In fact, Amos had already arrived at the doorway. Hearing her bossy and imperious voice from inside, his lips couldn't help but form a curve.
He knew everything. He knew what she wanted to hear from him.
She wanted no other than him changing his mind and saying that he would let her have a baby. However, he really couldn't compromise on the matter.
Come to think of it, he squatted down again and whispered to Sugar Bun.
"Your mommy is angry, so after you go in, try to be more enthusiastic to her, and by all means persuade her to go back, okay?"
Sugar Bun nodded and said, "Okay!"
As reliable as he was, he rushed towards Eudora as soon as the door was opened.
"Mommy, I miss you so much!"
Eudora reached out to hug her son. Sugar Bun had always developed much faster than that of an ordinary child. Many children of the same age might not be able to enunciate clearly yet.
However, he was already speaking clearly and loudly!
After being picked up by her, he took the initiative to kiss her on the cheek.
"Mommy, let's go home!"
She glanced at Amos, who was following behind Sugar Bun.
"I can't go back yet, I still haven't finished my work! Sugar Bun, hurry up and go back with your daddy! Children need to go to bed early!¹'
Amos compelled, "It's late. Even if you don't head home, the staff will need to get off work!"
Clint, who was standing next to them, instantly said, "Mr. Granger is right. Madam, why don't we..."
"Just head home if you want. I still have to work overtime!"
He was speechless.
He was suddenly aflame with curiosity. How did President Granger even make his wife angry? Mrs. Granger used to agree with everything President Granger said!
This couple was acting too weirdly this time round.
"Why are you still here?" Amos asked in a low voice.
Clint quickly came to his senses and said, "I'm leaving! You should go back early too."
Even so, he did not forget to post a status on his Facebook account. Of course, he adjusted the setting so that only certain people could see it.
In the post, he typed, "Unheard occurrence! President Granger and Mrs. Granger are having a quarrel!"
In less than a second, he received a comment from Harley, saying, "It's really big news!"
Christopher said, "I can't help but feel astonished!"
Leon said, "How is this possible!"
After a while, Tina commented, "Honey, I want to eat beef Wellington!"
Christopher replied, "Dear, can't you see that they're in a quarrel? Come on, we'll go to their house for a free meal in a day or two!"
Harley said, "Count me in. I want a free meal too!"
Leon said, "Is it really that delicious? Count me in then!"
Clint was lost for words.
"What's wrong with you guys? They're having a quarrel! Aren't you guys curious? Why are you guys discussing beef Wellington?"
The rest of them immediately chorused in unison, "That's impossible! They will reconcile before tomorrow. Just wait and see!"
Clint replied, "Perhaps?"
When only the three of them were left in the office, Amos closed the door and went up to Eudora slowly.
"Come on, let's go home. I specially asked Uriah to make your favorite cake today. Let's go home and eat them!"
Eudora finally felt much better. She didn't mean to seem so unreasonable about the matter, but wasn't it normal for a woman to have a little temper in front of her beloved?
Amos even came to pick her up; she can't still be upset.
Sugar Bun also chipped in and said, "Mommy, I'm hungry!"
She finally got up and said, "Let's go home!"
The thought of having another child was still on her mind. After dinner, she began to mutter to herself while watching television.
"I don't know what the leading actress is thinking. It would be great to have children at home! Isn't it, Amos?"
He looked up and said, "Well."
