One Night Stand With That Beggar

After lunch, everyone began to carry out their club activities.

They were the members of the reading club, so naturally, they had come to discuss the books that they had read.

Rachel liked historical books a lot. It happened that a few people were talking about historical stories that they had read. Therefore, she listened carefully to them.

The other people also behaved well as if nothing had happened between Rachel and them in the morning.

During the break, several girls wanted to go to the toilet.

However, there were no washrooms in the remote area they were in. Hence, they had to simply urinate at some inconspicuous spots.

Eddison looked at Rachel, who seemed to be holding her bladder for quite a long time.

“Do you want to go too?”

She definitely wanted to go, but she was not familiar with those girls at all. Thus, she could not count on them to guard her.

“I’ll go with you!” said Eddison.

Rachel was rendered speechless.

“Well, that won’t be necessary. I can still-”

“Let’s go!”

After that, he had already got up and left. Rachel almost couldn’t hold it in anymore, so she quickly followed him.

The two of them deliberately headed in the opposite direction that those girls had gone just then. Eddison found a secluded spot for Rachel.

He reassured, “Don’t worry. I’ll walk further and wait for you over there!”

Then, he turned around and walked away.

Rachel took a deep breath and felt at ease.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

After relieving herself, she happened to see him standing at the edge of a hill with his back facing her. It was almost afternoon, and the hill sat amidst the white clouds, shrouded in mist.

From that morning till then, she was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery of her surroundings due to the troubles caused by Sierra’s friends.

Rachel walked towards Eddison slowly, but she was soon stopped by some people.

They were the girls who had insulted Rachel in the morning. That girl who was leading them, Cecil, was Sierra’s number one fan, one that would not stop singing praises of Sierra.

However, Sierra was not with them.

Rachel paused and took a step back subconsciously.

She thought they were there for the same purpose as her, so she gave way to them. However, they had apparently not come to relieve themselves. As Rachel took a step back, they took a step forward, confronting her.

“Well, you’re not that good-looking. How come you’re so adept at seducing men?”

Rachel understood at once that they had come to take up the cudgels for Sierra.

She furrowed her brows and said, “Please get out of my way.”

Cecil pushed Rachel violently, saying, “Hey, stop acting arrogantly! Stay away from Eddison!”

“It’s none of your business.”

Rachel tried to remain composed. Undeniably, she felt a little nervous.

She was not like Naomi, who had been fearless since she was a child.

Fear was one of the most basic human emotions and it worked like an instinct. Rachel could not help being scared, but she still tried to restrain herself.

“None of my business? You are so proud of yourself for being able to seduce Eddison, aren’t you? Now, you have to apologize to Sierra and stay away from him!”

Rachel gritted her teeth and said, “That’s impossible!”

“Well then, I’ll let you know the price of being a homewrecker!”

After that, she threw a punch at Rachel’s face.

Rachel tried to dodge the hit, but the punch still landed on the side of her ear. As a result, she grimaced in pain.

She cried for help, “Eddison!”

“Don’t you dare call him for help! Girls, let’s teach her a lesson!”

Subsequently, they started punching and kicking her.

Initially, Eddison was standing at the edge of the hill, waiting for Rachel. He was afraid that Rachel would feel embarrassed, therefore he purposely stood there. He intended to give her more privacy, but the downside was that it was difficult for him to hear Rachel’s voice.

What was more, he turned his back to her, hence he failed to notice what was happening to Rachel.

It was not until he vaguely heard a noise behind him that he turned around, only to find that several girls were hitting Rachel.

He immediately made a dart for her and pushed those girls away.

“What are you doing?”

Those girls came from another direction, thus they had failed to notice that Eddison was nearby.

They were flabbergasted upon seeing him appear out of the blue.

“W-we didn’t do any-anything.”

He held Rachel up and checked if she was injured.

“Are you alright?”

Rachel shook her head. “I’m fine.”

However, he was infuriated when he saw the bruise on her face. He held Rachel’s hand tightly.

“You’re not fine. You’re injured! All of you, stop right there! Who asked you to do this to Rachel?”

Usually, Eddison acted friendly and courteous with them. They seldom saw him with such an irritated look, so they were frightened by him.

“No one asked us to do it.”

“Tell me the truth!”

“We were just here to punish a homewrecker. Serves her right!”

He was really baffled by their point of view. He asked, “Who told you that Rachel is a homewrecker?”

“Isn’t she? Sierra and you are a couple, but Rachel sticks to you like a fly every day. What else can she be other than a homewrecker?”

Blinking, he asked, “So, Sierra told you that, did she?”

“Um-”

Cecil was about to say something when they heard a gentle voice.

“What happened? How did Rachel get hurt?”

Sierra came with a concerned look. Nonetheless, Eddison was disappointed in her. He regretted believing her words in the past and thinking that she was a good person.

To his surprise, she was a wicked girl, who was capable of defaming Rachel and asked others to hit her.

“Sierra, you’re here at last. Hurry up and tell us if Rachel is a homewrecker or not. She stole Eddison from you, right? It’s not wrong for us to punish her, right?”

Sierra hurriedly shook her head, “Stop talking about that! Let’s go back first!”

“Come on, Sierra, you can’t back away! If you give her an inch, she’ll take a mile from you!”

“That’s enough! Eddison, Rachel, I’m sorry for this misunderstanding. I’ll explain things to them later.”

As they left, Eddison stared at their backs.

“Wait a minute!”

Sierra turned around, and so did the others.

He held Rachel’s hand at the next moment.

“Since you don’t want to make things clear now, I have something to say.”

Everyone noticed that he had taken the initiative to hold Rachel’s hand, and they were unsure of what was happening.

“Eddison, you-”

Sensing that he was about to announce something important, Rachel tried to stop him.

“Rachel, I’m sorry that I can’t listen to you this time.”

He pursed his lips and continued to say loudly, “I admit that I liked Sierra a lot.”

Sierra was dumbstruck for a moment before she blushed and lowered her head. She was pleased to hear that he had indeed liked her.

“However, I won’t be able to live with myself if I can’t protect the woman I like!”

Sierra raised her head cheerfully while her friends were whispering.

Meanwhile, her friends were whispering among each other, “So, Rachel really is a homewrecker. Even Eddison admits to it.”

Then, he pulled Rachel to his side, continuing, “However, that was all in the past. What’s more, I’ve never been with Sierra. Back then, I was uncertain where my heart belonged. At this moment, the person I like is Rachel, and I won’t allow anyone to scold or bully her!”

Rachel stared at him affectionately. He still told them the truth in the end.

She was also relieved to hear him say things out loud. She no longer wanted to conceal their relationship anymore.

She thought perhaps, he had successfully given her a sense of security.

Sierra’s friends were confused as they asked, “Did he just say that he has never been with Sierra?”

“Sierra, didn’t you mention before that you…”

Sierra almost shed tears as she was greatly saddened by his words. She was plunged into despair when she heard what he said.
