One Night Stand With That Beggar

The next day was the day for Sugar Bun to go abroad.

The whole family went to see him off at the airport. On the way there, Amos kept comforting Eudora.

On the way there, Amos kept comforting Eudora, “When a child grows up, he has to leave home to learn more things. Sugar Bun has always been treated well when he’s with us. I have also made arrangements for him over there, so don’t worry.”

Eudora promised to restrain her emotions till Sugar Bun passed the security checkpoint.

She just reminded him to pay attention to his health and reminded him to give her a call when he arrived there.

It was not until the figure of her son disappeared at the security checkpoint that tears started to well up Eudora’s eyes.

Amos saw her brooding eyes, therefore he reached out to hold her and tried to change the subject.

“I just saw a bakery over there and they sell your favorite cake. I’ll buy one for you!”

Eudora sniffed and said, “Sugar Bun also likes that cake.”

Amos was rendered speechless.

“Then we won’t eat the cake anymore. I’ll go shopping with you.”

“I’m not going! I’m not in the mood!”

Amos was incredibly anxious as he looked at Naomi and gave her a hint with his eyes.

“Hurry up and console your mother!”

Naomi let out a cry of pain and said, “Mom, my stomach hurts.”

Eudora instantly reacted by saying, “What’s going on? Why do you have a stomachache? Did you eat something bad? Let’s go to the hospital!”

Amos secretly gave Naomi a thumbs-up behind Eudora’s back.

Only Naomi knew how to deal with Eudora effectively.

…

As soon as they left the airport, Naomi received a call from Nelson.

“Miss George, are you free now? I’ve found a place that is related to our project. I want to invite you to have a look there!”

Naomi glanced at Eudora.

She answered Nelson hesitantly, “Can you hold on for a while?”

Eudora came to her senses and asked, “Who is it? Does it have to do with your job?”NôvelDrama.Org content.

Nelson was slightly stunned upon hearing Eudora’s voice. He pursed his lips and stayed quiet.

Naomi replied, “It’s a client. He said he wanted to talk about the project.”

“Go ahead! I’m fine now.”

Naomi hesitated and asked, “Are you really alright?”

“With your father here, what could happen to me?”

Naomi thought about it carefully and agreed with her. With her father’s capabilities, wouldn’t he handle Eudora even better?

“Then, I’ll get going first. I’ll come back later to keep you company!”

Looking at Naomi’s retreating back, Amos took another look at Eudora again. He said, “I’ll go home with you.”

Eudora stretched her hand out to take out her phone and announced, “I want to watch some short clips of mine.”

Amos was at a loss of words.

…

Naomi rushed to the destination where Nelson had mentioned. When she arrived, she found out that he was already waiting there.

Unlike their previous meeting, he wore a white shirt with trousers, looking like a young teenager.

As she got closer, she noticed that he was holding two cups of lattes in his hands.

He stretched his hand out and handed Naomi one of the cups. He said, “I noticed that they’re having a promotion where you can get the second cup of latte at half-price, so I bought one more. Here, have it!”

Naomi took a sip after thanking him.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. It turned out to be a caramel latte, the drink he liked. How could there be such a wonderful coincidence in this world?

Just as she was thinking about that, another two male students walked past them.

One of them said, “I want to drink a latte. There’s an offer that the second cup will be at half-price. Let’s go buy it.”

“I don’t want to buy the second cup with you. That’s for couples! Don’t you know that? That couple over there is an example.”

Then, their gaze went straight to Naomi and Nelson, which almost choked Naomi.

“No, it’s not what you think!”

The two male students smiled mischievously at her and said, “Don’t be shy, we all can tell!”

After that, the two of them walked away.

Naomi looked at Nelson, slightly embarrassed and said, “This…”

Nelson shook his head and said, “What a misunderstanding! It’s cute though, isn’t it?”

Naomi’s heart skipped a beat. She had no idea what his words meant, but for some reason, she felt a little giddy.

She frowned and quickly suppressed the feeling.

“What’s wrong with me recently? Why does my heart suddenly skip a beat from time to time?” she reflected on herself.

She changed the subject and said, “Oh, by the way, where’s the place that you mentioned just now?”

Nelson pointed to the front and said, “Over there! I heard that there are many antique buildings there. Weren’t we at our wits’ end that day because we couldn’t find a way to integrate some old-fashioned elements into our project? That’s why I thought we could come here and have a look. Maybe we could get some inspiration out of it.”

It was supposed to be the work of the designer, but Naomi still nodded and followed him.

On the way, the two of them did not walk side-by-side but instead one ahead of the other. Somehow, they attracted the attention of many middle-aged women who were nearby.

One woman, in particular, called out passionately and said, “Dear, don’t stand so far away from your boyfriend, that’s not the way to act while you’re on a date!”

Naomi had no idea how to respond to that. Hence, she just lowered her head.

Nelson, who was walking in front of her, turned back and noticed Naomi with her head hung low. Actually, Naomi was kind of confused as she had always felt that she was a domineering lady.

However, to her surprise, it was the first time in her life that she had become a timid girl.

Nelson pursed his lips and said, “I’m sorry that I’ve troubled you.”

Naomi hurriedly shook her head and replied, “I’m fine!”

“Hold up for a moment!” Nelson said. After that, he walked over to the woman.

Naomi was curious and she looked at him as he walked all the way to the woman and said something to her. Soon, the woman came over and apologized to Naomi.

Soon, the woman came over and apologized to Naomi, “I’m sorry that I’ve said something wrong. Don’t mind my words and don’t take it to heart!”

Naomi waved her hand and said, “It’s alright. Please don’t say that.”

The woman nodded and said, “That’s good to hear. You must be a good girl.”

After that, the woman suddenly leaned close to Naomi and whispered, “Although you’re not dating him yet, I think the two of you are a perfect match! It’s worth a try, so go for it!”

Naomi was startled as she watched her leave.

She looked suspiciously at Nelson and asked, “What did you say to her? Why did she apologize to me all of a sudden?”

Nelson said with a grin, “Nothing much! I’m just telling her that I’m pursuing you but we are not in a relationship yet, thus I hope that she won’t scare you away!”

Naomi was astounded.

Looking at Naomi’s reaction, Nelson burst into laughter.

“I’m just kidding! I wouldn’t dare to say that. What if you don’t like me? Don’t you think I’d be very embarrassed by then?”

Naomi couldn’t help but wonder whether she liked him or not. After a few seconds, she hit her head.

She reminded herself voicelessly, “Stop focusing on nonsense!”

“What did that woman say to you in the end?” Nelson asked.

Naomi quickly ended their conversation and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s go and look at the buildings!”

After that, she ran away.

Therefore, she failed to notice that Nelson had thrown his cup of latte into the dustbin behind her.

She also failed to notice that the smile on Nelson’s face had gradually faded away. He stood where he was for a while before he caught up with her.
