In fact, Amos had already arrived at the doorway. Hearing her bossy and imperious voice from inside, his lips couldnât help but form a curve.
He knew everything. He knew what she wanted to hear from him.
She wanted no other than him changing his mind and saying that he would let her have a baby. However, he really couldnât compromise on the matter.
Come to think of it, he squatted down again and whispered to Sugar Bun.
âYour mommy is angry, so after you go in, try to be more enthusiastic to her, and by all means persuade her to go back, okay?â
Sugar Bun nodded and said, âOkay!â
As reliable as he was, he rushed towards Eudora as soon as the door was opened.
âMommy, I miss you so much!â
Eudora reached out to hug her son. Sugar Bun had always developed much faster than that of an ordinary child. Many children of the same age might not be able to enunciate clearly yet.
However, he was already speaking clearly and loudly!
After being picked up by her, he took the initiative to kiss her on the cheek.
âMommy, letâs go home!â
She glanced at Amos, who was following behind Sugar Bun.
âI canât go back yet, I still havenât finished my work! Sugar Bun, hurry up and go back with your daddy! Children need to go to bed early!â
Amos compelled, âItâs late. Even if you donât head home, the staff will need to get off work!â
Clint, who was standing next to them, instantly said, âMr. Granger is right. Madam, why donât weâ¦â
âJust head home if you want. I still have to work overtime!â
He was speechless.
He was suddenly aflame with curiosity. How did President Granger even make his wife angry? Mrs. Granger used to agree with everything President Granger said!
This couple was acting too weirdly this time round.
âWhy are you still here?â Amos asked in a low voice.
Clint quickly came to his senses and said, âIâm leaving! You should go back early too.â
Even so, he did not forget to post a status on his Facebook account. Of course, he adjusted the setting so that only certain people could see it.
In the post, he typed, âUnheard occurrence! President Granger and Mrs. Granger are having a quarrel!â
In less than a second, he received a comment from Harley, saying, âItâs really big news!â
Christopher said, âI canât help but feel astonished!â
Leon said, âHow is this possible!â
After a while, Tina commented, âHoney, I want to eat beef wellington!â
Christopher replied, âDear, canât you see that theyâre in a quarrel? Come on, weâll go to their house for a free meal in a day or two!â
Harley said, âCount me in. I want a free meal too!â
Leon said, âIs it really that delicious? Count me in then!â
Clint was lost for words.
âWhatâs wrong with you guys? Theyâre having a quarrel! Arenât you guys curious? Why are you guys discussing beef wellington?â
The rest of them immediately chorused in unison, âThatâs impossible! They will reconcile before tomorrow. Just wait and see!â
Clint replied, âPerhaps?â
â¦
When only the three of them were left in the office, Amos closed the door and went up to Eudora slowly.
âCome on, letâs go home. I specially asked Uriah to make your favorite cake today. Letâs go home and eat them!â
Eudora finally felt much better. She didnât mean to seem so unreasonable about the matter, but wasnât it normal for a woman to have a little temper in front of her beloved?
Amos even came to pick her up;Â she canât still be upset.
Sugar Bun also chipped in and said, âMommy, Iâm hungry!â
She finally got up and said, âLetâs go home!â
The thought of having another child was still on her mind. After dinner, she began to mutter to herself while watching television.
âI donât know what the leading actress is thinking. It would be great to have children at home! Isnât it, Amos?â
He looked up and said, âWell.â
âThen why donât weâ¦â
âNope!â He said resolutely.
She could not believe it.
Her good mood was gone in an instant. Annoyed, she asked, âBut why?â
She really wanted to know the reason but Amos held his tongue.
âThere isnât any reason. We already have a son and a daughter now, we donât need any more children!â
She said disbelievingly, âItâs not like we canât afford to raise a child.â
She felt that he was hiding something from her. The fact that he didnât want to tell her and kept avoiding her question was irking her.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly, an idea popped up.
At night, after taking a bath, she deliberately put on a thin set of lingerie. When Amos came in, she struck a flirtatious pose and showed him a coquettish smile.
Out of expectations, he didnât bat an eyelid at her. Instead, he walked towards her and covered her with the quilt.
âItâs cold today. Remember to cover yourself with the quilt.â
She was taken aback.
She didnât want to give up just yet. She threw her arms around Amosâ neck.
âDear, why donât you take a whiff? Iâve changed a new perfume. Is it nice?â
He nodded his head vaguely and said, âIndeed.â
She was stupefied.
Doubting that she had lost her charm, she attempted and worked her hands all over Amosâ body. A while into it, he laid there as still as ever.
Feeling a little depressed, Eudora let go of her hands and turned her back to him.
âYouâre so annoying!â
It wasnât until she turned around that Amos felt relieved. Normally, if she would do so, he would have jumped right on her and made love to her on the spot.
However, now that she had set her heart on wanting a baby, he didnât dare to take the risk. Who knew what she would do when she was hot-headed?
Staring at her stubbornly turned back, he took a deep breath.
Once she had completely fallen asleep, he got up and took a cold shower.
The next day, Eudora decided to go on a strike.
It was morning but she didnât want to go to work. When Clint called, all she said was, âAsk Amos about it!â
She was going to quit her job just so she could stay at home to take care of the kids.
Amos did not feel furious at all. He would deal with all the problems Clint had mentioned smoothly.
Eudora, on the other hand, was playing on the swing in the garden with her son. It was the first time for Sugar Bun to play on the swing with his mother and it made him very happy. The sound of laughter could be heard million miles away!
When Eudora saw Amos coming, she ignored him in a fit of pique.
Later that afternoon, Clint posted a new update.
âOn the second day of the quarrel between Mr. and Mrs. Granger, Mrs. Granger decided to go on a strike!â
A moment later, the biggest busybody of the group, Harley, dropped a comment, âItâs been over a night! Doesnât it seem to be a bit too serious this time?â
Christopher said, âItâs indeed a little strange.â
Leon said, âItâs very abnormal! I still donât believe it!â
In hindsight, only Tina said, âThen, are we still going to their house for beef wellington tomorrow?â
Harley said, âLetâs go! We can see whatâs going on by the way.â
Thus, on the third day of their quarrel, Eudora noticed a group of people at their house as soon as she woke up in the morning.
Harley and his wife brought Cutie Pie, who had felt better these days, with them. The doctor said that he could come out for fun appropriately, so they brought him along.
Tina and Christopher came too. Tina started pestering Eudora from the moment they arrived, crying, âEudora, I want to eat beef wellington!â
Finally, there was Leon, who didnât always join in the fun. He said, âI⦠Iâm here to see how Amosâ body is recovering. Iâm also looking forward to the free meal!â
It left Eudora speechless.
