Harley thought that there was no one else inside the private room. Therefore, he lay on the sofa and looked at his mobile phone the moment he stepped into the room. His phone started ringing a short while later. He picked it up. "Yes?" It was his colleague, a young girl in her early twenties. She was good at her work, thus everyone in the team treated her like a younger sister. The connection in the private room was not very great. Hence, Harley turned on speaker mode. The sweet voice of the little girl soon came from the other end of the phone, "Harley, they told me that you went out with some girl today! Is that true? I'm so sad!" Their team members would usually joke around like this. Harley answered nonchalantly, "Don't worry. I won't forget you even if I were to go out with other girls!" Just then, footsteps could be heard from outside the door. Harley thought that someone was coming in, hence he turned off speaker mode, "Can I
The couples, who were being lovey-dovey just a moment ago, were all stunned. Thea got up quickly and rushed to the bathroom. Harley got up and instinctively thought of going after her. However, when he saw that she had gone into the female bathroom, he couldn't do anything but stand in the same spot. Eudora got up quickly and went after Thea. Harley then took a look around the room, "You're showing off too much of your affection. You have pissed her off so much that she vomited." Christopher was speechless. Amos's eyes dimmed. It seemed that he had thought of something. ...... In the bathroom, Thea felt a little better after vomiting. Eudora handed her some purified water, "Here, rinse your mouth." "Thank you," Thea took the cup. Once color returned to her cheeks, Eudora looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Are you pregnant?" Thea's face turned pale. "I... " "It's okay. It's fine if you don't want to talk a
Thea's lips shivered. She used to be a confident and tough woman in front of Harley. However, it felt as though she had lost all her confidence ever since she had this child. Because of her own mistake, she had now become inferior to others. Now, she had a child in her belly, and she didn't even know who the father of the baby was. The more she thought about it, the more tongue-tied she became. She finally answered nonchalantly after a long while, "He is very busy. He isn't as good as you are, Officer Louis." Thea soon hailed a taxi. She got into the car and left promptly. Harley watched as the taxi slowly drove away. His mind was filled with her words. Why did she still choose that b*stard over him when she clearly knew that he was the better choice? She used to be so arrogant, yet she had become like this because of that b*stard. He was so furious when he saw how yielding and soft-spoken she had become. Harley couldn't help but ki
Harley had already decided not to get involved in Thea's life anymore. However, it seemed that fate had brought them together once again. He didn't expect to see Thea when he was on his way to attend a colleague's call for assistance. He saw her being kicked just as he arrived at the door. That kick felt like a heavy hammer slamming into his heart with a bang. It was excruciating. His head was buzzing. Harley couldn't care less anymore as he rushed into the booth. Finley grabbed a fistful of Thea's hair after kicking her to the ground. All of sudden, he felt a punch on his face. He stumbled backward, head spinning. He yelled, "Who hit me?" The next second, Harley threw his police identification card at Finley, saying, "I was the one who hit you. Come and take revenge on me if you want!" After that, Harley punched and kicked him before he could even react. He didn't hold back at all. It was his colleagues who rushed into the bar in the end and h
Harley could feel his whole person falling apart from within. He finally nodded after a long while and squeezed out a single word, "Congratulations." Tears welled in Thea's eyes. She turned her head away quickly. "Sorry, I'm feeling a little tired. I'll take a rest first. I'm sorry for interrupting your work." Harley didn't have any energy left to speak with her. He turned away dejectedly and walked out of the ward slowly. Thea got up from the bed quickly after she heard the door closing. She burst into tears as she looked in the direction where Harley had left. She regretted being so impulsive back then. Perhaps things would have ended differently if she had been more straightforward and braver back then in telling her true feelings to him. ...... Eudora was worried about Thea, so she made a call to her right after arriving home. Thea did not have much else to say since Eudora already knew that she was pregnant. She assured h
Amos' eyes dimmed. He pulled her into his arms in a flash. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why wouldn't I be able to accept you?" Amos questioned. Even if the entire world could not accept her, he would be the only one who would treasure her. Furthermore, she was such an amazing woman. Why wouldn't he accept her then? Eudora looked up at him, the sparkle in her eyes fading. "I understand." "You don't understand!" Amos said, "I'm afraid that I'll hurt you." She had been pregnant more than four months and the baby bump was slowly becoming visible. He would feel anxious whenever he looked at her belly. He was afraid that she would trip and fall if she was not careful enough. He would avoid her belly subconsciously out of fear of hurting her whenever he held her in his arms at night too. It was not as though he had never seen pregnant women before. However, he could care less about other women, so he didn't put much thought into
Eudora was met with Amos' worried eyes as soon as she woke up the next morning. She could clearly tell that he had been staring at her belly, as though fearing that something terrible would happen to it. He averted his gaze hastily and caressed her forehead. "You're awake. How do you feel? Does your belly hurt?" He had gotten a little too excited the night before. Even though he had tried his best to restrain himself, he had pressed on her hand accidentally in the end. She cried out in pain, which made his heart drop. Eudora assured him that it was fine, yet he couldn't help but worry. He checked every inch of her body as soon as she fell asleep just to make sure that she was fine. He even wiped her before lying back on the bed. However, he didn't dare to sleep after lying back on the bed. For some reason, he felt as though he had committed a crime, and that she would disappear if he happened to close his eyes. Eudora rubbed her eyes. She
Wesley had always been a straightforward person. He was not afraid of offending anyone. That was why he had tactlessly said that he didn't like her when he first met Eudora. Likewise, he was telling the blatant truth this time too. Eudora's heart skipped a beat. She was sure that Amos would be furious! Even Cindy wanted to hit Wesley in the head. His words could only mean that she hadn't been making sure that Eudora finished her meal whenever Amos was not around. Cindy knew that she was doomed. President Granger would definitely put the blame on her and punish her instead of reprimanding his wife. Just as she was about to think of a way to explain herself, Amos had already spoken up, "Fine. You may excuse yourself." After that, he carried Eudora in his arms and made his way upstairs. He put her down on the bed and looked at her the way he did in the morning. Eudora pouted and apologized, "Amos, I was wrong! I'll eat well from now on
