One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos knocked on the door and Eudora’s voice came from the room.

“This is our room. Go back to your room!”

Amos burst into laughter. The little fox was really angry.

At this moment, Juju was playing with her toys in the room and she did not notice anything. She did not even realize that Eudora’s cheeks had gotten even redder after returning to the room.

Why did that jerk suddenly mention their past?

Amos’ voice came from outside the door again. Unlike just now, his voice was now a little sad and bitter.

“The key to my room is in the wallet that I had given to you this afternoon. You won’t let me stay outside for the night, would you?”

Eudora then came back to her senses. She hurried to look for the key in his wallet. Yet, she could not find it and she said, “Your key is not in the wallet!”

“It must be in your room then!”

Eudora searched everywhere in the room but she still could not find it. She forgot about the embarrassing situation momentarily because she was too immersed in looking for the key. She then walked to the door and open it.

“Come in and find it yourself…”

In a split second, a hand suddenly reached in and pulled her out from the room. Eudora was taken aback and before she knew it, she was immediately pressed against the wall by the man.

A passionate kiss ensued.

They might have been together every day but it was a long time since they were intimate. Back then, they had only slept together because he had been drugged.

Amos’ kiss was forceful and impulsive.

Eudora slowly came to her senses and she instinctively tried to push him away. However, her efforts only made him even more aggressive. He locked her arms with his and pressed them against the wall.

Immediately, she went from being oppressed to a lamb being led to the slaughterhouse, where he could slowly taste her.

She could feel his tongue slithering freely in her mouth.

Finally, Amos released her when she was almost out of breath. She took a deep breath but her legs felt like jelly.

She turned to run, but to her surprise, she stumbled and fell into Amos’ arms.

She heard the man’s muffled laughter and he said, “Where are you going, little woman?”

Eudora then realized that she had been tricked. “You didn’t lose your key, did you!?”

“If I hadn’t done this, would you have come out? What should I do if you leave again?”

Eudora looked up and met his serious eyes and her embarrassment dissipated immediately. She blurted out, “I won’t leave.”

“Daddy, I’m not leaving either!” Juju suddenly appeared and startled Eudora.

Eudora pushed Amos away hurriedly and said, “We won’t leave.”

After that, Amos followed the two into the bedroom. Eudora was at a loss for words.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

…

The next day, Eudora heard voices coming from the outside when she woke up. She recalled that they were going to the shrine today, so she hurriedly got up and helped Juju get ready.

The three of them then made their way downstairs.

The Old Master and Bethany had already gotten into the car whilst Harry Granger and Kaylene Yoder had arranged for a driver. Meanwhile, Amos took Eudora and Juju with him and the three of them followed after the rest of the Granger family.

The shrine on the mountain was actually the one on the West Hill. Eudora and Amos had come to this place before many years back.  Back then, Harry’s dirty tricks had been exposed by the Old Master at this very place and he was removed from the company since then.

Yet, after so many years, this place did not seem to have changed. It looked the same as it was before.

They had already made reservations for the session, so the ceremony began once all of them arrived.

The Old Master gave the order and they started with the commemoration.

Old Master Granger was not in a good mood and he stared at the memorial tablet blankly for the whole time. On the other hand, Bethany was very sad and she had been crying ever since she entered. Harry and Kaylene were standing next to her and comforting her.

After a while, Bethany stopped crying and wiped her tears away.

Then, she turned towards Eudora and Amos, “Why don’t you come and pay Hank your respects?”

It was inevitable since they were already here. So, they went up to the altar. Bethany then said, “I want to stay here for a while. Feel free to go for a walk if you feel like it. The scenery here is not too bad.”

Kaylene immediately said, “Bethany, I’ll stay here with you!”

Harry then accompanied Old Master Granger out and said that they were going for a walk.

Juju was still a child so she became a little restless after staying in the same place for a long time. Therefore, Eudora and Amos took Juju out too.

They strolled in the courtyard for a while and they realized that the trees there were much taller than they were five years ago. However, apart from that, nothing else seemed to have changed.

Eudora could not help but recall what had happened years ago when the two of them were here.

At this moment, the butler rushed over and shouted, “Young Master, something is off. You must go and have a look!”

Amos and Eudora were both taken aback but they quickly turned around to return to the shrine.

In the main hall, the commemoration had been completed and most of the people had left. The hall became extremely spacious after everyone left.

As soon as they entered, they saw Bethany crying with a child in her arms. A woman stood beside her and the woman was in tears as well.

Bethany cried for a long time before she finally let go of the child to look at the woman.

“Tell me, what’s going on? Why did you abandon Hank back then?”

The woman shook her head frantically and explained, “It’s not like that. I didn’t abandon Hank back then. Hank was the one who told me to wait for him at the pier with a locket. He knew that I was pregnant and we agreed to start a new life together abroad. Yet, after waiting there for the entire night, he did not show up. I only knew that he was dead afterward. I was afraid that you would force me to abort my child, so I ran away.”

Old Master Granger frowned, “Since you had run away back then, then why are you here now?”

The woman sobbed even harder, “My child is growing up and he is beginning to be curious about his father. I wanted Hank’s bloodline to continue, that was why I came back. I don’t want anything. I just hope that you would allow Hank and me to get married, even if it’s just Hank’s memorial tablet.”

Bethany’s heart was jabbed by the woman’s words and she wept mournfully.

Eudora and Amos glanced at each other. What was going on? Was the boy, Hank’s child?

Harry said hurriedly, “Brother, it doesn’t look like it’s fake…”

Old Master Granger frowned and he called his assistant, “Take this child for a paternity test!”

Harry immediately said, “But, Hank is already…”

The Old Master ignored Harry and pulled out a strand of hair from his head. Then, he turned to pull another strand of hair from the child’s head and handed it to his assistant. “Do the paternity test!”

Harry nodded and said, “Yes, everything will be clear once we prove that he’s a child of the Granger family! However, I’m afraid that the test might take some time. Brother, why don’t I find a place for them to settle down first?”

Old Master Granger glanced at Bethany, who was full of tears, “That’s not necessary. Take them back with us. We’ll know once the report comes out.”

The commemoration for Hank Granger ended in such a note. They had gone to the mountains with seven people but they returned home with nine people.

The pair was arranged to live on the first floor in the red building that Eudora, Amos, and Juju were staying in.
