One Night Stand With That Beggar

At Clearwater Bay. Naomi felt on edge and unsettled the whole night, and she couldn’t fall asleep.

Early in the morning, when she saw Eudora bringing Cola out for a stroll, she also followed behind them.

Eudora could tell that something was wrong with her at a glance. So, she asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen to your work?”

Naomi shook her head as she tried to deny, “No! Somehow, I’m just in a bad mood.”

Eudora thought that Eddison’s wedding had triggered her to recall the engagement between Nelson and her, so she tried to comfort her casually.

“Let bygones be bygones. We have to look forward to the future, don’t we?”

Naomi answered softly, “I understand.”

Eudora said with a smile, “No, you don’t! The only way to truly forget about something is to face it calmly. It’ll only become a part of your past once you’re able to remain unruffled when you think about it.”

After Eudora finished speaking, she handed Cola to Naomi.

“Bring Cola to play for a while. I’m going to take my medicine.”

Naomi was curious. She asked, “Mom, you’ve been paying attention to your health lately. What changed you?”

Eudora asked impishly, “What do you think?”

“Dad? Ah, I should have known!”

It didn’t take long for Naomi to come to a realization. It went without saying that the only person who could influence Eudora was Amos.

After Eudora left, Naomi bent down and stroked Cola’s head.

“You’re living a good life! You don’t have to worry about anything.”

Her phone rang again, and Naomi answered the call. It was still from Rosaville Prison, and it was about Nelson.

“His body hasn’t been in good condition mainly because he’s been suffering mentally. He’s unwilling to cooperate with us to receive treatment. We hope that you can show him some care out of humanitarianism.”

She heard the phrase ‘humanitarianism’.

Naomi thought such a word was amusing. However, Eudora was right.

She should face things calmly, instead of avoiding it.

She complied with their request by making an appointment.

“I will go as soon as possible!”

…

Rachel was waiting at the entrance of the office.

She had arrived at nine o’clock in the morning. She had been waiting for almost an hour, but Eddison was nowhere to be seen.

At 9:40 a. m., she received a call from Bianca.

“How is it going? Have you arrived at the Ministry of Civic Affairs?”

Rachel looked at the empty street around before she replied to Bianca.

“Yes, I have!”

“That’s great! Did you bring all your documents? Don’t leave anything out! Remember, the best time is ten o’clock, don’t miss it!”

Rachel said softly, “Mom, you’re being a little too superstitious. This isn’t in line with your identity as a noble lady.”

Bianca was always talking about manners and identity in daily life, thus Rachel was making fun of her.

Bianca seemed to feel joyful recently as Rachel’s words failed to irk her.

“Whatever! The tarot card master told me that as long as you register on time, the love between you two will continue to grow. I want to see you be blessed with happiness. That’s my only wish as a mother.”

She looked at the clock. It was 9:59 a. m.!

Bianca urged her, “Alright, it’s almost time. I’ve asked someone to queue up for you. Now, go!”

After that, she directly hung up on the call.

Rachel looked intently at the entrance, but Eddison was not there.

One of the servants from the Gellert family, who had been queuing up for her, came up to her.

“Young Madam, the people behind us are urging us. Should I keep saving a spot for you?”

Rachel looked at the clock again. It was five minutes past ten o’clock.

“Forget it, let someone else do it!”

After all, she had already missed the right time.

…

When Rachel arrived home, it was already past one o’clock in the afternoon. In fact, she wanted to ask Eddison what was going on, but she couldn’t get through his phone.

She thought that perhaps he didn’t want to do it.

At the gates of the Granger Mansion, Aldred came out from the mansion immediately as soon as she got out of the car.

“Young Madam, please persuade Young Master Eddison. He suddenly decided to leave, and we can’t persuade to stay.”

Rachel was startled, and she ran in hastily.

Eddison had booked an airline ticket and packed up his luggage.

Seeing that she was back, he said, “A friend of mine had an accident, hence I have to leave now.”

Upon hearing that, Rachel didn’t bother to ask about his absence from the register office. She said to Aldred right away, “Go and get the car ready!”

Aldred hesitated, “Young Madam, but this…”

It was the second day of their marriage, yet Eddison already wanted to leave. Furthermore, they had not notified Amos and Eudora. Therefore, Aldred was quite hesitant about such a decision.

Rachel naturally knew what was in his mind. After all, Bianca had taught her the way to communicate with people with different social statuses.

“I’ll explain it to Dad and Mom in person later. Just go prepare a car for him!”

Aldred left and made the preparations at once. He said, “All right then!”

Only then did Eddison remember that Rachel should have just returned from the register office. He wanted to apologize to her, but on second thoughts, he felt that she had it coming.

He had already made himself very clear, nevertheless she had still chosen to do so.

In addition, news of his senior, Sierra, perturbed him greatly at present. His friends had informed him that Sierra had fallen down the stairs when she had gone out to participate in an event.

As a result, he had not said anything to Rachel regarding his absence.

The preparations were soon completed, but Aldred had also called Amos to ask for permission. When they were about to leave, Clint arrived.

“President Granger said that you can leave, but there’s one condition. You have to go back and say goodbye to Mrs. Granger first. She isn’t in good health, so don’t make her worry about you.”

Eddison looked at his watch.

Before Eddison said anything, Clint quickly added, “You’ll make it in time. I’ve already calculated everything.”

Only then did Eddison nod and get into the car.

Just as Clint was about to close the car door, he turned to look at Rachel.

“Young Madam, please come with us!”

After arriving at Clearwater Bay, Eddison told Eudora that he needed to go back to school to settle an issue there. Eudora nodded upon hearing him say so.

“However, I’m concerned that you’re not being fair to Rachel. Sugar Bun, you two have just gotten married, yet you’re leaving already.”

Rachel was perplexed. “Sugar Bun?” she asked.

“Yes! Don’t you know that it’s Eddison’s nickname? Isn’t it cute?”

Undeniably, Eudora was well protected. Even though she had aged, she was still young at heart.

Rachel couldn’t help but snicker.

Clint hurriedly said, “Madam, don’t worry. Young Madam Rachel is going as well.” As he said so, he took out another airline ticket and handed it to Rachel.

Eddison knitted his brows and said, “Doesn’t she have her own business to take care of? What if-”

He was interrupted by Eudora before he could finish his words.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Rachel is a designer. Why can’t she go? As a designer, she can do her work anywhere. I think it’s good for her to go along with you. A married couple should stick together!”

Rachel nodded as she was willing to accompany Eddison.

To their surprise, Eudora asked, “Have you registered your marriage?”
