My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 452

Even though her memories had yet to completely recover, Eudora was still a woman. She could still tell when someone was trying to seduce her man.

This was especially since Kesha was known to be a flirt. She used to ignore them all the time, but she had become so hospitable and courteous all of a sudden. Something was definitely off.

Eudora frowned and looked at Kesha.

Kesha raised her brow and glanced at Eudora with provocation.

She was not even trying to hide her intentions. Was she declaring war on her?

At this moment, Kesha spoke again, "Come on, Eudora, have a try too. We'll get to see who brews a better pot of tea then."

Eudora looked at the teacup without saying a word. The next second, Amos pushed his cup and Eudora's away.

"I'm not thirsty."

Kesha was stunned. She couldn't believe that Amos would refuse her kind gesture even after she had worked it for the whole day. She was indignant.

However, she couldn't possibly give up, especially on a man like Amos. It was because he was hard to get that made him even more attractive!

"It's fine if you're not thirsty. Mom, shall I help you cook dinner?" Felicia looked at Kesha in surprise.

"Kesha, what did you say?"

"I said that I'll help you prepare dinner! I used to help you out in the kitchen, didn't I? You even praised my cooking! Well, since Eudora is here, I'll let her have a taste of my cooking then."

She raised her chin at Eudora.

She recalled the time when Felix used to complain about Eudora's cooking. Now that Amos had pampered her, she probably didn't even know how to cook a simple dish anymore. Kesha believed that she was definitely superior to Eudora in this aspect.

She smirked again and suggested, "Eudora, why don't you cook too? I have yet to try your dishes."

Amos grasped Eudora's hand.

"No..." Before Amos could even finish, Eudora had already spoken up, "Sure!"

It was obvious that Kesha was challenging her. She couldn't possibly concede defeat instead of protecting her man, right?

Even though she recalled that she had become timider than she was before, she wasn't the type to back down easily when met with such provocation.

Amos frowned, "Eudora ..."

He had been trying to protect her from all kinds of danger ever since she got pregnant. At this moment, he was extremely worried.

"It'll be fine!" Eudora beamed at him and spoke softly, "Hubby, wait for me out here with Juju, okay?"

A glint flashed past his eyes. He knew that she was competing with Kesha. He looked at her helplessly. It seemed that her woman was still as mischievous as before! Amos nodded in response, "Okay!"

He was sure that Kesha wouldn't dare to harm Eudora with him around anyway.

Felicia was elated. She was oblivious of Kesha's intentions, but it was rare that Kesha was willing to cook and get on well with Eudora in front of Gordon. To her, this seemed like a good thing. Therefore, she went along with it.

She took out all the ingredients that she had bought that day and reminded Eudora kindly.

"Eudora, you seldom cooked in the past. Why don't you make something simple?"

No matter what Felicia used to be like in the past, she still hoped that the whole family could get along well with each other on this day. That way, she could at least stand tall in front of Gordon. Kesha would not let Eudora off so easily. She immediately interjected,

"Mom, what are you talking about? Just because Eudora seldom cooked at home before doesn't mean that she can't cook. It's rare for her to help you. Eudora, why don't you prepare a roast chicken, some marinated pork ribs, as well as some creamy chicken mushroom soup? What do you think?"

The dishes that Kesha had suggested did not sound complicated, but if Eudora really was an amateur, she would definitely be stumped.

Eudora raised an eyebrow and exclaimed, "That's quite a bit, isn't it?"

Kesha thought that Eudora was nervous. She grinned and taunted her, "Is it? In that case, why don't you leave out one of the dishes? But I don't think that you would want to lose to me, do you?" Eudora paid no attention to her. She took the ingredients that she needed and began to prepare them.

Amos was sitting idly in the living room, while Juju and Gordon were playing games next to him. He had been observing the movement in the kitchen. He got up worriedly when he heard the sound of chopping. He noticed that Eudora was cutting the ribs with a knife.

Eudora lost her grip on the knife for a moment and nearly dropped it. Amos could feel his heart skipping a beat. He rushed over in a hurry and pulled her away, asking, "Are you okay?"

Amos pulled Eudora into his arms inadvertently, a sense of comfort enveloping her at that moment.

Her heart skipped a beat. She felt so embarrassed.

Truth be told, it had been a while since she had stepped into the kitchen, hence her skills had gotten a little rusty. However, it was just a small slip. She would have been able to dodge it even if Amos had not intervened.

However, she put on a frail facade after looking at Amos's worried face.

"I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose!" Amos caressed her hair and said, "Let me do it."

"No!" Eudora insisted. "Don't worry, I'll be fine! Trust me. Just go back to the living room, alright?"

She finally got Amos to leave after persuading him.

Kesha was green with jealousy. She mocked, "Heh! Eudora, I used to think that you were pretty impressive, but I guess you're not all that after all."

She then continued cutting the vegetables. This little episode boosted her confidence. It seemed to her that Amos had realized the fact that Eudora was nothing but a pretty face.

She was certain that Amos would discover how capable she was in due time and end up with her just like how Steven did before.

Eudora couldn't care less about her provocation. She always believed in the saying, 'don't count your chickens before they hatch'.

It was meaningless to fight against her verbally.

What she needed to do was to prove her wrong with her actions.

Eudora composed herself and continued prepping the ingredients. Fortunately, the kitchen was not too small. There was enough space between the two of them.

Moments later, the dishes were ready.

Kesha made a few dishes that were complex in her opinion. She had learned these beforehand just for today's face-off.

Everyone sat down at the table after the dishes were served. Kesha's dishes looked much better than Eudora's as she had taken the effort to plate them nicely. Eudora's, on the other hand, was simple and without any special touches.

Kesha smirked confidently and said, "Shall we taste it?"
