One Night Stand With That Beggar

Felicia’s face contorted for a moment but a smile returned soon after.

“Forget it. It’s all in the past now. Let’s not mention it anymore. We’ve already prepared dinner. Come on over and help yourselves.”

Gordon shook his head and said, “I’m not going to eat until Eudora comes back.”

“I’ve told you many times already. Mom will leave her some food, alright? Why do you always wait for her?” Kesha asked angrily.

“No, no, that won’t do. Eudora has been getting thinner recently.”

Eudora remembered many instances in the past when her father would tell her that he had left dinner for her at home. However, she never once laid eyes on such a meal every time she got back home.

Thinking of this, she directed a glare at Kesha.

It seemed that it was all Kesha’s doing! Kesha avoided her penetrating glare stealthily, opting to look elsewhere so as to not draw more attention to herself.

Eudora was not in the mood to argue with her. Instead, she walked over to Gordon and persuaded him to eat, “Come on, let’s eat! Eudora has filled herself already. You don’t have to wait for her.”

“Really?” Gordon asked, looking at her suspiciously.

“It’s true! The school provided students with mashed potatoes in the canteen today. It was delicious! She ate a lot of it.”

“That’s good. Mashed potatoes are one of her favorites!” Gordon said with a smile.

After helping Gordon into his seat at the table, they all settled down as well. A moment later, Eudora remembered that Amos was still waiting outside, so she said,

“Please go ahead without me. I’m heading back first. I’ll come back to see you in two days. I’ll take Dad to the hospital for a full-body check-up.”

However, before she could even finish her words, Gordon had already grabbed her arm.

“Are you leaving already? But you haven’t eaten anything yet!”

“Yes, I’m leaving for now. You must eat more, alright? Eudora will be happy to know that you did.”

“I will! Wait, hold on…” Gordon said as he slowly got up.

Eudora didn’t know what he was going to do, so she merely stood there and watched.

A moment later, she saw that Gordon had taken out a box and packed some of the dishes for her.

“Bring these back to eat. You look so skinny. You should eat more!”

Eudora looked at Gordon as though he were a child, her heart in turmoil, “Gordon, look at you. Why would Eudora want to eat this? She could afford better,” Felicia said hurriedly.

At the mention of Eudora’s name, Gordon suddenly perked up. He darted around and grabbed a fistful of mashed potatoes and put it in his pocket.

Eudora looked on in shock as Felicia hurriedly came up to him to get the mashed potatoes out of his pocket.

“What are you doing? Food is supposed to be eaten, not kept in pockets! You kept so much last time that it soiled the washer!”

Like a child, Gordon refused to let go of his fist of mashed potatoes no matter what Felicia did or said.

Eudora noticed that he was muttering to himself quietly but she couldn’t hear what he was saying. When she got close enough, she finally managed to hear the mantra that he was repeatedly reciting to himself.

“Bring it to Eudora…”

Eudora’s eyes prickled as tears started to well up in her eyes.

Gordon quickly let go of his grip on the mashed potatoes when he saw her crying. He said, “Girl, what’s the matter? Why are you crying? Are you hungry? Here, I’ll give you my share of mashed potatoes. You could eat some of it first, but you can’t eat it all! Otherwise, Eudora won’t have any left when she gets back!”

Eudora shook her head and said, “No, I don’t want to eat it. You should leave that for her.”

Gordon smiled and agreed, “Yes, I’ll leave all of them to Eudora. Don’t worry. Your father will definitely leave some for you as well. Don’t be sad.”

Eudora nodded.

Once she stepped out of the door, Eudora couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Amos was met with a crying Eudora as soon as he looked up. He threw away the cigarette in his hand hurriedly and went up to her.

“What’s the matter? Did they bully you? I’m going to…”

Eudora merely hugged him and squeezed herself against his broad chest. He made her feel secure and safe.

“What happened? Could you tell me?” Amos asked softly.

Eudora cried a little and sniffled, then shaking her head and wiping her tears on his clothes.

“I’m fine. I’m just upset by how my father had turned out. I feel as though I’ve wronged him in the past.”

Amos let out a sigh of relief and patted her on the back, “In that case, you should treat him better in the future…”

Eudora nodded. At this moment, she seemed to have recalled something,

“Did you do something awful to him in the past? Why was he so afraid of you?”

Amos did not know how to answer her.

“What if I said yes?”

Eudora pretended to be angry as she said, “Then I’ll punish you!”

Amos tilted his lips into a small smile and said, “That’s alright, then. I’m fine with anything as long as you chose to stay with me.”

Eudora rolled her eyes at him and muttered, “You sure have a way with words!”

…

Meanwhile, at the George family’s residence…

Gordon felt exhausted after the meal. After taking his medication, he went straight to bed.

Kesha sat around impatiently for a while before deciding to leave with Steven in tow.

Just as she was about to leave, Felicia hurriedly stopped her. “Kesha, could you give me a moment? I have something to talk to you about…”

“Let’s talk about it next time, alright? We’re busy with some other things,” Kesha frowned.

“This is really important…”

Hearing that, Kesha told Steven to wait for her outside.

“I’m not in a hurry. Take your time,” Steven said.

He was trying to leave a good impression in front of Felicia. Kesha nodded shyly and proceeded to follow Felicia upstairs.

After closing the door, Felicia started to ask her.

“Is that your boyfriend?”

“Yes!” Kesha answered proudly. In the past, all her boyfriends were either old men or married men.

Before then, she hadn’t dared to admit any of them as her boyfriend. However, this time, she was extremely proud of Steve, “He’s the current President of Valiant East. He’s Amos’ cousin!”

Felicia’s eyes widened at the news. She hadn’t been paying much attention during their conversation just now. Who knew that Kesha would find such a wonderful boyfriend?

“Is he married?” Felicia blurted out.

She found it slightly unbelievable that her daughter had found such a perfect person.

Kesha rolled her eyes at her mother and said, “What kind of mother are you? What do you take me for? Of course he’s not! He’s single.”

Felicia was overjoyed to hear that, “That’s great! If you could settle down with him, I could finally rest easy now.”

Kesha nodded and proceeded to ask, “You said that you had something to tell me. What is it?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh! I almost forgot. Here’s the thing…” Felicia paused and started to whisper the following words.

“If you have the time, please come home and accompany your father.”

Kesha had initially thought that it was some life or death situation since her mother had emphasized its importance, but it turned out to be on such a trivial matter, “Oh, alright, alright!” she said impatiently.

“No, you don’t understand,” Felicia quickly grabbed her again, pulling her close. “Your father talks about Eudora all day long. Don’t you think that something is weird?”

“He’s just biased! He likes her more than me!”

“No, that’s not just it. I’ve always felt that there are some secrets that are still hidden away by your father from us… I think that he wants to leave everything that he owns to Eudora…” Felicia shook her head.

Kesha was taken aback. “Why do you say that? What did you find?”
