One Night Stand With That Beggar

Naomi immediately changed the topic by saying, “I’m going to the meeting.”

As they spoke, her phone rang again.

The secretary took a look and said, “It’s from Mr. Olsen.”

Naomi said, “I’m late to the meeting! I’ll talk to him after the meeting!”

The meeting lasted for a few hours. After a few hours, Naomi stood tiredly in front of the sink. She looked more mature than she did before.

She was indeed no longer the innocent girl she used to be.

She remembered that before she went to the meeting, the secretary had mentioned that there was a message from Culver. She took out her phone and clicked on the message. The next second, her hand trembled, and her phone fell to the ground.

…

When Naomi arrived at the funeral home, Culver was already waiting for her at the entrance.

“When did it happen?”

Naomi tried hard to hold back her emotions along the way, but the moment she opened her mouth, her emotions flowed out.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Last night! I asked someone to bring his body back as soon as I got the news. He passed away peacefully without any pain.”

Naomi sniffed and said, “Take me to him!”

Nelson laid inside the funeral hall, and flowers were placed on the table beside him.

As Culver said, he had passed away peacefully. In the past few years, he had been living in seclusion. Except for the New Year’s card she would receive every year, it was as if Nelson never existed.

Looking at his body, Naomi thought of her past. Everything was like a movie. The difference was that at the end of the movie, there was one less person in her world.

“He has actually been living in Rosaville City for the past two years. He didn’t leave at all.”

Culver’s voice was low as he said so.

Stunned, Naomi asked, “Where was he?”

“He was in the suburbs. It’s just that he hid himself.” As he spoke, Culver took out a letter and handed it to Naomi.

“I found this under his pillow. It’s addressed to you!”

Naomi took the letter and saw her name written on the cover. It was handwritten by Nelson.

She opened the letter with trembling hands. It was only a thin piece of paper.

It read, “Dear Naomi.”

“By the time you see this letter, perhaps I am no longer in this world.”

“I had reckoned that my life was meaningless, but because of you, I am suddenly grateful to God for letting me come to this world!”

“Initially, I was going to make you happy, but I ended up being the one who hurt you the most in the end!”

“Naomi, I’m incredibly sorry!”

“Therefore, in the last period of my life, I tried my best to stay by your side. In fact, I wanted to help you find a person whom you could entrust your life to.”

“However, I did not expect that I would screw things up yet again. Nevertheless, it was a blessing in disguise for me to discover Culver’s love for you.”

“He is better than me, because he loves you more than I do. Therefore, he’s the one you should spend the rest of his life with.”

“After making sure of all that, I could finally stay away from you with my heart at ease.”

“Naomi, let go of the past! Let those memories disappear along with me.”

“If it’s possible, I hope you’ll forget me.”

“If it’s possible, I also hope that you won’t meet me in the next life! Only in that way, will you be truly happy!”

“Goodbye, my dear Naomi.”

“The years are long, but please don’t think about the past anymore. The path ahead of you is even more beautiful!”

“Love, Vincent Granger.”

He had written the name ‘Vincent Granger’, not ‘Nelson Luther’.

A teardrop fell on the word ‘Vincent Granger’. Naomi turned around and smiled at him.

“Okay! I promise you.”

…

In a foreign country, Eudora and Amos received a call from Naomi.

“Mom, I’m getting married!”

At the same time, Eudora was preparing some baby clothes.

Beside her, Amos muttered, “You’ve been busy for the whole day. Aren’t you going to rest? We just found out about the baby and it’s too early for you to cook up such a fuss.”

“It’s not too early! Time flies by really fast!”

After that, the phone rang, and Eudora grinned from ear to ear.

“We received two pieces of good news! This time, we really have to go home quickly.”

Amos looked at the small courtyard. It was not large, but in the past two years, he and Eudora had filled the courtyard with flowers they had planted.

Every morning, they would go shopping together. Then, they would come back to cook. In the afternoon, they would water the plants in the backyard and harvest the vegetables together.

He was a little reluctant to part with the place.

Eudora complained in a low voice, “As their father, how could you act like this? You left everything to the children so that we could enjoy ourselves here.”

Amos sighed, “Alright, I’ll do as I’m told!”

“That’s more like it!” Eudora said as she picked up the baby clothes that she had prepared.

“As I see it, I’m going to prepare another set for Naomi!”

“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go to bed! We’ll continue tomorrow.” With that, Amos did not care whether she was willing or not and he immediately picked her up, bringing her into the room.

Eudora was so shocked that her jaw dropped. She insisted, “Put me down. Do you still think you’re still young? You are going to dislocate your bones! If that happens, I would have to serve you.”

“You don’t want to serve me anymore?” Amos frowned.

Exasperated, Eudora retorted, “You’re really getting more and more childish! When did I say that? Haven’t I been following you around for the past few years?”

Amos kept quiet, but Eudora muttered to herself again.

“Speaking of which, why do you want to live here? Isn’t our house nice enough?”

Amos shook his head and said, “It’s nice there, but that incident has always been one of my regrets. I want to experience everything you went through, including those years with you that I missed.”

Eudora was stunned. She had thought of many possible answers, but she did not expect Amos to give her such an explanation.

Her eyes were a little moist, and she reached out to hold Amos’s neck.

“If so, why don’t we visit Brooklyn after we attend Naomi’s wedding and meet her and Eddison?”

Taken aback, Amos asked, “Are you sure you want to do that?”

“Since you want to make things up to me, I want to live through the few years I missed with you too! I’ve made up my mind! From now on, let’s live through each of our regrets together and fill them up with memories. What do you think?”

“That’s a good idea!”

Truth be told, life was quite simple. Meeting someone with the same goals and being able to understand each other was a huge blessing in life. However, life could also be difficult too, because many people could not find someone with the same goals even after searching for a lifetime.

Therefore, Eudora and Amos were extremely lucky!

As they laid on the bed, Eudora held Amos’s hand.

“Thank you, Amos, you old man.”

Amos turned his head to the side, “Thank you too, Eudora, you old lady.”

It was because Eudora was in his life that he was able to experience many different emotions, from the sweet to the sour.

Even those sufferings and torture were a blessing to him because of Eudora.

“Who are you calling an old lady?” Eudora was displeased.

“You have gray hair, so aren’t you an old lady? Besides, you were the one who called me an old man first.”

“Then, should I call you ‘Handsome’? Would you be able to accept that title?”

“Forget it!” Amos said as he shook his head.

“I knew you would not reply to me if I called you ‘Handsome’!”

“No, I wouldn’t! Since you’re an old lady, I would be a better match for you if I were an old man!”

Eudora curved her lips and laughed, her eyes just like crescent moons.

Amos touched her eyebrows and said, “I love you, my dear old lady!”

“My precious old man, I love you too!”

After that, they looked at each other. They held each other’s hands, closed their eyes, and fell asleep.

Amos thought to himself, “As long as you are in my life, I’ll be satisfied.”
