Both of them were in a rage so it was inevitable that their tones would not sound so nice.
When she heard him speak to her so harshly, she did not hold herself back either.
"Cutie Pie is my son, not yours, so of course you wouldn't care!"
Truth be told, Thea felt regretful after saying so. However, she would not back down as easily as they were arguing.
She had decided to get a divorce with Harley. That was the first and most important move!
Amos shook his head and said, "You need to calm down now."
"Calm down? I can't calm down. Cutie Pie is ill. You think that I'm not anxious as well? If I really didn't care about him, would I put all my work aside and look after him day and night? The doctor just said that there's a risk but it's not completely incurable! If she really wants to find that man, let her be! There's nothing I can do! I'm just the idiot in this relationship!" shouted Harley.
Amos remained silent and allowed him to vent his anger for a while.
Only when he stopped talking did Amos open his mouth.
He said, "You're enraged because she looked down on you. What about you? Do you believe that she was being honest when she said those hurtful words?"
Harley pursed his lips, "Wasn't she? She had already suggested looking for that man the last time. I'm her husband yet she wants to have a baby with another man. Am I even important to her anymore?"
Amos stopped speaking once again.
Harley got anxious again, "Why aren't you saying anything? Let me ask you something. If you were me, would you do the same?"
Amos shook his head, "I'd never be you, so don't ask me that. If you really have that many questions, answer them yourself! Your heart will give you an answer. The only thing that I can tell you to do now is to calm down."
Then, Amos stood up and walked away.
Harley sat there for a while, then kicked a stone.
"D*mn it!" The, although usually a little pessimistic, was much calmer than Harley.
As a mother, her natural tendency was to become strong for the sake of her child.
Eudora was stunned for a while before she organized her words.
"Thea, I know that you're sad. However, Harley is too. I think you should give him a chance..."
"Eudora!" Thea interrupted Eudora.
"I know you're attempting to persuade me, but there's no need for that. I've already made my decision."
Eudora was shocked, "Are you really going to find Cutie Pie's biological father? Have you ever thought about how Harley might feel?"
"Of course I have. That's exactly why I have to divorce him. I know it's not fair for him. However, for Cutie Pie's sake, I have to do that."
Eudora pursed her lips, "But..."
