One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos then asked, “Why don’t you eat something first? You haven’t eaten anything for two days. How would you have the strength to bring Juju out to play if you don’t eat?”

Only then did Eudora nod. Amos got up immediately and said, “I’ll get some food for you.”

He didn’t stop smiling until he got out of the door.

Downstairs, Harley was playing with Juju. Juju was a little distracted, probably still thinking about Eudora’s reaction just now.

When she saw Amos making his way downstairs, she quickly put down the things in her hands and ran over.

“Daddy, how is Mommy?” Juju asked.

“She’s okay!” Amos replied. “She’s just famished. I’m going to take something for her to eat. Why don’t you bring the food up for Mommy?”

Juju nodded immediately. “Okay!”

Auntie Valerie had already prepared some food when she came back. When she heard them, she took out a plate and served the food right away.

“Come on, Juju. I’ll accompany you upstairs,” Auntie Valerie said.

After Auntie Valerie left, Amos went to see Doctor Leon.

“Have you contacted the psychiatrist yet? ” Amos asked.

Doctor Leon was stunned. “Are you sure?”

Amos could not make up his mind at first, but now, Eudora was adamant to leave him. Given her current condition, he couldn’t possibly let her go.

With her personality, if she could overcome it by herself, she would not choose to leave. Since she had made up her mind, it meant that she could not overcome it.

She couldn’t overcome it even when they were supporting her. When she was alone, she would probably give up on herself.

He couldn’t let her go on like this…

He nodded and said, “I’m sure!”

Doctor Leon sighed, “Alright then! I’ve contacted him. I’ll call him if you’re sure that you need it…”

“Call him and prepare everything in advance. Wait for my notice,” Amos ordered.

After that, he went upstairs.

Eudora had already had dinner with Juju, but she only had two bites and there were a lot of leftovers on the plate. When Amos went over, they were lying on the bed reading a book.

Juju held a picture book and was reading it. Eudora sat next to her and looked at her kindly, but she still kept a distance from her.

It was such a small distance that it would make one’s heart ache.

Amos walked over and sat down next to Juju. He subconsciously pushed Juju nearer to Eudora.

Eudora had nowhere to hide and she finally leaned onto Juju.

She stretched her hand out hesitantly. When she saw that Juju was her usual self, only then did she feel at ease. She put her hand on Juju’s shoulder and helping her fix her hair.

The three of them read for the whole afternoon and almost finished reading all the picture books from before.

Juju slept in Eudora’s room that night. However, the little girl was a little fussy. She wanted to listen to bedtime stories.

Eudora then casually told a story about Snow White.

When she said that Snow White’s stepmother gave Snow White a poisonous apple, she blinked her eyes and moved closer to Eudora.

“Mommy, I don’t want a stepmother,” Juju said.

Eudora paused for a moment and didn’t know what to say.

If possible, no one would want her child to have a stepmother?

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Juju asked again, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing…” Eudora sniffed. “I’m fine. In fact, a stepmother is not necessarily a bad person. The story is only part of it.”

“I still wouldn’t want a stepmother. I love both Daddy and Mommy. Mommy, didn’t you promise me that you will send me to practice marksmanship when I grow up? You can’t go back on your word!”

Eudora pursed her lips. “Okay! Go to sleep!”

After that, she lay there with her eyes open. She did not sleep for the whole night.

She didn’t know whether she had made the wrong decision. Perhaps, she was wrong. However, she couldn’t bear to hurt Juju’s whole life just because she was not willing to give up on her for a moment.

…

Eudora got up at dawn.

She took the time to dress up. after washing up. Juju woke up after a while. When Eudora was cleaning herself, she looked at Eudora curiously and asked, “Mommy, why did you clean yourself so many times?”

Eudora’s fingers paused, and then she shook her head. “It’s nothing. Didn’t you say last night that you wanted to learn marksmanship? Mommy will take you there today.”

Juju was stunned with her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

“Really?” Juju asked.

“Really!” Eudora nodded. “But you have to listen to the coach. You can’t do whatever you want. Moreover, you are young, so you won’t get a real gun!”

“I know, I know,” Juju responded.

Amos had no objection to this. As long as Eudora was happy, he was willing to let her do anything.

When they went out, Eudora took her hat and mask with her and wore them.

Juju was stunned. “Mommy, why are you being so secretive all of a sudden?” she asked.

In fact, Eudora had never been open to other people.

Amos understood her, and he took out a hat for a man and a little girl. “Let’s wear it too. That way, anyone could tell that we’re a family!”

Juju instantly smiled and answered, “Daddy is right. We do look like a family!”

At this moment, Harley interjected, “Eudora, could I ask Thea to come along?”

In fact, his idea was very simple. He wanted to liven up the atmosphere. If Eudora could overcome the trauma by herself, then they did not need to take the last step.

Eudora didn’t say a word and merely fell silent.

Amos frowned right away and rebuked, “If you want to hang out with Thea, why don’t you guys go and play by yourself? Don’t disturb us.”

Harley didn’t know what to say.

Eudora began to get nervous when they were on their way there, especially when she saw a lot of people outside. She was no longer the confident and optimistic woman she used to be.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Eudora, who had become overcautious, kept her head lowered and tried to hide.

Amos sent a message to Clint Zuckerberg.

“I’ll give you half an hour to reserve the club.”

Clint went to deal with it instantly. When Eudora and Amos arrived, there was really no one inside, not even a fly.

Seeing that no one was around, Eudora finally relaxed a little.

Later, Amos arranged for the coach to practice marksmanship with Juju. Juju was really fond of guns, thus she soon got along well with the coach.

They had guns specially for children, so Juju enjoyed herself so much that she didn’t think of leaving.

Amos stood by Eudora’s side and asked suddenly, “Let me teach you, okay?”

Eudora lowered her head and was completely immersed in her own world.

The next second, Amos had already held her hand, and his fingertips were cold. Eudora struggled to get rid of him, but Amos had already pulled her to the front of the target.

“Come on. I’ll teach you how to shoot.”

“I don’t want to learn…”

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to come out and play with Juju? Look at her. She is so excited…”

As expected, when it came to Juju, Eudora finally calmed down a little. Then, Amos put the gun in her hands.

“Hold it, and look ahead…” He repeated the key points to her over and over again.

Eudora, who had been super resistant to Amos’ touch, gradually calmed down. “Did you aim? Pull the trigger.”

With a snap, the bullets were fired.

Amos breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look at Eudora’s face, which was filled with fear.
