Thea caught Helen's attention and said, "Let's go!"
Helen nodded and looked at Eudora enviously.
Indeed, both of them only had eyes for each other. They did not seem to notice their presence in the room at all.
Eudora checked on Amos and scanned her surroundings. She pondered for a while and silently sucked his fingers.
Amos was stunned and he shouted, "My hands are dirty!"
"I heard that saliva could act as a disinfectant. Let me disinfect it for you..."
Amos squinted his eyebrows and caressed her pale cheek with his other hand. "Eudora, maybe..."
As if she knew what he was going to say, Eudora immediately shook her head and replied, "Don't say it! Sugar Bun can move now. Don't say such things in front of him. He'll be sad if it hears it!"
She let go of Amos' hand and lowered her head to caress her tummy.
"Sugar Bun, did you hear? Mommy had accidentally bitten Daddy's fingers just now. Daddy loves us very much, so we should also love Daddy in the future too!"
Amos squeezed her palm gently. She was his treasured woman.
She could always make him compromise willingly in ways unimaginable.
"Are you tired? Get some rest. I'll ask Cindy to prepare your favorite food. You can eat them once you're ready!"
Eudora's eyes instantly lit up. She asked, "Could I really eat all those delicious food? No more vegetables?"
"You're excused from eating them for the time being," Amos replied.
She was already so brave and selfless. How could he be so cold-hearted and not let her eat what she wanted?
"Hubby, I love you the most!" Eudora raised her arms and hugged Amos dotingly.
"I love you too!" Amos replied.
"How much do you love me?" Eudora asked with a pure, child-like smile. Her eyes shone bright like the stars.
Amos thought about it for a second and answered, "If there comes a day in my life where I only have a second left to live, my only request is to give it to you."
Eudora was just trying to cheer Amos up. She didn't expect him to suddenly become so serious.
She immediately shook her head and said, "No, I want you to live peacefully forever. Is that okay? Will you promise me that?"
She had always been very persistent. Amos had no choice but to nod in reply, "Okay! I promise you, now go to sleep!"
Meanwhile, Kesha had been staying at home for the past few days after the banquet. She had been spending most of her time with Felicia and Gordon like a filial child.
The next morning, she had an epiphany as soon as she woke up.
"Dad, I'm sorry about what had happened the last time. Didn't you say that we should find an opportunity to ask Eudora to return and reconcile with us? Since we are free today, why don't you give her a call?" Kesha asked.
Gordon thought about it and nodded, "It's great that you think that way too. This way, all of us could get along well in the future! I'll call her now."
He then immediately went to call her.
Cindy picked up the other end of the phone. Amos had already reminded her to not reveal what happened at home. Therefore, she gave an excuse and said that Eudora and the others had gone for a vacation and were not at home for the time being. Hence, they couldn't answer the phone and that they would contact him as soon as they returned.
Gordon didn't suspect anything. He then hung up the phone and talked to Kesha casually.
"Your sister isn't home, let's plan for another day!" Gordon exclaimed.
Kesha nodded calmly, but she was thrilled with joy in her heart. Eudora was pregnant and Amos had been protecting her diligently. How could he allow her to go on a vacation?
It seemed that something had happened.
Kesha smirked as she went upstairs happily.
Gordon spoke once more as he stood behind Kesha, "Kesha, help tidy up Eudora's room when you're free! She'll be glad to see that you've turned over a new leaf when she comes back!"
