One Night Stand With That Beggar

“Stay right there!” Amos suddenly shouted.

He had been looking for her for so many years. Even if she had a child, he could not just watch her disappear in front of him.

However, Eudora didn’t stop, but quickened her pace.

It was inevitable that one would meet one’s enemies. This was the first time Eudora had returned in over five years. She had come back because of work, but little did she expect that she would bump into Amos. If she knew that she would meet him, she wouldn’t have come back at all.

Eudora ran away while Amos chased after her. Soon, this attracted the security guards’ attention.

The security guards rushed over to stop them, and then looked at Amos. “Sir, do you need us to send them to the police station?”

Amos shook his head and said, “No, take them to my office.”

Eudora wouldn’t agree to it, so she said, “We are the guests of this hotel. You don’t have the right to arrest me. I’m going to sue you.”

The security guard was embarrassed. “President Granger, what should we do?”

Amos said calmly, “She stole my things.”

The security guard did not hold back this time, and immediately took Eudora away. Amos followed them into the office and closed the door.

Eudora stood in front of the couch with her daughter in her arms and looked at him with a frown on her face. “Mr. Granger, I’ve just gotten back from overseas. I don’t know what I’ve stolen from you.”

Amos furrowed his brows when he heard her referring to him as ‘Mr. Granger’.

But soon, he calmed down and said in a low voice, “You liar. How dare you say that you didn’t steal anything from me? You stole my heart.”

Eudora was speechless.

Juju, who was in Eudora’s arms, suddenly covered her eyes. She was embarrassed and shy when she heard what Amos said to Eudora.

Eudora coughed and quickly covered Juju’s ears. “As you can see for yourself, I have a child and a family. It’s inappropriate for you to do this.”

Amos’s heart sank when he heard that.

After a long silence, he said, “So what?”

“What do you think? I have nothing to do with you now. Please let me go. Juju’s father is waiting for me…”

The next second, Amos suddenly grabbed her hand.

“You’re lying to me. She said that her father is dead!”

Eudora was at a loss for words.

While she was still thinking, Amos, who was in the wheelchair, gradually approached her. Eudora retreated subconsciously and sat down on the couch.

Seeing that Amos had pushed her onto the couch, Eudora hurriedly reached out her hand to stop him.

“Wait, wait. Her father is dead, but she still has a stepfather. Regardless, this is not appropriate at all. Please let me out immediately.”

Amos frowned. “How many men have you married?”

How could Eudora forget that Amos was a mysophobe? He was probably disgusted by her.

At the thought of it, she hurriedly said, “Not many, just four! I couldn’t help it too. Juju’s father died early. He passed away not long after I gave birth to Juju. Therefore, I had to remarry in order to raise Juju. Maybe I was jinxed, that was why they had all died once I marry them….”

Eudora rejoiced in heart that her daughter’s ears were covered when she uttered those words.

“I am no longer the Eudora who you used to know, so you’d better let me go now!”

However, at the next second, Amos suddenly held her in his arms. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, as if he had no intention to let her go.

Eudora was stunned as she struggled desperately. “Amos, what are you doing? Are you crazy?”

Juju, who was next to them, suddenly asked, “Uncle, are you crying?”

Eudora was dumbfounded. Was Amos crying? How could that be possible? He was a man with such indomitable spirit. How could he cry?

She then uncovered Juju’s ear subconsciously and reached out her hand to touch him. Amos then let go of her and turned his head away from her.

“You can leave now.”

Eudora frowned. Just like that?

In the dark room, Amo’s back was facing her, and the wheelchair which he was sitting in was shining under the dark night.

Eudora opened her mouth, curious to know what had happened to him. However, on second thought, she decided not to ask instead.

They were never from the same world. Even if she asked, what could she do?

Thinking of this, Eudora held Juju tightly and went downstairs without looking back.

…

Amos sat there until he could no longer hear her footsteps. He lit up a cigarette and took a slow and deep drag of it.

He stayed at the office for the entire night.

By the time Harley arrived, there were already a few people gathering outside the office.

Everyone was discussing, “Should we just knock the door down?”

“No, I think it would be better to cut off the lock.”

Harley frowned. “What’s going on?”

Clint said hurriedly, “President Granger has been in there since yesterday. We have tried to persuade him to come out, but he still doesn’t want to. What do you think we should do?”

Harley rubbed his chin and said, “Have you told him that you have found Eudora?”

Clint nodded and said, “Yes, but there’s still no response from him.”

He didn’t even respond to this? This seemed bad!

“Is he dead?” Harley looked at the door in horror.

Clint flicked his finger on Harley’s forehead and said, “Please don’t curse our president.”

Harley was just saying it casually, he didn’t mean to curse Amos. He covered his forehead and said, “Don’t you think it’s strange? Amos used to care about Eudora the most, but there was no response from him at all when you told him about her, so does that mean…”

As they spoke, they looked at each other and suddenly realized what was going on.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“I’ll go check on the surveillance video now.” Clint quickly said.

A moment later, they were both stunned when they saw that familiar woman in the surveillance video. Clint cried at that instant. “It’s Miss George. Miss George is really back!”

“But shouldn’t President Granger be happy if Miss George is back?”

Harley pointed at the child in Eudora’s arms and said grumpily. “If she is married and has a child now, do you think that President Granger will still be happy that she’s back?”

Clint quickly shut his mouth and then asked, “What should we do then?”

Harley rubbed his chin again and finally said, “Let’s kick the door down!”

Otherwise, what else could they do?

Clint gritted his teeth and said, “But President Granger will be furious if we do that!”

“Which is more important? Him being angry at us or him starving to death?”

Obviously it would be him starving to death…

No! Clint hurriedly shook away this terrible thought and immediately called for help. “Kick the door open.”

After a while, the door was kicked open. Thick smoke was billowing inside the room.

Harley covered his nose and couldn’t open his eyes. “Amos, are you trying to burn this place down or poison yourself?”

He glanced at Amos and looked towards the ashtray which was full of cigarette butts. Just how many cigarettes did he smoke?

After opening all the doors and windows, Harley walked to the couch and sat down. “Amos, I’m sorry for your loss!”

Amos ignored him and lit up another cigarette.

Harley really admired him. How could he endure not sleeping at all? How could he still be in the mood to smoke?

Harley got rid of the cigarette in his hand and said, “If you’re still in love with her, then you should go and get her back. Even if she is married and has a kid now, so what? If you want to move on, then don’t torture yourself like this. Moreover, you still have a beautiful woman who is waiting for you to marry her, isn’t it?”
