One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eddison frowned as he asked, “What’s wrong with you? Is it because I didn’t pick you up just now? I went there, but I didn’t see you…”

Rachel thought of the scene she had seen just then and could not help but feel that the situation was ironic.

“Yes, you’re right! You were indeed there!”

However, had he actually gone there to pick her up?

Truth be told, Rachel wanted to make a scene. She wanted to ask Eddison whether he liked Sierra. She even wanted to lose all of her control and look for Sierra to settle the score.

She wanted to do so while using her status as Mrs. Granger, as Eddison’s wife!

However, that was all only in her imagination.

She knew her own limits. Eddison did not love her. If she really did all that, she would face even more losses.

It was better to grant him freedom and let go of him!

Eddison looked at her indifference in her eyes and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

He told himself that the two of them were in a good relationship recently and they were already friends.

Thus, he felt that it was normal to feel uncomfortable upon hearing her words. He took a deep breath and exhaled, removing all the stuffiness from his chest.

Eddison nodded as he said, “If that is what you want, I’ll respect your decision. Go and rest first. We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Rachel nodded. She was extremely tired.

They went back to their respective rooms without looking back. It was a sleepless night for Rachel.

At dawn, she struggled to get up and wash up.

No marriage certificate between her and Eddison had ever existed, so how were they going to have a divorce in the first place? What Eddison meant was to have a talk to discuss announcing their divorce to their families.

Then, they would need to find the media to announce the news that the two of them had been separated.

However, even so, Rachel still wanted to end everything officially. She put on light makeup to make herself look more energetic.

When Rachel went downstairs, Eddison was also on his way down. There seemed to be eye bags under his eyes, and it looked like he did not sleep well too.

Rachel’s heart tightened, but in the next second, she heard Eddison’s mobile phone ring.

Although they were not close to each other, Rachel could recognize Sierra’s voice. She was speaking gently and seeking his comfort early in the morning.

Rachel’s mind was quite clear at the moment

Even if Eddison could not fall asleep, it would not be because of her. Instead, he was worried about Sierra, right?

“Let’s begin!” Rachel interrupted Eddison who was on the phone.

Sierra sounded puzzled when she heard Rachel’s voice and seemed to pause for a moment.

“Eddie? Is someone from your family talking to you?”

“Oh, yes!” Eddison nodded. “I’ll deal with it first. We’ll talk later at school!”

After he hung up on the call, Eddison looked at Rachel.

“Have you really made up your mind?”

As he asked that question, he was a little taken aback by himself. Wasn’t a divorce what he had always hoped for? Why had he asked her that?

“Yes, I have!” Rachel nodded.

“Alright then! I’ve already contacted the media. All we need to do is to decide on a simple statement and send it to them. Let’s inform both of our parents first! In order to show respect, you should call your parents first.”

Not having any objections, Rachel said, “Okay.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She turned on her mobile phone and called her house number.

Her parents would not have been asleep at the moment as it was sunset back in her hometown.

The call was soon connected.

The housekeeper greeted her, “Good morning, Miss Rachel.”

The housekeeper was referring to Rachel’s time zone.

Rachel answered, “Where are my parents? Let my mother answer the phone.”

“She… Mrs. Gellert is resting. Miss Rachel, why don’t you call back again tomorrow?”

Rachel was stunned, “She’s sleeping this early?”

Although Bianca had the habit of sleeping early to maintain her youthful appearance, she had never slept at that time before.

“Is there something wrong?” Rachel asked.

The housekeeper’s tone was anxious, “No, there isn’t!”

“Where’s my father? Put him on the phone.”

“Mr. Gellert is busy. Yes, he’s busy now.”

Rachel gradually frowned as she asked, “Is there something you’re hiding from me? Tell me, did something happen to my parents?”

“Miss Rachel…”

“Tell me! Otherwise, I’ll buy a ticket and go back now.”

Only then did the housekeeper let out a sigh, “Mrs. Gellert is injured.”

“How could she be injured? She has someone to pick her up every day when she goes out.”

“She met with an arrogant woman who hit her! However, don’t worry, Miss Rachel. Mrs. Gellert is feeling much better now. It’s nothing serious. Mrs. Gellert was afraid that you would be worried about her, therefore she kept telling me to not tell you about this!”

Rachel still felt that something was amiss, but she no longer asked any questions.

The housekeeper would not tell the truth anyway!

“Okay, I understand now!”

After Rachel hung up on the call, she apologized to Eddison, “Sorry, I may not be able to do this for the time being. I have to go back home first.”

Eddison looked at her with concern.

“Do you think that the housekeeper is keeping something important from you?”

“I hope not, but I have to go back and see my mother!”

“Okay!” Eddison nodded and watched as Rachel went to pack her things.

When Rachel came down again, Eddison was gone. Rachel looked around the house, and the driver informed her, “Young Master Eddison has gone to school.”

Rachel understood the situation.

Eddison had made an appointment with Sierra just then!

“Take me to the airport.”

Rachel lowered her head and said. Her return home could be considered an escape, right? After confirming that Bianca was fine, she would probably never return there again.

She turned her head and looked around the house. She had not lived there for a long period of time.

She had only stayed there for a little more than a month.

However, Rachel felt as if she was leaving an old friend. During the month, every corner of the house had traces of her.

In the future, when Sierra moved in, would those traces of her be wiped out?

They definitely would!

Eddison loved Sierra so much.

Rachel took a deep breath, turned around and left.

…

At the airport, Rachel saw a young couple in front of her as she passed through the security check.

She could not hear what the boy said, but the girl was gently hitting him.

“You’re a self-absorbed man!”

“I’m not self-absorbed, but don’t you like me either way?”

“Who would like you?”

“You would, you little pig!”

“You’re the piglet here!”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Rachel looked at them and suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She had been in her own delusion the entire time. Relationships were supposed to be two-sided.

She had been the self-absorbed one.

The tears she had endured suddenly glided down her checks. She was extremely sad, but she felt that the situation she was in was not too bad either. She had finally made up her mind to let go of him.

Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder and handed a piece of tissue to her.

“There are so many people at the airport. Don’t cry. You don’t look pretty when you cry.”

Rachel took the tissue and covered her eyes. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she removed the tissue.

In front of her was Eddison, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. He was there with a suitcase in his hand.

“You… ”

Rachel suddenly had no idea what to say.

Hadn’t he gone to the university to meet his beloved?

Hadn’t he wanted her to leave?

She opened her mouth but she could not muster the courage to ask him any of those questions

After a long while, he said, “I went to school to apply for leave. Why didn’t you wait for me?”
