past since everything was already over. She had even married Felix back then! Amos having a first love was nothing compared to that. Logically, she shouldnât get angry.
However, upon hearing him sing praises about another girl, jealousy still got the better of her.
âI donât want to hear you speak anymore. Iâm going upstairs!â
After that, she got up and was about to leave.
At the sight of that, Amos pulled her back.
âCome back, honey. Donât leave!â
She was somewhat disconcerted by Amosâs words about his first love, and bitterness was written all over her face. She struggled to free herself from his arms, but her attempts were fruitless.
Before she could escape, he had already embraced her.
âAre you jealous of that girl?â
He seemed quite pleased.
âNo, Iâm not!â
Still in denial about her jealousy, she retorted, âWhatâs there to be jealous of at our age?â
Upon hearing that, Amos grew even happier as he added, âSo, you still get jealous at such an age, which means you care a lot about me.â
âQuit being so smug about it!â
âBut you like it, donât you?â
Amos started to become complacent.
Eudora stood her ground, âI donât like it⦠ah!â
Before her voice died away, he had already lowered his head to cover her lips. After an affectionate kiss, he pressed the tip of his nose against hers.
âGuess what! My first love is you!â
Mystified, Eudora asked hesitantly, âMe?â
âWhy donât I remember all that?â
Amos said, âBack in the day, you were still a child. Itâs normal to forget things that happened during your childhood. However, I remember it all. Iâm certain that youâre my first love.â
Eudora was embarrassed. Suddenly, she recalled something.
âDonât tell me that youâre talking about what happened in Country M back then?â
She had some understanding about the truth many years ago. So, she was aware of some details. However, at that time, she was still too young to remember everything.
Moreover, an extremely long time had passed, therefore she had forgotten most of it.
âOf course!â
Eudora blushed as she said, âAh, I remember now! It turns out that you had already fallen in love with me at that time.â
Her mood swings were quite a sight. A few minutes ago, she had still been feeling jealous. However, at the moment, she was on cloud nine.
Amos loved the way she was gloating over it. The more he looked at her, the stronger his fond attachment towards her grew.
He could not help but plant another kiss on her lips again before he said, âYes, Iâm in love with you!â
Exasperated, Eudora said, âCanât you be reserved for a moment?â
âI donât want to be reserved. I want to tell the entire world that I like you.â
Only then did Eudora reply to him mischievously, âOkay, you win! You can tell the world about it while I go to sleep.â
After saying that, she tried to stand up. Unexpectedly, she felt light-headed and she almost fell down.
Seeing that, Amos hurriedly hugged her from behind to support her body.
He asked worriedly, âAre you okay?â
Eudora blinked her eyes and said, âIâm okay. Iâm just a little dizzy. Maybe itâs because âve stayed up all night. Iâll be fine after a good sleep.â
âNo, Iâll call the doctor right now.â
Amos was perturbed about her condition.
âLook at the time now! Doctor Leon is already so old, so donât wake him up and make him rush over here at a time like this. Iâm really fine. I know my own body well, donât worry!â
Then, in order to reassure Amos, she obediently threw herself into his arms.
âI donât want to go to our room on my own. Please carry me upstairs!â
In response to that, he put everything aside and carried her upstairs.
Even so, he still called Doctor Leon over to examine her the next day.
Leon brought his grandson with him. Surprisingly, Helen had managed to get pregnant with her second child in spite of her age.
They had wanted a daughter, but the child had turned out to be a son.
After they came into the house, his grandson was not afraid of strangers at all as he had a good time playing in the living room.
Eudora looked at him lovingly and said, âHeâs so adorable. He reminds me of how Sugar Bun looked like when he was a little kid.â
Doctor Leon cast an indulgent glance at his grandson and said, âItâs all thanks to this child. I had nothing to do after retirement. If it werenât for him, I would be so bored.â
Eudora sighed, âThatâs right, I feel really bored now as well! It would be great if I could have a grandchild along my side.â
Leon noticed the eagerness in Eudoraâs eyes and he quickly held his grandson in his arms vigilantly.
âYou canât take him away! Heâs my precious grandson. If you want a grandchild, tell your children to get married fast and give birth to one!â
Just as Leon finished speaking, Naomi happened to come down from upstairs.
Eudora was afraid that his words would trigger Naomi, hence she immediately stood up.
âNo, what are you talking about? Actually, I donât like children a lot either.â
After that, she turned to Naomi with a smile and said, âNaomi, youâre awake! Cindy has prepared breakfast. Have some of it first before you head out!â
Naomi nodded and said, âOkay!â
Leon realized that he had said something inappropriate.
After Naomi went to the dining room, he apologized to Eudora in a low voice, âIâm sorry for that, I didnât mean it!â
Eudora waved her hand and said, âItâs not a big deal. By the way, howâs my body?â
She was curious about her condition.
