The next day, Harley and Thea got out of bed incredibly late.
Truth be told, both of them had awakened already, but neither of them had tried to wake each other, so they pretended to be asleep with their backs against each other.
It wasn't until they heard Cutie Pie's cries that they sat up simultaneously and realized that both of them had actually woken up.
After looking at each other with embarrassment for a second, Thea went to hug Cutie Pie hastily.
"Um, hubby, we are going back to the Stewart family. Do you remember that?"
Harley replied, "Of course I do! How could I forget? Now that it's almost time, let's get ready!"
Thea nodded and said, "Then, I'll prepare Cutie Pie's milk first."
So, they both got started with their own preparations. After Thea went out, Harley rubbed his forehead gloomily.
Well, it was inevitable that they have to go back to the Stewart family!
Meanwhile, Eudora, who was in Clearwater Bay, had a new plan.
After her plan of playing cards had been ruined due to Thea's absence, Eudora decided to switch courses and head back to Granger Mansion.
Granger Mansion used to be where Amos' father had lived. By right, Amos should have lived there as well after becoming the head of the family.
However, Eudora liked Clearwater Bay, so they had not moved there.
The mansion seemed desolate because no one was living there except the butler and the servants.
Fortunately, they had been taking care of the mansion and it was tidy as usual. The butler burst into tears as soon as he saw them.
"Mr. and Mrs. Granger, ever since you've not been here, the house has been lifeless. Why don't you stay here for a while this time?"
Before Eudora could say anything, the butler spoke again.
He insisted, "After all, you don't need to work during the New Year's holiday. You can just take this as a vacation!"
He had already made the arrangements. What else could Eudora say?
So, she nodded and asked someone to bring Gordon over to the mansion. The yard was big, therefore Gordon and the children had a good time playing in the new environment.
As for Eudora, she realized something as she remembered the location of the mansion.
"It seems that the Stewart family is not far from here, right?"
Amos nodded and said, "Yes, it seems so!"
"I'm wondering what will happen to Thea and Harley today."
Amos looked at her helplessly and said, "Are you really that worried about them? Or are you looking for someone to play cards with you?"
Eudora was taken aback.
She had just learned how to play cards so she couldn't help but become addicted to it!
However, what she did not know was that in that current situation, Harley probably failed to be in the mood of playing cards at all!
The Stewart family was large and affluent. Although their wealth might be no match for the Granger family, they excelled in other aspects, especially in the number of family members they had!
The head of the Stewart family, Thea's father, was a philanderer in love. His legitimate wife had given birth to one son and two daughters.
By adding Thea, his illegitimate daughter, into the equation, he had three daughters in total!
It just so happened that all of them had returned to the family today.
Both of his other daughters were married well. One of them to the son of a well off capitalist, and the other to the son of a businessman who owned numerous supermarket chains.
Thea's sisters had always looked down on her, and now they even showed haughty contempt towards Thea.
