One Night Stand With That Beggar

Even though Eudora felt that what Amos said was too arrogant,  she was still charmed by his candor.

Amos was indeed the most attractive when he was full of confidence!

At that moment, Amos turned to her and their eyes met. He immediately saw the admiration in her eyes. Amos could not help but frown and say, “Don’t look at me like that.”

Eudora was surprised. He added, “I wouldn’t be able to control myself if you keep looking at me like that.”

Eudora was speechless. What a jerk!

She quickly looked away. She then heard Amos talking to Juju, “Let’s change our performance a little bit. Shall we sing together?” Naturally, Juju had no objection!

“Sure!”

“Do you know how to sing?” Eudora could not believe her ears.

“We will know when we try!” As he said this, Amos quickly took out the lyrics which he had prepared. Then, he divided the parts.

Originally, it was Eudora’s idea for the three of them to solo the first three stanzas. Then, they would sing the final stanza together.

However, Amos thought that it was not interesting enough. He wanted to add ‘Jingle Bells’ at the beginning of the song, and then he would sing the last part with Eudora.

As for Juju, she could simply sing whatever she liked. She could sing ‘Jingle Bells’ or just simply play along with the music.

Juju found that it was very creative and she was very excited. “Mommy, I like it.”

Eudora did not have any other ideas, so she nodded and said, “Okay.”

After that, the family went through their performance silently again. The performance that was going on the stage ended shortly after.

Amos got up and he picked Juju up. “Let’s go.”

He went to talk to the band once they were backstage. The band consisted of youngsters and they liked challenges. They were very eager to try after hearing Amos’ idea.

The three of them went on stage.

A piece of clear and melodious music started playing in the background.

Shortly after, the gentle and crisp voice of a child rang clearly from the stage, “Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way…”

They were supposed to be singing the same song sung by the previous family. Therefore, everyone was discussing how boring it was to watch the same performance twice.

However, the voice immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

The chubby family from before suddenly laughed and the husband said, “They must be afraid of losing, so they changed the song last-minute, right?”

“I think so!”

The chubby child suddenly became arrogant and he said, “Mom, Dad, that means that we will surely get first place!”

Unexpectedly, the first part of ‘Jingle Bells’ slowly changed into the theme song of the ‘Wolf and Sheep’. However, this time, it was not a child’s voice but a duet between a man and a woman.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The man’s voice was low and magnetic while the woman’s voice was gentle and melodious. The two voices merged perfectly and produced a beautiful sound.

The man’s voice made the woman’s voice sound even gentler than ever while her voice complimented his voice. It was especially refreshing and exciting as the child’s ‘Jingle Bells’ could be heard in the background. The song was filled with warmth and it reminded the audience of their childhood.

The audience, who were previously bored, was now hooked to the performance. Someone couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s so creative!”

Another person in the crowd immediately shushed him and said, “Just listen.”

Even the chubby family was dumbfounded. They listened for a long time and they only came back to their senses after a long pause.

At the end of the performance, Juju suddenly took Eudora and Amos’ hands to form a heart shape to the audience. The two adults were next to each other, while the child was in the middle.

Then, the child went up to her parents and kissed them on their faces. It was simply adorable!

The audience was stunned for a long time and the applause that came after roared like thunder.

“It sounds so beautiful!”

“What a great performance!”

“This is the best adaptation I’ve ever seen this year.”

…

On the other hand, Eudora was still in shock when they went back to their seats. Meanwhile, the parents sitting in front and behind them started to approach them.

“Your family must have practiced really hard. Did you find a professional teacher to make this?

“No!” Eudora shook her head and said, “Yes…” Eudora wanted to say Amos’ name, but she did not want to cause him any trouble because his name was too well-known. Instead, she said casually, “Juju’s father thought of it.”

“Oh… your husband is so awesome and handsome. You must be very happy!”

Eudora forced a smile and said, “Thank you.”

“Don’t be so modest!”

A discordant voice suddenly rang through in the crowd. “Humph, what was that all about? They just mixed a few songs and now they think that they’re the best?”

“Yes, it’s not good at all. The song was not supposed to be like that!”

At the moment, all the performances had ended and the host began to announce the winner.

Only then did the chubby family keep their mouth shut and waited for the announcement.

Unsurprisingly, Eudora’s family won the first place while the chubby family got the second place.

After the host was done, he invited the families up on stage to receive the awards. The grand prize was a set of matching clothes for the parents and the child. It was by a famous brand and they could customize their own cartoon image on it.

It was the first time for Juju to win such a prize and she was very excited. She wanted to put her family’s face on it.

However, she realized that Amos was gone when she looked around the area. She quickly asked Eudora, “Mommy, where is uncle? Where did he go?”

“He went out to answer a call. What’s wrong?”

Juju heaved a sigh of relief and she said, “I just wanted to ask what kind of picture uncle would like.”

Their conversation was overheard by the chubby child. He wanted the grand prize all along but the prize for the second place was different.

At this moment, he immediately shouted.

“Teacher, she cheated. That man was not her father. They cheated!”

The teacher next to him was dumbfounded. She immediately said, “You can’t say something like that.”

“I’m not lying, it’s true. I just heard her call him uncle!”

The teacher was relieved. She thought that there might be a possibility that the parents had remarried, hence she smiled and said, “This has nothing to do with the result of the event. If you want that prize, then we will make it as the grand prize for our next event, okay?”

“No!” the chubby boy’s mother suddenly shouted.

“Teacher, isn’t it wrong? This is a family’s event, so how could they just ask someone else to fill in the spot?”

The teacher looked embarrassed and she said, “Madam, you can’t say that. The situation in everyone’s family is different!”

“What’s the difference? Could she be exempted just because she doesn’t have a father?”

The chubby mother’s words pierced through Juju’s heart, especially when there were so many children and parents looking at her. Juju’s body began to tremble.

Eudora realized that the situation was getting worse and she quickly hugged Juju.

“Don’t be scared, Juju! You have a father!”

The chubby woman was still unwilling to give up. “Since you have a father, you should wait until your father comes next time to get the prize. You should give up on the prize this time!”

She then reached out to grab the prize from Juju.

Eudora was furious and she immediately pushed her away. “What are you doing? It’s just a prize, do you have to do this to a child?”
