One Night Stand With That Beggar

Five years later, at Clearwater Bay.

Amos was sitting in a daze after getting up in the morning. He lowered his head to look at Cola rubbing against his legs.

“Do you feel like having steak?”

Cola had grown into an adult dog, but it was still a little thin. Amos had dismissed Auntie Valerie after Eudora left. On top of that, he did not have the time to take care of Cola himself. Therefore, by the time he had realized about it, Cola had not eaten for days and its health was already slowly deteriorating.

It was not until he asked Auntie Valerie that he finally learned about Cola’s favorite food. It was beef steak which was grilled by Eudora.

Even a puppy knew how to be sentimental. However, after so many years, there was still no news from that ruthless woman.

He reached out to pet Cola’s head and said, “Auntie Valerie, please prepare some steaks for Cola.”

“Don’t bother, I’ve already brought it over!” Wendy came in with a bunch of flowers in her hand. She was wearing a red skirt today, with her long hair loosely tied behind her head. At first glance, she really looked like Eudora.

After arranging the flowers in the vase, she smiled and greeted Amos. “Are you feeling better today?”

Amos nodded slightly without saying anything.

Wendy was used to it. She opened the container in her hand and said, “I know Cola loves eating steak, so I’ve brought some today.”

Auntie Valerie glanced at Wendy with contempt. If it wasn’t because that Wendy had saved President Granger’s life, she would have already kicked her out from the house. Miss George wouldn’t have left if it weren’t for Wendy too.

It was no wonder that Cola didn’t like Wendy either.

While Auntie Valerie was still immersed in her thoughts, Wendy had placed the beef on Cola’s plate. “Cola, come and eat the steak!”

Cola glanced at her and gave her a wary whimper.

Cola was really smart. For the past five years, even though Wendy had always been in and out of the house, Cola still did not like her.

Wendy was a little embarrassed so she pointed at the steak and said softly, “Cola, can you see that? It’s steak, and it’s your favorite!”

It was only then did Cola realize that there was a piece of steak on the plate and then walked slowly towards it.

Wendy was overjoyed. She knew that there was nothing in the world that she couldn’t deal with, be it men or dogs.

Cola slowly approached the plate and lowered its head to smell the steak. The next second, Cola turned around and left.

Wendy was speechless.

Auntie Valerie, who was behind her, almost laughed out loud. A counterfeit would never win. She would never replace Miss George.

Wendy was a little angry. She couldn’t resign to being humiliated by a dog, so she hurriedly pulled Cola’s ear. Cola yelped in pain and bit her fingers.

Wendy hissed and held her fingers while tears started to roll down her cheeks.

Auntie Valerie was happy and said hypocritically, “Miss Liam, how could you pull Cola’s ear? Cola is a dog, but it could still feel pain!”

Wendy’s face was full of grievance. “I didn’t. I just want him to taste the steak.” She turned her head to Amos and was about to cry.

“Amos, trust me!”

Amos frowned slightly and said, “Notify the driver. Ask him to take Miss Liam to the hospital.”

Wendy grabbed Amos’ arm and said, “My fingers are bleeding. I’m scared, Amos. Could you please come with me? I’m really scared!”

Amos frowned and said, “I still have something to attend to at the office. Auntie Valerie, you’ll go with her then!”

Aunt Valerie nodded. “Yes, Sir.”

After Wendy left for the hospital, Amos then went to the office.

As soon as he stepped into the office, Amos immediately looked at Clint with an expectant look.

However, Clint shook his head as usual. “I haven’t heard anything about Miss George yet.”

Ever since Eudora disappeared five years ago, this conversation had already become a routine to Amos and Clint.

Amos nodded back as usual. At this moment, Clint thought that he could start reporting the daily schedule to Amos. However, at the next second, Amos suddenly sighed, “Do you think she will ever come back again?”

He sounded extremely depressed, like a child who was waiting for his lost dog to return.

Clint was a little downcast as he said hurriedly, “Yes, Miss George will definitely come back.”

Amos nodded and said, “Well, how is today’s schedule like?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Today, you’ll be attending the opening ceremony of Valiant East’s newly-built EU Hotel…”

Half an hour later, at the opening ceremony.

Even in the wheelchair, Amos was still as dazzling as before. A reporter came up to him and asked, “Mr. Granger, why did you name this hotel EU? Is there any significance behind it?”

Amos said with a chuckle, “Yes.”

Because it was her name, Eudora, EU.

The reporter wanted to know more, so he continued to ask, “That must have something to do with your fiancee, right?”

“No, it has something to do with my wife.”

The reporter quickly changed his words. “I’m really envious of Miss Liam…”

Amos didn’t want to explain any further, so he excused himself. He found a corner and lit up a cigarette.

The smoke went straight into his mouth and into his chest. Amos could not help but chuckle. In his heart, there was only one wife who he truly loved…

The match in his hand fell onto the ground. Amos glanced at it but did not intend to pick it up.

The next second, he heard a soft voice behind him. “Uncle, you’ve dropped something on the ground.”

Amos turned around and saw a fair and delicate little girl. She looked like she was about five years old. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and she was wearing a blue and white striped dress.

Amos had always thought that he didn’t like children, but he just couldn’t take his eyes off this child.

While he was deep in this thought, the little girl had already bent down to pick up the match and put it on his palm. “Hold it properly!”

Amos’ heart softened as he said. “Thank you.”

The little girl suddenly shook her head. “Uncle, you are so handsome. It would be great if you are my father.”

Amos burst into laughter. “Where’s your father?”

“Mommy said that he had died a long time ago.”

Amos was speechless. What kind of the mother was? How could she say that to the child?

As he was thinking, the little girl’s eyes suddenly lit up and shouted at the direction behind him, “Mommy!”

“Juju, I have told you not to wander around…”

This voice…

Amos was stunned.

He hurriedly covered his throbbing heart with his hand and turned around slowly. The sunshine streaming through the french window coincidentally shone on the woman.

The woman was wearing a black-and-white dress with delicate makeup.

It was her, the woman who had disappeared gratuitously, making him think that she was already dead.

She was the woman who left five years ago, who had constantly made him worried about her.

Amos covered his eyes subconsciously, and warm tears were already sliding down to his cheek.

But why did she have a child?

Eudora had a stern face when she was scolding the little girl in front of her, “Didn’t I tell you not to talk to strangers? What are you doing?”

Juju pursed her lips and said, “But that uncle can’t walk. He’s so pitiful.”

Eudora then looked to the direction where her daughter’s finger was pointed at.

Amos was sitting in a wheelchair with a serious expression. At this very moment, he was also looking at her.

Eudora’s heart sank. At that instant, she hurriedly carried Juju in her arms and said, “Let’s go!”
