One Night Stand With That Beggar

The room was empty and the lights were not switched on.

Only a glimmer of light coming in from the door reflected on Amos’ back. Eudora sighed and slowly walked over and hugged him from behind.

“Amos, you still have me and Juju.”

Amos’ back stiffened for a moment. After a while, he responded, “Hmm”.

“Let’s pack!”

The Old Master did not have many belongings. They were all brought and kept in boxes. He only brought some clothes as well as some of his daily necessities.

Now, they were all relics.

When she was cleaning the Old Master’s bed, she saw a notebook under the pillow as she removed the pillowcase.

Eudora picked it up casually. When she was about to put it in the box, a photo from the notebook fell out.

It was a photo of Amos and a young woman. The woman’s eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Amos’. She was probably Amos’ mother.

Out of curiosity, Eudora opened the notebook. She only read two lines and tears started welling up in her eyes.

“Amos…”

Amos Granger came over and found the notebook in Eudora’s hand.

That notebook, strictly speaking, was actually a to-do-list.

Each wish was written line by line.

To have a meal with my son.

To play basketball with my son.

To ride the roller coaster with my son.

To play chess with my son.

To play games with my son.

All of them were checked, except for the roller coaster ride.

That explained why he had suddenly wanted to ride a roller coaster on that day. It was because he wanted to grant Amos’ childhood wishes.

Eudora used to think that as a father, the Old Master was very indifferent and perhaps, even a little selfish. He would always do such outrageous things for the sake of his family.

However, at this moment, she could feel the love of a father.

It seemed as though he was filled with regret toward the end of his life.

Eudora sniffled and looked at Amos, “Are you okay?”

Amos smiled faintly, “Well, what else could I say? Don’t you think that it’s a little too late to do this now?”

After that, he went out with the notebook in his hand.

“Don’t follow me.”

Eudora stopped in her tracks. She wiped her tears away and began to pack again.

She went out of the room after everything was done. At first glance, she saw Amos sitting alone on the ground at the end of the corridor, flipping through the notebook pages.

She couldn’t hear anything, but she could clearly see that Amos’ shoulders were trembling rapidly.

Eudora brought a coat with her solemnly. When she approached Amos, she heard his low and hoarse voice, “Dad…”

Eudora’s eyes were red, and she didn’t dare to walk over.

Amos was the head of the Granger family. He had deliberately walked out of the room because he didn’t want her to see his weak side.

Therefore, at this time, she knew that she could give him some space to grieve.

After thinking for a while, she walked back to the door. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Juju standing there with bare feet as she stared at Amos.

“Is Daddy crying?”

Eudora wiped the corner of her eyes hurriedly, squatted down, and hugged Juju, “No, Daddy isn’t crying.”

“But his shoulders are shaking…”

Children were very smart and sensitive. Juju knew a lot of things.

“Daddy is just under too much pressure!” Eudora tried to build a strong father image of Amos for Juju.

Juju nodded and said, “I see. I will be obedient in the future so that Daddy would not suffer!”

“Good girl…” Eudora held Juju in her arms.

That night, none of them could fall asleep. Amos sat outside quietly, whilst Eudora and Juju lay on the bed in the room. They all stayed up all night.

…

At the Granger Mansion at Rosaville City.

Bethany Hamilton sat in the room with red and swollen eyes, looking at the Old Master’s belongings over and over again.

Vincent Granger sat next to her, his face full of worry.

“Grandma, what are you looking for?”

Bethany ignored him and continued looking through the Old Master’s stuff. In the end, she couldn’t find anything. Instead, she found a photo frame, in which there was a woman who looked similar to Amos.

All of a sudden, she burst into laughter, and she looked very ferocious.

“Hahaha! Ridiculous, I’m so ridiculous.”

Vincent was frightened and he took a step back subconsciously, “Grandma, don’t do that. I’m scared.”

Bethany snorted, “Who do you think you are? How dare you say that you are afraid?”

Vincent had always been timid, but now, his hair stood on end.

“Grandma…”

“Don’t call me that. Don’t think that I don’t know anything. Do you think I couldn’t recognize my own children? Don’t lie to me. You are all bad people. Get out!”

She threw the photo frame out. Vincent dodged it hurriedly, and the picture frame fell directly to the ground and shattered to pieces.

Bethany laughed again and finally collapsed to the floor.

She remembered the first day when she got married into the Granger family. How could she forget? Of course, she would not forget.

She firmly remembered every word Old Master Granger had told her.

She even remembered she was filled with expectations that day. She hoped that the handsome and refined Young Master of the Granger family would like her and spend the rest of his life with her.

However, at the end of the day, she sat alone in an empty room on their wedding night.

It hurt her deeply, but she still told herself that it didn’t matter. She convinced herself that her groom just couldn’t accept such an agreement at the moment. They still had a lifetime ahead of them, so she was willing to wait.

“Let’s wait a little longer until he finally accepts it.”

Hence, she tried her best to do everything to become worthy of the title of Mrs. Granger. She thought that one day, he would find out that she was good for him.

However, in the end, all she got was a divorce paper. He told her cruelly that he fell in love with someone else and wanted to divorce her.

At that time, she wanted to tell him that she had liked him ever since she first laid eyes on him.

However, pride made her swallow all those words back. In order to leave a good final impression of herself, she agreed.

Unexpectedly, his father found out about the divorce paper the next day.

Later, it was his father who separated him and that woman. Their relationship gradually deteriorated.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, he was drunk and he thought she was that woman. They finally had their first-time sex life.

She naively thought he would have cared for her more after finally consummating their marriage. However, things were still the same.

In his heart, he still cared about that woman. He even wanted to elope with her a month later.

At that time, Bethany realized that she had gotten pregnant.

She wanted to stop him from leaving, but he had already left before she could even say it.

However, he was caught back in the end.
