One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos gave her a wry smile and there were traces of bitterness in his eyes.

Eudora’s heart ached. She had never seen Amos act like this before.

She blurted out almost subconsciously, “Actually, you still have relatives! You are not alone.”

“Hmm?” Amos was taken aback and he looked at her blankly.

It was only then that Eudora realized that she had nearly given away the secret about Juju.

She hurriedly shook her head, “I…”

“You’re right, I still have you!” Amos suddenly smiled and thanked her, “Thank you, Eudora!”

Eudora was at a loss for words.

“Actually, I…”

“I still have some work to attend to, so I’ll go and get it done.” Amos interrupted her.

After that, he left without waiting for Eudora’s answer.

It was not until the door was closed that Eudora realized that Amos must have thought that she had forgiven him.

….

Clint was very efficient at his work. Jason immediately flew back the next day. Clint instantly suggested, “I’ll take him to the Granger Mansion now.”

“No!” Amos replied hurriedly, “Let Jason settle down and rest first. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Clint paused for a while and understood. The other relatives were coveting for the wealth of the Granger Family. Amos was worried that they would cause a ruckus as soon as they knew about the Old Master’s medical problem.

Therefore, it would be better if they were discreet.

“Alright!” Clint replied.

Amos called Old Master Granger’s assistant with his phone after Clint left.

“There will be a company dinner at the office tomorrow, so bring the president along.”

Valiant East was a renowned company in the business world and the spotlight would definitely be on their company dinner’s banquet.

Meanwhile, Anya Astor gave Eudora a call and her tone was filled with excitement. She said, “Miss Eudora, you have to come too! I heard that Wendy is coming as well, so you should dress up gorgeously and make her jealous of you!”

Eudora frowned and asked, “Why do you want me to compete with her?”

It was only then that Anya realized that she had crossed the line. Both Clint and Anya were trying their best to bring Eudora and Amos together, therefore, they naturally disliked Wendy. However, Eudora knew nothing about it!

“Uh, I just don’t like her!” Anya came up with an excuse.

Eudora paused as she suddenly recalled the smell of the perfume she caught from the clothes in the hotel that day. If that person really was Wendy…

“Fine!” Eudora nodded and agreed, “I’ll be there!”

After hanging up the phone, Eudora went to look for an outfit. She did not realize that there were various branded clothes suitable for every season prepared in the wardrobe until she started looking through them.

Auntie Valerie heard the commotion from outside and came into the room. She could not help but explain when she saw Eudora standing in a daze in front of the wardrobe.

“Mr. Granger had prepared all these for you. For the past five years, he would buy new collections every season while waiting for your return.”

Eudora frowned and realized that a small hand was tugging her finger.

Eudora was taken back but she proceeded to coax Juju, “Mommy has a dinner party tonight. So, Juju, could you please stay at home and wait for Mommy to come back?”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Juju’s emotions had become much more stable over the past few days and she would no longer cry in the middle of the night as well. She had also become less resistant to the idea of Eudora or Amos not being at home.

This was the reason Eudora asked Juju those questions.

However, Juju still shook her head as she held onto Eudora’s hand tightly.

Eudora sighed and explained, “Mommy would love to bring you there too but there are too many people at the dinner tonight.”

She was particularly worried about Wendy’s appearance.

Seeing this, Auntie Valerie helped to persuade Juju as well, “I will play Frisbee with you and Cola, how does that sound?”

Cola and Juju had become the best of friends. Eudora added, “Mommy will be back as soon as possible. I’ll be back before 9 p. m.”

Juju nodded reluctantly. Eudora then lowered her head and planted a kiss on Juju’s forehead. “Good girl!”

After comforting Juju, Eudora went to the closet to pick out a white gown and changed into it before leaving for the party.

Anya said that she wanted Eudora to outshine Wendy but Eudora was not in the mood for that. She just wanted to figure out whether Wendy was the one who harmed Juju that night.

…

It was 7. 30 p. m and the banquet had officially begun.

When Eudora arrived, the place was already crowded. Not only were Valiant East’s employees present at the banquet, but countless CEOs of other companies were also invited to the event. Celebrities were also invited to spice up the party.

Eudora heard Christopher’s voice as soon as she appeared at the entrance.

“Eudora, you’re here too!”

Eudora was stunned. She turned to see Christopher, and she asked, “Hi! How is your father?”

“He’s alright, his condition is stable now.” Christopher replied.

“That’s great! It’ll be great if you could take this opportunity to start bonding with your father.” Eudora suggested.

“What!” Christopher gave a wry smile and continued, “What’s there to bond with? I’ll take care of him when he’s ill, so I’ve already done my part. I’ve thought it over. We’ll go back to Italy after you’re done here!”

“Alright!” Eudora agreed with a smile.

A black luxury car came into view when they were still chatting away.

Clint instantly saw Christopher and Eudora chatting happily the moment he got out of the car. He felt a chill down his spine and he subconsciously peered at the Amos, who was behind him.

Amos pursed his lips. However, before he could say anything, Clint, who was next to him, piped up.

“Mr. Gellert and Miss George have known each other for many years, so they must be catching up. They are not going to enter the hall together!” As soon as Clint’s words fell, Eudora and Christopher went in together.

Clint was at a loss for words.

Clint’s face seemed a little bad when he glanced at Amos again.

Clint wanted to speak but Amos had left him to catch up to them.

“Eudora…” Amos called out.

Eudora was surprised. In fact, it would be better for her to keep her distance from Amos on such occasions. However, at the next second, Amos passed his mobile phone to her.

“Juju is looking for you!” Amos said.

Without any hesitation, Eudora rushed over and took the phone from him.

“Juju?” Eudora said worriedly.

Auntie Valerie’s voice came from the other side of the phone, “It’s alright. Juju was looking for you just now, but she went out to play with Cola now.”

Eudora nodded and said, “That’s good. Auntie Valerie, please watch over her for me.”

“Of course!” Auntie Valerie replied.

After hanging up the phone, Auntie Valerie smiled. This was the first time in her life that she had cooperated with Amos to lie to Eudora. It was not a bad feeling.

Christopher and Amos were eyeing at each other carefully when Eudora was talking on the phone.

There was a long pause before Christopher spoke, “Mr. Granger, are you trying to use a child to your advantage?”

“You’re flattering me!” Amos continued, “I know you would like to do the same. Yet unfortunately, you don’t stand a chance.”

Christopher retorted through gritted teeth, “So what? You’ve hurt Eudora so badly in the past. It doesn’t mean that she would forgive you just because Juju likes you.”

Amos frowned slightly and said, “That’s between me and her. Outsiders like you don’t have a say in this.”

Eudora turned around, only to see the two of them seemingly in a heated argument. She immediately asked suspiciously, “Are you guys arguing?”

Amos smiled before Christopher could speak, “No! It’s rare for Mr. Gellert to come back, so we were just catching up.”

Clint and Christopher were both speechless.
