My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 883
At the dining table, Harley gazed around and noticed that the atmosphere between Eudora and Amos was indeed a bit weird. Therefore, he made a suggestion.
"How rare it is for us to gather together so why don't we play a game before we start eating?"
"Okay!" Thea said while looking affectionately at him. Since the day they had reconciled, they seemed to be in love all over again. Even her depression was spontaneously healed!
If it wasn't for the fact that Cutie Pie was sick, the three of them would be on cloud nine already.
Fortunately, his health had taken a favorable turn. From time to time, he could leave the house to play. It couldn't get any better. Christopher agreed and said, "I have no problem with that."
Tina was the only one salivating at the beef Wellington. She asked, "Can I have a bite first?"
Christopher broke into laughter. He grabbed a piece of the dish, placed it onto her plate, and said tenderly, "You can have it!"
She flashed a wide grin and said, "Thank you,
Honey. Didn't you all just say that we're going to play a game? Let's start!"
Leon smiled and said, "Okay, but I'm old, so I won't play it. I can be the referee for your game, though."
The decision was unanimous. Harley then announced the game.
"Truth or dare!"
Eudora shot a glance at Amos furtively. She thought, "Truth or dare? Maybe I could ask him to tell the truth if there's a chance."
While she was thinking, Leon brought over a vase that he had found and put it in the middle of the table.
"All right, I'll spin the vase. To whom it points at when it stops, he or she would have to pick either a 'truth' or a 'dare'."
Leon was the eldest among the bunch, so naturally everyone was willing to listen to him.
Soon, the game began.
In the first round, the vase pointed at Harley. Without wasting time, Harley asked them directly, "What do you want to ask? I'll answer all of your questions truthfully." Everyone did not make things difficult for him. In the end, it was Tina who asked, "When did you start liking Thea?"
He was flabbergasted for a moment. He thought that everyone would embarrass him by asking about how he felt when Thea went to Floral City to find that man!
He didn't expect that everyone to be that kind.
He thought for a while and suddenly felt a little bashful.
"It has been ages ago!"
Eudora found it a little funny and said, "I thought you were a ladies' man! Why are you blushing now?"
He waved his hand at her immediately and said, "Eudora, what are you talking about? It was all tall tales. Since when have I been a ladies' man? Thea is the only woman I have!"
Eudora rolled her eyes whereas Amos, who was next to her, cast a glance at him out of the corner of his eye.
Although he did say anything, Harley could tell from the look in his eyes that he was warning him not to bully his woman.
Harley was dumbstruck.
"Well, you two, let's see how I make you suffer later!" He thought in his mind. Harboring such thoughts, he turned to look at Thea.
"If I had to pin it down to when, I think it started at the holiday villa!" He said.
She was stunned for some time before she frowned and said, "So, you started liking me at such a late stage of our relationship!" Harley started panicking.
"No, it might be before that!"
She turned her head and ignored him. Harley added, "Oh, I remember it! It began at the time when I started catching you often."
She still didn't say anything. Then, he said determinedly, "It started the first time I saw you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been chasing you all the time!"
She snorted and said, "That's more like it!"
He wiped his sweat. He almost didn't live another day.
Fortunately, he was safe and sound!
The second round soon began. This time, the vase was pointed at Christopher. Everyone was disappointed except Amos.
They all wanted the vase to point at Amos or Eudora. Why couldn't it point at them all this time? However, even if the subject of their gossip were to change to other people, gossip was still gossip! Hence, everyone began to think of a way to embarrass Christopher, especially Harley, who had already been messed with by Amos not long ago. How could he easily give up this opportunity? He asked an astonishing question.
"I heard that you dated Eudora before! So, when did you move on from her and start dating Tina?"
Before he even finished his sentence, everyone turned their heads towards Harley at the same time. In the twinkle of an eye, it felt as if he had just stirred up a hornet's nest.
Christopher and Tina would definitely not allow him to get away with it. Amos and Eudora looked ferocious too. Thea blamed him for speaking without reading the room first while Leon was gloating over the
scene.
Leon pondered, "Luckily, I tagged along and came here, or else I would have missed such an exciting show."
Christopher held Tina's belly at once and said, "Honey, don't think too much. You're the only one in my mind!"
Thea also laughed and said, "Harley, did you drink too much? How can you spout such nonsense? Christopher, you don't have to answer this question. It's okay!"
However, to her surprise, Tina shook her head.
"I want to know," she said.
Christopher couldn't stay calm anymore.
He thought in his mind, "My dear wife! Although you're carefree and not one who sticks at trifles, can't you see Amos's expression?"
Originally, they came here to persuade Eudora and Amos to reconcile, but now it seemed that they were tearing them apart.
Since Tina had already spoken, he had no choice but to brace himself and say, "Well, actually... After I came back from abroad, I..." Tension was rising while he continued speaking.
Even Tina, who always had a happy-go-lucky attitude, started to show resentment in her eyes.
Christopher was nonplussed by the situation.
He hurriedly asked for help from Harley, who mouthed something to him, but his words were inarticulate.
Three words! But Christopher couldn't comprehend it.
Then he asked, "What?"
Harley said it again with a voice slightly louder than last time. Christopher became more nervous, as he still couldn't hear it clearly. After all, he couldn't stay collected when a large group of people were staring at him.
Harley was worried for him and so he repeated.
In the end, it was Tina who told him, "He said 'make it up!""
Christopher came to his senses.
So, the words that Harley just said were "make it up"? He pondered.
He covered his face and said, "No Tina, listen to me." After that, he turned his head to look contemptuously at Harley and said, "You are too despicable! How dare you ask me to do such a thing! Absurd! How can I make things up? It's impossible for me to do such a thing!"
Harley was confused.
Immediately, Christopher patted his chest and said, "I think you all have misunderstood. I have always only treated Eudora as a very good friend all this time. So please, don't misunderstand." Harley smirked at him.
It was obvious that he was making it up in spite of his righteous declaration just now.
However, Tina's face was filled with admiration. She said, "Hubby, I knew that you're a virtuous man!"
Harley was lost for words.
He thought, "Well, sometimes it's good to have a silly wife."
