My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 817
The two looked into each other's eyes. Somehow, Eudora felt as if she was staring into his soul. For some reason, she felt her heart ache. At that moment, she hallucinated seeing Amos.
Before she could take another look, Sawyer had already propped her up and helped her to sit down.
"Be careful! Didn't your assistant tell you to not read the documents anymore?"
His voice was extremely faint, but it carried a domineering aura. For some reason, Eudora felt a mysterious pressuring aura.
Ever since Amos had left, she had not felt this sensation ever since.
Now, she was in charge of all the affairs in the company. Usually, she was the one who would put pressure on others. No one else dared to put pressure on her.
Just as she was thinking about that, Sawyer stretched his hand out and took away all the documents.
"It's time for dinner. You need to eat something!"
Only then did Eudora remember what he had said in the afternoon about him coming over to deliver dinner!
"You don't have to be so courteous. My assistant will bring me food too!"
Sawyer stayed silent. He put the container down and slowly opened the lid.
The aroma from the food immediately came out of the container, smelling delicious.
The food that she had been having every day was also delicious and exquisite. Reasonably speaking, she would not have many cravings.
However, for some unknown reason, the aroma of this food was particularly strong.
Just by smelling it, she could no longer hold herself back.
She subconsciously swallowed her saliva and said seriously, "It must have been quite an effort to deliver it here for Miss Malone. Why don't you let me have a taste?" The corners of Sawyer's mouth, hidden beneath his mask, curled up instantly.
"All right!"
He took a bowl, filled it with soup, and placed it in front of Eudora. Eudora only took a sip of it. Then, she couldn't stop praising him.
"It's so delicious! It's been a long time since I last had such delicious soup."
In her memory, when her mother had been alive, the soup that she had cooked for her father tasted like this as well.
Later on, she had used to make such soup herself. At that time, she had just gotten together with Amos. She had not gone to work, and only stayed at home and cooked.
Every day, she would think about what to cook for him!
After that, she started working and became busier. She did not have the energy to cook anymore!
For many years, she had never cooked for her close family and friends.
At the thought of that, she felt regretful. Her eyes involuntarily turned red.
It would be great if Amos was still alive. She still had many things that she had not shared with him. She promised that she would earn enough money so that he could stay home to take care of the children. However, she did not fulfill a single one of her promises.
With a drip, one of her tears fell into the soup, causing a small ripple.
Sawyer's heart was filled with mixed emotions upon seeing that.
He wanted to hold her in his arms to comfort her. However, the moment he stretched his hand out, he felt as if his hand was a foreign object.
In the end, he could only clench his fists and sink his fingertips into his palms.
It seemed that only in that way could he calm his emotions down a little and force himself to not ask for more.
After a long time, after he calmed down, he walked over to switch on the television. Then, he stood where he was, like a sculpture.
Eudora did not have the habit of shedding tears in front of a stranger. Just now, it had just been a slip- up. Very quickly, she managed to calm herself down.
After she regained her emotions, she noticed that the television had been turned on.
At that moment, a comedy show was being broadcasted on the television. It was quite funny.
Eudora could not help but laugh at the show.
For too long, she had not been so relaxed and ate while watching TV.
After Eudora's mood turned for the better, she suddenly turned to look at Sawyer.
"Thank you."
She was really grateful. Sawyer seemed cold, but in fact, he was kind and warm-hearted.
Thinking about that fact, it seemed that he had helped her several times.
Sawyer turned his head awkwardly and said, "I just wanted to watch it myself too."
Would a cold-hearted person like him enjoy comedy? Eudora knew that he was trying to cover the incident up. As long as she understood his intentions in her heart, that was enough. After finishing the soup, Eudora handed him something.
"Thank you. If you're busy, you don't have to come by tomorrow! I think you should go back early to rest."
"Okay," said Sawyer as he quietly opened the door and left.
However, he did not leave immediately. He found a place to sit down at the corridor outside and stared at the ward she was living in.
A nurse came in to check on Eudora.
Aside from the sound coming from the show playing, Eudora's happy voice could be heard from time to time.
A smile appeared on Sawyer's face as he placed his hands behind his head.
When the nurse came out, the room grew quiet again.
Seeing that the door of the ward was not shut properly and realizing that many people walked past the corridors, Sawyer wondered if it would affect her rest.
It would be inconvenient for her to walk around in her current state. Just as he walked over to help close the door, he heard her making a call.
"Clint? You have something to do at the moment, so you can't come to see me? It's fine. You should focus on your work! You don't need to bring me dinner. I have already eaten. I'm not lying. Elaine sent someone to deliver some food. It's delicious."
Sawyer frowned. Clint wasn't coming? Was she going to be alone in her ward the whole night?
At that moment, he saw Eudora get down from the bed. After turning off the TV, she started hopping towards the documents on the tea table by the side. Sawyer was speechless.
He could not believe that she was still thinking about working this late at night.
Looking at the rain outside, Sawyer turned around and went to the washroom. He splashed water on his hair and clothes, then he opened the door and entered. Eudora had just put the documents on the bed, and before she could even read them, she was shocked.
"You..."
This time, Sawyer familiarly reached his hand out to catch the fallen document.
"Are you going to start working again?"
Eudora could not reply to his question
Why did she feel a little awkward as if she had been caught cheating?
"You...Why have you come back?"
Sawyer replied calmly, "It's raining outside. I didn't manage to hail a taxi! That's why I've come back! Do you mind if I stay here for a bit longer?"
Although Eudora felt that the situation was a little strange, she did not reject his request.
After all, he had come all the way here to deliver food to her. He had helped her several times. There was no reason for her to chase him away! "Sure, that's okay!" Eudora said.
Sawyer nodded and took the documents from Eudora's bed and placed them in the drawer in extremely convenient fashion. Only then did he find a place to sit down.
The two of them stared at each other with their eyes wide open. For some reason, the atmosphere felt even more strange.
Eudora looked out of the window. Her head full of hair laid on the pillow, and she looked like a small hamster.
A thought flashed through Sawyer's mind. He could not stand the bored expression on her face.
He took out his mobile phone and opened a game interface. Soon, the music of the game echoed in the ward. Eudora was stunned, "You play this game too?"
"Yes!" Sawyer nodded. "Do you play this too? Let's play it together!"
