Freya was completely confused. She had always thought that she had married well. She had looked down on Thea for marrying a nobody, but she had not expected Harley to be a police officer.
How could she admit defeat?
âIsnât he just a policeman? Whatâs so great about him? What are you afraid of, honey?â
Hearing that, Heinz slapped her again.
âAre you crazy? Iâve already told you that he is a sergeant. How can an ordinary policeman be compared to him? Are you going to apologize or not? If you donât, Iâll divorce you!â
Freya clenched her teeth unwillingly and finally compromised.
She had no qualms about her father abandoning her, but she could not afford to be abandoned by her husband. She had put in a lot of effort in order to marry him.
She would not let him go so easily!
âIâm sorry!â
Harley did not care about her apology at all. He wrapped his clothes around Thea, who stood behind him. and said, âLetâs go!â
Heinz hurriedly caught up to Harley again. He nodded and bowed at Harleyâs back.
âOfficer Louis, mind your step! Please come again next time to our company for a drink!â
Freya looked at his husbandâs brown nose. She couldnât help but ask, âHoney, what are you afraid of?â
âDo you have any idea what youâre saying? The last time something happened to my company, I got criticized by him! Just now, when I brought so many people to teach him a lesson, he took photos of me. If he deliberately wanted to make me suffer, he could bring up what happened last time. If that happens, our company will be affected again. By that time, my father will definitely beat me to death!â
Freya gritted her teeth and said, âThen, should we just be threatened by him like this?â
âWhat else do you think we should do? Should I invite you to defend me the next time he criticizes me?â
Freya closed her mouth, but soon her eyes lit up again.
âDid you see that? They seemed to have entered the villa in front of us!â
Heinz said impatiently and asked, âWhat does that have to do with me?â
âYou silly man!â Freya snorted. âHeâs a policeman, and heâs close to a businessman! Since he could blackmail you, why donât we take the initiative to attack him first?â
Heinz was stunned and said, âYou meanâ¦â
âWhy not?â Freyaâs face was full of resentment. âIâve never been slapped before in my life! However, today, I got pinched and slapped!â
She had been slapped three times, one after the other, and her arms had gotten bruised. How could she let this matter go?
Heinz nodded and said, âHoney, youâre so smart! Okay, letâs do it!â
â¦
Harley and Thea were not aware that they had been targeted. Since they no longer had to suffer in the Stewart family anymore, they went to the Granger Mansion to look for Amos for a round of cards.
Coincidentally, as they passed by the entrance of the mansion, they saw the children playing in the garden. Thus, they went in.
Harley and Thea did not leave the yard and spent the whole afternoon there.
The sky grew dark. They drove back home as soon as they left the mansion. They had no idea that they had been photographed!
At night, when Eudora and Amos were about to go to bed, Eudora stared at Amos.
Her actions made Amosâs heart skip a beat. He wondered if there was something dirty on his face.
He asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Eudora shook her head and answered, âI just remembered what Thea told me in the afternoon. Didnât you hear how Harley dealt with the Stewart family?â
Amos shook his head and said, âNo, I did not.â
Indeed, he had not heard about it. Why would men like them talk about such trivial matters?
âWhat did he do?â Amos asked.
Then, Eudora excitedly told Amos about how Harley had saved Thea, looking extremely excited.
âIâm so envious! I feel that our life seems to be getting duller and duller! I donât even feel my heart skipping a beat anymore!â
Amos was rendered speechless.
Was he getting abandoned? His wife had just said that she no longer felt her heart skip a beat for him anymore?!
Amos frowned as he walked over and grabbed Eudora, pinning her against the wall.
âHuh?â
Eudora looked at him in bewilderment and asked, âWhat are you doing?â
Amos was taken aback.
She really could not feel anything for him anymore!
Amos was downcast and was unable to sleep all night. The next day, Aldred, the butler, informed Amos, âMr. Louis called just now to ask if you have any plans today. If not, they will come overâ¦â
Warning signals went off in Amosâ brain!
âTell him that Iâm going out today so I wonât be free! Same goes for tomorrow either. He doesnât have to come over these few days!â
Aldred was rendered speechless.
âMr. Granger, are you really that busy? Do you need me to assist you?â
Amos gritted his teeth, âI dare you to ask me one more time!â
Only then did Aldred realize that Amos was looking for an excuse and hurriedly apologized, âMr. Granger, I understand what youâre trying to do!â
âHold on!â Amos suddenly called out to Aldred again.
Aldred sweated profusely. He thought that Amos was about to lose his temper. To his surprise, Amos asked, âTell me, how can a man make a woman fall in love with him?â
Aldred was surprised upon hearing his question.
âMr. Granger, is there something wrong between you and Mrs. Granger?â
âHmm, what did you just say?â
Aldred kept quiet.
âIâm asking for a friend!â Amos explained to Aldred, unprompted.
Aldred nodded, âPerhaps, you can try to change your image, Mr. Granger? Itâs understandable that youâve gotten used to each otherâs appearance since you and Mrs. Granger have been together for so long!â
Amos nodded, but he immediately came to a realization and insisted, âItâs for my friend.â
Aldred instantly caught on and added, âThen, you can suggest this to your friend!â
When Eudora woke up, she realized that the house was quiet.
âWait a minute. Didnât Thea say that theyâll come to play poker with us today? Why is she not here yet?â
Amos replied calmly, âThey called and said that they had something to do today. They will be very busy these few days, therefore they wonât be coming!â
Eudora immediately became disappointed and said. âItâs really boring, being at home!â
Amos got up and said, âThen, letâs go shopping!â
Eudora was stunned and said, âShopping? Okay!â After all, it was a more interesting activity than being cooped up at home.
Amos and his family went shopping together. In the past, upon arriving at the shopping mall, Eudora would go straight to the childrenâs clothing department.
This time was no exception.
Eudora bought some nice clothes for Juju and Sugar Bun. As soon as the clothes were wrapped up, she realized that Amos was missing!
âWhereâs Dad?â Eudora was curious.
Juju replied, âMom, Iâll take you to him.â
Eudora put away the clothes and followed Juju to the menâs clothing department. She discovered that Amos was actually trying on clothes!
Not only that, but he was also sincerely asking the store assistant about which clothing looked better on him.
This had never happened before!
Juju became alarmed and said, âMom, why is Dad talking so happily to that woman? She looks so pretty!â
Eudora replied, âYes, she is! Your father isnât interested in that type of woman though.â
Juju was rendered speechless.
âMom, arenât you jealous?â
âWhy would I be jealous?â Eudora smiled. âI trust your father!â
Juju touched her forehead. She thought to herself, âDad, I can only help you this far. Your wife really is too generous!â
