Fae!
All of a sudden, a name came into her mind.
When she thought of this name, Eudoraâs eyes turned red. She remembered that the person who held her was Fae.
It turned out that she really knew who Fae was.
However, who was the other girl? The person who had snitched on them?
While Eudora George was still lost in her thoughts, she was suddenly held by a pair of strong arms.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you feeling cold?â
Only then did Eudora realize that she was shaking. She shook her head and wanted to say that she was fine. However, she couldnât suppress the shivers that were trembling through her body.
Amos Granger hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped her up. âIs this better?â
Before Eudora could say anything, a sudden explosion went off. A bunch of fireworks rushed up with a woosh and lit up the night sky.
Then, Amos wrapped her securely in his coat and pulled her into his arms. He said, âThis way, you wonât be cold anymore!â
The manâs chest was broad and warm. He wrapped her up tightly, and Eudora finally felt a little warmer.
While they were enjoying the fireworks, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them. âMiss George, Amos Granger, you are here too?â
Eudora was stunned, she followed the voice and saw Wendy Liam appearing from out of nowhere.
Harley Louis couldnât help but snort. âThatâs really a coincidence.â
âWhat a coincidence! It turns out that Mr. Louis is also here too.â
Amos didnât say a word, he was still holding Eudora in his arms. Wendy wanted to get closer to him, but she was pulled away by Harley. âItâs too crowded over there. Come here.â
Wendy couldnât stop him and she was dragged away in the end.
It was already very late when the show ended. Amos took Eudora back to the house.
Wendy hurried to catch up to them and said, âWhy donât we go have a midnight snack together?â
Amos shook his head. âWe ate before coming out.â
Harley butted in on the side. âI havenât eaten yet. If you treat me to supper, Iâll go with you.â
Wendy almost choked on her saliva. After a long time, she said, âIâm on diet.â
âIt canât be. Even if youâre trying to lose weight, I am not! Since youâre already here, why donât you just buy me a meal?â As he said this, he grabbed Wendyâs wrist.
After all, Harley was a martial arts practitioner. His technique was usually used to deal with convicts, by clamping on peopleâs meridians hence making them lose their strength.
Having been grabbed by the wrist, Wendy could not move at all.
âThereâs a good shop ahead. Letâs go together.â Wendy had no choice but to follow him.
When she walked to the intersection, she suddenly saw a candy store and said, âIâm feeling dizzy. Buy me a lollipop!â
Harley thought that she was playing tricks again. He snorted and said, âHow dare you order me around when youâre supposed to be treating me to a meal?â
âNo, Iâm really dizzy, I have hypoglycemiaâ¦â
âYouâre so troublesome!â Harley took her to the candy store. After buying the lollipop, he handed it to her. She skillfully unwrapped the lollipop and put it into her mouth.
Wendy closed her eyes blissfully as if she had tasted the most delicious thing in the world.
When she saw this, Eudora suddenly said, âAmos, I want to have supper.â
âOkay! What do you want to eat?â
âThe one that Harley mentioned just now, it sounds delicious!â
Whenever Eudora talked about eating, her eyes would brighten up, like a cute little glutton. Amos grinned and said, âThen letâs eat together!â
When Harley knew that the two of them were going to join them, he suddenly felt a little confused. âYou two should go and have fun with yourselves. Miss Liam is buying me supper. Why are you two joining all of a sudden?â
Wendy, on the other hand, was more than happy. âThe more the merrier. Letâs eat together!â
After that, she came to hold Eudoraâs hand, but she was pulled away by Harley. âYouâre buying us supper. What are you waiting for? Go and choose a seat.â
Eudora stared at the lollipop in Wendyâs mouth as she watched her walk away slowly.
By the time Eudora and Amos arrived, they had already chosen the seat. In fact, Eudora really was a little hungry. Perhaps because she had been having irregular meals recently and she was famished, she ordered a light soup.
While waiting for the rest of the meal to be served, Eudora suddenly said, âMiss Liam, do you really have hypoglycemia? Are you in poor health?
Wendy was stunned. âNo, Iâm not. I have this problem since I was a child.â
âOh!â Eudora muttered. Why was she confused? Wendy had tried her best to test her a few days ago. Was it because of this matter?
Eudora knew that she was one of the girls who was also trapped in the basement. And because of Wendyâs snitching, she lost a person who had protected her. Was she afraid that she would expose herself? Perhaps that was why she tried to test her.
Thinking of that warm arms that held her earlier, if that girl had not been hurt, Felix Meyer would not have wanted to exact his revenge upon Eudora, and she would not have been in such a situation today.
âAhâ¦â
Eudora gritted her teeth. Even if it was for Fae, she would not let go of Wendy easily.
Thinking of this, she reached out to grab a nacho and fed it to Amos. âThis is your favorite!â
Amos was stunned. Looking at the woman who was smiling widely in front of him, he was touched. She had not laughed like this for a long time. He knew that she was behaving strangely, but he was still very happy.
âThank you!â He took it and put it into his mouth.
Harley, who was next to him, suddenly covered his face. âHow could you do this to me? I am still single, do you think itâs appropriate to act lovey-dovey in front of me?â
Amos smiled without saying anything, but Eudora smiled and said, âWould you like me to introduce someone to you? There are many good girls in our company.â
âSpare me, Eudora! I was just joking. I donât want to be shackled by marriage so soon!â
âThen suit yourself!â After that, she picked up another piece of french fry and fed it to Amos. âThis is not bad.â
Harley winced in exaggeration, clutching at his heart, âOuch, ow, ow, my little heart, itâs broken.â
The three of them exchanged banters. Wendy just wanted to stand next to Amos as they watched the fireworks, but Harley almost broke her hand. But when he talked to Eudora, he treated her as if she was really his sister-in-law.
He even cooperated with them so well in showing off their love!
Wendy gnashed her teeth so hard that she almost broke them, but she could only endure it. Seeing that it was almost time, Eudora wiped her mouth and got up.
âIâm going to the bathroom.â
After coming out from the bathroom, Eudora did not return to the table. She stood in front of the sink and washed her face. She was quiet as if she was waiting for something.
Sure enough, after a while, Wendy pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her standing there, she snorted.
âDidnât you say that you were going to leave Amos? Then why did you do that in front of me just now? Are all these funny to you?â
The corners of Eudoraâs mouth were slightly quirked up. âDid I say that Iâm going to leave Amos?â
âYouâ¦â Wendy said through gritted teeth. âWerenât you unaccepting of the relationship between Amos and I? Why arenât you leaving?â
âI couldnât accept it before, but I have figured it out after getting along with him for a while. Amos is so kind to me, and I even kicked you in front of him. But he still chose to be stand by my side. Where would I be able to find a person who treats me so well? What do you think?â
