He attempted to get up again after that. However, Thea was already walking towards him with Cutie Pie in her arms.
"Are you silly? Why didn't you say that your legs were numb?"
Harley shook his head and shrugged, "I didn't say it because I wanted to hold you in my arms for as long as I possibly can!"
Cutie Pie looked at Harley, then at Thea. He giggled happily.
Harley noticed that Thea's mood seemed to be better. Thus, he took advantage of the situation.
"Thea, let's not get divorced, okay?"
Thea rolled her eyes at him and pouted, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?"
Harley covered his mouth and shot a look at Cutie Pie.
Thea soon agreed, "I promise you. But I still have to find him! I will not give up on Cutie Pie!"
Harley nodded and said, "Okay! I'll accompany you! We can just conceive artificially... It's just another child. I'll be able to take care of them!"
Thea immediately felt guilty again and refused, "No, I can't let you raise another child. It's unfair for you... I..."
"What do you mean by unfair? If this is your child, then it's my child too!"
After that, Harley reached out and pulled Thea into his arms.
"Both of you are precious to me!"
Cutie Pie beamed, "Dad, it's embarrassing..."
When Amos returned home the night before, Eudora had already fallen asleep. Therefore, when she woke up the next morning, she wanted to know what had happened the night before.
"What happened to Harley? Did he get drunk in the middle of the night? What happened later? How did you deal with him?"
As she spoke, she grabbed a piece of pancake right from the stove and popped it into her mouth.
"Ow, hot, that's so hot!"
Amos walked over helplessly and took away the pancake. He wiped her hands with a towel before passing her a plate.
"Put it here so it can cool down before eating it."
Cindy, who was standing aside, was amazed. Amos had transformed into the ideal househusband!
However, Eudora didn't look surprised at all. This meant that she was already used to being taken care of by Amos.
Cindy was envious!
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Amos spoke again.
"They're the only ones who can solve this. I sent him to the hospital and came back!"
Eudora immediately widened her eyes and gasped, "Aren't you afraid that they'll fight in the middle of the night?"
"It's impossible!" Amos laughed, "Harley was already dead drunk. Even if they got into a fight, he would be the loser for sure. It'll be fine, don't worry! He has tough bones!"
Eudora nodded and laughed, "That's true."
After they finished speaking, she had already finished eating a piece of pancake. She had a satisfied look on her face as she smacked her lips in delight, "It's delicious!"
Amos took another piece for her and offered, "Have another one!"
Eudora shook her head, "No, I don't want to eat anymore! I've gained quite a few pounds recently. I'm going on a diet!"
Amos frowned, "No, you're not plump. Who said so?"
Eudora pinched the flesh on her cheeks and complained, "Just look! My face has gotten much plumper! No, stop tempting me. Otherwise, I'll ignore you!"
Amos chose to stay silent. He quickly called Cindy since she was outside.
"Have some. There're extras!"
After all, Amos learned to cook from Uriah Fisher. The pancakes he made were delicious. Cindy had been waiting for this moment. Now that he was asking her to try it, she was delighted.
She marched up and grabbed a piece of pancake. She thanked him loudly.
Just when she was about to head off, Amos suddenly asked her, "Cindy, what's your weight?"
Cindy was stunned. It was unpleasant to ask a woman about her weight. However, there was nothing she could do. This was Amos Granger she was talking about. He even made something for her to eat, so she had no choice but to answer him.
