Chapter 154: Chapter 154 A Child Needs His Father

Eudora had just gotten off work. Just as she was about to drive home, she heard a loud sound.

She was shocked and hurriedly got down the car to take a look, only to find that the rear tires were punctured. She was in the middle of nowhere, so she called the staff from the repair shop to tow the car away.

It was already late by the time she was done with everything. She decided to take the bus instead.

It was rush hour so there were many passengers on the bus. Eudora squeezed in and found an empty space near the back door.

As soon as she stood still, another group of people rushed in.

She quickly held on to the railing and stood firm. She was used to taking the bus home when she was still with the George and Meyer Family.

She stopped taking the bus after she got together with Amos. It had only been a few months but she had become unaccustomed to it. Habits were really a powerful thing.

Just as she was thinking about it, a little person suddenly appeared in front of her.

Then she heard a sweet voice, “Mommy, come here. We can stand here.”

Soon, a woman squeezed in from the direction of the door with a few bags of groceries in her hand.

When Eudora looked at them, she heard the sweet voice again, “Auntie, is it alright if we put the things here?”

Eudora was stunned, only to realize that the child was talking to her. She looked up and met a pair of round, bright eyes.

Her heart softened, she smiled and said, “Of course.”

The child’s mother was a little embarrassed. “My bags are a little wet, it might stain your clothes.”

“It’s fine!” Eudora shook her head.

Only then did the woman assuredly put down her things. She then stood behind the child and wrapped him around her arms.

After a while, the woman whispered, “What did you learn at school today?”

The child quickly said, “I learned a poem today.”

“Do you know how to recite it?”

“Yes!” The child began to recite the poem softly. “Baa, baa, black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, Three bags full…”

The woman smiled happily. She lowered her head and kissed the child’s face.

“That’s great. You recited it well.”

The child blushed after being praised. Even his dimples were visible. He looked just like his mother.

Eudora touched her lower abdomen subconsciously. It was the first time that she had imagined how the child would look like if she decided to keep the baby.

If the child was a girl, her eyes should look like hers. Her eyes were beautiful. As for her mouth…

It’d better not be like hers. Her mouth did not look good. Amos’ looked way better…

Thinking of this, she was stunned. Why did she suddenly think of Amos?

While she was thinking, the woman suddenly smiled. “Miss, you are pregnant, aren’t you?”

Eudora looked at her, half in awe. How did she figure it out?

The woman immediately added, “I knew it the moment I saw your movements. Pregnant women like to touch their stomachs. After all, there is a baby in there.”

Eudora was embarrassed and she quickly withdrew her hand. She said in a low voice, “It’s a little over three months.”

The woman exclaimed, “Three months? I could not tell at all, you are too thin. You should have a good appetite now, so you should eat more. Only then would the child be able to grow healthily.”

Eudora listened to her devoutly, and she couldn’t wait to find a notebook and write it down. She took out her mobile phone instead and listed them down.

Seeing her eagerness, the woman smiled.

“The child is not only just yours, so it can’t depend on you alone. Prenatal education is very important. If the child’s father could spend time talking to the child, it would help him bond with the child too.”

The child’s father…

She was left in a trance. If Amos found out about the child, he would be happy, wouldn’t he?

The woman sighed again. “My child has lost his father since birth. He is too independent now. Sometimes I wished he weren’t that independent. He is just a child after all!”

When she got off the bus, Eudora’s mind was still filled with that woman’s words.

“A child without a father is pitiful. You must think twice!”

As she was thinking about it, the phone suddenly rang. Eudora picked it up and saw that it was Amos calling.

As soon as the phone was connected, Amos asked anxiously, “Where are you? What’s wrong with the car?”

It was only then that Eudora remembered that after her accident last time, Amos had installed a GPS system in her car. Therefore, he knew that her car was sent to the repair shop.

Seeing that she did not speak, his voice became more anxious.

“Eudora, what’s wrong?”

Eudora felt a surge of warmth in her heart and smiled. “I’m fine. The car tire went flat, so I sent it for repairs. I took the bus home. I just reached the gate of our house.”

Amos breathed a sigh of relief, but he muttered in a low voice, “The quality of a low-end car is not really that good after all. I’ll get Clint to change a car for you tomorrow!”

Eudora was speechless. “That car is not low-end at all. Besides, what does a flat tire has to do with its quality? It’s good enough for me, there’s no need to change it.”

Amos agreed and added, “If you have any other issues next time, call me or Clint. Don’t take the bus!”

“Oh!” Eudora responded and blurted out. “When will you be home?”

“Very soon. I’m already on my way.” With this, he laughed again. “Miss me?”

Eudora blushed. She was still outside. She said hurriedly, “You’ll know when you come back!”

That woman was right. She should tell Amos about the child. Moreover, she felt that Amos would definitely be able to be a good father.

Thinking of this, Eudora quickly got into the house.

She let Auntie Valerie get off work early and started preparing the ingredients for the grilled steaks. The atmosphere should be a little better for such a happy occasion.

While she was waiting for the steak to be marinated, she took out flowers and candles.

She arranged the decorations for the table. Amos came home just as she was putting the finishing touches on the setup.

Looking at the lighted candlesticks, Amos’ heart thumped wildly. He hurriedly came forward and wrapped his arms around Eudora’s waist. “Why are you so happy today? Did something good happen?”

Eudora pursed her lips into a smile. “It might be a bad thing too, no?”

Amos frowned, and in a blink of an eye, he saw her smile. He hurriedly lowered his head, bit her earlobe gently and whispered into her ear. “Little liar.”

He knew her sensitive spots well. Eudora was ticklish, so she couldn’t stand still at all. She quickly pushed him away.

“Stop messing around here. I’m in the midst of grilling the steaks.”

Amos was a little caught off-guard and he let go of her. “Then I’ll wait for you outside.”

He lowered his head and kissed her collarbone before he left.

Eudora held her breath and watched him walk out. Then she reached out to touch her lower abdomen and continued cooking.
