One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos froze for a second and asked, “Why do you ask such a question?”

Her conversation with the Old Master about how a child should grow up in a loving environment echoed in her thoughts.

“No reason. If you are…” She replied.

“I don’t want to!” Amos quickly interrupted.

It was as if he was afraid that she would blurt out more unreasonable requests.

He added, “Who do you think you are? We are not in that kind of relationship. Having a child with you is not what I look for.”

“Oh!” Eudora’s heart skipped a beat. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked such an absurd question.”

Although she knew in her heart that this was going to happen, she still felt inexplicably upset and disappointed when she heard it herself from Amos.

Even though she knew that she shouldn’t have expected much from their relationship since the beginning, but she realised that perhaps deep inside her heart, there was still a little sliver of hope.

Annoyed at her facial expression, Amos threw the remote control onto the table and strode to his room.

…

In the Granger family.

Raw anger shot through Harry. He returned to this room and scolded the servant who was cleaning his room for no reason.

Kaylene walked over and asked, “What’s wrong? I thought you were happy to see your brother. Who made you so angry? Did he bother you?”

“Ah! Don’t mention that old man! We have done so much for the Granger family all these years. When Zulia passed away, I accompanied him every day to comfort him. And now since he had found Amos back, he tried to take away and give all my rights to him. He even wants Amos and that woman to have a child of their own!” Harry yelled.

Stunned, Kaylene asked, “Doesn’t your brother hate that woman?”

“So what? He just wants a child! Don’t you understand? As long as their bloodline can be passed down, our family will be tossed out like used toilet paper!” He bellowed.

She finally understood what was going on. Her expression changed instantly.

“That’s so selfish of him! What should we do?” She said.

“We should”–Harry sneered–“not let that child be born! Otherwise, we will lose our rights in the family!”

“But how could we get close to that woman when Amos is always watching over her?” She put her hand under her chin.

“So what? I’m sure there will be times when he’s not around.” Harry paused for a moment and asked, “Have you gone to see Samantha lately?”

Kaylene paused and answered, “Well, I did. But she’s still depressed and sleeps all day.”

“It seems like this girl really likes Amos! When we adopted her, we thought that she could be useful one day, and we could possibly marry her off to someone influential when she grows up. Now it seems like she is useless.”

Kaylene nodded immediately. “I’ll see her again in the next few days.”

…

Amos was not in his room when Eudora got up the next morning.

She looked to the side of the bed next to her. It looked like he never came back at all.

He spent an entire night outside…

Eudora sat quietly for a while, staring into space before she washed up.

She saw Aunt Valerie when she went downstairs, who then informed her, “Sir went out late last night. What would you like to eat for breakfast?”

Eudora shook her head. She knew that something was wrong.

She went to the balcony and decided to grab a book to read. Although the weather was nice, she couldn’t read a word. Cola came to her legs and looked at her with its black eyes.

“Cola, what’s wrong with him? Do you think he’s still mad?” Eudora asked.

Cola replied by licking her hand. She wasn’t sure if she should cry or laugh at it.

Ringgggg! She quickly got up and answered her phone.

It was from Harley Louis. He said on the phone, “Hey Sister-in-law, are you free now?”

“What’s wrong?” She asked.

“Come to my place and bring Amos back. He’s drunk,” Harley glanced at Amos, who was smoking at the balcony. He thought to himself, “Bro, I can only help you this much.”

Harley hung up the phone happily when he heard Eudora’s anxious reply. She said she would go and pick Amos up right away.

Harley went to Amos with a cup of coffee on his hand while looking at the ashtray on the table overflowing with cigarette butts.

He complained, “Are you going to spread nuclear weapons and kill me?”

Amos rolled his eyes. “Who did you call just now?”

Harley felt a shiver down his back. He was pretty sure that he did this at somewhere Amos couldn’t see or hear him. He wondered how he had noticed it.

“My colleague. Just something about work.” He blurted.

Amos could tell that he was lying instantly. But, surprisingly, he didn’t question any further.

Harley sighed, “Hey, you are in trouble. I can tell that you have fallen head over heels for her based on your current situation.”

“Shut up!” Amos yelled.

Harley took another sip of coffee and continued, “Man up! You should just talk to her if it’s troubling you. Hiding at my place is not going to help, and it makes me look down on you.”

“Oh really?” Amos said coldly, “Do you?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ah!” Harley laughed loudly to conceal his nervousness, “I gotta go. I got something else to do.”

He quickly disappeared.

However, he ran back three seconds later and shouted, “Boss, Sister-in-law is hurt!”

Amos glanced at him coldly and warned, “Don’t you dare joke about her!”

“I swear I’m not lying. Something really happened to her. I just received a phone call…” Harley replied.

Before he could finish his words, Amos pushed him away and dashed out of the room.

By the time they arrived, the police had already cordoned off the scene. The ambulance was also there. It was total chaos.

Harley showed his ID to the policemen for access and entered the scene with Amos.

“What happened?” Harley asked.

“A car crash. Two cars collided. One turned over. And a passenger is still in it…” The police officer told.

Amos tried to go closer to the destroyed cars when the officer was explaining what happened.

Blood was seen streaming slowly out of the car, like a blooming rose.

Dumbfounded, Harley closed his mouth with hands and whispered, “It’s all my fault. If I didn’t call her, she wouldn’t have…”

Amos ignored him and rushed towards the car. The firemen who were putting off the fire yelled at him, “Sir, you can’t go there. The car will explode!”

Amos didn’t care. He even pushed away Harley who was trying to stop him. He couldn’t imagine his life without her.

He picked up a brick on the ground and smashed the window glass.

Everyone quickly gathered around and helped to open the passenger door.

More blood flowed out from the car as soon as the door was opened.

The situation was far more serious than what they had been told. Amos’ heart sank. He had never been this scared in his life.
