He attempted to get up again after that. However, Thea was already walking towards him with Cutie Pie in her arms.
âAre you silly? Why didnât you say that your legs were numb?â
Harley shook his head and shrugged, âI didnât say it because I wanted to hold you in my arms for as long as I possibly can!â
Cutie Pie looked at Harley, then at Thea. He giggled happily.
Harley noticed that Theaâs mood seemed to be better. Thus, he took advantage of the situation.
âThea, letâs not get divorced, okay?â
Thea rolled her eyes at him and pouted, âWhat nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?â
Harley covered his mouth and shot a look at Cutie Pie.
Thea soon agreed, âI promise you. But I still have to find him! I will not give up on Cutie Pie!â
Harley nodded and said, âOkay! Iâll accompany you! We can just conceive artificiallyâ¦Â Itâs just another child. Iâll be able to take care of them!â
Thea immediately felt guilty again and refused, âNo, I canât let you raise another child. Itâs unfair for you⦠Iâ¦â
âWhat do you mean by unfair? If this is your child, then itâs my child too!â
After that, Harley reached out and pulled Thea into his arms.
âBoth of you are precious to me!â
Cutie Pie beamed, âDad, itâs embarrassingâ¦â

When Amos returned home the night before, Eudora had already fallen asleep. Therefore, when she woke up the next morning, she wanted to know what had happened the night before.
âWhat happened to Harley? Did he get drunk in the middle of the night? What happened later? How did you deal with him?â
As she spoke, she grabbed a piece of pancake right from the stove and popped it into her mouth.
âOw, hot, thatâs so hot!â
Amos walked over helplessly and took away the pancake. He wiped her hands with a towel before passing her a plate.
âPut it here so it can cool down before eating it.â
Cindy, who was standing aside, was amazed. Amos had transformed into the ideal househusband!
However, Eudora didnât look surprised at all. This meant that she was already used to being taken care of by Amos.
Cindy was envious!
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Amos spoke again.
âTheyâre the only ones who can solve this. I sent him to the hospital and came back!â
Eudora immediately widened her eyes and gasped, âArenât you afraid that theyâll fight in the middle of the night?â
âItâs impossible!â Amos laughed, âHarley was already dead drunk. Even if they got into a fight, he would be the loser for sure. Itâll be fine, donât worry! He has tough bones!â
Eudora nodded and laughed, âThatâs true.â
After they finished speaking, she had already finished eating a piece of pancake. She had a satisfied look on her face as she smacked her lips in delight, âItâs delicious!â
Amos took another piece for her and offered, âHave another one!â
Eudora shook her head, âNo, I donât want to eat anymore! Iâve gained quite a few pounds recently. Iâm going on a diet!â
Amos frowned, âNo, youâre not plump. Who said so?â
Eudora pinched the flesh on her cheeks and complained, âJust look! My face has gotten much plumper! No, stop tempting me. Otherwise, Iâll ignore you!â
Amos chose to stay silent. He quickly called Cindy since she was outside.
âHave some. Thereâre extras!â
After all, Amos learned to cook from Uriah Fisher. The pancakes he made were delicious. Cindy had been waiting for this moment. Now that he was asking her to try it, she was delighted.
She marched up and grabbed a piece of pancake. She thanked him loudly.
Just when she was about to head off, Amos suddenly asked her, âCindy, whatâs your weight?â
Cindy was stunned. It was unpleasant to ask a woman about her weight. However, there was nothing she could do. This was Amos Granger she was talking about. He even made something for her to eat, so she had no choice but to answer him.
She said frankly, âIâm 52 kilograms!â
Amos nodded and said, âOkay, you can leave now!â
With that, Cindy walked away happily. As she left, she grabbed another piece of pancake and popped it into her mouth.
âItâs soâ¦â Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Amos talking to Eudora.
âLook at Cindy, she doesnât look fat at all!â
Cindy was stunned. Was Amos praising her? Wasnât it inappropriate to do so? However, all women enjoyed being praised.
Cindy could not help but stare at her own figure. She was rejoicing when she heard Amosâ voice again.
âYouâre only 45 kilograms. Youâre much thinner than her. Itâs fine. You can eat more!â
Eudora thought about it for a moment and finally agreed, âAlright, Iâll eat a few more pieces!â
Cindy was utterly flabbergasted.
The pancake in her mouth didnât taste as good as it was a while ago. How could President Granger do this to her? Even if he wanted to make his wife eat more, he didnât have to use her like this.
She sniffled.
As she was lost in thought, Harley barged in.
âAmos? Eudora?â
When Cindy was about to speak, Harley noticed the pancake in her hand.
âIt looks good, but donât eat too much, or youâll get fat!â
With that, Cindy exploded with anger.
âIâm not fat! Youâre the one whoâs fat!â
She ignored Harley and stormed out. She was determined to give the whole plate of pancakes to Charlie so he could fatten himself up in her place.
Meanwhile, Harley didnât understand why he was being ignored.
Fortunately, he followed the aroma and found Amos and Eudora in the kitchen. They were just about to head out.
Harley picked up a piece of pancake and put it in his mouth.
Then, he said, âAmos, thank you for last night!â
Amos knew that Harley was fine from his expression. Hence, he just nodded silently and didnât say a word. However, Eudora was curious and asked, âThea is not angry anymore? Thatâs great. Iâll visit her later!â
Harley nodded and grinned, âOkay! However, Amos, I have something to ask of you!â
Before he could finish his words, Amos had already spoken.
âIâve already asked Charlie to look for the person youâre looking for. If everything goes according to plan, there will be news from Charlie in a while!â
Harley was stunned.
âAs expected from my brother, youâre amazing! I canât believe you thought of this as well!â
In fact, this was easy to predict! Amos knew Harley well enough to know what he was thinking about.
Amos had always been in charge of people. It was easy for him to tell.
Harley ate another piece of pancake and soon realized that the plate was empty. Hence, he set his sights on the one in front of Eudora.
âEudora, shouldnât you lose weight? This pancake, Iâ¦â
Eudoraâs finger paused in midair as she gasped, âDo I really look fat?â
âOf courseâ¦â Before he could finish his sentence, Harley felt an intense gaze staring at him.
Thus, he instantly realized what was happening and quickly changed his statement.
âOf course not! Eudora, youâre just right. In fact, you look even better than those supermodels. What I mean is, you should eat more. You should gain some weight!â
Only then did Eudora felt at ease and she grabbed another pancake. She agreed smugly, âI think youâre right!â
Harley wanted to cry. Why was it so hard to eat a piece of pancake?
There was nothing he could do in front of Amos. Although he had put in a good word for Eudora, he still didnât get to eat more!
