One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eudora could not stand the boredom as she couldn’t do anything in the hospital.

She finally convinced Aunt Valerie to let her leave the hospital.

Aunt Valerie had prepared a lot of good food, but they couldn’t finish them at all.

In the evening, Eudora was lying in bed but she couldn’t fall asleep. She had never felt this bed was too big for herself.

She took out her cell phone and looked at Amos’ number before she turned her phone off again.

She thought to herself that he might be busy and she should not disturb him.

Eudora forced herself to fall asleep by closing her eyes tightly as she still had to work on the next day.

Someone hugged her from behind when she was in a daze.

His scent made Eudora’s heart skip a beat. She froze.

His chin rested on her shoulder. She could feel the stubble on his cheek. For some reason, her heart ached for him. She turned around and held his face.

She whispered, “What’s wrong?”

He didn’t answer her. His lips mashed against hers.

He kissed her passionately and hugged her tightly. If it weren’t for him being apart from her for the past few days, he wouldn’t have realised that he would be so reluctant to leave her.

Eudora hid in Amos’ arms after half an hour of cuddling. She couldn’t fall asleep.

Amos caressed her arm. “You’ve lost some weight…”

“No, I didn’t!” Eudora’s nose twitched while she quickly turned around.

After a moment of silence, Amos said, “There’s something I want to tell you. It is about my trip to America this time.”

She had been waiting for him to talk about it.

Her heart was pounding as she looked at Amos expectantly.

‘Ringggg!’ Amos’ phone rang out of a sudden. His face darkened after he picked it up.

He answered, “I’ll be right there.”

He got up and put on his clothes.

He disappeared from the room in a split second.

Eudora’s heart sank, again. She felt that things had changed for some reason.

She stared at the ceiling until dawn.

Aunt Valerie had advised her to rest for two more days at home. But, she didn’t listen to her and went straight to the company after breakfast.

Her project was almost finished. It took her a day to finally complete the draft.

She would not have the time to overthink if she was busy.

She saw a rather familiar car at the entrance when she left the company.

The Old Master walked out of the car with a crutch while Eudora looked at him in surprise.

It had been more than a month since she last met him. Thousands of possible reasons of him coming to her ran through her mind.

The Old Master’s assistant came over to her.

Eudora took a deep breath and followed him.

The Old Master questioned, “What is Amos doing these days?”

Her eyes flickered. “I don’t know.”

“Really? You are his girlfriend and yet you don’t know. I thought you were reliable, so I gave my permission to you to stay with him and take care of him. But now it seems that you care for your work more than him. Then let me ask you, what’s the purpose of your existence?”

The Old Master was furious. His words were hurtful.

Eudora frowned. In fact, for the past few days, her mood was as bad as the Old Master’s. However, she didn’t want to ruin Amos’ image in the Old Master’s heart. She suppressed the burning anger in her heart and replied softly,

“I’ll send him a message!”

“What do you mean? Do you really not know what he was doing? Aren’t you two a couple? Why did he buy a house in Sovereign Garden?”

“Sovereign Garden?” Eudora’s jaw dropped a little.

She couldn’t hear anything afterwards.

Her thoughts seemed to shut off completely. The words ‘Sovereign Garden’ echoed repeatedly in her mind.

On the way back, Eudora looked blankly at the road ahead. When she came back to her senses, she took out her cell phone and dialed Amos’ number.

No one answered the phone. The phone rang for a long time before it was cut off.

Eudora took a deep breath and turned around and drove towards Sovereign Garden.

…

In Sovereign Garden. Amos received a call from Clint last night. He said that Wendy Liam was having another attack.

Amos came over right away. Wendy had been holding onto his hand and refusing to sleep.

She finally fell asleep in the morning.

But as soon as Amos withdrew his hand, she woke up again. The doctor advised him to stay with her for the time being so that she could recover slowly.

Amos touched his forehead as he was lost in his thoughts. The woman on the bed woke up again.

“Amos,” she whispered.

“Are you awake?” Amos tried to withdraw his hand again.

“Yes!” Wendy nodded and looked around. “Is this my home in Rosaville City?”

Amos nodded and replied, “Take a look. Do you like it?”

“I like it!” Wendy felt much better after a rest. “Can I get up and have a look?”

The psychologist behind him immediately nodded.

“Yes!” Amos answered. He asked someone to change her clothes before they went out.

There were a lot of sunflowers blooming in this season. It was one of the many reasons why he chose this house. Sunflowers was said to be able to rejuvenate a person.

Wendy looked at the flowers with a smile on her face.

She exclaimed, “Wow! It’s so beautiful!”

She picked one and handed it to Amos. “Please help me to put it on my hair.”

Amos was a little hesitant, but he chose to listen to the psychologist’s advice.

…

Eudora saw it as soon as she arrived.

The sun was just right and the garden in front of her was full of sunflowers.

A woman’s smile could be seen from afar. She was standing among the flowers while a man gently put one on her ear.

They bathed under the golden sunlight, like a pair of long lost couple.

Eudora stood there while her body became stiff. It was as if she was paralyzed by the freezing winter breeze.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She brought her knees to her chest after she left.

Her mind was blank and she couldn’t think at all.

Amos was back, but with another woman by his side. What should she do?

She felt someone was looking at her and she subconsciously ran away.

When she came back to her senses, Eudora realised she had returned to Clearwater Bay.

When Aunt Valerie saw her coming back, she said, “Miss, you are late today. Dinner is ready. Are you hungry? Let’s come and have dinner!”

Eudora sat there and didn’t move an inch. After a long time, she tried to comfort herself and asked,

“Did Amos come back today?”
