One Night Stand With That Beggar

When Eudora George woke up the next day, Amos Granger had left the house.

After lying on the bed for a while, Eudora got up from bed and went out to buy groceries.

As soon as she got outside, she saw Laura Westin standing by the door. Eudora was stunned for a moment and turned around to avoid her.

Unexpectedly, Laura chased after her.

“Eudora, I have something to tell you.”

Her mother-in-law had never spoken so politely to her before. Eudora raised her eyebrows. “I think the George family had already told you my decision. I don’t have anything else to say to you!”

Hearing this, Laura lowered her head.

She was just a woman from the countryside. She thought that her son was very powerful, but she didn’t expect that Amos was much more powerful than her son.

When she thought of how her son had been tortured in prison, she didn’t know what to do anymore.

“I know. I’m not here to look for trouble. I’m here to tell you that we will grant you the divorce. Just tell Amos to let my son go!”

“You will grant me the divorce?”

“Yes, I promise. As soon as Felix comes out, he will sign the divorce agreement immediately!”

Laura still had some influence in the Meyer family. Since she had promised so, Felix would listen to her too.

But Eudora was still wary of them. Especially when she recalled what Felix Meyer had done to her. Once bitten, twice shy. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Ask him to sign the divorce agreement first then I’ll ask Amos to let him out.”

“Eudora George!” Laura’s face darkened, but for the sake of her son, she held back.

“I’m begging you. Felix have never suffered so much before. Would you take pity on an old person like me?”

Eudora frowned. She had been married to the Meyer family for three years. In the past, she had always been nice to her mother-in-law, never failing to serve her everything she needed. Laura, on the other hand, never treated her well.

Eudora never thought that just as they were about to get a divorce, Laura would come over and plead to her.

“The way things work in this world…”

“No way!”

Eudora was still hesitant. She had suffered so much all her life, she didn’t want to be betrayed again. “Instead of begging me, why don’t you waste your energy persuading Felix to sign the divorce agreement!”

Eudora turned around to leave.

Laura was so angry that she chased after Eudora and tried to hit her. Eudora raised her head and looked straight at Laura. “Take a look at where we are and consider whether that would be the right thing to do or not.”

Laura clenched her teeth, “Isn’t he just Amos Granger? What will happen if I hit you?”

“Why don’t you give it a try? Let’s see what happens after.”

Laura hesitated. She remembered that Amos did not give mercy even to Eudora’s own biological father, what more her mother-in-law. Her hand stopped midair.

She lowered her hand and left, dejected.

Eudora sighed and turned around for the supermarket. Unexpectedly, she saw Amos standing in front of her.

He smirked at her, his eyes filled with mischief. “Did I hear you mention my name?”

Eudora was a little embarrassed. “I… I didn’t mean to use your name to scare people away! I’m sorry.”

Amos said casually, “It doesn’t matter. You’re obviously a cute little kitty, aren’t you? Feisty, but still cute.”

Eudora was even more embarrassed and she quickly changed the subject. “Why are you back?”

“Well, if I wasn’t back, I wouldn’t have been able to see such a satisfying scene happening in front of me, would I?”

Eudora pursed her lips, “Oh my God.”

“Anyway, someone’s here to see you..” After saying this, he turned around and behind him was Kesha George.

Eudora frowned. “Why is she here?”

“Sister!” Kesha was frightened the entire night after her conversation with Amos. She dared not sleep, nor did she have any appetite to eat. She looked like she aged for 10 years.

With dark circles under her eyes, she ran over to Eudora and pleaded to her. “Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said those mean words to you yesterday. It’s all my fault. Please don’t be angry.”

Eudora was stunned. “Mr. Granger…”

“Weren’t you upset yesterday because of her?” Amos said in a low voice, “She’s here now. You can do anything you want to her.”

Eudora’s heart sank. She shook her head lightly.

Amos Granger and his way of dealing with things. Eudora sighed, “I’m going back first.”

“Sister!” Kesha was about to chase after her but was stopped by Clint Zuckerberg, who was standing next to Amos. “You are not allowed to go there.”

“Mr. Granger!” Kesha begged Amos again. “I’ve already apologized to my sister. You saw it too. She refused to give me a chance.”

“Get lost!” Amos shouted impatiently.

Kesha trembled at Amos’ temper and scurried away quickly.

Clint looked at the direction that Eudora had left to and asked, “President Granger, should I chase after Miss George?”

“No need!” Amos’ face darkened. “Ask Harley to meet me.”

…

Half an hour later, in the club.

When Harley Louis entered the room, he saw Amos sitting on the sofa with a grim expression. The girls in the room all sat far away from Amos and looked at him in fear.

Harley waved his hand, “Everyone. Get out.”

Hearing this, everyone ran out to leave the room.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Harley poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile, “What’s wrong? To what do I owe the pleasure to your presence at this hour? Is something wrong?”

“Shut up!”

“Oh!” Harley raised his glass and finished the wine in a gulp. “Is Madam upset at you?”

Amos’ expression turned sour.

“That’s what I’m talking about!” Harley suddenly said, “Even I can’t stand it. Obviously Madam wouldn’t have it as well. Can’t you be a little more gentle? You’re always talking about violence, yelling and killing people all the time. Are you trying to scare her away?”

Amos lit up a cigarette slowly. ‘Scare her away?’

Could the reason she was acting this way not because of Kesha, but because she felt that he was too scary?

Amos’ lips twitched. It wasn’t his choice that he was born into this kind of family. From young he was taught that there were no better solutions other than violence. If he hadn’t been so tough, would he have survived till now?

“Did I hit the right spot?” Harley laughed. “Women are meant to be loved and cared for. They are not your enemies! Especially your delicate little lady. If you are gentle to her, I’m sure she will fall in love with you.”

Amos ignored him. He put his cigarette out and stood up.

Harley was stunned, “Where are you going?”

“Home!”

“What the f*ck!” Harley couldn’t believe his ears. “Didn’t you say that people like you can’t have a home? Why are you saying that you’re going home now? And why are you saying it so casually?”

Amos threw a pillow at Harley’s face.

When Amos reached home, Eudora was sitting on the sofa in a daze. When she saw him enter the room, she quickly got up and said, “I will go and cook.”

Amos grabbed her hand before she could run away.

“Do you think that I am too violent?”

Eudora was stunned for a moment and then shook her head. Thinking about the events today, she also felt that she had overreacted a little.

“I’m sorry, I know I don’t have the right to ask you to change anything. And I know that you’re doing this for my own good. It’s my fault this time. I’m sorry. I won’t do it next time.”

The man wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a tight hug.

“No, you have every right to.”
