One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos Granger didn’t notice the change on Eudora’s face. He called Harley Louis right away, “I’ve done my part. I hope things are going well on your side. Remember, do not put the Old Master in danger.”

After he hung up the call, Eudora George leaned against his shoulder.

“If I had known earlier, I would have brought a book along.”

Amos immediately produced a book from behind him and said, “It’s the type of architecture book that you enjoy reading.”

Eudora was speechless.

She took it from him and flipped through it. He wasn’t lying.

She couldn’t help but ask, “What about my computer?”

Amos turned around and retrieved Eudora’s computer from the pile of things that the servant had packed earlier. He handed it to her, “Your computer.”

This was amazing!

Eudora turned on the computer, looked back at him, and asked again.

“What about…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Amos had already brought Eudora’s favorite snack out and handed them to her, “Your chips.”

Eudora stared at Amos in amazement, “How did you know?”

Amos laughed and said, “You mentioned that I am perfect in your eyes, so don’t you think that I should at least know what you like?”

What he didn’t tell her was that he would spend all his time at Clearwater Bay thinking about her when she was away all those many years.

Thinking about what she was doing.

Thinking about what she would be doing in the next minute.

Anticipating her wants had been a part of his life since the beginning, so how could he not know?

The serious look on his face made Eudora’s heart ache. She reached out and hugged him, acting like a spoiled child in his arms.

“Looks like you are the best thing I could have in this world.”

After that, she let him go and began to study the designs carefully.

Amos also took out his phone and started to reply to his emails.

…

As soon as Harley walked in, he clicked his tongue.

“What a harmonious sight! It looks like your wife really is obedient!”

Amos rolled his eyes at him and said, “Just do what you came to do!”

Harley didn’t get mad. He went straight to the old man’s bed and placed something under it, “All done!”

After that, he turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, Harley turned back and reminded Amos sneakily, “This camera is really advanced. Both of you better not do anything dirty. I don’t want to see anything that I shouldn’t see!”

Eudora was speechless.

Amos threw a pillow at him and shouted, “Get out!”

The night passed by peacefully. The Old Master didn’t wake up and nothing else occurred either.

…

Eudora woke up early the next morning. She went to look at the Old Master as soon as she woke up. He looked the same and showed no signs of waking up.

She sighed and went to freshen herself up. As soon as she was done, Bethany Hamilton arrived.

Harry Granger and the rest walked in behind her. As soon as they entered the ward, Harry rushed to the bedside.

“Brother, I’m here to see you!”

He called out a few more times, but there was no response. Then, he turned to look at Amos.

“What’s going on? Didn’t you say that he woke up? He is still asleep!”

Bethany frowned and said, “Stop it! Didn’t I tell you that your brother woke up for a few seconds and then fell into sleep? The doctor said that he should wake up within the next few days. I told you not to come but you insisted.”

Harry said with a sigh, “How could I not come? He is my elder brother.”

After that, he talked to the Old Master for a while.

“Don’t worry, brother. We have already called the police. I’m sure that they’ll get to the bottom of this. You have to wake up. We need you in this family.”

After that, he glanced at Eudora.

“Brother, I know you have been through much in life, but there’s still a possibility of you misjudging people. This time, you were betrayed by one of your own…”

Bethany thought that he was crossing the line, hence, she quickly butted in, “Stop it. Didn’t we already agree that we would stop talking about all these? I’ll wipe him down.”

Seeing this, Amos said, “I still have work to tend to at the office. I’ll head back with Eudora first!”

Harry didn’t want to stay any longer either, so he bid them goodbye and left.

When they got outside, Eudora didn’t want to go back to the Granger family mansion, so she asked Amos to drop her at Clearwater Bay instead.

Auntie Valerie was home. Eudora hadn’t been back here for a bit and the whole lawn was filled with flowers.

Seeing the flowers, Eudora’s mood lifted. If the three of them could live here every day, their lives would be way more pleasant.

Sadly, this was something that she could only dream about. After all, she knew the consequences of staying with Amos.

…

At Valiant East, Harley walked into his office just as Amos arrived at the company.

He scanned his surroundings the moment he stepped into the office. He didn’t smile until he noticed Eudora’s absence.

“I thought you and Eudora were inseparable. Why isn’t she here?”

“Does Thea know about what you did last time? I’ll be very happy to share it with her.”

“Please don’t!” Harley immediately gave in, “Alright alright, I won’t bring it up anymore, okay?”

“Hmph!” Amos lowered his head, “So, what brings you here?”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh, yes. Didn’t you say yesterday that you thought the servant who disappeared must have escaped in one of the two cars? I checked the trunk of both cars and as you suspected, she escaped in the trunk of the car that was used to send the Old Master to the hospital! There was a strand of hair inside and I’ve sent it to the lab for testing. If the hair belongs to the servant, then we could find out her identity!”

Amos nodded and said, “Yes! You’d better keep an eye on the hospital. I’m worried that someone might make a move.”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ve already asked my men to keep a lookout!”

Upon hearing this, Clint Zuckerberg was stunned, “Was there a missing servant? Why is this beginning to look like some paranormal event?”

“I know right? The Granger family is really scary. Only someone like Eudora would want to marry into it. If I were a woman, the first thing I would do is stay away from this family.”

Amos rolled his eyes at him and said, “Nobody will think that you’re mute if you don’t speak, you know.”

Unfortunately, Harley was a man who did not give up easily.

“Eudora has suffered so much. Without 999 roses, there’s no way you could comfort her broken heart!”

Clint thought to himself, “Mr. Louis, you’re being overdramatic. There’s no way President Granger would give her 999 roses. That’s too grandiose.”

Unexpectedly, Amos ordered immediately, “Clint, order 999 roses and send them to Clearwater Bay now.”

Clint was taken aback.

Harley nodded with satisfaction, “Okay, I won’t say anything more. I’m going to look for Thea.”

Clint was surprised again, “You’ve been with her for half a month already, haven’t you? Isn’t she the longest girlfriend you’ve had so far?”

Harley nodded and said, “And I will always be with her.”

Clint was shocked once again.

This was indeed a miracle. Amos, who had once thought of women as aliens, had found a girl five years ago and was about to send 999 roses to her. And Harley, the playboy was actually talking about spending the rest of his life with one woman.

“Love is truly a scary thing!”
