One Night Stand With That Beggar

When Christopherheard that Eudora and Juju were going abroad, he decided to take Juju to the amusement park one more time.

Back then, Christopher would always bring Juju to amusement parks when they were abroad.

Eudora was afraid of heights, so there were a lot of attractions that she dared not try.

On the other hand, Juju was having a great time. Her mood gradually brightened up when Christopher at her side. At that moment, it seemed as though she had forgotten all about the hurt that Amos had inflicted upon her.

After coming out of the amusement park, Christopher suggested having some buffalo wings.

Eudora recalled the buffalo wings that she had the other time and they were not spicy at all. Therefore, she ordered the spiciest wings this time out of spite. Then, she ordered a kid’s meal for Juju and the three of them ate together.

A waiter came over to their table when they were still eating.

“Sir, Miss, we are having our anniversary event and you’re our 99th customer today, so here’s a present from us.”

Eudora was not skeptical and she said with a smile, “We’re really lucky today!”

“Open it!”

Eudora took the box from the waiter and opened it. A diamond ring was sitting quietly in the box.

Eudora choked and coughed violently. Immediately, Christopher poured her some water and asked, “Did it scare you?”

She shook her head and let out a dry laugh.

“Isn’t the restaurant worried about going bankrupt by giving out such an expensive gift?”

However, before she could finish, Christopher had already picked up the ring from the box and knelt on one knee.

“Eudora, I know that I probably don’t have a place in your heart but I still wanted to give it a try. For so many years, you’re the only one in my heart. I’ve watched you grow and huddle over so many hardships and I’m happy for you. I acted like I was okay with it when you were with him, but the truth is I am not. Eudora, I know that I might not be qualified enough but I want to protect you and Juju. Will you give me a chance? Will you marry me…”

Eudora was taken aback and Juju, who was sitting next to her, was also dumbfounded.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

On the other hand, the onlookers around them clapped their hands and chanted, “Marry him, marry him…”

Eudora took a breath and suddenly felt that the buffalo wings might have been too spicy. So much so that all her internal organs were burning at that moment and it was all too much for her to bear.

“Christopher, get up first!” Eudora frowned and said, “Let’s go back and talk about it later.”

Christopher nodded and stood up.

They could not continue their meal because of what had happened, so they returned home.

Juju was already tired from playing in the amusement park, so she fell asleep in the car with Christopher holding her. Out of nowhere, a truck driving in the opposite direction rushed towards them, and the driver took a sharp turn to avoid the truck. Their car ended up skidding sideways.

Fortunately, Christopher protected Juju’s head and held Eudora in his arms in time, so they were fine. However, his arm hit the door with a loud bang.

At that moment, a strange thought came to Eudora.

For the longest time, she had always been the one to protect Amos whenever things happened. However, no one had ever protected her like this before. To be honest, she was a little tired of it.

Even if it was not for herself, for Juju’s sake, Christopher would be a good father!

“Let me send you to the hospital!”

“I’m not that weak, else how am I going to protect you and Juju in the future?”

Eudora noticed that he seemed to be alright, so she did not insist on it. After returning home, she laid Juju on the bed before grabbing the medicine box.

“Take off your coat. I’ll help you apply some medicine.”

Christopher was flattered and he said, “I can do it myself!”

Eudora did not make things difficult for him. She put down the medicine box and sat down on the sofa next to him.

She watched as Christopher slowly took off his coat and to no one’s surprise, his arm was bruised. Fortunately, it was not bleeding and he took some medication to apply on his arm.

After that, Eudora suddenly asked, “Why did you propose to me out of the blue? Don’t tell me that you felt like getting married all of a sudden. You haven’t mentioned it for so many years now, yet you brought it up again so suddenly tonight. Did something happen?”

Christopher’s fingers paused and shortly after, he could not help but chuckle.

“You read my mind. Indeed, it was not my intention to get married so suddenly. The truth is my old man wants me to get married before he dies.”

It explained the matter.

“But, Eudora, I meant what I said. I’ve never lied to you about my feelings for you and Juju… I…”

“Alright, I agree!”

Eudora suddenly said.

Christopher inadvertently poked the bruise on his arm with his finger.

He yelped in pain and Eudora hurried over and picked up a cotton swab. “Let me do it!

This time, Christopher did not refuse because he was studying Eudora’s face in disbelief.

“Why?”

He did not understand. In fact, he did not expect Eudora to agree to marry him. So, he had thought up a few reasons to persuade her.

He even thought of an excuse to help her escape from Amos Granger.

However, he did not expect her to agree…

“Because I have finally come to a realization!” Eudora said. She packed up the medicine box and stood up.

“You need my help and I also hoped that Juju could have a new environment. This way, you don’t have to rush and marry someone you don’t like. In the future, I will leave when you finally meet someone you like. Isn’t that good?”

Christopher could not help but feel a little disappointed when she explained her true thoughts, but on second thought, he was happy again.

They would have plenty of time in the future and she would eventually fall for him!

He then nodded and said, “Deal, then I’ll go back and prepare…”

What was the rush? However, she didn’t want to dampen his spirits after noticing how excited he was. She then said, “Be careful on the way back.”

After Christopher left, Eudora returned to the bed to look at Juju.

Perhaps, this was for the best.

…

Since Eudora had made up her mind to marry Christopher, she decided to purchase a house in Rosaville City.

After all, the marriage with Christopher was only for show and she felt that she should have a place of her own to settle down in the future.

Fortunately, the money that Eudora had given Wendy during Juju’s kidnapping was all returned to her. She withdrew some money to purchase a small two-bedroom apartment for her and Juju.

The apartment was not expensive but it was a cozy and quiet place. There was a school nearby, so it was convenient for her to take care of Juju.

The most important factor was that the house had been renovated and had been kept as it was for two years. The previous owner had never moved in so it was very clean.

She could move in immediately after purchasing the place, so it was very convenient.

Eudora settled in immediately after finishing the paperwork. After that, she went to the nearby school to register Juju.

Juju felt a little uncomfortable in the beginning but she got used to it and settled down after two days. Meanwhile, Eudora took the opportunity to accept some designing jobs and she had worked from home since. After all, she had to work in order to feed herself and Juju.

On this day, Eudora went to pick up Juju after school when she saw a familiar figure standing at the gate when she arrived.
