He finally regained his senses when he realised her little hand had slipped into his trousers. It was as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He held the little hand that was setting fire all over his body. He stared at her, his voice husky.
"Are we getting back together?"
Eudora George was stunned. It was supposed to be something that was spurred by the heat of the moment. Now that he had interrupted her, Eudora found that she was on top of Amos, whereas her hand was on his...
She was so embarrassed that she immediately pulled her hand back, flustered.
"I... I... I'm going to take a bath."
"Don't go." Amos was still holding her. "You have not answered me. Are we getting back together?"
His voice was low and hoarse, and Eudora said "yes" in a low voice.
All of a sudden, she felt his fingers were wrapped around her wrist. The next second, the world was spinning. With a pull, Amos had pressed her onto the sofa.
Their breathings quickened. He pressed his nose against hers, and their eyes met. Eudora was nervous, and she closed her eyes subconsciously.
But after waiting for a long time, the person above her did not move. She was stunned and frowned slightly.
She could hear the man chuckling next to her ears, "Little fox."
Eudora was stunned. "No, I'm not."
"You are a little fox. You deliberately seduced me." After that, he rubbed her nose and said with a bewitching voice, "Kiss me."
Eudora opened her eyes and saw the man's shiny, deep eyes. She could see her reflection in that pair of glistening eyes.
"Kiss me, okay?" He said again, like a child begging for candy.
Subconsciously, Eudora raised her head and pecked on his lips. The next second, the man hugged her waist, lifted her up, and deepened the kiss.
Just go with the flow.
Eudora thought she must be out of her mind. Just like that, her freedom was forgotten once more...
As they were too tired the night before, Eudora and Amos slept through the morning.
When they woke up, it was already bright outside, and Harley Louis was howling at the door.
"Is anyone inside? Did you secretly run away behind my back?"
Amos frowned. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Eudora's forehead. "I'm going to beat him to death."
Eudora quickly stopped him. "Don't. It's already past ten o'clock. It's time to get up anyway."
She hurriedly got up and jumped to the bathroom. When she changed her clothes, Eudora suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach. She was slightly stunned. However, when she remembered the madness from last night, and her cheeks turned red again.
It seemed that she had to be practice more self-control in the future.
After quickly washing up, she went over and opened the door.
Harley rushed in with an enthusiastic shout. "Eudora! I still want to eat the soup you cooked yesterday."
"Okay. I'll make some later. Make yourself at home."
"No!" Amos interrupted. "Order your food somewhere else if you're hungry."
"Ow, ow, ow, ow!" Harley shrieked. "Amos had forgotten about me after having a wife."
"Hmm?" Amos raised his eyebrows at him. "What did you say?"
"Nothing!" That brow raise was enough for Harley to immediately give in. He had no choice. After all, Amos had saved him, hence he was destined to be indebted to him for the rest of his life.
Sighing, he picked up an apple on the table and took a bite. "Hey, even Eudora's apples taste more delicious than mine."
When Eudora woke up again, she found herself in the hospital. She hurriedly sat up and looked around, but she did not see Amos.
When she thought of the moment before she fainted, she felt a chill down her spine. Hurriedly, she asked the little nurse beside her, "What happened?"
When the nurse saw that she had woken up, she quickly replied, "There was an accident on the bus. Many people on the bus have been admitted to the hospital. Lucky for you, you're fine apart from a few scratches and bruises. You'll be able to leave the hospital later."
"Where is my husband?" Eudora was anxious. She remembered that it was Amos who had protected her at that time.
In that moment of anxiety, she didn't even notice herself calling him husband.
The young nurse smiled and said, "Your husband is fine. He woke up before you did. He went out to deal with something and should be back soon."
Only then did Eudora let out a sigh of relief, and her heart was at ease.
However, the nurse suddenly smiled again. "You must have a good relationship with your husband. He asked to see you as soon as he woke up as well. Ah, by the way!"
After that, the nurse took out a file from her pocket and handed it to her. "This is your examination report."
Eudora knew that she was fine, so she did not open it. "Thank you."
"Don't you want to have a look?" The little nurse was young, enthusiastic and cheerful. Hearing this, Eudora picked it up again and looked at it, only to find that there was another report below.
However, she couldn't understand the data at all, so she asked, "What's this?"
The nurse smiled and said, "Congratulations! I suppose this is a blessing in disguise. You're pregnant!"
Eudora felt her ears buzzing. Pregnant?
Everything seemed to make sense now. Over the past few days, she was always sleepy, hungry, and wanted to vomit. She thought that she just had a stomachache. But in reality, she was pregnant? Seeing that she didn't speak, the nurse thought she was shy, so she smiled and said, "If you are shy, I could help you break the news to your husband!"
Eudora shook her head and quickly took back the report. "I want to tell him personally."
