One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos’s cell phone rang. Then, he got up and walked out.

Outside the door, Clint Zuckerberg had just arrived with breakfast. He handed it to Amos Granger and spoke.

“Yesterday, I checked out the place where Miss George and the Old Master were at. There is something strange there. I took some pictures. Here, have a look.”

Amos took the phone and swiped through the pictures. Clint spoke again.

“President Granger, look here. You would miss it if you don’t look at it closely. There are some shallow tracks here. Whoever did it had deliberately covered their tracks and left some heavy footprints behind. That was why there were still some traces left. According to Miss George, Old Master was the only one there, so why were there footprints behind him?”

“Anything else?” Amos asked.

Clint shook his head, “Sorry, we only have this clue. The person left only footprints. I’ve searched everywhere, but I couldn’t find anything else.”

“That’s impossible!” Amos said, “Mountain trails are mostly the same. If the rain is the reason behind the footprints, I am pretty sure that the footprints would be found elsewhere too. You should check again. Remember to be careful and discreet.”

“Got it,” Clint nodded. He turned around and was about to leave.

Amos suddenly said, “Oh, by the way, could you help me look for a restaurant that makes good chicken essences soup? Then send some over tonight.”

Clint suddenly understood, “Is Miss George craving for it? Leave it to me. I’ll make the necessary arrangements right away.”

After sending Clint away, Amos walked back into the room. Eudora had finished drinking all of the soup and she let out a satisfying sigh as she rubbed her belly.

She felt as though she had been caught red-handed. She had good intentions, but she had to pay for it.

Amos was amused by her look, “Do you know what you look like now?”

Eudora George shook her head, “What?”

“A bulging frog.”

Eudora was speechless.

She glanced at him angrily, pulled him over, and kissed him on the face, “You’ve been kissed by a frog, and now you’re also a frog!”

Amos laughed, “It doesn’t matter. I don’t mind being a frog with you.”

Eudora was at a loss for words. He was not angry at all.

After a moment of silence, Amos said, “Do you want to go out and get some fresh air?”

Eudora nodded, but soon she began to hesitate, “Am I disrupting your work?”

“What’s more important than you?”

Well, this guy was surely a smooth-talker. She had no way of winning against him.

Amos quickly found a wheelchair, carried her, and placed her into the wheelchair. Then, he brought her downstairs.

Although it was autumn, the sun was still shining brightly. The trees in the hospital were also lush. The breeze blew and the musky sweet smell of leaves filled the air.

Amos pushed her wheelchair. The more she thought about it, the more she thought of this incident as a blessing in disguise.

It was a pity that she had to stay off her feet for a period of time. Otherwise, everything would have been great.

Eudora spent the whole morning in the garden. As the sun approached its highest point, Amos brought her back to the room.

The two of them chatted as they walked.

Eudora sighed solemnly, “Amos, I realized that our family members are fated to end up in wheelchairs.”

Amos smiled as he thought about it, “You still have the nerve to say that.”

“Think about yourself back then.”

However, the person in question was completely unperturbed, “Didn’t I do that for you? You have no conscience.”

Eudora rolled her eyes at him, “For me? Or because you were avoiding some other woman?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Woman?” Steven Granger’s voice suddenly piped up from behind. He seemed intrigued.

Eudora was stunned. Before she could say anything, Amos had already spoken, “What are you doing here?”

“I obviously came to visit Eudora,” Steven smiled and said, “I should have come earlier, but Eudora was hospitalized yesterday, and I was worried that you would need to sort things out and I didn’t want to get in the way. That’s why I didn’t come yesterday.”

He then quickly walked over and looked at Eudora’s foot, “How’s your foot? Is it better?”

Eudora shook her head, “It’s fine!”

Steven looked at her suspiciously and said, “Eudora, you shouldn’t be so reckless next time. If anything were to happen to you, Amos would be devastated.”

Amos frowned, “Why are you so free? Shouldn’t you be working on your amusement park?”

“I’m mostly done. That’s why I’m here to see you, Eudora.”

Eudora did not say a word because she realized that somebody was behind Steven. From the moment they entered until then, she had been standing there without a word. Eudora almost did not notice her presence.

When the person realized that Eudora was looking at her, she smiled at Eudora in an unprecedented way.

“Sister…..”

Eudora frowned, “Kesha, what the h*ll are you doing here?”

Kesha was dressed particularly conservatively, which was completely different from the Kesha whom she knew before. Especially when she spoke-when did Kesha start call her ‘sister’? It seemed as though she was a completely different person.

While she was still lost in thought, Steven extended his hand and grabbed Kesha’s, pulling her close to him.

“Eudora, Kesha is my girlfriend now.”

Eudora was stunned, “What?”

“Yeah. We started dating not long ago. I heard from Steven that you were in the hospital, so I decided to come and visit you.”

“Are you two serious?” Eudora felt like she could not understand this strange world.

“Of course!” Steven said, “I’m going to bring Kesha home for dinner later.”

Amos pursed his lips, “Steven, will your parents agree with that?”

Steven smiled and said, “It is up to me. I believe that as long as I’m sincere, my parents will approve of our relationship!”

Eudora didn’t want to listen to them anymore. She had no comments about who Steven chose to date. She was fine as long as they didn’t flaunt their relationship in front of her.

“Amos, let’s head back to our room…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Kesha suddenly shouted, “Sister, are you still angry at me? I know that I did not handle things well in the past. I was young and naive. Will you forgive me? I promise to be better in the future.”

Eudora frowned and then spoke to Kesha solemnly.

“Let me be clear with you then. I will never forgive you. Don’t waste your time on me.”

After closing the door, Eudora said angrily, “What is happening? Why do I have a feeling that Kesha did it on purpose?”

Eudora couldn’t help thinking that way. Kesha had never gotten along with her. Suddenly, here she was, apologizing and speaking to her in such a courteous tone. She was really confused and her heart was in a mess.

Amos snorted, “If you think that she’s faking it, then I am pretty sure that Steven is faking it as well.”

Eudora was stunned for a moment, but then she understood.

“Are you saying that Steven purposely got together with Kesha because he wanted to piss me off? But what good would he get out of it?”

Amos walked over and hugged Eudora.

“Kesha wants to marry Steven, but what if she can’t marry Steven because of you? What will she do then?”

Eudora suddenly understood, “So, Steven does not have any good intentions. Even though he appears to be on good terms with us, his goal is actually to get a chance to cope with us…”

Although Eudora had always thought that that was the case, now that it was real and happening right before her eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a little stunned.
