Amos Granger looked at Harley Louis immediately. Harley waved his hand and said, âItâs not me!â
Wendy Liam smiled, âI came here by myself. Iâve always said that I wanted to know Miss George better. But, I never had the chance.â
âWhy didnât 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?â
Eudora frowned and shook her head. âNo.â
âThatâs good!â Wendy responded immediately. Then, she put down the things in her hands and said, âI donât know what you like. So, I bought some simple groceries from the supermarket. Iâll cook for all of you. Please sit.â
âIs she trying to be the owner of the house?â Harley thought silently to himself.
âItâs not right for the guests to cook. Amos and Eudora are both good at cooking. Letâs go have a seat outside!â Harley said out loud.
Wendy froze as she heard Harleyâs words. She was unhappy when she realized Amos and Eudora were wearing matching aprons.
âYouâre right. But, not many people know how to cook this. Iâm afraid Miss George do notâ¦â
âI know!â Auntie Valerie said immediately. She felt that Wendy had bad intentions.
Wendy loosened her grip and said embarrassedly, âWell, Iâll leave it to you then.â
Harley grabbed her arm and pulled her out. He turned to Amos and Eudora and said, âPlease donât feel pressured. I trust that you can cook a good meal!â
Eudora laughed as she heard Harleyâs casual tone. She replied, âSure.â
Amos clarified after they went out, âI didnât know she would come.â
âI believe you. But, Iâm going to ask you more after she leaves.â Eudora said.
Amos smiled, âOkay!â
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, âEudora, youâre so talented in cooking.â
Eudora was embarrassed. She said, âIâm not that good!â
âThe food is really delicious. Itâs no wonder that Amos wants to come back for dinner every day!â
Wendy did not look comfortable. She forced a smile and said, âAmos doesnât want to have dinner at my house either. It turns out that the food here is more delicious.â
All of them remained silent after hearing what Wendy said.
In the end, Harley spoke out loud, âOf course, nothing beats the food from home.â
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, âIâll help Auntie Valerie with the dishes!â
Amos held her hand and said, âPlease go upstairs and rest if youâre tired.â
âIâm fine!â Eudora explained.
Wendy pursed her lips and stood up. She said, âIâll help them with the dishes as well! I feel sorry for coming here without informing you first.â
âItâs okay!â Eudora let out a smile.
âItâs alright. Weâre all friends anyway!â Wendy added.
In the end, Wendy went to the kitchen to help wash the dishes too.
â¦
Wendy stood beside Eudora while washing the dishes, âAmos seems to like brussels sprouts very much.â
âOh, yeah.â Eudora replied briefly.
âI really canât tell that he likes to eat brussels sprouts. But, itâs really hard to see through him. Do you know he even enjoys joking?â
Upon hearing this, Eudoraâs body stiffened. âIs that so?â
âYup! Whenever I was not feeling well, he would stay beside me and tell me a lot of jokes for the whole night. The joke about putting the elephant into the fridge is very funny. Have you heard about it before?â Wendy asked.
Eudora frowned and thought to herself, âIsnât this the joke that I told Amos?â
âI have not!â Eudora replied Wendy casually.
âOh you didnât know about it too? I didnât know about the joke before Amos told me. I remembered it clearly because Amos said it in a very funny way. Let me tell you, there are three steps in total. Firstâ¦â
Eudoraâs heart ached when she heard Wendy speak.
In the end, Eudora could not bear it anymore. She interrupted Wendy, âIâm sorry, I donât want to listen to this.â
Wendy was stunned. Auntie Valerie said angrily, âMiss Liam, you should go out and relax! Since this is not your house anyway so you donât need to help!â
Wendy accidentally dropped the plate to the ground out of shock. Her face turned pale. She said, âMiss George, did I say something wrong? I didnât mean to tell you about the times I spent with Amos. Please donât be angry with Amos.â
Eudora frowned and said, âMiss Liam, Auntie Valerie and I didnât say anything, right? You donât have to say all these.â
Eudora had just finished washing the plates. Therefore, she went out right after speaking. However, Wendy grabbed her arm and said, âPlease donât be angry at me, Miss George.â
Amos and Harley saw the both of them were arguing. They came over and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Wendyâs face was pale. She looked very weak and her body was shivering.
âIâm sorry, Amos. I donât know what Iâd said. Miss George is unhappy now. Can you please help me explain?â
Eudora sneered, âMiss Liam, you are really good at acting.â After that, she went straight upstairs.
Amos frowned and looked at Harley. He said, âPlease send Wendy back.â
Harley nodded his head, âOkay.â
Wendy was still reluctant to leave. She looked at Amos and said, âIâm sorry.â
Amos didnât say anything. He turned around and went upstairs.
â¦
Eudora was lying down on the bed. After a short while, Amos went into the room.
He hugged her from behind and said, âIâm a little worried.â
Eudora frowned and asked, âWhat are you worried about?â
âYouâre angry!â Amos said. âIâm worried that youâll run away from me.â
Eudora was speechless because Amos had mastered coquetry, and he was even using it on her.
Eudora was no longer angry. She frowned and exaplined, âI donât like Wendy Liam.â
âOkay.â Amos nodded his head and responded.
âSo, I donât want to see her at our house anymore.â Eudora continued.
âSure!â Amos responded.
âAlsoâ¦â Thinking of the joke that Wendy had told her, Eudora frowned.
âYou canât tell her any jokes anymore, especially the joke about the elephant and the refrigerator.â Eudora said.
Amos was stunned. âAre you jealous?â
âThatâs a joke Iâve told you. Youâre not allowed to tell others.â Eudora made her stance clear.
âIâll do whatever you say!â Amos lowered his head and kissed her collarbone. âIs there anything else?â
Eudora shook her head.
A feminine scent wafted into Amosâ nose. It ignited the desire in him.
He kissed her from the collarbone to her ear. Then, he nibbled on her earlobe gently. Eudora was immersed in this pleasant feeling.
In the end, both of them got intimate and eventually made love.
