One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eudora George thought of the shocking case that Felix Meyer had mentioned. Hence instead of going home, she went straight to the library.

If it really was a shocking case, there must be records of it in the library.

With Felix’s age as a benchmark, Eudora searched for the newspapers which were published around that time.

Very quickly, she found that one, it was an old case…

The picture of the basement made Eudora inexplicably scared.

It was as if the photograph had overlapped with the dark environment that she had dreamt of many times, and she didn’t dare to look at it anymore. She hurriedly turned her head and began to read the report carefully.

The report said that the case happened in another country.

Before the case happened, a lady had reported to the police that her child had gone missing. The police began their investigation on the case.

Later, with the lady’s perseverance and help, the local police found a dark basement located in an abandoned factory.

The police took immediate action. In the end, they successfully rescued more than 30 kids who were locked up inside. One of them accidentally died during the escape.

When she reached the last sentence, Eudora’s breathing suddenly became rapid.

Her mind was in a mess. She found herself no longer in a library, but in a dark basement. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a whip cracking.

It all seemed so real and dizzy that she couldn’t help but hug her head and lay prone on the table.

Seeing this, the staff in the library hurriedly came forward. “Miss, Miss? Are you all right?”

Only then did Eudora wake up and shook her head. She walked out of the library in a daze.

That evening, Eudora had another nightmare.

From time to time, the sound of a girl crying could be heard in the dark room. She was also among the crowd.

Suddenly, the iron door creaked open, and a woman wearing a mask came in. Everyone started to tremble at the sight of her.

The woman approached Eudora slowly. She walked up to her and lifted her chin with the whip in her hand.

Eudora’s whole body shivered The next second, she opened her eyes and found herself drenched in cold sweat.

Amos Granger, who was sleeping beside her, seemed to sense her fear. He reached out and held her in his arms.

Eudora thought he had woken up, but he quickly fell back asleep after hugging her. She breathed a sigh of relief.

The man’s presence gave her a sense of security, and soon she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

The next day, when Eudora woke up in the morning, Amos was still lying on the bed. He was still in that same position and his strong arms were still holding her.

Eudora moved, and he woke up.

The two of them looked into each other’s eyes. He frowned. “Did you have a nightmare last night?”

Eudora was surprised. She thought that he wouldn’t know.

“It’s nothing, I’ve forgotten about it.”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Amos nodded and asked, “Auntie Valerie said you’ve been out for the past two days. Do you need help with anything?”

“I…” The words were at the tip of tumbling out of her mouth, but Eudora swallowed them in time.

“It’s okay, I’m just at the library for some research.”

Hearing that, Amos didn’t ask any further.

Eudora had spent all her time on the Internet investigating the case in the morning. However, except for the reports on the news, she got nothing else.

In the afternoon, Eudora saw another message.

Wendy Liam’s designing studio had officially published their first batch of designs, and they were going to hold a press conference the next day.

Time flew!

After Eudora finished her meal in the evening, she had constantly fixed her gaze on Amos.

She was waiting for him to tell her that he was going to Wendy’s press conference, but he didn’t say anything.

However, Amos had already noticed that she had been looking at him.

He had not felt this way in a long time. The feeling of being the object of keen attention had not appeared to him in a long time, so he did not say anything. He just wanted to enjoy the experience.

After the meal, he didn’t go to the study as per his usual routine. Instead, he opened a book and leaned on the sofa to read it.

After waiting for a long time, Eudora walked over to the sofa and sat down next to him.

Her eyes fell on his calm face from time to time. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping his reading, Eudora sighed and got up to go back to the room.

It was not until she left that Amos pulled his eyes from the book. What was she waiting for?

He put the book down and went upstairs.

Eudora had already returned to the computer. After thinking for a while, Amos tried to say something.

“There will be a press conference tomorrow afternoon, but I will be back early in the evening.”

Hearing this, she suddenly turned her head and stared at him.

Amos was stunned. It was because of this matter after all? Did she not want him to go?”

While he was still lost in his thoughts, Eudora had already spoken.

“Could you take me with you?”

Amos looked at her, confused. “I thought you hated Wendy.”

“I hate her very much, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t go. You could take it as I don’t want to be left at home.” Eudora’s tone was the same as usual.

Amos frowned. “Okay!”

…

The next day, in the office of Valiant East.

Harley Louis had become tanned after coming back from his mission. But he was in good spirits and he was still in his usual chatty mood.

He had not stopped talking from the moment he entered the room,

“Amos, it seems that you have some worries. Was there a fight among the ladies while I was gone?”

Such a jinx.

Clint Zuckerberg immediately gave him a look, signaling him not to press the matter further.

However, Harley was not such an obedient person. He deliberately wanted to dig for gossip.

Knowing that he was right, he suddenly chuckled heartily.

“What happened? Silent treatment?”

Amos rolled his eyes at him and said, “Your team should really assign you to be a teacher at a mute-school. It will benefit humankind for sure.”

Harley was not angry but smiled even more happily. “Even if you send me away now, I still have to say this. I told you that you don’t know women, right? But don’t worry. Leave it to me. Tell me, what’s wrong with Eudora?”

Amos frowned and thought of what Eudora had done last night, so he opened his mouth.

“She wants to accompany me to Wendy’s press conference.”

Harley was stunned for a moment. He then burst into laughter. “I was right about her. She is indeed my sister-in-law. She’s mighty and domineering! It’s obvious that she doesn’t want to be entangled with Wendy anymore. She’s ready to launch a frontal attack and declare her sovereignty.”

Amos raised his eyebrows. It would be better if that was the case.

She could do whatever she wanted. As long as she didn’t leave him, he would let her do whatever she wanted.
