One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos Granger had already opened a bottle of red wine when the steaks were served.

Eudora George hurriedly covered her glass, “I’m not drinking.”

Amos was stunned. “Are you afraid that I’ll take advantage of you?”

Eudora blushed and remembered how things had turned out the last time she was drunk. She hurriedly lowered her head and said, “No, I’m going to get the juice.”

The juice was in the cabinet in the living room. When she came back with it, she heard her cell phone buzz.

She picked it up and looked at the screen. The smile on her face froze.

The text was sent by a strange number. It was short with only a few words.

-I’m getting married to Amos Granger.

Eudora clenched her fists. For a moment, she thought that this was a prank. But… who would do this?

She called the number immediately.

The call was answered in an instant. It was Wendy Liam. She seemed to be expecting Eudora’s call. Wendy chuckled as soon as she answered the phone.

“You don’t believe it, do you?”

Eudora frowned. “What tricks are you playing again?”

“I’m not playing any tricks. You could ask Amos about it. It’s up to you if you’d like to believe it or not. I was just pre-empting you. Don’t be too sad!”

After that, she hung up the phone.

Amos came over and wrapped his arms around her waist. “What’s wrong? Why did you take such a long time to get the juice?”

Eudora’s ears were buzzing, and her mind was in a mess. She took a deep breath and stepped to the side, removing herself from Amos’ embrace. “Nothing.”

When the two returned to the table, Eudora poured herself a glass of juice. The words that she had wanted to say earlier were all stuck in her throat. She did not know what to say.

After a long while, she opened her mouth.

“Are you busy with the company recently?”

Amos shook his head and said, “Not really. It’s the same old thing. What’s wrong? Are you worried about me?”

Eudora lowered her head slightly. “Who’s worried about you!”

Under the light, half of her fair neckline was exposed in front of him. Just a glance was enough to ignite Amos’ desire. However, since such a good atmosphere was hard to come by, he didn’t want to destroy it deliberately.

He quickly gulped a glass of wine to distract himself.

After thinking for a while, Eudora asked again, “Has Miss Liam been discharged from the hospital?”

Amos paused and coughed slightly, “Yes.”

But seeing that Eudora was acting strangely, he asked, “Did you hear something?”

Eudora did not respond. He then added, “No matter what it is, you only have to remember this – Trust me.”

Judging by what he said, what Wendy said must be true. The last straw of hope in Eudora’s heart disappeared in an instant, but she conjured a small smile and raised her head. “I didn’t hear anything. Did something happen?”

Amos shook his head and said, “Nothing.”

He knew that he was being selfish. He knew that if Eudora was aware of the marriage, she would be upset and she might even consider leaving him. In that case, he would not tell her unless she knew about it first.

Moreover, she had been in poor health recently, he did not want to make matters worse for her.

The meal was finished in silence.

When Amos approached her later that night, Eudora pushed him away, saying that she was not feeling well. He did not say anything. He kissed her forehead and hugged her to sleep.

However, Eudora could not sleep all night.

The next day, she deliberately got up late and did not go to the company. After he went out, she went straight to Wendy’s apartment.

Although Wendy had confidently broken the news to her over the phone, Eudora still wanted to confirm it again herself.

However, she stopped herself the moment she arrived at the door to Wendy’s apartment. What was she doing? She couldn’t believe that she was going to do such a ridiculous thing.

She had initially made up her mind to leave Amos, but she gave up the idea because of the sudden arrival of the child.

Why was she acting like this now?

Eudora turned around, started the car, and drove away.

She went out to run a project with Christopher Gellert in the afternoon. When they left the place, Christopher was still talking about the project.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“What do you think? I think we should consider the project.”

There was no response from Eudora. Christopher stretched his hand out and waved it in front of her eyes. Only then did she come to her senses. “What did you say?”

Christopher sighed. “What’s wrong with you? You’ve been quite distracted today.”

“I’m fine.” Eudora shook her head.

However, Christopher knew she was lying. “Don’t lie to me. I’ve heard all about it. Miss Liam saved Amos Granger once again, didn’t she? She’s now a threat to your life again, yes?”

Eudora smiled bitterly. “It’s a pity that you aren’t a detective.” His reasoning ability was strong.

“Stop lying to me. I’ll tell you the same thing again. If you want to leave, I’ll find a way to help you.”

Eudora did not speak. She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen. She could leave, but what about the child?

“Well. Let’s not think about it anymore.” Christopher grabbed her arm and said, “Let’s go. I’ll buy you chocolate. I heard that you would feel better if you eat dessert when you’re in a crappy mood. Don’t refuse.”

Eudora had no choice but to follow him into the mall.

It was still office hours, hence there were very few shoppers. While Christopher was queueing for a chocolate waffle, Eudora’s eyes fell on the baby supplies area.

She was unable to move her eyes away as if they had some sort of attractive magical powers.

When she snapped back to reality, she had already walked over to the area. The small clothes, shoes, and toiletries were all very cute.

When Eudora was browsing, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“Amos, take a look at this.”

Amos Granger?

She looked over and saw that elegant man standing there quietly with his hands in his pocket.

Standing in front of him was Wendy, who was smiling and holding a curtain cloth. There was a hint of coquetry in her delicate voice.

“How about putting it in the new house?”

New house…

When Eudora saw this, the text message from last night flashed in her mind. “I’m about to get married to Amos Granger.”

So, were they shopping for their new home?

She had initially thought that it was all Wendy’s little tricks. Thankfully, she had waited until this moment.

Now, the evidence was right in front of her eyes, and yet she had nowhere to hide.

They were about to get married, and she would become a shameless third party in the end.

…

When Christopher came out with chocolate, he found that Eudora had already disappeared. He ran out quickly and found Eudora in the car.

She was sitting in the passenger seat with her head down.

Christopher breathed a sigh of relief. “You scared me to death. I thought you had gone missing.”

He handed her the chocolate that he had just bought. “Eat it. It’s very sweet.”

Eudora calmly took a piece of the chocolate and put it into her mouth. “It’s bitter.”

Christopher was stunned. “No way. I’ve eaten this before. It can’t be bitter. Did they change the ingredients?”

He took one and put it into his mouth. “It’s not bitter at all! How is this bitter?”

Eudora smiled bitterly, “It’s all bitter.”
