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
Even though her memories had yet to completely recover, Eudora was still a woman. She could still tell when someone was trying to seduce her man. This was especially since Kesha was known to be a flirt. She used to ignore them all the time, but she had become so hospitable and courteous all of a sudden. Something was definitely off. Eudora frowned and looked at Kesha. Kesha raised her brow and glanced at Eudora with provocation. She was not even trying to hide her intentions. Was she declaring war on her? At this moment, Kesha spoke again, "Come on, Eudora, have a try too. We'll get to see who brews a better pot of tea then." Eudora looked at the teacup without saying a word. The next second, Amos pushed his cup and Eudora's away. "I'm not thirsty." Kesha was stunned. She couldn't believe that Amos would refuse her kind gesture even after she had worked it for the whole day. She was indignant. However, she couldn't possibly give up,
Felicia would naturally side with her own daughter, so she took a bite of Kesha's dishes hurriedly. "Not bad! Kesha, your cooking skills have improved once again!" She then scooped up some mashed potatoes on Gordon's plate. Even though he had forgotten many things, he would still have his meal in a timely manner. He had always been a picky eater because Eudora's mother loved to cook. He would always complain whenever the dishes were not up to his standards. He tasted the mashed potatoes that Felicia had scooped onto his plate. He nodded in approval, "It's delicious!" Felicia smiled, and her eyes were filled with delight, "Kesha, do you hear that? Your father complimented you!" She was thrilled that her husband was praising her child. Kesha, however, seemed unfazed. Nevertheless, Felicia's and Gordon's compliments seemed to have increased her confidence even more. She turned towards Eudora and Amos, "Why don't you two try it as well?" She then p
Felicia gawked at Kesha in astonishment. She had no clue that her own daughter would harbor such thoughts. "Kesha, don't be silly! Since Amos doesn't fancy you, it's impossible even if you try. It's better for you to just get along with Steven instead. Steven isn't so bad, is he?" "What do you know, Mom? Steven may seem fine at first glance, when in fact, he's just an ignorant fool. Moreover, he's selfish. I'm the one who has to resolve his mistakes whenever he messes up, and he'll just blame me if I didn't handle it well. I've had enough of him! Mom, I'm your flesh and blood. Are you really willing to see Eudora enjoy all the best in life while your own daughter continues living a miserable life?" "But..." For a moment, Felicia didn't know what to do. "But Amos doesn't fancy you!" Kesha smirked and sat down at her dressing table. "Mom, do you think that I'm attractive?" "Of course you are!" Felicia replied. Both his daughters had inherited his
Kesha just couldn't stand to see Eudora being doted on by Amos. There was a hint of jealousy in her tone. Eudora had long seen through her. Although she didn't understand why she had started to change her target again especially since she was already in a relationship with Steven, she knew in her heart that she shouldn't underestimate Kesha. Eudora sighed faintly before answering her, "You're right, Kesha. I don't think that it's good to let him work for me like this too, but since my hubby insists on doing this for me, what could I do then?" She was blatantly showing off. Kesha almost choked in fury. Felicia tried to smooth things over between them, "That's enough, Kesha. Let's start the match." Kesha then picked up the kite and started to fly it. Even though she looked fine on the outside, she was chastising Eudora in her heart over and over again. She swore that she would prove to Eudora that she was a hundred times better than her sooner or
