Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Same as Before

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 her that she was fine, and Eudora finally hung up the call reluctantly.

She lay down on the bed after hanging up the call. She muttered, “Harley really is pitiful. He might look like a playboy on the outside, but he feels miserable on the inside, doesn’t he?”

Amos brought a piece of sliced fruit to her lips.

“Is that so?”

Eudora rolled her eyes at him and answered, “You don’t understand…”

Amos had become an expert in making her eat fruits. He seemed to have sliced fruits prepared at any time of the day. He would then send pieces of them into her mouth from time to time.

Eudora found another comfortable spot to lie down after swallowing the fruit reluctantly.

“I don’t know what Thea is thinking about. I don’t think that she is in a good condition right now. That man probably isn’t treating her well!”

Amos listened to her silently as he massaged her calves. He had developed the habit of massaging her calves every day ever since her legs became swollen the other time. He frowned when he noticed just how worried she was, “They are all adults. It’s only natural that both of them have their own ways of thinking.”

Eudora refused to give in, “Thea is my friend and I empathize with her. She reminded me of when I was in Italy back then.”

Amos was stunned, “Has your memory come back?”

Eudora nodded. “Mm, I remember a little.”

She seemed to have recalled a lot of her memories ever since Amos’ abrupt confession that day. In fact, it was because of those memories that she realized just how dear he was to her.

She took a glance at him, who was still massaging her legs diligently. They had been together so many years, but he still treated her the same as before.

She truly was the blessed person in the world!

Eudora reached out to hold his arm, “I feel much better now. Thank you.”

He responded without his hands pausing, “Just a few more minutes.” It was a full set of techniques that was said to reduce edema during pregnancy. He had specially learned this from the professionals, so he couldn’t just stop halfway.

However, Eudora didn’t want to trouble him any further.

She deliberately turned around and placed her legs at the head of the bed to prevent Amos from reaching to her calves. Her smiling face appeared under his shadow.

Amos sighed helplessly, “Stop messing around.”

“Who is?” Eudora grabbed his hand.

“You’ve been so busy since you came back. Look at you, you don’t look like the President of a company at all right now. If this gets out to the public, wouldn’t they say that I’m bullying you?”

Amos’ face turned grim, “Who would dare to?”

“I would! Aren’t you afraid that you’ll become undignified and I wouldn’t like you anymore because of that?” Eudora answered playfully.

Amos frowned slightly.

“Which part of me do you like best?”

He said the words in a hurry, so his voice was a little muffled and there was even a hint of nervousness in his tone. His serious look made her heart ache and her eyes welled up all of a sudden.

She had been a little emotional ever since she had gotten pregnant, especially now that her memories were returning slowly. She remembered some events in the past, and her personality began to change gradually.

In an instant, Amos hugged her close to his chest.

“Don’t cry…”

He was afraid that she would tear up, for he knew that he would be at a loss once she cries. He loved her so much that he would pick the stars in the sky for her if she ever wanted them.

Eudora sniffled, “It’s all your fault. It seems that you’ll only happy once I get upset.”

“Yeah, it’s all my fault,” Amos apologized sincerely. “Hit me all you want if you’re feeling upset, but please don’t cry. It wouldn’t be good if our little princess becomes a little crybaby in the future, right?”

More tears welled up in her eyes, “Why are you so good to me? Which part of me deserves your kindness?”

The more she remembered about the past, the more she couldn’t understand what Amos had fancied about her.

She didn’t have any other positive traits apart from being slightly more good-looking. Furthermore, a man like Amos would have seen all kinds of beautiful women. What other qualities did she have then?

She wasn’t bright enough to be called smart. She was ill-tempered and stubborn. Moreover, she was already…

Eudora’s tears began to fall.

Amos felt his heart tighten. He lowered his head hastily and kissed away the tears on her cheeks.

He held her puffy cheeks in his huge palms and murmured, “I like everything about you. Your stubbornness, your determination in life, and your cuteness. In my eyes, you’re perfect, I…”

Eudora had already raised her head and kissed him before Amos could finish his words. She didn’t know how to repay his kindness, hence she repaid him in the simplest way.

The sudden kiss stunned Amos.

Eudora seemed traumatized ever since that last incident and it had been a long while they were ever intimate. Therefore, he got used to only holding her in his arms every day, not daring to take half a step beyond her limit.

Nevertheless, it did take him a lot of effort to attain such strong willpower. He was a young and hot-blooded man, it was only natural that he would harbor such thoughts occasionally, especially since he lived with Eudora every single day. When his thoughts became a little more difficult to suppress, all he could do was to take a cold shower to ease his nerves.

His mind was buzzing because Eudora had taken the initiative to kiss him first. At that moment, he didn’t know how to react.

He could feel the desire brewing in his body and he pushed her away hurriedly.

“No, Eudora,”

He could feel his self-restraint crumbling before her. He feared that he would lose control of his own will if she did as much as touching him gently.

Therefore, he was hesitant.

Eudora retreated, visibly hurt by his words. She curled herself up in the corner of the bed.

“Oh, I’m sorry,”

Amos’ heart ached, “Eudora…”

“I’m fine…” Eudora shook her head and tried her best to force a smile. However, anyone could tell that she was hurt, “I understand. You probably still couldn’t accept me for the time being. I’ll wait.”

Did this woman really think that he was not able to accept her?
