One Night Stand With That Beggar

Christopher shouldn’t be blamed for having such an idea. The situation before him was too unrealistic and out of the blue like a fantasy story.

How would the public think of a cold and aloof man like Amos? They probably perceived him as a decisive and ruthless man, and perhaps also a man without much emotions and affection!

Yet, at this moment, he was holding a notebook piously and sitting in front of him, asking about the symptoms of Eudora’s pregnancy.

Christopher’s first reaction was to doubt his own eyes! Was he hallucinating?

However, Amos’ eyes told him that it was true. Christopher could tell that he was very serious and focused!

Christopher relaxed his knitted eyebrows and spoke again.

“Why are you asking me this?”

If Amos was telling the truth, was he doing this to get even with him then? Christopher couldn’t help but think this way!

“Because you were with her at that time.”

Christopher took a gasp secretly. Amos was a vindictive man after all. As expected, he had come to settle past grievances with him!

“I can explain it! It was you who made Eudora angry at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have left with her. Moreover, she and I are definitely just friends, nothing beyond that, and I have Tina, I…”

“Are you done? If you are done, then let’s get down to business.”

Christopher was confused.

Was he really here to consult him? Christopher wondered as he looked at Amos as though he was looking at a lunatic.

After a long time, he finally realized something.

“Is Eudora pregnant again? Is she pregnant with a second baby?”

Amos’ hand, which was holding a pen, stiffened slightly. He immediately nodded his head, “Yes!”

Christopher breathed a sigh of relief and said, “You should have told me earlier. You gave me a good fright. By the way, how ‘efficient’ can you two be! With a second child so soon…”

Amos didn’t talk anymore. After Christopher finished, he started to recall.

“When I was with Eudora, I realized that she gets sleepy often. Besides, she seemed to have a sweet tooth after she got pregnant. She had pretty serious edema as well. I remember that she started swelling since the sixth month of her pregnancy…”

Amos took note of all of these details and waited for Christopher to finish before he started speaking.

“What about morning sickness?”

Christopher shook his head and said, “I don’t think that she has it. She didn’t vomit while conceiving Juju. At least, after she left with me.”

He asked hurriedly when he noticed that Amos was frowning, “What’s wrong? Is her vomiting severe lately? Is she in danger? Have you found a doctor?”

Christopher asked these questions in one breath. The customers walking past them all stared at Christopher and Amos as if they were crazy.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

They were still gossiping in a low voice.

“Have I heard it wrongly? Those two men seem to be talking about morning sickness.”

“Are they gay?”

“It seems like it!”

Christopher was at a loss for words.

Were these people deaf? They were obviously talking about a woman!

Christopher rolled his eyes, only to see that Amos had consciously stood up and already one meter away from him!

Christopher didn’t know what to say.

“Where are you going?”

“To avoid further misunderstandings!” Amos said casually, “I’m not interested in you.”

Christopher was flustered.

He thought to himself, “You make it sound like I’m interested in you. I’m not gay either, okay!!!”

However…

Looking at Amos behaving like this, Christopher couldn’t hold his laughter and said, “Amos, I’m sure that you didn’t know this, but I didn’t think highly of you when Eudora fell for you. I kept asking myself, what’s so good about you? Apart from being handsome, you have no other advantages. Plus, you are also so indifferent and apathetic. You are so indifferent to the point that you don’t need an air conditioner at your home due to your cold aura! But now, it seems that I’ve changed my view of you. When you helped me last time, I realized that you are very loyal to your friends. Besides, today, you’ve put your pride aside and came to me for help. I’m glad that Eudora found herself a good husband!”

Amos frowned, “To be honest, your opinion doesn’t carry any weight to me at all. Besides, it’d be better if you stop admiring me that much. As I said, I’m not interested in you!”

After that, Amos turned around and left coolly.

Christopher was left alone with mixed emotions.

…

After leaving the cafe, Amos went to visit Doctor Leon in person.

Earlier that morning, Doctor Leon thought that Amos might look for him after hearing the obstetrician’s report. Therefore, he had been waiting, but he did not expect that Amos would actually appear.

As he watched Amos enter the room, Doctor Leon had already smiled before he could speak.

Amos frowned, “Why are you smiling?”

Doctor Leon smiled for a few seconds and said, “I’m not laughing at you. I just thought that it was rather interesting. In the past, when they said that the Old Master and Hank were infatuated with their ladies, I thought that it might just be a coincidence. But now, you are the same too. It seems that it does run in the family. When did you ever behave like this, getting so anxious just because of her morning sickness?”

Amos glared at him, “You doctors aren’t capable enough, yet you dare place the blame on the patient’s family.”

Doctor Leon was speechless, “If the patient’s family are all as irritable as you, then there would be no doctors left. What an awful bargain to be killed by infuriated family members.”

Amos pursed his lips, “Let’s not talk about this. Do you have any reliable friends from the obstetrics and gynecology field? Introduce them to me. I have a lot of questions to ask!”

Doctor Leon took the booklet from Amos’ hand and looked through it while he was not paying attention. Then, he almost burst into tears from laughing.

“Things to take note of during morning sickness.”

“Solutions to relieve the swelling of pregnant women?”

“How could a pregnant woman lead a healthier lifestyle?”

“Amos, you are exaggerating it, don’t you think? In fact, pregnant women are not as pampered as you think they are. Many pregnant women would work and live their lives as usual after getting pregnant. Spoiling a pregnant woman might actually pose some problems when she finally goes into labor…”

As soon as Doctor Leon’s voice fell, Amos lowered his head and added another sentence.

“Pregnant women’s exercising rules.”

Doctor Leon was speechless.

Forget it. He knew that he won’t be able to convince Amos.

“My daughter has just returned from her studies in Country M. She also had a few years of experience with obstetrics and gynecology abroad. If you are still worried, I’ll ask her to keep track of Eudora’s pregnancy! What do you think?”

Amos gave it a thought.

“Your daughter? What’s her name?”

Doctor Leon was flustered.

“You little br*t. Don’t you trust me? Helen, my daughter, has even published medical articles abroad!”

Amos nodded, “Okay! I’ll trust you this time.”

Doctor Leon laughed with a little hint of dismay, “Br*t, are you kidding me? You are too obsessed now. If your father was still alive, do you think that he would be at ease? I heard that something happened to Valiant East recently. Are you not going to attend to it?”

Amos frowned, “Doctor Leon, you are just a doctor!”

“Fine, I’ll stop talking then! Wise words from the elderly are truly not well appreciated.” After a pause, he said again, “I heard that you and Eudora have gotten your marriage certificate. I haven’t got the chance to congratulate the two of you! Initially, I wanted to have a talk with you, but since you have decided to get married, you should move ahead. Things in the past should go with the wind. But now, looking at you, I think that I don’t have much to say! You are a responsible man, and I sincerely hope you and Eudora can be happy forever in the future.”
