One Night Stand With That Beggar

“No, she didn’t!” Amos replied.

Wendy Liam had no chance to touch him at all over the past few years. How could she cure him?

Every time he fell ill, he would take medicine and think of Eudora as he endured everything.

“What’s going on then?” Eudora George was surprised.

Amos smiled. “That’s probably because she’s your daughter!”

Eudora was speechless.

Juju suddenly said, “Uncle, why are you holding my Mommy’s hand? Could you also hold my hand?”

Eudora was shocked to find that her hand was still linked with Amos’. She hurriedly pulled it out and said, “Uncle is feeling a little unwell, so Mommy was about to take care of him.”

Juju nodded, not fully understanding, and reached out to pat Amos’ back. “Uncle, do you feel much better now?”

Amos felt a sudden surge of warmth in his heart. He looked at Juju in a daze and said, “Yes, I feel much better now.”

At this time, Auntie Valerie took out all the toys she had prepared for Juju, “Mr. Granger had prepared these Barbies for you, and also these…”

Juju liked Barbie very much, but when she looked at Eudora shaking her head at her, she stood there and didn’t dare to move.

Eudora said hurriedly, “No. Don’t spoil the child.”

Hearing this, Amos couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Didn’t this woman earn a lot of money? She opened her own studio and made her name as a famous designer. Why was she acting like she couldn’t afford to buy toys?

However, he didn’t know that Eudora had been pursuing for spiritual wealth. What she had in terms of material wealth was already enough for them, so she didn’t need anything else.

Frowning, Amos replied.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“This is a gift for saving Cola. You deserve it. If you don’t want it, Auntie Valerie can take it out and throw it away!”

Auntie Valerie looked embarrassed. “This…”

“Throw it out!” Amos repeated.

“Forget it!” Eudora said hurriedly. “Since it’s a thank-you gift, we’ll take it. Juju, thank uncle for the gift!”

As a little girl, Juju liked Barbie very much, so she immediately thanked Amos warmly. “Thank you, Uncle.”

Looking at the little girl’s smile, Amos felt his heart melt.

Juju was playing with Cola at the corner. Eudora could not bear to stay in the living room for long, so she took the initiative to help Auntie Valerie out in the kitchen.

Auntie Valerie knew that Eudora was still a little uncomfortable around Amos, so she did not refuse her help.

The kitchen was still the same as it was five years ago. It had not changed a single bit. Looking at everything, Eudora felt as if she had never left. It was like she had just got home from grocery shopping.

While she was thinking, Auntie Valerie suddenly asked,

“Miss George, how about you cook the brussels sprouts today?”

Eudora came here to help, so how could she refuse? So, she nodded. “No problem!”

Auntie Valerie had already prepared the brussels sprouts, so all Eudora had to do was to cook it.

After cooking, Auntie Valerie said with a smile, “Mr. Granger really loves brussels sprouts! He had been eating this almost every day over the past few years. I just noticed that the way you cook the brussels sprouts is a little different than the way I cook it.”

Eudora was surprised and asked, “He loves to eat brussels sprouts?”

“I thought he didn’t have anything that he particularly loves to eat. He had said more than once that food was just something that could fill his stomach. He was not fussy with food.” Mused Eudora quietly.

Auntie Valerie also shook her head. “I don’t know about this. All I know is that Mr. Granger just likes brussels sprouts very much.”

Eudora frowned and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have once told him the story about brussels sprouts. Was it because of this?

Auntie Valerie saw that she was confused and said, “What’s the matter? Did I misspeak?”

“No!” Eudora shook her head. When she thought of Amos’ legs, she couldn’t help but open her mouth again.

“His legs…”

Auntie Valerie sighed. “It was an accident. You were missing at that time. Later, a corpse was transported back from Bookerfield City. Mr. Granger was devastated, and he broke his legs in a car accident.”

“A corpse?”

Eudora was stunned. Where did the corpse come from since she didn’t die?

“Did he identify the wrong person?” Asked Eudora.

Auntie Valerie shook her head. “I’m not sure either. It seemed that they found a ring on the body at that time, otherwise Mr. Granger wouldn’t have been so sad, so…”

The turn of events confused Eudora even more. She had taken off the ring at that time. Later, she lost it when she was in transit in Bookerfield City. She thought that it was God’s way of telling her that her fate with Amos has ended.

But she didn’t expect that it would end up on someone else’s body.

Was it really just a coincidence?

“Miss George?” Auntie Valerie called out again, “Is the food ready? Shall I ask them to set the table?”

“Oh!” Eudora recovered from her thoughts and buried her suspicions in her heart. She nodded and said, “Then why don’t you guys go ahead? I’ll head back with Juju.”

Auntie Valerie was stunned. “It’s already so late now. Are you sure you want to leave without having dinner? Why don’t you stay?”

“No, I can’t!” Eudora said, “We have been bothering you all evening. I’ll be going now!”

Amos was still in a good mood when he came out to eat, but when he heard this, he frowned immediately.

Did this woman really had to avoid him like the plague?

Seeing him come out, Eudora went to him and said, “Sorry to bother you. We’ll be heading back now.”

Amos nodded faintly and then turned to look at Auntie Valerie unhappily. “I’m the only one having dinner. Why did you prepare so much food? When did the Granger family become this wasteful?”

Auntie Valerie was confused. When did the Granger family become so frugal? She did not hear him complaining even when Cola was eating top-quality steak.

However, on second thought, she understood immediately.

It turned out that Amos was trying to convince someone to stay!

Thinking of this, she immediately pretended to be afraid and nodded. “I’m sorry, Mr. Granger. It’s all my fault.”

Eudora frowned. She couldn’t believe that the petty person in front of her was Amos. When did he become so narrow-minded over a meal?

However, Auntie Valerie had always been so kind to her. She didn’t want to get her into any trouble.

She had no choice but to ask, “Mr. Granger, how much is this meal? Why don’t I help Auntie Valerie to pay for it?”

Amos gave a small chuckle. “Miss George, do you have a lot of money?”

Eudora had no words to answer him. No matter how rich she was, she would not be richer than him.

At this time, Auntie Valerie quickly added. “Miss George, Mr. Granger did not mean that. He thinks there is too much food and it’s a little wasteful. Why don’t you sit down with Juju and help eat them all, so that it won’t go to waste!”

As Auntie Valerie said that, she mentally patted herself on her back, pleased with herself. She was quite a smart person, wasn’t she?

While Eudora was still hesitant, Juju also ran over and grabbed her hand. “Mommy, Auntie Valerie is right. Didn’t you say that as well? It’s hard to put food on the table these days.”

Eudora felt her face turn red when she heard what the little devil said. She had no choice but to oblige. “Well, let’s have dinner then.”

“Wow, let’s have dinner!” After Juju finished speaking, she immediately ran over and helped Amos to pick a seat. “Uncle, you can sit here.”

“Mommy, you sit here.”

Eudora furrowed her brows and thought, “What is this girl trying to do by asking me to sit next to Amos?”
