The staff in the dessert shop immediately became enthusiastic when she saw a handsome man walking in. However, she was frightened by the man's imposing aura, which made him seem unapproachable. She didn't dare to move.
Amos marched to the display counter and asked about the ingredients in each cake.
He eventually chose a gluten-free cake and said, "Wrap it up!"
The staff looked envious, "Sir, are you buying this for your girlfriend?"
Amos was never one to answer such trivial questions. However, since the other party had mentioned his girlfriend, he then simply answered,
"No, she's my wife. She's pregnant and she loves dessert."
The staff seemed to be disappointed. Clint, who was standing at the side, almost burst out in laughter.
President Granger was even willing to reveal his wife's pregnancy just to fight off unwarranted attention. Perhaps he should just stick a note on his face and write these words on it
Amos Granger belongs to Eudora solely.
After getting into the car, Amos put the cake on the seat and frowned.
"Are girls so unrestrained nowadays? How could they stare at a man's face for so long?"
Clint didn't know how to answer that question.
"President Granger, it's... it's natural for people to appreciate beauty, isn't it?"
Amos still looked visibly displeased, "Not Eudora," he said. A small smile returned to his face. The woman he liked was truly different from the rest.
Pfft...
Clint looked at Amos' smug expression helplessly.
It seemed that President Granger was very happy to share just how affectionate and lovely his relationship with his wife was.
Amos arrived home just before 6 p.m.
As soon as he entered the door, he noticed that the house had looked completely different than before. He vaguely recalled hearing Charlie and Wesley praising Eudora over the headphones back in the afternoon. He then said to Eudora sincerely, "The house looks really beautiful."
However, at this moment, the cake box in Amos' hand seemed to have attracted all of Eudora's attention.
"Is that for me?"
Ever since she was pregnant, Eudora realized that she had developed a craving for dessert. She was already salivating just by looking at the box.
Amos reached out and pinched her nose, saying, "It's for the little hungry kitten!" Eudora was having none of it, "The one in my belly is the little hungry kitten, not me."
"Oh, I won't give it to you then!"
"Amos!" Eudora glared at him.
Although Wesley and Charlie, who were standing on the side, had promised Eudora that they wouldn't make any more bets, it had become some sort of habit for them. They would start counting inadvertently whenever they saw scenes like this.
"Three, two, one..."
Before they could even finish their countdown, Amos had already handed over the cake.
"This is for you."
The two rolled their eyes helplessly.
Eudora smiled and ate the cake with satisfaction. Amos looked at her from the side before finally getting up, "Where's Juju?"
Juju, who had been sitting and minding her own business on the sofa for the longest time, shrugged helplessly.
"Daddy, I'm fine. Just take good care of Mommy!" Eudora was speechless.
Harley was next to arrive. He too had lost weight and he got himself tanned. He seemed to be in good spirits too, "Amos, Eudora, congratulations!"
Amos was as indifferent as ever, but Eudora rolled her eyes and said, "Head over to the room! We'll start when everyone is here."
Harley shook his head, "No. I want to play with Juju for a while. Juju, do you still remember the Sudoku we played the last time? Let's play it again today..."
Eudora gave Juju a meaningful look, who then shook her head hurriedly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Louis. I still have some matters to attend to. You should head over to the room now!"
Harley looked despondent, "I wouldn't have come if I had known that I would receive such treatment. I thought that I could spend some time with my lovely Juju, but you wouldn't even spare me a minute. Forget it, I'll head over to the room and played my mobile games!"
After that, Harley turned and left.
Eudora then walked over with a gossipy look and whispered to Amos,
"What do you think will happen when they meet?"
Amos was not in the mood to care about anything else. He had been looking at Eudora's shoes worriedly. She was wearing a short evening dress and a pair of slightly-heeled shoes to fit the dress.
He was worried that Eudora would feel uncomfortable in those heels.
"Does your feet hurt? Why don't you take a rest?"
Eudora didn't want to leave, but since Harley and Thea were already in the room, curiosity got the better of her.
She then nodded and walked towards the private room.
Juju covered her face as she looked at Eudora.
"When did Mommy become such a busybody? Will my little brother become a gossiper in the future?"
Amos frowned. "Is that possible?"
