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
Freya was completely confused. She had always thought that she had married well. She had looked down on Thea for marrying a nobody, but she had not expected Harley to be a police officer. How could she admit defeat? "Isn't he just a policeman? What's so great about him? What are you afraid of, honey?" Hearing that, Heinz slapped her again. "Are you crazy? I've already told you that he is a sergeant. How can an ordinary policeman be compared to him? Are you going to apologize or not? If you don't, I'll divorce you!" Freya clenched her teeth unwillingly and finally compromised. She had no qualms about her father abandoning her, but she could not afford to be abandoned by her husband. She had put in a lot of effort in order to marry him. She would not let him go so easily! "I'm sorry!" Harley did not care about her apology at all. He wrapped his clothes around Thea, who stood behind him. and said, "Let's go!" Heinz hurriedly caug
Eudora wanted to take a look around at the women's clothing once she had finished her sentence. However, upon seeing her, Amos stopped her. "What do you think of this suit?" Eudora walked over to Amos to take a look and said, "Not bad! Why don't you give it a try?" Amos nodded and all he could think about was the conversation he had with Aldred in the morning. Aldred said that after a couple had been together for a long time, the spark between their bodies and feelings would fizzle out. However, visual improvements on a person could still be made. By occasionally changing one's appearance, their spouse would see them in a completely different light. Amos entered the fitting room contentedly. Then, he pondered for a while before opening the fitting room's door and posing. "How do I look?" Eudora glanced at him and said, "Not bad! You look good! Hubby, look at the new clothes I bought for Sugar Bun and Juju. Aren't they cute?" Amos wa
Eudora's heartbeat echoed in his ears. Her heartbeat was rapid and full of life. Eudora asked again, "Do you still dare to say that it's not skipping a beat?" In the next instant, Amos raised his head and kissed her again. "Let's make it beat a little more rapidly then!" ...... Downstairs, in the living room. Upon coming out, Gordon saw the two children playing. He walked over and stroked Juju's head. He asked, "Where are your parents?" Juju immediately gave Gordon a sweet smile. "Grandpa, I'm grateful that you told me that they were quarreling. Sugar Bun and I helped them though. Currently, they should be making up with each other." Gordon was incredibly satisfied and said, "That's good! Whenever they quarrel again in the future, you and Sugar Bun have to help them!" Juju looked troubled and said, "But Grandpa, Dad looked strange when he got angry. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tell when he gets angry again in
Gordon kept his thoughts to himself and smiled at Eudora. "I'm sorry, Eudora! I'm not suited to be a good father. After your mother's death, I didn't even send you to your biological father in time, therefore you had to follow me and suffer a great deal!" "It's okay! I don't blame you at all!" Eudora shook her head. "That's nice!" Gordon laughed. He continued to speak, "I feel sorry towards Kesha as well! I wasn't a good father towards her as I didn't educate her well. If I have another chance in the next life, I wouldn't want to become your father anymore, alright? I'll give that chance up to your father so that the both of you can cultivate your father-daughter relationship once again. As for me, I want to make sure Kesha receives a good education, okay?" "Alright! I'll go along with anything you want!" Eudora nodded, tears sliding down the corners of her eyes. "Don't talk anymore. The doctor will be here soon. You'll be alright! Juju and Sugar Bun still
When they were about to leave, a doctor caught up with them and handed Eudora a USB flash drive. The doctor said, "Miss Eudora, this was entrusted to us by Mr. Gordon. He told us to hand it over to you when he passed away. I'm sorry for your loss!" Eudora held the USB flash drive tightly in her hand. She waved at the doctor and said with a smile, "Thank you, doctor." The doctor frowned and left with a sigh. After the doctor left, Eudora got into the car with Amos. "You should sleep for a while first. We'll be home soon!" Amos suggested. Eudora shook her head, her face full of smiles as if she was extremely happy. "Amos, Dad can finally do what he likes up there, right?" Amos hummed in agreement, but then frowned and said, "If you feel sad, you don't have to force a smile!" Eudora was taken aback for a moment before shaking her head with a smile. She said, "No, I'm not forcing myself to smile. I genuinely feel happy for Dad!" A
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
