One Night Stand With That Beggar

Naomi called Eudora on her way back.

“Mom, I still have some work to do in the company, therefore I won’t go back. Don’t worry about me!”

Eudora sat in her room as she looked at Amos, who was packing up their belongings. When she heard Naomi’s words, she also told Naomi about her itinerary, “Your father and I are going to Cloud Island for a period of time. If you have anything urgent, you can directly go there to look for me, or call me.”

Cloud Island was an island of tranquility away from the bustling city. It was quite suitable for Eudora’s recuperation.

After the recent incident, Eudora had finally made up her mind.

Instead of letting the people who loved her worry about her, it was better for her to spend time convalescing and taking good care of herself, so that she could live on with her beloved family.

Naomi naturally had no objection to her parents’ plan.

“Okay!”

Through the phone, Naomi heard Eudora talk to Amos in a low voice.

“Please put my laptop into the bag…”

Amos rejected her request by saying, “No, I won’t allow you to bring it!”

“Amos, I…”

Naomi quickly made an excuse and hung up on the call.

…

Meanwhile, Eudora was expressing her grievances to Amos.

“I might be a patient, but I’m not a prisoner. Even if I have to recover from my illness, I still need my laptop for entertainment.”

“With me around, why do you even need entertainment? Don’t worry, I’ll keep you company.”

Eudora was at a loss for words.

“I want to play games on it.”

“No! You will start working once you touch your laptop. As a result, you’ll become absorbed, oblivious to the passage of time. Don’t think that I don’t know that. I won’t compromise on this matter.”

Eudora was rendered speechless. It happened that Cindy brought something into the room, hence Eudora quickly asked her for help, “Cindy, help me. He is so domineering.”

Amos asked, “Am I really domineering?” His voice was lower than usual.

Cindy instantly waved her hand and said, “I-I suddenly remember that I have to buy something for Charlie today. I’m going to buy it now.”

After that, she left immediately.

Again, Eudora was at a loss for words.

“You are domineering indeed. Look, you scared her away!”

Amos fell silent.

He slowly stepped forward and walked towards Eudora.

She subconsciously took a step back, saying, “What are you doing? Don’t you dare threaten me!”

Amos chuckled and said, “Didn’t you say that you want to play games? I’ll let you play!”

Eudora’s eyes lit up as she asked, “Really?”

“Yes. From now on, you can play with me!”

Eudora was bemused for a few seconds before she realized that he was actually flirting with her.

“You rascal!”

…

At the same time, Eddison and Rachel had arrived at Country M.

They got off the plane. Rachel carefully followed behind Eddison, who had not spoken a word to her during their flight.

Amos had instructed an assistant from the branch office to pick them up. The assistant helped them to put their luggage into the trunk of the car.

Meanwhile, the assistant explained, “Young Master, as Mr. Granger said, you are now married, so it’s not convenient for you to stay in the dormitory anymore. I have already rented an apartment not far from your school according to Mr. Granger’s orders. Starting from today, you can stay there.”

Eddison seemed to be apathetic about it as he replied, “You guys go back first. I have something to do and need to deal with it immediately!”

After that, he turned and was about to walk away without waiting for them to react.

Rachel pursed her lips and said, “Eddison!”

He stopped in his tracks.

There was a hint of impatience in his voice as he said, “Is there anything else?”

“Nothing. It’s just that you didn’t eat anything on the way here. I’m going to cook dinner. Remember to come back for it!”

“I might not be free.”

After that, he left.

The assistant seemed to have noticed something unusual between them, but as he was only an assistant, he couldn’t say anything either. He could only pretend as if he had not noticed anything.

“Young Madam, let’s go back!”

…

It was a small apartment with a decent environment, and it was not far from Eddison’s school. Moreover, it provided a haven of serenity amidst the town. There was a small garden in front and behind the apartment respectively. Furthermore, its layout was appealing too.

It was not until Rachel had entered the apartment that she found that it was a duplex apartment. Although it was not too spacious, it contained all the necessary facilities and furniture. It was a relatively secluded and low profile building, therefore they could have a peaceful life here.

The assistant helped Rachel to tidy up the things before he left.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Noticing that it was evening, Rachel took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and began to cook.

Even though she was born into a rich family, she had been learning how to cook from Bianca since she was a child. Bianca had told her that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach.

She managed to finish cooking everything, although the food might not be as tasty as the food cooked by a professional chef.

Eddison had not eaten anything along the way. Hence, she tried to prepare a light meal to avoid upsetting his stomach.

Unfortunately, he had not returned yet.

Seeing that it was getting dark, she called him. Her call went through, but it was rejected soon after.

Clenching her fist, she put down her phone.

Obviously, he didn’t want to answer her call.

…

Eddison went to Sierra’s ward in the hospital.

He had just put down his phone when Sierra, who was lying on the sickbed, opened her eyes.

Indisputably, she was elegant and pretty. It was no wonder that a young man like Eddison was deeply attracted to her.

With a grin, she stretched out her hand and stroked his head.

“You’re back at last. I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you again.”

Eddison was perturbed about her condition, “What are you talking about? Of course you’d see me again. How do you feel?”

Sierra replied, “I’m fine. It’s just that I must be horribly disfigured!”

She was smiling as she said that, her eyes gleaming and her dimples showing. She looked captivating indeed.

She was still joking during such a moment.

Eddison was moved by her optimism.

“No, you’re still as beautiful as ever.”

Sierra couldn’t help but laugh again, saying, “Eh? It turns out that you have learned how to comfort people. I’m very gratified to see that.”

He frowned and said, “I’m being serious! I’m sorry, I should have come back earlier to protect you.”

Sierra beamed at him, “Thank you, Eddie. I’m alright, and I feel better after seeing you. Maybe I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.”

“Yes, you will recover soon. Don’t worry!” he said in a low voice. Then, he turned around to look at the fruits on her bedside.

“I’ll peel an apple for you.”

Sierra didn’t say a word in regard to that.

Instead, she asked him, “Are you done dealing with your family’s affairs?”

“Yes, it’s settled.”

“That’s great! You won’t leave again within these few weeks, will you? I have a fan meeting sometime later, so remember to come and see me!”

“Fan meeting?” Eddison was thinking about the accident that had happened to Sierra. He was told by his friend that she had fallen down the stairs during such an event.

“Do you really want to start your career in the entertainment industry?”

Upon hearing that, Sierra was perplexed.

“Well, I’m not sure yet. It’s just an invitation from a producer. I feel like I shouldn’t refuse it out of courtesy. Truth be told, I prefer a more carefree lifestyle.”

He pursed his lips and said, “How about turning it down? I can do it for you.”

She was mystified for a moment before she began to size up Eddison.

He had always kept a low profile in school. Everyone thought that he came from an ordinary family. It was really strange for him to say such words.

She just took it as a joke, and she nodded casually.

“Sounds good to me!”

Seeing her reaction, he felt a little relieved. Then, he stretched his hand out, wanting to hand over the apple to her.

However, before he could do so, a man entered the ward. He was holding a bunch of roses in his hand. Eddison recognized him at once. He was locally well known for his wealthy family background.
