One Night Stand With That Beggar

On the third day after Rachel left home, she went back on purpose.

She wanted to talk to Bianca. However, before she entered the room, she heard the voice of Bianca and Jarred talking and laughing.

When Bianca saw that Rachel had returned, she greeted her with a smile.

Jarred was probably still on edge from the incident from a few days ago, and the smile on his face disappeared. However, he did not say anything! It was obvious that the two of them were going to brush the matter off lightly.

Rachel pursed her lips and heard Bianca’s voice.

“You’re back? I happened to buy some of the ingredients for your favorite dishes today. I’ll prepare it immediately!”

Although Rachel was mentally prepared, upon seeing the scene, she could not help but feel a little uncomfortable.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“There are so many helpers at home, so don’t bother yourself. Come here, Mom. I have something to tell you!”

Bianca shook her head hurriedly, “It’s fine. I’m used to doing the housework at home. Your father likes my cooking!”

Rachel frowned. Bianca seemed to have noticed her expression and tried to soothe things over.

“Don’t you like my cooking too? You’ve always loved my soup. I’ll go now…”

“Mom! Have you really decided to live on like this?”

Bianca stopped and hurriedly shook her head at Rachel. “What are you talking about? Your father and I have been married for decades. What else can we do?”

“But he…”

“What’s wrong with me?” Jarred could not stand it any more.

“I think you are really rebellious now. You were well-behaved when you were a child. Did you come back just to suspect me or question me? Where are all your manners?”

“I… ”

“That’s enough!”

Rachel was held back by Bianca, who insisted, “Don’t say anymore! Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Now that the both of you are back, let’s have a good meal. After dinner, you can go back! Don’t worry about me. I’m really fine!”

“Mom, haven’t you thought about it? What if it happens again next time?”

Bianca was stunned. After a few seconds of silence, she shook her head again.

“It won’t happen again! It was just a fling. Your father said that he won’t do it anymore!”

“Ha…”

Rachel suddenly felt that things were quite ironic. What the hell was she doing?

She thought that she was acting in the name of justice and that she was coming to save Bianca. As a result, she had become the bad person!

Just as she was about to say something else, Eddison took her hand in his.

“It’s okay. Just leave it like this!”

Eddison shook his head at her, “Mom’s right. We’re finally home. Why don’t we have a good meal? The dish you cooked for me last time abroad was really delicious. Why don’t you help her out in the kitchen?”

After he said that, he gave Rachel a look.

Rachel was confused. He was right. There was no way that the problem would be solved even if they quarreled with each other in front of Jarred.

What she needed was to talk to Bianca in private.

She understood Eddison’s intentions and followed Bianca to the kitchen.

…

In the kitchen, Bianca skillfully picked up the apron, rolled up her sleeves, and washed her hands, just like how she did before.

Rachel had seen her doing that series of action for the past twenty years! In those twenty years, she had changed from a young lady into a matured woman.

Sometimes when she looked at Bianca, she could not help but feel sad.

“Mom, is this how you want things to go?”

Bianca’s fingers paused, and then she quickly put on the apron.

“What are you talking about? Didn’t I just explain things to you? Your father and I are husband and wife. If I don’t do this, what else can I do?”

“Can you put up with his past actions?”

Bianca pressed her lips, “As a woman, I believe no one can bear with things like that!”

“Then, why don’t you take the opportunity to leave him?”

She admitted that it was a great crime to persuade Bianca to leave Jarred. However, Bianca had endured things for more than half of her life. Even if it was a great crime, she would rather do so.

“Sigh!” Bianca exhaled a big breath.

“You don’t understand. I can’t live without your father!”

Rachel was puzzled, “Why?”

“Why? I don’t understand why either! Since the day I got married, I have always remembered what your grandmother told me.”

“Your grandmother told me that women should be virtuous and graceful. When they are at home, they should take good care of their husband; when they’re outside, they should be generous, decent, and not bring shame to their husbands. After having children, we should educate our own children and not let our husbands have any worries at all! For decades, I have lived my life like that! I have grown used to it. If you ask me to leave your father, I really don’t know what I can do for the rest of my life!”

What could Bianca do?

“You could do whatever you like!”

“What I like is to take care of you and your father.”

For a moment, Rachel was rendered speechless!

“Are you sure you don’t feel aggrieved? What if you stay here and continue to be insulted?”

“I’m not aggrieved!”

Bianca shook her head and said, “You have to walk the path you’ve chosen, even if you need to crawl on your knees! Don’t worry about me! These days, I’ve been observing Eddison. Although he doesn’t talk much, I can see that he is a good kid. Growing up in a family like the Grangers, he’ll certainly not end up like your father! As long as you are well, I will be rest assured!”

“Mom…”

“Alright! Didn’t you say that you want to cook something? Let’s do it! I’ll help you!”

Rachel nodded.

Although she had given in that time, it did not mean that she would accept everything Jarred had done.

However, Bianca’s worries were valid as many other women were like her too. Although they knew that their husbands were not good men, due to their routines, as well as the fear of not knowing what to do after leaving their husbands, many of them were unable to pluck up the courage to leave the relationship.

It was not a notion that could be changed overnight, so Rachel decided to take it slow.

At present, for the sake of his reputation, Jarred would not dare to cause trouble!

That night, Rachel and Eddison booked a plane ticket back to Country M.

The atmosphere was much different from their first flight back, as it was obviously much better. Rachel even noticed that when she fell asleep on the plane, Eddison had quietly covered her with a blanket.

It gave her a warm feeling that spread to the bottom of her heart.

His actions were incredibly heartfelt.

In the evening, the two of them had some free time, therefore they set up some midnight snacks on the balcony and drank together.

Eddison looked at the red wine taken out by Rachel, and he could not help but tease her.

“Can you drink?”

Rachel was unable to handle alcohol well. She had brought alcohol out because she had been a lot in her mind lately, and she wanted to drink to drown her sorrow!

However, she started to push her limits after hearing Eddison’s words.

“Of course! Who doesn’t know how to drink?”

“Don’t force yourself!”

“I’m not!”

After that, she poured herself a generous glass of wine and took a sip.

She drank it in a hurry, but the red wine didn’t taste as good as it had when she was attending a social etiquette class before.

However, as soon as she downed it, she got all worked up again.
