Molly was carrying the dishes into the kitchen when Oscar wiped his mouth with a clean handkerchief and said, “Eat faster. I’ll send you to work.”

Amelia looked at him, half-smiling. “You’ve finally realized your responsibilities as a husband?”

“Hurry up and eat!”

Amelia picked up a piece of toast. Oscar then pointed to the milk next to her and commented, “You’re pregnant. Drink more milk. It’ll be beneficial for the child.”

The hand that was holding the toast froze before she stole a glance at him. She nodded.

In the ambiguous atmosphere, all Amelia could think of was that the breakfast was exceptionally delicious. Everything she ate had been especially sweet.

After breakfast, Amelia changed into her work clothes and grabbed her handbag. “Can we go now, Mr. Clinton?”

He nodded.

She walked toward him and wrapped her arm around his, giggling. “Let’s go.”

As the two of them went out the door, his phone rang. Oscar subconsciously looked at Amelia before he whipped out his phone, seeing the name Cassie Yard flashing on display.

He frowned slightly. Amelia, who had been next to him, naturally saw it too. Her smile faltered as she said snarkily, “Mr. Clinton, your beloved’s calling. Aren’t you gonna pick up? Otherwise, if something happened, you’re gonna blame me for it again.”

Oscar glanced at her displeasedly before he softened his tone and picked up the call. “Cassie, what’s the matter?”

“Oz, are you at work yet?”

“I’m on the way.”

“Oz, are you free to pick me up? My car broke down yesterday. I don’t really want to hail a cab. Will you send me to the team? The baby and I miss you,” Cassie said coquettishly.

Oscar knitted his brows.

“Are you not willing to, Oz? You’re being so cold to me even though I’m carrying your child. Do you not love me anymore?”

“Be good, Cassie. I’ll go visit you in
