One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eudora asked Cindy to accompany her in paying a visit to Eddison.

Cindy had not lied to her. Eddison had indeed eaten the food, but he was still morose and rebelling against Amos.

Eudora stood outside the room and turned to look at Cindy.

“I want to speak to him privately.”

Cindy made an excuse and went out. After that, Eudora sat down and leaned against the wall.

“Eddison, if you really want to leave, I’ll let you go!”

It was still silent inside, but after three seconds, footsteps slowly approached the door.

Eudora knew that he had come near the door.

She pursed her lips together and continued to speak.

“I never lie. It’s just that you have to tell me the reason you refuse to marry Miss Gellert. Is it really because you can’t accept a forced marriage? Is there another reason?”

In fact, Clint’s words were right.

Rachel and Eddison would make a good match. He had been impatient since he was a child whereas Rachel was a rather level-headed person. The two of them would complement each other very well.

Eudora absolutely believed in Amos’s judgment on that.

She hoped that Eddison could fall in love with Rachel and get together with her.

However, she was not willing to force him into living a life that he disliked because of her.

The footsteps inside gradually stopped at the door, and Eudora heard Eddison’s words.

“Will you tell Dad?”

Eudora was taken aback. Then, she replied, “Of course not, this is a secret between us.”

Only then did he say, “Mom, I have someone in my heart already.”

It came as no surprise.

Eudora should’ve thought of that a long time ago. If it wasn’t because of another girl, he would not be so resistant to Amos’ arrangement.

“Who is she?”

Eudora was quite collected. After all, she knew that her children would eventually grow up.

“I’m not too sure about her background. She’s a senior of mine in school. She’s quite gentle, and she has also been very nice to me!”

Eudora nodded as she replied, “Okay, I get it.”

After that, she stood up.

Eddison heard the sound of her getting up, so he asked again.

“Mom, can you persuade Dad?”

Eudora laughed. “Of course I can! Have you forgotten that he never goes against my will as long as I insist?” she said confidently.

Eddison agreed to that.

Soon, he felt at ease.

…

When Amos returned home at night, there was silence in the house.

The lamp outside the door emitted a warm light. Eudora was sitting in front of the dining table, waiting quietly for him.

Amos knew that she would definitely continue to talk about Eddison’s matter. He simply loosened his tie and entered the house.

He seemed to make small talk by saying, “Why is it so quiet in the house?”

Eudora said, “I’ve asked them to rest early today. Come over and have your dinner. These are your favorite dishes.”

Amos looked over to the dining table. Undeniably, they were all his favourite food.

“Did you cook them yourself?”

He thought that she would be exasperated about what happened in the daytime.

Eudora nodded before replying, “Have a try! I haven’t cooked for a long time. I don’t know if they’ll taste the same.”

Amos took a bite of one of the dishes.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“It’s even tastier than before!”

Eudora smiled and said, “You don’t say! Sugar Bun also likes this dish the most. You two really have the same taste.”

Amos pursed his lips and said, “I talked to Mr. Gellert in the afternoon. There are still a lot of preparations for the wedding. I will be a little busy recently.”

Eudora took a deep breath.

“Amos… Just let Eddison go. I’ll apologise to the Gellert family. After that, I’ll listen to you! We’ll go wherever you want to go.”

Amos’s heart skipped a beat. “You found out?” asked Amos.

Eudora realized that she had inadvertently let him know that she was aware of his intentions.

Hence, she answered, “Yes, I know about it. I went to visit Eddison in the afternoon. I feel much more at ease after that. He already has his own way of thinking since he has grown up.”

She had been quite good at putting on an act. Amos didn’t want her to know the truth, therefore she had pretended that she had no idea.

Truth be told, he knew that she was pretending. However, he pretended that he didn’t know about her pretense.

It turned out that both of them knew what was going on in each other’s mind, but they were beating around the bush.

“Will you really listen to me and go anywhere for your treatment?”

Eudora held Amos’s hand and said, “Yes!”

“We’ve been together for so many years. Don’t you believe me? Since we’re husband and wife, we’ll naturally follow each other.”

Amos wanted nothing more than that promise. So, he was thrilled as he replied, “Okay!”

“I’ll ask someone to release him tomorrow morning.”

“Really?” Eudora was overjoyed. Their conflict had gotten so intense that she thought it would reach a dead end.

Unexpectedly, Amos only wanted a promise from her.

She recalled what Clint had said about Amos being troubled by her illness.

Eudora looked at Amos’s side profile, and she felt weepy suddenly.

She put her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his chest.

“Thank you!”

“Thank you for loving me, understanding me, and protecting me. Having you in my life is such a blessing!” Eudora thought about Amos’ deep love.

Amos felt touched and he replied, “I love you!”

…

The next day, Eudora woke up early in the morning.

Since she had made a promise to Amos, she started to take good care of herself.

She ate well and took her medicine with a glass of water. After that, she waved the empty cup and smiled at Amos.

Amos walked over and stretched out his hand to caress her abdomen. “Aren’t you always saying that it’s bitter?” asked Amos.

“Yeah, it’s very bitter!” said Eudora. She had hated bitter food and medicine since she was a child.

Before she could finish her words, a candy had been placed into her mouth.

The sweetness from the fruity candy filled her mouth in an instant. Eudora gently pinched Amos’s arm and asked, “Where did you get it?”

Amos showed his pocket, which was full of candies, while Cindy was smiling mischievously next to them.

“Mr. Granger got into the habit of keeping candies in his pocket many years ago. Madam, don’t tell me that you didn’t know that until now!”

Eudora immediately felt a little embarrassed. It really was the first time that she had discovered the candies.

No wonder he had always taken candy out whenever she took her medicine.

Then, Amos changed the subject.

“Come on, let’s go and see Sugar Bun.”

It would be the time for Eddison to go abroad and return to his school after the issue had ended since he had been staying in Rosaville City for quite a while.

…

When Eddison was released, the first thing he did was to charge his phone.

After being grounded for such a long time, his cell phone was out of battery.

Meanwhile, Eudora pulled him aside to chat with him briefly. Parents would always fret over their children before their departure for a long journey.

As they were speaking, his cell phone rang.

It was a familiar ringtone. He became restless right away.

Eudora understood that it must be Sierra who was calling him.

Thus, she made an excuse to end their conversation, “Go and pick up the phone!”

Eddison hurriedly took his phone and went to the balcony. He was thrilled, and there was a definite spring in his step.

Eudora gave a delighted smile as she was feeling happy for him.

There was a noise outside the door, so Eudora curiously opened it to see what was going on.

She happened to see Jarred standing outside. He was saying furiously, “Amos, what are you doing? Are you making fun of me?”
