My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 919

During weekdays, Leslie would pick up Juju after class.

Therefore, Sugar bun would be the only one at home.

When Eudora entered the house, she noticed that Sugar Bun was not in the living room.

After she placed down the groceries she had bought, she saw Amos coming down from the stairs.

"Sugar Bun is asleep. If you are busy at night, you don't have to cook."

"No, I'm not busy," Eudora shook her head hurriedly.

Initially, she felt a bit embarrassed at the thought of having to suck up to Amos while Sugar Bun was awake.

Now that he was asleep, she could do so without needing to worry!

Yet, she completely missed the smirk on Amos' face, as though he was slowly luring a prey into his trap.

"If that's the case, let me help you!" Amos offered as he rolled up his sleeves.

However, Eudora stopped him and said, "How can I make you help me? You're already doing a lot taking care of the children at home. You don't have to help me since I don't cook often, and this meal is something I want to make for you as thanks for what you've done so far! Now that Sugar Bun is asleep, you can take this chance to do something you'd like to do."

"Didn't you like to play chess? Or watch the financial channel on television, or read some books..."

Amos could not interrupt her at all. In the end, she shoved him out of the kitchen.

This confirmed whatever he was thinking about. However, he played along with her and went to the living room to watch some television.

After Eudora sent Amos out of the kitchen, she started preparing the dishes calmly.

She made sure to make all of Amos's favorite dishes. After she had done cooking, she started plating the dishes on the table, even lighting up the candle she had bought to concoct a romantic dinner atmosphere.

"Alright, it's time to eat!"

As soon as Amos turned around, he saw a grand candlelight dinner prepared for him.

"Didn't you say that today was a normal day? Why are you being so romantic?"

"It's really nothing! Candlelight dinners are supposed to be eaten with steak and wine, but I know you don't really like steak. Hence, I replaced it with some of your favorite dishes. Do you think it's a little strange?"

Amos shook his head and smiled, "No, it's not."

"That's great. Try some salad and tell me if it's good or not."

Amos took a bite and complimented her, "It's delicious."

"What about the casserole?"

"It's pretty good."

"Try the mushroom soup too!"

"That tastes amazing!"

In short, no matter what he ate, he would tell her that it was delicious.

Eudora was hopeful about finding a chance for her to slip in her request during their conversation. However, she didn't even manage to find the right timing to do so.

After giving it some thought, she decided to change her tactics.

"Do you want a drink? I bought a bottle of your favorite wine. Let me get it for you!"

Amos nodded.

Eudora got up happily to grab the bottle of wine. She did not notice that Amos was cooperating with her very well throughout the night!

The only thing on her mind now was how she was close to succeeding!

She quickly opened the wine and poured a glass for both of them. Eudora looked at Amos and said, "Here, cheers!"

Amos took a sip, "It's good!"

Eudora also took a sip. However... it wasn't as good as she thought it was!

She bought the wine with the intention to get Amos drunk but she had forgotten that she could not handle alcohol well! She already felt a little dizzy after taking one sip. However, she couldn't retreat here! Eudora quickly flashed Amos a smile.

"Let's toast again!"

Amos handed the empty glass to her. His gaze was focused on her now blurred gaze as he smirked.

"Eudora, do you have something to tell me?"

Eudora froze. Thankfully, she was still slightly sober. She tried to cover her intentions up and shook her head, "No! Of course not!"

"Oh?" Amos continued smiling eerily, "Is that so?"

He reached out and caressed her cheek with his bony fingers.

"I don't like liars!"

His voice was deep and hoarse, tugging at one's heartstrings the minute he opened his mouth. In fact, Eudora was also entranced.

Just like that, she began to reveal everything!

Although she subconsciously knew that she couldn't say it, she couldn't stop herself from telling him aloud.

"I'm not a liar. I just... I just have something to discuss with you!"

She chose her words carefully, as though she was a child who had done something wrong. Amos's heart warmed at the sight of her. He picked her up gently and placed her on his lap.

"Go ahead!"

Eudora hesitated for a while before she asked him.

"Well... Something happened in my company and I might need to go on a business trip for a while!"

A business trip? Amos instantly felt worried. His heart tightened as he asked, "For how long?"

Since she spent so much time and effort preparing such a grand meal just to convince him to allow her to go on a business trip, it had to be for a long time! What a liar!

Eudora stretched a finger out and looked at him in a daze.

She was already tipsy. Her cheeks were flushed, making her whole face look like a bright red apple!

Amos remained calm and tried his best not to be bewitched by her expression. He answered coldly.

"A day?"

"No..." Eudora groaned and shook her head, "Guess again."

Amos frowned and asked, "One week?"

"No..." This time, Eudora smiled mischievously as she said, "Longer than that!"

He was already very unhappy if she was leaving for a week. Now, she was hinting that it would be longer than that?

"Have you forgotten about your body's condition? Previously when you caught a cold, I asked the doctor about your health. The doctor said that your body deteriorated a lot after giving birth to Sugar Bun, and your immune system is weak too! It's best if you don't simply run around to places where you aren't familiar with, or you will easily get sick!"

Eudora's brain had stopped functioning properly.

She looked at Amos in confusion and asked, "What did you say? I could not hear you clearly!"

Amos was annoyed as he sighed, "You... Anyway, I won't allow you to go! Why don't..."

He was going to suggest inviting the other party to Rosaville City instead. Even before he could finish his sentence, Eudora had pursed her lips and started crying.

"I hate you! How can you do this!"

Amos frowned and coaxed her, "Don't be stubborn. Even if you cry, I will not be softhearted!"

"I don't want you to be softhearted! I just want to go. It's my job. As I said, I want to try my best to be your equal."

Every time she brought that up, Amos was unable to say no to her.

"Fine. I'll go with you then!"

"I don't need you to go with me. They want to meet me, and I don't want to bring you with me. If you insist on going, I won't talk to you anymore!"

Amos said helplessly, "Do you really have to? You're already doing really well now..."

He originally wanted to tell her that since she already fulfilled her dreams, was it really necessary for her to work this hard?

However, these words were stuck in his throat.

Eudora had worked so hard and was already succeeding. As her husband, he should let her spread her wings and fly!

However, he was still very worried about her body condition!

Yet, she didn't want to have him follow her. Moreover, Sugar Bun was still at home, and he couldn't always follow her wherever she went.

In the end, Amos let out a resigned sigh.

"Forget it, you can go! I respect your wishes. I'll take care of the children at home and wait for your return!"
