One Night Stand With That Beggar

Amos Granger shook his head helplessly. If Eudora was a man, she might be even more of a workaholic than he was.

After that, Amos took a book out casually. He suddenly felt that he was just like an old man, relaxed and calm.

When his phone rang, he opened the door and went out.

Clint’s voice came anxiously from the phone, “President Granger, it is confirmed that Second Master Harry had used the funds that we have collected to buy some piece of land. After investigating, I found out that the owner of the land was he himself, even though the official legal owner was registered under his wife’s brother’s name.”

Harry Granger finally couldn’t hold back his greed anymore. Amos smiled faintly, “What about the Cooper family?”

“Jeremy Cooper worked well with Thomas Shelby last time. He thought that he would get the deal easily, but he didn’t expect that there would be a competitor all of a sudden. He must be very upset after losing to Second Master Harry.”

“I would be worried if he wasn’t upset!” Amos laughed.

Clint was confused, “What do you mean?”

“Nothing. When are they making the deal?” Amos suddenly asked.

“It seems that they are meeting on the day after tomorrow at the Church of Repayment.”

Amos nodded, “What a place to make the deal.”

He then hung up and looked at his wristwatch. It was already almost forty minutes, but it seemed that Eudora had no intention to stop working.

Frowning, he carried her up from her seat.

Eudora was shocked, “Amos, you…”

“It’s time for you to rest!” He walked towards the bed.

Eudora did not want to rest as she had been resting in bed for the past half a month. Her back ached as soon as she saw the bed.

“I don’t want to rest. Shall I go downstairs to play with Cola then? It’s been a while since he last saw me.”

Amos shook his head, “No.”

“Why?” Eudora uttered a wail.

“If you don’t rest today, how are we going out tomorrow then?”

“Hmm?” Eudora was stunned, “Were we going out tomorrow?”

“Yeah, didn’t you say that you were bored?”

“But I…” She would rather stay at home to check the drafts of the design blueprints.

“Have you heard of the Church of Repayment? I heard that the Statue of Jesus at that place dates back to the 16th century. I know that you appreciate such art. Wouldn’t you want to go there and have a look?”

As expected, Eudora became excited when she heard this.

“Yes! I want to go.”

“You should rest well then! We’ll depart early tomorrow morning.”

He then put the blanket on Eudora and lay down beside her. He had been sleeping on the small bed at the hospital for the past few days, so it had been a while since he had a good rest.

They soon fell asleep.

The next day, Eudora felt as though she was being carried when she was still asleep. She found herself already in the car after she woke up. The car drove forward slowly as her head was laid on Amos’ thighs.

Amos was reading a book, and there was a soft sound of paper flipping from time to time.

Eudora closed her eyes and slept or a little longer, enjoying the coziness. She finally sat up after a long while.

The Church of Repayment was not very far away from their house. However, because of the rugged mountain roads, it still took them a few hours to reach there.

Just like Amos had mentioned, the Statue of Jesus was indeed an impressive European Sculpture. It gave off a strong sense of historical solemnity since it had been there for a long time.

Eudora seemed energetic after seeing the statue. She took out her phone and started taking photos.

Their rooms were already ready when she was done taking pictures.

Eudora sat down in their room in the backyard and looked at the photos that she had taken after unpacking her luggage.

At this moment, Amos hugged her from behind.

“Another half an hour has passed.”

“Ah? What?” Eudora protested, “But I’m not tired at all!”

“That does not change the rule that we have set!” Amos immediately carried her up. The two of them then sat on a wooden couch by the window. There was a forest in the backyard. It was incredibly pleasant as the breeze blew on their face.

Eudora looked at the scenery for a while and suddenly came up with an idea. She brought her laptop over and started to design immediately as she looked at the forest.

Since Amos had already said that they would be together forever,

then she had to work harder and strive to reach the same level as him. She would prove herself to the Granger family with her own ability. She wanted them to know that she was the most suitable person for Amos even though she did not come from a powerful and influential family.

She did not pay attention to the time once she started to get busy. It was already late when she was done with her design.

At this moment, a nun knocked on the door, “Dear guest, it’s dinner time.”

“Has it been that long already” Eudora was surprised.

Amos had no choice but to say, “You really are a workaholic!”

Everyone in the church had dinner together. The food tasted not bad and Eudora enjoyed it.

Two more people came into the dining place. Amos stood up and said, “Uncle Harry!”

Harry Granger seemed to be surprised by the voice. When he saw Amos, he was also stunned for a while, “Why are you here?”

“What else could I do here? Of course, I’m here to worship God.”

There seemed to be a subtle meaning behind Amos’ words. Harry laughed, “Yes. I’m also here to worship God with my wife.”

Kaylene Yoder nodded, “Why don’t we sit together then?”

Eudora knew Amos well. She thought that he would reject the invitation. However, Amos nodded and said, “Sure!”

Kaylene seemed to be surprised as well. After pausing for half a second, she settled in a seat at the table.

The atmosphere started to become a little awkward. Kaylene then took the initiative to start a conversation by asking, “Miss George, are you feeling better?”

“Oh, yeah. I feel much better now,” Eudora didn’t know what their intentions were, so she answered vaguely.

The four of them started to eat quietly.

After the meal, Harry asked them, “What are your plans tomorrow? I remember that there is a mountain in the east which seems to be quite interesting. Would you like your Aunt Kaylene to bring you there tomorrow?”

Amos smiled faintly.

“It seems that God had really changed you after your prayers. Uncle Harry, your temper has become much better.”

Harry’s face froze, and then he said with a smile, “Am I not always good-tempered?”

Just then, Amos’s cell phone rang. He got up and walked away. When he left, Kaylene asked Eudora again, “I will take you to the hill in the east tomorrow…”

“Sorry, I still haven’t fully recovered yet. The doctor said that it would best for me to rest more. I’m sorry that I could not take up your offer.”

Eudora was not stupid. She noticed that Amos had deliberately ignored their invitation just now, which meant that he didn’t want to go at all. Besides, Harry’s family was not as kind as they seemed to be, so she did not want to get involved with them as well.

However, they were still Amos’ elders, so it was inappropriate to reject them directly. Therefore, Eudora used her injury as an excuse to decline the invitation.

As expected, Harry and Kaylene didn’t say anything further. They just got up and left.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
