My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 987



Chapter 987

Charlie didn't say a single word. In the end, Cindy bought him a cart full of groceries.

After they paid for the groceries, Cindy's stomach let out a growl.

Charlie looked at her strangely, "Haven't you had dinner yet?"

"I'm fine!" Cindy shook her head. "There's plenty of food left in the kitchen. I'll eat when I return!"

Charlie frowned. "I've told you, I don't need your help. Forget it. What do you want to eat?"

Cindy was surprised, as if she had just heard shocking news.

Charlie looked at her. "What's the matter? Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"I...Anything will do."

Charlie was annoyed, but in the end, he said nothing and just strode forward. After a few big steps, he

turned back and looked at Cindy, who looked confused.

"Why are you still standing there? Don't you want to eat something? There's a food stall over there.

Let's go!" "Oh!" Cindy was flattered and followed hurriedly.

She couldn't hide the grin on her face.

She had fallen in love with Charlie for over a decade, and it was the first time he offered to treat her to

a meal.

It was indeed a pleasant surprise.

They had arrived at a hot dog stand. It was operated by an old couple. The old lady had a loud voice,

while the old man was just sitting there without moving.

When the lady saw Charlie and Cindy approaching, she spoke first, "Hello! What would you like to

eat?"

"I'd like to have a classic hot dog, please!" Cindy said.

The woman glanced at Charlie, "Sure! Right away!"

As Cindy had just sat down, she saw that Charlie was still standing there.

She then said, "Come on and have a seat!"

Charlie answered coldly, "No need. Just eat quickly."

After that, two hot dogs were served.

The old lady put the hot dogs down, "Enjoy!" Then, she looked at Charlie and said, "Our chairs are

quite clean. I wipe them daily. Have a seat and try our food!"

Charlie replied, "I'm not hungry!"

When Cindy noticed that Charlie was getting irritated, she said in a hurry, "It's okay, just leave them

here. I can have two!"

The old lady smiled, "Did the two of you have a quarrel? Don't be afraid, Miss. I quarrel with that old

man every day! Even so, I know that he cares a lot about me."

"Uh, we are not..." Cindy hastily waved her hand.

The old lady smiled again and said, "It's okay, it's just a small talk. You don't have to be shy."

After that, the old lady walked away.

Cindy took a big bite of her hot dog. No wonder the stall had been there for decades. The food was

amazing.

She had been used to the exquisite delicacies of Clearwater Bay, so it was good to have something

different once in a while.

Cindy was so delighted that she couldn't help but call out to Charlie again.

"It's really delicious. Try it!"

Charlie remained still.

Then, Cindy pulled on his sleeve, "Come on, I'm not going to eat you. You are a grown man. Don't be

so shy."

Charlie then sat down and took a bite of the hot Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

dog. Cindy smiled and looked at him, "How is it?"

Charlie nodded reluctantly, "Mm. It's not bad."

"Not bad? It's delicious!"

As she was enjoying her food, she noticed the old couple next to her.

The old lady was grabbing a few plates that she just washed and was about to stand up. Suddenly, she

lost balance and stumbled backwards.

The old man immediately rushed over and grabbed the plates from her hands.

"Take a look at yourself. You're already so old, so why are you carrying these things? If something

happens to you, I still have to take you to the hospital!"

The old woman stared at him, "Aren't you obligated to take me to the hospital?"

"Do you really want to go to the hospital? Do you really wish to get hurt? I've told you not to simply

move around."

As he complained, he reached his hands out to support her.

"Are you hurt? Do you feel pain anywhere? Is it here? Or is it here?"

"I'm not hurt. I'm completely fine."

"Don't lie to me. I'll go get you some ointment. Sit down and I'll give you a massage."

After that, he assisted the old lady over to a stool.

Cindy looked at them enviously and said, "This is true love, isn't it?"

Charlie put the plate down, "I've finished eating."

Cindy came to her senses and said, "I've finished eating too." Then, she took out her purse.

Charlie gave her a stern look and said, "It's on me!"

It was the first time that Charlie had taken the initiative to treat her!

"I've left the money on the table!" Charlie shouted.

The old man thanked them, "Okay, thank you!"

After Charlie and Cindy had walked away, they could still hear the old couple bickering.

Cindy looked at Charlie who was walking silently in front of her. She couldn't help but think to herself, "If

I get together with Charlie, will we be like this when we get old?"

That kind of life was indeed wonderful.

While she was thinking about it, a car whizzed past her.

Charlie pulled her back as his face was as pale as a ghost.

"Are you crazy? Why weren't you walking carefully? Were you daydreaming? Don't forget that you used

to practice fighting. Have you forgotten all about it after only a few years without practicing?"

Charlie had always been a skillful fighter.

Therefore, he had never shown any mercy when he spoke to his team members. In his opinion, Cindy

probably didn't even deserve to be part of the team!

Cindy felt a lump in her throat. She wanted to say something, but she held back.

"Okay! I understand!"

After that, she ignored Charlie and walked on her own.

When Charlie saw her reaction, he wanted to call her, but he did not.

In the night, Eudora went downstairs to pour herself a glass of water. She saw that Cindy had just

returned home. Cindy went straight into the kitchen instead of going back to her room.

As soon as Eudora entered the kitchen, she saw Cindy working busily in the kitchen.

It was already late at night, so Eudora went up to Cindy and asked her curiously, "Why are you

cleaning the table in the middle of the night? I've already cleaned it for you! You should just..."

Before Eudora could even ask her to go back to her room and rest, she saw teardrops on the table.

"What happened?" Eudora asked worriedly.

Cindy had been working for her for more than ten years! Over the years, Eudora had treated her as a

family member rather than a worker.

In Eudora's heart, Cindy was like her younger sister to her, so she was extremely concerned to see her

cry.

Cindy wiped her tears away and answered, "I'm fine."

Eudora shook her head. "You don't look fine to me. You are such a strong person, but now you're

crying. How can you be fine? You were with Charlie just now, right? Did he bully you? Let me give him

a call right now!"

Cindy was afraid that Eudora would really trouble Charlie in the middle of the night, so she stopped her.

"Mrs. Granger, please don't. I'll tell you what happened, okay?"

"Okay, tell me," Eudora nodded.

After that, Cindy told Eudora everything that had happened between her and Charlie that night.

"Actually, he's right. I've been wasting my own time all these years. It's not his fault. I'm just a little sad."

"Outrageous!" Eudora was furious. "Who said that it's your fault? How could he, as a man, say such

things? He must pay for this!"
