One Night Stand With That Beggar

Upon hearing this, Amos Granger frowned.

“I’m a little busy now.”

Eudora George pursed her lips, “Amos, why don’t you two get along?”

“Sorry, I’m a little tired,” After that, he got up and left with Juju still in his arms.

Eudora was a little exhausted too. She thought that it would be easy to persuade Amos. However, it turned out otherwise.

Back then, Amos had tried to mend her relationship with Gordon George when there was a heart knot between them. However, when it came to his own relationship with his father, he became so resistant. She was confused.

After tidying up the lower floor, Eudora then made her way upstairs. By then, Juju was already asleep.

Amos was leaning against the couch in the study room, holding a picture in his hand in a daze. When Eudora walked over, she saw him through the crack of the door.

However, he quickly put it away.

Eudora pretended not to see anything. She paused and said, “Do you want to take a bath? I bought some bath oils when I was out today. Soaking in them would definitely make you relax.”

Amos stood up and took her hand, “Let’s do it together then!”

…

Eudora shook her head hurriedly, “I still have some work to do. Please go ahead.”

In fact, Amos was not in the mood at all. He was just trying to keep his emotions to himself.

After Amos left, Eudora returned to the study and found the photo in the drawer. It was a young woman who looked like Amos. She was holding a little boy in her arms. She could tell that the baby was Amos. Although he was still very young, his face looked like the same as what he looked like now.

Was this why Amos had refused to see the Old Master? Because of his mother?

There was another photo behind it. It was a photo of the Old Master and Amos. It was not from his childhood but from a few years ago.

Amos was sitting in a wheelchair and the Old Master stood behind him, but his eyes looked sad. However, this was only for the camera, because in real life, the Old Master and Amos were the kinds of people who did not like to express their feelings. The Old Master would never look at Amos like that.

Whatever the case was, the father-son duo obviously still cared for each other. However, neither of them wanted to break the ice.

Eudora looked at it for a while and placed the photo back in its original place.

Back in the room, Amos had just gotten out of the bathroom. As soon as Eudora entered the room, she felt a wet chest pressing against her back as he hugged her from behind.

“Eudora, I don’t want you to worry about me.”

Eudora shook her head, “No, I’m not worried about you. I just hope that you’d listen to your heart. Deep down, I know you’re very worried about the Old Master. Why don’t you spend some time with him now that he is still alive?”

Amos frowned, “I thought that I could forgive him, but whenever I come close to forgiving him, I would suddenly think of my mother. I still remember the way she looked before she died. She was lying alone on a small bed in the slum, and she was almost skinny. Before she died, she held his photo, and missed the one that she treasured all her life. However, he never came to see her. Doctor Leon told me that my mother lied when she told him that she didn’t love him. Nevertheless, he found me after Hank died. This shows that he only cares about the power of the Granger family…”

So that was what happened. Eudora reached out and placed a comforting hand on his back.

“It’s all in the past. Many times, you would have to learn to forgive others and yourself. Otherwise, life would be very tiring. No matter what, Juju and I will forever be by your side.”

The man lowered his head and kissed her lips, gradually dragging her into endless turbulence.

…

The next day, Eudora went to take care of the Old Master as promised.

While she was still at the door, she heard the Old Master ask, “Why isn’t she here yet? Why does she always have to make me wait for her?”

The servant said helplessly, “Miss George may have other important things to attend to in the morning. She’ll be here soon….”

Hearing this, Eudora stepped into the room.

When the Old Master saw Eudora, he subconsciously looked behind her. However, his face immediately sank when he saw no sign of Amos or Juju.

“You lied to me!”

Eudora smiled and said, “I may have promised you, but I didn’t say when it would happen. I will keep my word. Don’t worry.”

After that, she reached out and took the plate from the servant’s hand, “Come. I’ll feed you.”

The Old Master was anxious and he said, “No. I want you to bring them here now.”

“It’s not that easy. But after you’re done with your meal, I could take you to see the maple leaves. I heard that the maple leaves are  red and beautiful this year. Standing among the maple leaves is like standing in a sea of flowers…”

The Old Master seemed very intrigued. He really didn’t know that such a place existed in Rosaville City.

The men of the Granger family all studied abroad since they were young. He was no different. He grew up in a strict household. Once he was old enough, his parents had arranged for him to go abroad. When he returned to the country, he immediately took over Valiant East.

For so many years, in addition to meeting with clients, he was either in a meeting or busy traveling back and forth between Valiant East and his home.

He didn’t even get to go on honeymoon with Bethany Hamilton.

Just like that, time flew.

Seeing that the Old Master was lost in thought, Eudora smiled and said, “You really want to go, don’t you?”

The Old Master frowned, “Haha, since you had described it like that, how could I not go?”

Eudora smiled and said, “I mean, you could always say no if you’re not up for it. Then I’ll go ahead and check it out by myself.”

“How dare you!” the Old Master’s temper flared, “Don’t think that I’m easy to fool! Do you think that I’m Juju?”

Eudora burst into laughter, “You’re even harder to please than Juju.”

Her original plan was to bring Old Master there, so she instructed the servants to make the necessary arrangements. The Old Master seemed a little happy. It was quite rare for him not to throw a tantrum when he was about to go out.

All the servants felt as though the sun had risen from the west.

As usual, she arranged for a lot of people to come with them. Eudora then took the Old Master to the west side of Rosaville City. This area was very mountainous and the scenery was beautiful. Furthermore, there were red maple leaves everywhere as she had mentioned.

The sight of the maple leaves could make one relaxed and happy. The Old Master seemed in awe of the scenery in front of him.

Eudora did not rush him. Seeing this, she said, “Why don’t we have a barbecue lunch? There is a barbeque pit nearby. After lunch, you could rest for a bit.”

The Old Master did not reject nor did he agree, and instead, he replied with his usual arrogance.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You are the one who brought me here. You should decide!”

Eudora was speechless. The Old Master was really infuriating at times. The servant next to him suddenly felt flustered, “Miss George, so, what should we do?”

Eudora smiled and said, “Don’t you understand what he means?”
