Amos froze for a second and asked, "Why do you ask such a question?"
Her conversation with the Old Master about how a child should grow up in a loving environment echoed in her thoughts.
"No reason. If you are..." She replied.
"I don't want to!" Amos quickly interrupted.
It was as if he was afraid that she would blurt out more unreasonable requests.
He added, "Who do you think you are? We are not in that kind of relationship. Having a child with you is not what I look for."
"Oh!" Eudora's heart skipped a beat. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked such an absurd question."
Although she knew in her heart that this was going to happen, she still felt inexplicably upset and disappointed when she heard it herself from Amos.
Even though she knew that she shouldn't have expected much from their relationship since the beginning, but she realised that perhaps deep inside her heart, there was still a little sliver of hope.
Annoyed at her facial expression, Amos threw the remote control onto the table and strode to his room.
In the Granger family. Raw anger shot through Harry. He returned to this room and scolded the servant who was cleaning his room for no reason.
Kaylene walked over and asked, "What's wrong? I thought you were happy to see your brother. Who made you so angry? Did he bother you?"
"Ah! Don't mention that old man! We have done so much for the Granger family all these years. When Zulia passed away, I accompanied him every day to comfort him. And now since he had found Amos back, he tried to take away and give all my rights to him. He even wants Amos and that woman to have a child of their own!" Harry yelled.
Stunned, Kaylene asked, "Doesn't your brother hate that woman?"
"So what? He just wants a child! Don't you understand? As long as their bloodline can be passed down, our family will be tossed out like used toilet paper!" He bellowed.
She finally understood what was going on. Her expression changed instantly.
"That's so selfish of him! What should we do?" She said.
"We should"-- Harry sneered--"not let that child be born! Otherwise, we will lose our rights in the family!"
"But how could we get close to that woman when Amos is always watching over her?" She put her hand under her chin.
"So what? I'm sure there will be times when he's not around." Harry paused for a moment and asked, "Have you gone to see Samantha lately?" Kaylene paused and answered, "Well, I did. But she's still depressed and sleeps all day."
"It seems like this girl really likes Amos! When we adopted her, we thought that she could be useful one day, and we could possibly marry her off to someone influential when she grows up. Now it seems like she is useless."
Kaylene nodded immediately. "I'll see her again in the next few days."
Amos was not in his room when Eudora got up the next morning.
She looked to the side of the bed next to her. It looked like he never came back at all.
He spent an entire night outside...
Eudora sat quietly for a
while, staring into space before she washed up.
She saw Aunt Valerie when she went downstairs, who then informed her, "Sir went out late last night. What would you like to eat for breakfast?"
Eudora shook her head. She knew that something was wrong.
She went to the balcony and decided to grab a book to read. Although the weather was nice, she couldn't read a word. Cola came to her legs and looked at her with its black eyes.
"Cola, what's wrong with him? Do you think he's still mad?" Eudora asked.
