Eudora and the others left after dinner.
Kesha was once again lectured by Felicia at home.
"Didn't you say that you and Steven are getting along well? When are you two getting married then?"
Kesha was annoyed and she frowned impatiently, "Mom, why are you urging us? We'll get married when the time is right!"
"What do you mean by when the time is right? You two aren't that young anymore. You should get married as soon as possible. At least, I'll still be able to take care of your child when the time comes. Didn't you see how cute Eudora's child is! Your father adores Juju very much. If you bear his grandchild, he would definitely be delighted!"
Kesha's brain was buzzing, "Mom, that's enough. You are getting more and more fond of Eudora now, aren't you? Don't forget that I'm your biological daughter, not her!"
After that, she turned out and left in a huff.
Felicia sighed as she watched her leave.
Steven had already left when Kesha came out of the room.
Fie must have noticed that both Amos and Eudora did not seem to be affected at all. Fie was infuriated that they were plotting against him secretly instead. At the thought of this, Kesha scrambled out and rushed to the hospital at once.
She inquired about the situation once she found that particular doctor, and she was certain that Amos had already known that the baby in Eudora's belly wasn't his. After all, the doctor had lied about the date of conception as per Kesha's request. She was relieved.
She called Steven, but he didn't even pick up the call. It was obvious that he was still angry at her.
Kesha was also annoyed by the thought that Steven seemed to be a complete loser compared to Amos.
She had always regarded Steven as a capable man before she got to know him better. However, at this moment, he was just a fool who benefitted from the help of his woman. After all those years of studying abroad, was this all he was truly capable of?
Kesha felt more and more envious when she thought of just how well Amos was treating Eudora.
She couldn't help but compare the two men together. As a result, she felt that Steven's achievements and personality could not even match a third of Amos'!
However, what else could she do? Things had already developed to this point, she ought to finish the race even if she had to crawl to the end!
Kesha canceled the call and drove to the amusement park.
She was certain that Steven had nowhere else to go other than the amusement park.
It turned out that she was right. As soon as Kesha reached the amusement park, she saw Steven lying on the office couch, dispirited. When he saw Kesha that had arrived, he turned his head away from her and threw a tantrum like a child.
Kesha breathed a sigh of relief and went forward to hold his hand.
"Steven, listen to me."
Steven shook her hand off, "What else is there to say? Are you here for a good laugh? I have nothing left, and everything is going to be taken away by Amos. Why don't you go over to Amos' side as well? As you could see, he treats your sister really well. Perhaps, he will treat you the same way."
Kesha sneered in her heart. She would if she could.
Did he really believe that she wanted to stay with a good-for-nothing like him? She just wasn't as lucky as Eudora was! There was nothing else she could do!
For the first half of her life, she had been outshined by Eudora in every possible aspect. A few years down the road, her glory days soon came after Eudora had been married off, yet she was still the family's pride.
However, Eudora wasn't that capable and Felix was never fond of her. Hence, she enticed him to prove otherwise.
