One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eudora had been having nightmares ever since her memories returned and even more so after Juju fell ill. She had not been able to sleep well for a long time.

However, she found herself lying in Amos’ arms when she woke up. She sat up immediately and asked, “Why didn’t you wake me up? Did you do it on purpose?”

Amos Granger stared at her blankly before standing up to explain bitterly.

“Weren’t you the one who kept pulling me and not letting me go?”

Eudora was stunned and she asked, “What?”

“I came to wake you up around three o’clock but you dragged me all the way to the sofa…”

Eudora was speechless.

“Are you lying to me?”

“Why would I lie to you? You can ask Clint if you don’t believe me.”

“Was Clint here? Does he know too?”

Amos nodded, “You made a lot of noise just now….”

Eudora covered her face in embarrassment and she said, “Forget it, I’d better not ask. I haven’t been sleeping well recently. I’m sorry to have caused you trouble and I’ll be more careful in the future!”

“It’s okay!” Amos said very generously. “But it’s a little late now and I don’t think we could practice anymore. I’ll send you back!”

Eudora just realized that it was already dark outside.

“Oh no, Juju,” she gasped. She got up in a hurry but she accidentally grazed her bruise again. Amos held her quickly and said, “Don’t worry, I had already sent Clint over to pick Juju up when I noticed that you were sleeping.”

However, Eudora was still worried. She did not even think of refusing Amos when he offered to send her home.

As expected, she saw that Juju was safe and sound when she arrived home.  “I’ll head back first then!” Clint said immediately when he saw them.

Amos nodded. Unexpectedly, Eudora turned to him and said, “You should go back too. Thank you for today…”

Amos’s heart sank. Such an ungrateful little woman.

However, he still plastered a smile over his face and said, “No problem. I will pay attention, so that I won’t let you pull me again…”

“Amos!” Eudora immediately interrupted him. She knew that he was about to blurt out the fact that she had pulled him to sleep together. She had to interrupt him, especially when they were in front of Juju.

“What’s wrong?” Amos chuckled happily.

“I’m going to cook. Why don’t you stay for dinner? Clint should stay too…”

Clint wanted to nod instinctively. He had heard from Harley that Eudora’s cooking was very delicious. According to Harley, everyone would want to have a taste of it.

It was a pity that he had never had a chance to try it.

However, why did he suddenly feel a chill behind him? Clint instantly saw his boss giving him a cold look when he turned around.

He held back hurriedly and refused her offer.

“Oh, right. I just remembered that my mother had asked me to go home for dinner today! I’ll be going first! Goodbye!”

He had already left before Eudora could even speak.

Amos could not help but praise Clint, “He’s such a filial man.”

Eudora was speechless. Wasn’t Amos the one who scared Clint away?

Meanwhile, Juju ran over and hugged Amos’ thigh. “Uncle, shall we play some toys?”

Amos was taken aback and he asked, “What did you call me?”

Juju pursed her lips but did not speak. There was a trace of fear in her big eyes.

Amos remembered that night where he pushed her away when she called him ‘Daddy’. Juju must have been frightened back then.

He took Juju into his arms and apologized hoarsely, “I’m sorry Juju. It’s all my fault. I should not have said those words that night. Please forgive me, okay?”

Juju thinned her lips and nodded after a long while. “I forgive you! Uncle.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Juju forgave him but she no longer called him ‘Daddy’. Amos was indescribably disappointed but he eventually accepted the title.

He would work hard to get Juju to call him ‘Daddy’ again.

“Let’s play together then! What do you want to play?”

Amos left immediately after dinner.

He was lying on his bed, but he could not seem to fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. Were Eudora and Juju already asleep?

He had hurt them badly this time and he did not know when they would finally forgive him.

At the thought of this, he could no longer sleep, so he sat up on the bed. He recalled the cartoon that Eudora had told him in the afternoon and he got up to turn on the TV.

…

At the same time, Harley was going after that sly little girl again. However, he was very frustrated after being rejected for the third time.

What made him even more depressed was that she had called him a weakling after rejecting him.

He was Officer Louis, an important member of the police force. He had never stopped training his build, and he had muscles all over his body, so how could she call him a weakling?

That was intolerable! The third time was supposed to be the charm. He would not let it slide when he sees her the next time.

He got increasingly angry when he thought about it and he drove straight to the Clearwater Bay.

Amos had just switched on the TV when he heard screams coming from his door. “Amos, open the door!”

Amos immediately knew that it was Harley at the door. He went to open the door to let him in. He did not even spare Harley a look and went back to the TV to look for the cartoon.

Harley followed him. He sighed, “Sure enough, the singles are the saddest people in the world. You live in such a big house, yet it’s so empty!”

“One more word and I’ll make you leave!”

Harley was silent for a second and he said, “Where’s the alcohol? I’ll drink with you!”

“No! Get it yourself if you want to drink!”

“Tsk!” Harley ignored him and returned with a bottle of good wine. He sat beside Amos and drank the wine in big gulps.

“Amos, don’t you think that women are blind? How could someone say that I’m weak when I’m so perfect? Is there something wrong with her?”

Amos turned his head to look at Harley. He then said, “You’re too childish!”

Harley was at a loss for words. What childish? He was obviously a perfect man!

He sipped another mouthful of wine and watched as Amos flipped through the channels. “What on earth are you looking for? Don’t tell me that you’re looking for explicit content?”

He immediately sat up and said righteously, “It is my responsibility as an officer to deter pornography. If you have them, you must hand them over immediately.”

“Rubbish!” Amos rolled his eyes at him.

Amos felt a little depressed when he could not find the cartoon. He then handed the remote control to Harley. “I want to watch ‘Wolf and Sheep’. Help me look for the show on the TV.”

Harley immediately spat out the wine which he was sipping.

“What did you say you wanted to watch?”

Amos looked at him with disgust and said, “The ‘Wolf and Sheep!'”

“Wolf? Sheep?” Harley paused for two seconds and burst out laughing.

“Oh my God, what do we have here? I never thought that I would ever see you watching ‘Wolf and Sheep’ in my life. We have been through so much but look at what has become of you?”

“Get out if you don’t want to help me find it! I don’t have anything to say to someone without a wife and child like you!”

“You’re talking as if you still have a wife. Your wife has ignored you for a long time.”

“That’s still better than not having any. At least I still have a daughter! Her name is Juju and she’s very cute.”

Harley was annoyed by Amos’ statement. Ha, maybe it was time to wave goodbye to this horrible friend!
