Harley was very angry after leaving Amos' room.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. Why was Amos looking at him with those eyes?
The phone rang, and Thea's gentle voice came from the other end.
"Harley? Have you got off work?"
The fire in Harley's heart instantly dissipated, as if it had been blown away by a spring breeze.
"What's wrong? Did you miss me?"
Thea laughed and said, "You're so naughty. You're already a father."
"So what? If I'm too serious, how will he be getting his younger brothers and sisters in the future then?"
Thea fell speechless.
It seemed that the more he talked, the more outrageous he became. Thea huffed. "Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
After a few seconds of silence, Harley then asked, "Why aren't you hanging up if you didn't want to talk to me?"
Thea fell speechless yet again.
Human relationships really were odd. Eudora was Amos' kryptonite, and Harley was hers.
Sighing, Thea took a gentle look at the sleeping child next to her and said in a low voice.
"Fine, I've missed you, okay? Hurry up and visit me and the baby!"
"I've missed you too!" Harley laughed and pushed the door of the ward open.
Thea looked at him speechlessly.
"When did you arrive?"
"I've been here a long time!" Harley replied and handed the things he brought over to Thea. "I've brought your favorites!"
Then, Harley immediately went to see the sleeping child.
Truth be told, he was feeling slightly uneasy right after the baby was born, but now, he was completely charmed by the little kid.
The baby was just a few days old, but he didn't look as ugly as those other children.
This child was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes. They were extremely beautiful.
Especially his eyes, Harley too felt as if he was of his own blood.
This was probably destiny, wasn't it?
However, when he thought of destiny, he immediately thought of Eudora and Amos, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Thea noticed his depressed look and couldn't help but ask.
"What's the matter? Is your work getting tougher?"
Harley shook his head. "No!" He didn't dare to tell her that Eudora was missing. She would definitely be upset.
"What's wrong, then? Can't you tell me what is making you so sad? Maybe you will feel better after letting it out!"
Thea may seem loud and ignorant on the surface, but only Harley knew her true character. In fact, she was a very sensitive girl.
This was a common characteristic in children from single-parent families.
Harley didn't want her to overthink, so he gave her a brief overview of the situation.
"Amos and I had a bit of an argument because of Eudora. I just feel that Amos had been acting strangely about this. Wasn't he the one who knew Eudora the best in the past? Why couldn't he see the truth this time?"
