One Night Stand With That Beggar

After Naomi spoke, she felt extremely uncomfortable. So, she drank a mouthful of water.

Just as soon as water reached her mouth, she spat it out once she heard Culver’s answer.

“What did you just say?”

Culver looked at her in a daze, “It’s nothing!”

Naomi then let out a sigh of relief. It must have been an auditory hallucination!

…

Eddison continued to distribute the leaflets for the whole afternoon, with Rachel following him the entire time.

In the afternoon, it gradually grew hotter. From afar, she could see sweat dripping down from Eddison’s head.

Even his skin became visually redder.

Rachel could not stand it anymore, therefore she bought a bottle of water and wanted to give it to Eddison. However, when she was about to approach him, she stopped again.

She thought to herself, “Eddison probably doesn’t want to see me. He was so angry just now.”

Coincidentally, at that moment, a cleaner passed by. Therefore, she entrusted the bottle of water to the cleaner.

The cleaner looked at her blushing face and began to pry.

“Is he your boyfriend?”

Rachel waved her hand as she replied, “No, he’s not!”

In fact, she had never taken the initiative to chase after a boy. Since she was a child, her parents had told her that girls had to be reserved, polite, and generous.

That was also what she had been acting all along!

However, Eddison was the first person that she could not help but want to approach.

When she saw that he was working so hard and had left home bravely, she felt as if she was looking at herself when she was a child.

She was a daughter from a rich family, and everyone said that she was generous and decent. However, as a human being, who wanted to be controlled since the moment they were born?

In fact, she had rebelled before, but in the end, she was suppressed.

Therefore, when she saw Eddison rebelling against his family like that, she inexplicably felt like her blood was surging. It was like a scene from a TV show from her childhood where the hero was saving the world. She was filled with passion and sense of security when she saw the scene.

Not only did it not ruin his impression in her heart, but it made her admire him even more. Even the sweat on his body had become a symbol of him defending his freedom.

“Silly girl, don’t be shy! He looks like a good young man. There are very few young people who are as practical as he is nowadays. I’ll help you give it to him now!”

“Thank you, Madam!” Rachel thanked her with a smile.

She watched as the cleaner walked towards Eddison step-by-step with the bottle of water in hand.

After that, the cleaner seemed to have said something to Eddison, and Eddison looked in her direction. Rachel’s heart raced.

She thought that she had been discovered. How could she have forgotten to tell the cleaner to not bring up her presence?

Unexpectedly, Eddison quickly retracted his gaze from her, as if he had just given her a casual glance.

Then, the cleaner walked away.

Eddison continued to give out leaflets.

Rachel sighed. It looked like she had been overthinking things.

Soon, it became dark. The sky was dyed a bright orange, and there were only a few pedestrians left on the street. However, Eddison had no intention to stop.

Rachel’s stomach growled. Her phone rang with a call from her family. They were asking why she had not returned yet. She found an excuse and said that her colleague had invited her for dinner.

When she hung up on the call and raised her head, Eddison was gone.

She hurriedly rushed out and tried to look for Eddison, but unexpectedly, she met with a group of gangsters who were smiling at her as they blocked her path.

“Missy, are you looking for someone?”

Rachel was simple and naïve, and she failed to sense any evil intentions from those gangsters.

So, she asked them politely, “Did you see the person who was handing out leaflets there just now?”

Upon hearing her words, they all laughed out loud.

“Is he your boyfriend?”

Rachel obviously felt uncomfortable, therefore she wanted to walk past them.

However, she was blocked by a person in front of her, “Don’t go! What’s so good about that person? He’s just a poor boy who hands out leaflets. Look at us! Any one of us is much better than him.”

At that point, Rachel knew that they were not good people.

Immediately, she took a step back and moved a little farther away from the man.

“Please show some respect!”

“Respect? Okay! If you give me a kiss now, I’ll promise to be gentle with you.”

“Go away!” Rachel shouted nervously.

The other members surrounded her and said, “I like girls like her. They’re like kittens! They act fierce but their punches don’t even hurt! They must feel good in bed.”

“Help!” Rachel screamed.

…

Eddison had gone to buy a bottle of water. In the afternoon, when the cleaner told him that a girl had given him a bottle of water, he had seen Rachel standing there.

He had already asked her to leave, yet she had still come back and even wanted to give him a bottle of water. Was she trying to win his favor? She had even deliberately found an elderly woman to pretend to be a passerby to tell him about it.

“She’s indeed a scheming woman,” Eddison thought to himself with contempt.

Of course, he would not drink the water that she had given him, therefore he just left it there.

As soon as he took a sip, he heard someone calling for help. He ran forward and saw Rachel being surrounded by a few gangsters.

He stopped. For a brief moment, he did not want to be bothered about it. Who knew if that was also arranged by Rachel?

However, in the end, his sense of justice prevailed over his thinking. He no longer cared if it was a set up or not. What if the incident was genuine?

Eudora once said that a wrong move could sometimes destroy a person, and he could not afford to do so when it concerned one’s life.

He threw the half emptied bottle at one of the men and hit him on the head.

That man was about to pull Rachel’s collar, as they thought that they had chosen a secluded place. However, upon being hit by something, the man became angry and shouted.

“Who hit me?”

Before his voice faded away, a gust of wind swept past. Eddison rushed forward and knocked down those people in a few moves.

They were just a few gangsters. How could they be compared to Eddison who had been trained in self defense since he was a child?

The few of them fled. Eddison glanced at Rachel, who was trembling in fear.

“Everything’s fine now, so you’d better go home immediately!”

Then, he turned around and walked away. After he took a few steps, he realized that there was no movement at all from Rachel, who was behind him, therefore he stopped again.

“If you stay here like this and bad guys come back after I leave, no one will be here to save you!”

Then, Rachel finally came to her senses.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She really was weak. She was just a pampered young lady. At that moment, she was so scared that her face was pale and her whole body trembled.

Eddison frowned slightly and a sense of compassion arose in his heart.

“I’ll hail a taxi for you…”

“No, don’t hail a taxi.”

When she heard the word ‘taxi’, she instinctively got nervous. Only then did Eddison remember that his family had said that Rachel’s accident was not a show.

“Then, call your family to pick you up!”

After that, he saw a car coming from the side of the road, so he moved aside. The next second, Rachel grabbed his arm.

She pleaded, “Please don’t leave me behind…”
