Amos asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Eudora shook her head. "No, I just don't want to receive the award. Let's go! I'm hungry. I want to eat some delicious food!" He was smart. Even if she didn't tell him, he could still see through her emotion! He grabbed her hand. "I know what you're thinking, but do you really think that your husband is such a good-for-nothing layabout?" She was mystified. She felt that Amos was trying to say something to her. However, before she could ask, the emcee had already called her name! She froze while he held her hand and stood up. "Go! After all, you're excellent, so why wouldn't you go?" He pushed her forward, and she couldn't just shrink back at this moment, so she went up. However, she still saw a lot of disdainful faces when she stood on the stage and turned around. Those people were all staring at him with total contempt. Perhaps many men were thinking tha
Mr. Chilton flew into a rage and it just so happened that his wife interceded with the crowd for him. "That's not what you guys said just now..." He immediately vented all his anger on her by giving her a slap before sitting down angrily. She was slapped in public and all the vigor she displayed a moment ago was all gone! She couldn't remain collected any longer and hid her face in shame without saying a word. As for Amos, he had already stood up and walked towards the stage. For the previous winners of the awards, the presenters had not been so respectful. However, all the presenters on the scene gathered around him after he went up. They seemed to be obsequious to him. "Mr. Granger, please give an acceptance speech!" They were afraid that Amos didn't want to say anything, therefore the other people also badgered him into giving an acceptance speech. "Yes, Mr. Granger! I know you don't like to talk, but today we really need you to
New Year was around the corner. On New Year's Eve, Eudora noticed that it was snowing outside when she woke up in the morning. The snow got them in the mood of celebrating. Therefore, for her, the snow really came at the right time! The children liked the snow very much, just like their mother. Hence, the three of them were playing cheerfully outside their house. They only stopped once the ground in the garden was full of their footprints. Juju gave a rueful smile. "It would be great if Cola was still here! I would be able to draw some daffodils with it!" Cola was a dog raised by Eudora and Amos a long time ago, and it was very obedient. However, she was sent to someone else's home when Eudora was not feeling well during her second pregnancy. A few years had passed, and now, Cola should be older too. Thus, they didn't bring her back as they thought it would better stay there. Eudora stroked the top of Juju's head and said, "Cola should be
Humans were made in a way that they would get over their sadness if nobody asked them about it. However, if there was someone who was concerned about us, we might slump into dejection for a longer time. Juju was still a child after all. After hearing Amos' words, she couldn't help but burst into tears. "Daddy, Vincent is still so young, why did he have to die?" He let out a sigh and said, "It's my fault! If I had known his whereabouts and went to find him earlier, maybe he wouldn't have died! Then, you wouldn't have lost your friend!" "Daddy..." He swiped his daughter's hair away and allowed her tears to fall onto his legs. His daughter was still young, and there were still many things that she didn't understand yet. Parting forever with someone whom she cared about was probably the cruelest thing for her at her age. Amos didn't want to reason her with logic at the moment. To him, there was no need for his daughter to know about the
Since Eudora had stayed up all night, she slept in the next day. When she woke up, the sun was already shining through the gap of the window! The sun was out already? Eudora sat up and the door just happened to be opened by someone from outside. Just as she was about to speak, Amos spoke first and said, "Happy New Year!" Eudora suddenly came to a realization and replied, "Happy New Year!" The next second, a gift was placed in front of her eyes. "What's this?" "It's a New Year's gift! It's a reward for your hard work and for good luck!" Eudora laughed and said, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? Only kids will want a New Year's gift, so why are you giving it to me?" Amos stroked her hair and said, "To me, you'll always be my baby!" Eudora had lost her words. Her husband was sweet-talking her again! Eudora stretched out her hand and took the gift and said, "What have you prepared for me?" Amos stopped her
However, Eudora grew nervous. Even the smartest person would have a weakness and Eudora's was cards and games. She was innately not interested in playing those things hence she had never learnt to play. Hearing that she had not idea how to play, Harley instantly increased the stakes by three times. "Eudora, don't blame me for being too selfish. I'm making money for Little Pumpkin!" The 'Little Pumpkin' that Harley had mentioned was the baby in Thea's belly. Thea said that Harley had named the baby in such a way because he thought that Cutie Pie matched well with Little Pumpkin and they would be a good pair. Thus, the husband and wife had decided impetuously to name their baby as 'Little Pumpkin'. Eudora looked anxiously at Amos as she asked, "What if I lose and go bankrupt?" Amos instantly handed her a Centurion Card and said, "It doesn't matter! I still have a lot of money here." Harley couldn't stand it anymore. "Bro,
The next day, Harley and Thea got out of bed incredibly late. Truth be told, both of them had awakened already, but neither of them had tried to wake each other, so they pretended to be asleep with their backs against each other. It wasn't until they heard Cutie Pie's cries that they sat up simultaneously and realized that both of them had actually woken up. After looking at each other with embarrassment for a second, Thea went to hug Cutie Pie hastily. "Um, hubby, we are going back to the Stewart family. Do you remember that?" Harley replied, "Of course I do! How could I forget? Now that it's almost time, let's get ready!" Thea nodded and said, "Then, I'll prepare Cutie Pie's milk first." So, they both got started with their own preparations. After Thea went out, Harley rubbed his forehead gloomily. Well, it was inevitable that they have to go back to the Stewart family! ...... Meanwhile, Eudora, who was in Clearwater Bay, ha
Freya grimaced from the pain and she asked the servants around her for help. "Are you all blind? Can't you see that I'm being bullied? Come here and help me!" The servants took a look at Harley before backing away nervously. He was too terrifying. Who would dare to confront him? In the end, it was Mina who had come in from the outside to try to dissuade them. "Thea, you don't have to do this. Freya had indeed been a little discourteous just now, but I think that it would do any of us no good if somebody got hurt just as a new year started, not to mention that news of this might spread out as well. Aren't I right, Thea?" Thea snorted and said, "Oh, so you've just realized that it would do us no good? Where were you when she derided me and wanted to hit me just now, Mina?" Mina choked on her words and said, "Thea, you..." "Freya, you owe me and my mother an apology! You keep saying that I'm an illegitimate child and how shameless my mother
