One Night Stand With That Beggar

After Amos left, Juju played with Cola for a while before she reluctantly went to bed.

When Eudora came out from her shower, she watched Cola, who was sleeping on the cushion. After much contemplation, she decided that she had to send Cola back tomorrow.

Early the next morning, after Eudora dropped Juju off at school, she went straight to Clearwater Bay with Cola in tow.

It was already almost ten o’clock in the morning, so Amos was probably not at home.

She would just have to hand Cola over to Auntie Valerie.

Needless to say, Auntie Valerie was elated to see Eudora. After taking Cola, she insisted that Eudora should come inside and visit.

“I’m not busy at the moment. Shall we have a chat?”

It was hard to refuse her kindness, so Eudora had no choice but to nod and follow her in.

The garden was still the same as it was, even the flowers were the same as before. It had not changed in so many years.

Eudora walked in and followed Auntie Valerie to the living room. She had bought the furniture long ago. Some of them were old and already turning yellow.

When Auntie Valerie saw this, she sighed. “Mr. Granger didn’t want to change the furniture. He said he’s used to it!”

“Hmm,” Eudora said. They had probably grown accustomed to each other’s presence back then too, didn’t they? It probably did not have anything to do with feelings.

While they were talking, a shrill noise suddenly came from the kitchen. Auntie Valerie said in a hurry, “Oh no, I forgot that I was boiling something. Give me a moment. I’ll go and have a look.”

Eudora nodded and stared at the French window next to her in a trance.

This window allowed plenty of sunlight in the room, and she seemed to remember back in the day where she would lean against it whilst reading a book.

Then, there was a noise coming from behind. Eudora suddenly came to her senses and thought it was Auntie Valerie who came back.

She said hurriedly, “I’d better…” Before she could finish her sentence, she met Amos’ cold eyes.

He seemed to have just got up and was still wearing his nightgown. He had slept for the whole night and his hair was a little tousled.

Eudora’s heart sank and she hurriedly said, “I… I brought Cola home. Now that Cola is here, I’m leaving!”

Amos stopped her and said, “Wait.”

Eudora frowned. “Mr. Granger, how may I help you?”

Amos, who was behind her, suddenly asked, “What password did you set for my laptop?”

Eudora was puzzled. “Your laptop?”

“The one that you used to use!”

“Oh, that one!” Eudora responded, but she couldn’t remember. Every time she was in a good mood, she would come up with a new password. Moreover, it had already been five years, how could she still remember?

Thinking of this, she shook her head. “I think it’s better to have an IT technician to help you out!”

“No, I can’t!” Amos rejected curtly. “There’s something very important inside.”

Eudora frowned. “I thought I was the one who used the laptop?”

“Even though you were the one who used it, I still can’t have strangers looking at it!”

Eudora was speechless. Well, since she had used someone else’s laptop, she was the one responsible, “Alright then, I’ll go and have a look!”

After Amos finished speaking, he turned around and headed towards the study on the first floor.

Eudora followed him. After entering, she saw that the laptop she had used before on the table.

She walked over and tried entering a password. It was wrong!

After thinking for a while, she entered another one…

Amos leaned against the chair and stared at the woman sitting in front of the laptop, thinking hard. This scene used to be their norm, which he saw on a daily basis.

However, five years had passed since the day she left. And he was looking forward to her coming back every day.

However, when she finally came back, she had brought some other man’s child with her. However, he didn’t mind that at all. As long as she was back, he was willing to accept them even if it was another man’s child.

As long as she came back.

After a long time, Eudora entered all the passwords she could think of, but it was all wrong. She was really a little confused.

Glancing around, she saw Amos busying himself with his own work. Eudora opened her mouth and wanted to confess that she couldn’t remember the password, but in the end, she lowered her head and racked her brains again.

Finally, her hard work paid off. She was about to lose her mind when suddenly, she entered the correct password.

“It’s done!” She cried out happily.

It was not until she felt Amos’ gaze on her that Eudora realized that she had acted quite dramatically. Embarrassed, she quickly stood up and said, “The computer has been unlocked. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first!”

Amos was about to say something, but when he saw her vigilant eyes, he stopped short.

“Okay!” Amos said.

There would still be plenty of time in the future. He thought it’d be better if he did not scare her away.

After Eudora left the house, she looked back at Clearwater Bay and thought that it was probably the last time she would come here again.

Her phone suddenly rang, and she picked it up in a hurry. She heard Christopher’s anxious voice coming from the other end of the line, “Where are you? Davy said that you didn’t come to the construction site this morning, and no one was at home…”

Only then did Eudora remember that she was late for work, so she said hurriedly, “I had some matters to attend to. I’ll be there soon. Don’t worry.”

After she left, she immediately hailed a taxi to the construction site.

…

At the same time, Amos also received a call. It was from Harley.

“The video that you gave me yesterday…” Before Harley finished his words, Amos had already interrupted him, “Don’t worry, I found Cola!”

“No!” Harley said impatiently. “That black shadow, I realized that he seemed very familiar.”

Amos was stunned. “Who is it?”

“I think he’s Caleb Chuck!” Harley said. Five years ago, they found out that Caleb was the one who was controlling Wendy Liam. But ever since Wendy returned to Country C, Caleb disappeared.

The police of other countries had also been looking for him over the years.

Not only did he illegally kidnap someone, but more importantly, he did not clear all of his evidence.

An international arrest order was issued. As a policeman, Harley obviously knew something about Caleb.

“What is he doing here?” Amos frowned.

Harley was also puzzled. “Is it because of Thomas Shelby? But it was Thomas who took Wendy away from Caleb. It’s impossible for a person like him, who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance to avenge someone like Thomas!”

Amos naturally knew this, so he added, “Besides injuring Cola, what else did he do in the video?”

Harley was stunned. “Nothing else.” But on second thought, he became nervous again. “Was he planning to look for you? The news of your engagement with Wendy has been around for so many years. He is very possessive. Could this be the reason for him to come and get revenge on you? Hurting Cola might just be the beginning.”

Amos frowned, “Did Caleb just get the news about what happened five years ago? Then his title of being a gangster lord is a little hard to believe, isn’t it?”

Harley also felt that something was wrong. “What’s going on then?”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Amos still wanted to say something, but Auntie Valerie’s voice came from outside. “Miss Liam, what are you doing here?”

Amos pressed his lips together and lowered his voice.

“Forget it! Don’t worry about me. There are surveillance cameras all over my house. If he comes again, I won’t let him go.”

After that, Amos hung up the phone and wheeled himself out slowly.

When Wendy saw him, she immediately smiled. “Amos, the departmental store just released a new collection of men’s clothing. Do you want to come and have a look with me?”

As soon as she said, Cola suddenly rushed out, barking and growling at her.
