One Night Stand With That Beggar

Seeing how bemused Clint was, Amos explained himself.

“It’s just that your skin looks healthy and glossy.”

Clint was staggered.

Amos’ words sounded so weird to him.

It seemed even more weird now that Amos was approaching him while speaking.

At the sight of that, Clint instantly put his arms around his chest.

“I can’t do that. I only have Anya in my heart!”

Amos was rendered speechless.

“Shut up! Do you think that I’m interested in you?”

Clint was puzzled, so he asked, “What is it then? You’re coming so close to me. It’s easy for me to get the wrong idea, isn’t it?”

“Eudora said that your skin is pretty good, so I want to know how you take care of it.”

Only then did Clint come to a realization. He thought to himself, “Ah, now I understand. That’s right! He loves Eudora so much, so how could he be interested in me?”

After that, he replied, “I’m not very certain about that. Anya chose the products for me. I’ll go back and ask her, and then I’ll message them to you!”

Amos nodded and said, “Okay!”

Thinking of Eudora’s admiring expression as she was looking at Clint, Amos still felt unhappy and jealous. He couldn’t help but say, “Although your skin looks good, it’s too fair. Women won’t like men who appear too pale.

Clint nodded and said, “Really? President Granger, maybe you’re right! I might have to work out under the sun to be more tan.”

…

After dinner in the evening, Eudora saw Amos lying on the sofa and mumbling in a strange way.

He was browsing through the online shopping platform with his iPad, looking for skincare products.

Eudora walked over curiously and asked, “What are you doing? Do you need my help?”

Amos shook his head and said, “No, I’m just scrolling and looking around.”

Hearing his words, Eudora didn’t say anything.

Naomi came in from outside. Recalling the engagement plan, she saw that her parents seemed to be in a good mood, therefore she went forward to them.

“Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“What is it?” asked Eudora.

Naomi hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s about… I have gotten along very well with Nelson, so the two of us are planning to get engaged.”

Eudora was startled. Before she could say anything, the iPad almost dropped to the ground from Amos’s hands.

He asked in incredulity, “What? Engagement?”

“Yes! Besides, Dad, haven’t you already promised me not to interfere in our relationship? I’m not getting married immediately! I just want to get engaged first before the wedding in maybe two years’ time.”

“Have you made up your mind?” asked Eudora.

“Yes, I have!”

Amos frowned and said, “For such an important decision, Nelson should have come to us and tell us in person, yet he asked you to inform us? Does he take us seriously?”

Naomi quickly explained, “That’s not what he meant!”

“I’m the one who wanted to tell you beforehand. In fact, he…”

“Stop making excuses for him! If he really wants to be engaged to you, he would definitely come to us by himself, he won’t need you to do it. I’d like to see when he’ll come. Don’t remind him about it.”

Eudora also tried to persuade Naomi, “Your father is doing this for your own good. Don’t you want to see what Nelson would do for you?”

Upon hearing her words, Naomi nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to Dad!”

In the next few days, Naomi hung out with Nelson as usual. She neither showed any signs of abnormality, nor did she take the initiative to talk about the engagement with him.

Meanwhile, Nelson also failed to bring the matter up in their conversation at all.

Gradually, Naomi’s enthusiasm faded away.

She reckoned that he must be busy.

Another week had passed and it was the weekend.

Naomi became a little lazy. She was not as proactive as before, not so keen to hangout with Nelson.

She slept until 8 o’clock in the morning. When she woke up, the first thing she did was check her cell phone.

Except for the news, there were no other notifications.

She was a little depressed, hence she was reluctant to get up. She simply turned over, covered herself with the quilt, and went back to sleep.

Eudora looked at the untouched breakfast downstairs, and sighed.

“I’ll go and wake Naomi up!”

Amos pursed his lips and said, “Don’t do that! She has her own troubles. Just leave her alone.”

Eudora thought about it for a moment, then came back and sat down beside Amos. Amos also casually held her hand in his.

Eudora was also confused as she said, “What is Nelson thinking?”

“Aren’t they getting along well? Now that we’ve accepted their relationship, why has he become so reserved?”

Amos furrowed his brow as he said, “Stop mentioning him! We shall see what he is planning to do.”

While they were talking, Cindy ran in from outside.

“President Granger, Mrs. Granger, outside, th-there’s…”

Eudora poured her a glass of water and asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t worry, take your time!”

Cindy took a sip of water and said, “There are a lot of people and a fleet of cars outside!”

Eudora was taken aback and asked in response, “A fleet?”

“Who brought them here?”

“Mr. Luther did!” said Cindy.

Amos stood up and walked to the door as he said, “Nelson’s here? I’d like to see what he wants to do.”

Eudora followed him hurriedly, but after a few steps, she came back to Cindy and said, “Ask Naomi to get up!”

…

Nelson was standing right in front of Clearwater Bay’s main entrance.

There were a lot of people in suits next to him, each holding a lot of boxes.

There were more than ten luxury cars behind them, lined up one after another.

Furthermore, there were flowers on every car, making the scene look like a mobile garden.

Eudora quickly stopped Amos and said, “Don’t talk first!”

Amos listened to her words and immediately closed his mouth.

Then, Nelson stepped forward and bowed to them, “Good morning, Uncle and Auntie. I am sorry for the inconvenience I’ve caused. This is the proposal that I have prepared. I want to be with Naomi!”

Eudora asked surprisingly, “You haven’t mentioned anything for so long because you were preparing for this?”

Nelson smiled awkwardly and said, “I didn’t prepare everything quite well, so I hope you can forgive me.”

“You…” When Amos was about to speak, Eudora grabbed his arm.

“Well, this is much more sincere than your past antics.”

Amos was stunned.

“Are you saying that I didn’t prepare anything for you back then?”

He was so aggrieved.

Eudora didn’t reply because Naomi had already come down.

However, she had done so in her pajamas.

…

Naomi was also flabbergasted. Cindy told her nervously that Mr. Luther had come, and Amos had gone out to see him.

She thought that a fight was going to break out.

As a result, she ran down in a hurry. Unexpectedly, a proposal was bestowed on her.

There were so many people outside. All of them were looking at her disheveled hair and untidy appearance, not to mention her pajamas and slippers.

It was probably the most absurd proposal in the world.
