Eudora, who was beside them, could only gawk in disbelief. Were her ears deceiving her? Harley said Cutie Pie was his and Thea's son. But didn't he deny it before? Amos suddenly smiled and reached out to hold Eudora's hand. He chuckled, "Let's go. Didn't you mention you wanted to get food?" When they went outside, Eudora couldn't help but gossip. "What's going on? Didn't they say that the child belonged to someone else?" Amos poked her forehead jokingly and explained, "This was an odd coincidence. I suddenly remembered there was a time when Harley had been in a dilemma. Now, I think they might have had it wrong all along." Eudora's eyes lit up. "Are you saying referring to the night where Thea and Harley mistakenly slept with someone else, only to find out now that they had slept with each other?" Amos nodded and said with a teasing tone. "My wife is getting smarter!" Eudora rolled her eyes at him and smirked, "I've always be
Nonetheless, Tina didn't forget to send her menu after her previous message. "Eudora, I want to have your cooking!" Seeing that, Eudora got up and began to put on her clothes. Amos stretched out his hand and pulled her back. "Where are you off to?" She pushed him away and said, "You still had the audacity to ask me. Did you reprimand my sister earlier? It's normal for a pregnant lady like her to have cravings. How could you reprimand her?" He furrowed his brow and said, "Even if she was craving food, she was tiring my wife out. Why can't I reprimand her?" Eudora was stunned for a moment, and then she was touched by what he said. She lowered her head and smiled at him. "I'm not tired!" He pulled her back and said, "Are you really not tired?" "I'm really not tired! I had a good nap earlier. I want to go down and have a look!" The next second, he pressed her onto the bed. "Since you're not tired, then we can do
In fact, Amos had already arrived at the doorway. Hearing her bossy and imperious voice from inside, his lips couldn't help but form a curve. He knew everything. He knew what she wanted to hear from him. She wanted no other than him changing his mind and saying that he would let her have a baby. However, he really couldn't compromise on the matter. Come to think of it, he squatted down again and whispered to Sugar Bun. "Your mommy is angry, so after you go in, try to be more enthusiastic to her, and by all means persuade her to go back, okay?" Sugar Bun nodded and said, "Okay!" As reliable as he was, he rushed towards Eudora as soon as the door was opened. "Mommy, I miss you so much!" Eudora reached out to hug her son. Sugar Bun had always developed much faster than that of an ordinary child. Many children of the same age might not be able to enunciate clearly yet. However, he was already speaking clearly and loudly! After bei
At the dining table, Harley gazed around and noticed that the atmosphere between Eudora and Amos was indeed a bit weird. Therefore, he made a suggestion. "How rare it is for us to gather together so why don't we play a game before we start eating?" "Okay!" Thea said while looking affectionately at him. Since the day they had reconciled, they seemed to be in love all over again. Even her depression was spontaneously healed! If it wasn't for the fact that Cutie Pie was sick, the three of them would be on cloud nine already. Fortunately, his health had taken a favorable turn. From time to time, he could leave the house to play. It couldn't get any better. Christopher agreed and said, "I have no problem with that." Tina was the only one salivating at the beef wellington. She asked, "Can I have a bite first?" Christopher broke into laughter. He grabbed a piece of the dish, placed it onto her plate, and said tenderly, "You can have it!"
In the third round, the vase finally pointed at Amos. It worked as everybody wished. They couldn't help but smile at each other, and asked what they had been deliberating for two days. "We want to know the reason behind your quarrel with each other!" Eudora paused for a second before she looked, perplexed, at Amos. However, he was composed and said, "You all have been mistaken. We've never quarreled!" Harley couldn't put up with him any longer. He said, "Amos, we can tell that you're lying by looking at Eudora's eyes! Besides, we heard from Clint that she's not going to work! You could have made up a more convincing lie!" After he said that, Amos looked disdainfully at him. Harley promptly shut his mouth. Eudora was a bit discouraged. At first, she thought she would be able to get some information out of him, but in the end, he wasn't willing to say anything either. Without hesitation, she got up and went straight to her room. Thea
The two of them had gone through so much. Eudora had always thought that they were already a part of each other. Whatever problems she faced, she would tell him. However, he still had something to hide from her. Not to mention, he knew that she was angry, but he still refused to say it! That was the main thing that made her angry! "Well, it was hard to tell you..." He said in a low voice. She was a little depressed. She replied, "Why is it that hard? Aren't you worried about me? You can just tell me candidly, I'm not an unreasonable person. When have I ever been unreasonable?" Amos held his forehead and said, "Now..." "Huh? What did you say?" "No! You are a reasonable person! It's my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you!" She lowered her head and snorted, then reached out to caress his face. "Did you really cry?" He was speechless. He knew that once Leon told them, Eudora would definitely know that he cried, bu
In the evening, Eudora nestled in Amos' arms and muttered with some complaints. "Please don't do it again. Do you think that I'm such an unreasonable person? As long as you tell me, I think I would have no objection!" He helplessly stroked her back. "Okay, I got it!" In fact, he wanted to tell her that men always liked to appear manly and reliable in front of their wives, therefore who would voluntarily bring up such embarrassment by themself. When he was thinking, she raised her head and looked at him with her two bright eyes. "If you encounter something that'll hurt your dignity if you tell me about it directly, just switch the main character in your story to Harley. Then, I'll understand, alright?" He was amazed. It turned out that she understood everything. No wonder she was his woman. It was heart-warming for him and he nodded. "That's a good idea!" Harley, who had been working hard trying for a baby with Thea at ho
Eudora placed her hand on her forehead. Just as she was about to put down her phone, it rang. As soon as she answered it, Harley yelled on the other side, "Eudora, Thea is pregnant!" That was not a surprise at all. "I get it!" "How do you know that?" He asked. She was speechless. "It's written on every corner of your social media accounts and messaging apps!" After he came to his senses, he said, "Oh... Probably! Eudora, come over for dinner tomorrow. Let's celebrate! I'll make a phone call to Amos..." She was about to tell him that he didn't have to call him, but he had already hung up. On second thought, she felt that it would be better to just let him do what he wanted. After all, he was so elated at the moment. Hence, she turned off her cell phone and went to take a nap. When she came home in the evening, she discovered that Harley was also in the house. As soon as she stepped in, she could hear his voice, "Bro
Naomi immediately changed the topic by saying, "I'm going to the meeting." As they spoke, her phone rang again. The secretary took a look and said, "It's from Mr. Olsen." Naomi said, "I'm late to the meeting! I'll talk to him after the meeting!" The meeting lasted for a few hours. After a few hours, Naomi stood tiredly in front of the sink. She looked more mature than she did before. She was indeed no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She remembered that before she went to the meeting, the secretary had mentioned that there was a message from Culver. She took out her phone and clicked on the message. The next second, her hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground. ...... When Naomi arrived at the funeral home, Culver was already waiting for her at the entrance. "When did it happen?" Naomi tried hard to hold back her emotions along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, her emotions flowed out. "Last ni
Although Naomi and Eddison were reluctant, they submitted under Amos' domineering aura. The next day, they packed up their things and went back to Rosaville City. As soon as the car was about to turn, it was stopped by Amos. "Go straight to the Granger Mansion." Eddison asked curiously, "Why are we going there?" "You're going to take over the Granger family's business, that's why!" Naomi teased. Before Naomi could finish gloating, Amos teased her, "You too." The two siblings' faces instantly stiffened, as though they were forced to resign to fate. Indeed, the first thing they did after they returned to the mansion was to ask Alfred to clean up the two master bedrooms for Naomi and Eddison. Although the two rooms were master bedrooms, they weren't totally identical. Alfred gave the better room to Eddison. Before they entered the house, Alfred noticed that Naomi seemed to be rebelling. After thinking about it, Alfred explained t
After coaxing Eudora for a while, Naomi managed to persuade her to eat a few mouthfuls of food. She was finally much calmer. However, it could be seen with the naked eye that she had lost some weight. Naomi was incredibly worried. While Eudora was on a walk with Eddison, she sat in front of Amos's bed. She said, "Dad, hurry up and wake up! Mom misses you so much that she's about to fall sick! Are you really willing to let her go on like that?" Naomi sniffed, "Mom was so beautiful when she was young. She looks really pretty now, too. If you don't wake up soon, I'll find someone else for her! When that time comes, don't regret it!" There was still no movement from the person on the bed. Naomi sighed in disappointment. When she turned around, a hand suddenly grabbed her sleeve. Naomi's heart skipped a beat of joy. When she turned around, she saw Amos staring at her. He yelled, "Don't you dare!" "Dad, you're awake!" Naomi was incredibly
"Mom, don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Naomi comforted her. Eudora hurriedly shook her head again, "What are you talking about? Of course, Amos will be fine. He's just angry with me! Where's my medicine? If you don't help me take it, I'll take it myself!" As she said, she got up from her seat. Naomi stopped her again and said, "I'll get it for you! Just wait here!" Eudora sat down obediently and reached out to hold Amos' hand. Naomi took a few steps outside and heard Eudora murmuring to Amos behind her. "Did you hear that? I'm being a good girl. Hurry up and wake up!" Naomi's nose twitched for no reason. She hurriedly restrained herself and quickly walked out. Her parents had been in love with each other for their whole lives. She had witnessed their journey since she was young. Eddison might not know about their history too well as he was really young back then. She remembered the time when there had been a great misunderstanding be
Amos hung up on the call and picked up the medicine that Eudora had not taken just then. He poured a glass of water and walked over to Eudora. "You haven't finished the medicine yet!" Eudora looked at the medicine in distress, pleading, "I think my body is much better now. I don't need to take it!" "That won't do," Amos remained strong-willed as always. "This medicine is good for your health!" "Medicines are drugs too!" Eudora was still putting on a fight. "You want to poison me to death, don't you?" Amos said helplessly, "Are you afraid of drugs, or do you want to suffer instead?" Eudora was rendered speechless. "Either way, I won't take it! It's too big of a pill to swallow. I know you're trying to poison me to death, so that you can find yourself a younger wife!" Amos was dumbfounded. "There are no younger girls who are more beautiful than you." "That's true!" Eudora nodded, and immediately looked into Amos's smiling
The Granger Mansion had been well taken care of, so there was nothing for Naomi to worry about. Hence, she decided to go straight back to Clearwater Bay. Amos and Eudora were not around. Although Clearwater Bay was in Cindy's care, it still felt desolate. In the evening, Cindy prepared a lot of delicious food for Naomi! "Your parents don't know that you're back in Rosaville City, right?" "No, they don't!" Naomi said after taking a sip of the mushroom soup. "Mom is in poor health, therefore I haven't told her yet. I'll go see her once I'm done with the matters here." "That's great! She must miss you and Sugar Bun." "What about you?" Naomi looked at Cindy with a smile. "Is everything alright between you and Uncle Charlie?" "Everything is fine! With everyone supervising him, he doesn't dare treat me badly!" As the two of them talked, Charlie protested from the outside. "Are you talking behind my back again with Miss Naomi?" Charl
It was only then that Culver remembered that Naomi was also in the kitchen. He concealed the panic on his face and pretended to be calm as he picked up the salmon next to him and put it on the pan. The next second, hot oil splashed out of the pan. Naomi pulled him away, "Mr. Olsen, don't act like you know how to cook!" Culver was not willing to give up. When he heard her words, he remained calm. "I can do this." "Stop lying!" Naomi exposed him without mercy. Then, she picked up the spatula next to her and flipped the salmon over. Culver stood behind her, watching her pour her heart and soul into cooking. It reminded him of the time she used to live in his house in Greene City. During that time, she had cooked all kinds of food for him every day. However, he had never actually seen her in action. It turned out she was still pretty as ever when she cooked. "Hand me the sauce!" It was not until Naomi called him
The doctor's face was solemn, "If it fails, he will only have two months to live!" Naomi fell silent. She finally understood why Nelson refused to undergo the surgery! "Miss George, you see..." "Are there not any other solutions, or at least something with a higher success rate?" Wasn't five percent too low of a success rate? It would be as if they were sending Nelson to death's door. The doctor shook his head, "It's not that we don't want to do something to help the patient. It's our wish for every patient to recover and live a healthy life, but Mr. Luther is in critical condition. We've really done our best! Moreover, his condition is deteriorating very quickly every day. It's possible that the success rate will lessen tomorrow! Therefore, we have to make a decision as soon as possible!" Naomi started to panic a bit. "Please let me think about it." She felt like an executioner at the moment. Her decision was the key to Nelson's su
"I don't like her anymore! If you want me to go back to the Olsen Group, please stop bugging me with your words!" After saying that, Culver made a call to Aaron. "Mobilize the tracking device that I asked you to create for Nelson, and find out where he has gone! " "Yes, Sir!" After getting a reply from Aaron, Culver made another phone call to the company. "Call the press and make an appointment for a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll explain everything about this matter!" "For the stock market, just follow my orders." Marilyn looked at Culver, composed as ever, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Although he was the same person he had always been, it had been sometime since she felt this way. He had returned to his former self. ...... Nelson sat on the railing along the river as he stared at the surface of the water in a daze. He did not even turn his head when he heard footsteps behind him
