One Night Stand With That Beggar

Bethany Hamilton shook her head, “I’ve already forgotten everything that had happened in the past.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

However, the Old Master still remembered all of them very clearly, “At that time, I refused to accept my family’s arrangement, and I refused to treat you well. Later, I thought of getting a divorce. When I look back now, I realize how stupid I was at that time. I have hurt you and myself for my entire life. In the end, I also hurt her. I have learned my lesson. I will take every chance that comes at me in my next life.”

Bethany smiled and said, “Okay. I understand. It’s late. Go to sleep!”

The Old Master nodded and finally closed his eyes. After that, Bethany tucked him in and went out.

…

Kaylene Yoder had been waiting patiently outside the room. When she saw Bethany emerging from the room, she stormed over angrily.

“Bethany, did you hear that? The Old Master did not hand Valiant East to you. Instead, he gave it to Amos…”

Bethany’s expression did not change, but she said blandly, “Didn’t the old man say that Amos will take care of Vincent and me…”

“Bethany, are you that gullible? Do you really believe that he would do that? Amos is not your son. And Juju is a bully. She dared to bully Vincent in front of the Old Master. What do you think will happen in the future? Even if you don’t care about yourself, you should at least do it for Vincent, right?”

Bethany frowned, “That’s enough. I just want to take good care of the Old Master now. I don’t want to think about anything else.”

Kaylene felt as though she had wasted all her effort trying to persuade Bethany. She was so angry that she could not stand it.

“Bethany, what’s the point of treating him so well? You’re not even his favorite woman. It’s her! Otherwise, why didn’t he leave anything for you? You…”

Before she finished speaking, Bethany suddenly raised her hand and gave Kaylene a slap.

Kaylene was stunned. Not only did Bethany slap her, but there was also a flash of hatred on her face. This was something she had never seen before.

After being stunned for three seconds, Bethany retracted her hand and silently retreated into her room.

Kaylene stood there for a while before she turned around and went back to her place.

As soon as she arrived back at her place, Harry Granger ran over.

“How did it go? What was Bethany’s reaction?”

“What reaction? She’s just the same as before. She even slapped me! If I were to treat her well from now on, consider me a maniac!”

Harry frowned and said, “That’s impossible! Does she really not have any thoughts on the Old Master’s plan?”

“Anyway, don’t ask me to talk to her anymore,” After that, Kaylene gritted her teeth and went back.

Harry turned his head and looked in the direction of the Ruby House. His face darkened even more. It seemed like it was time to do something!

…

After that night, the Old Master was in poor health for a period of time. Even the family dinner that he would usually hold every week had been canceled.

However, Juju was acting a little strange. Before this, she did not like having family dinner with the Old Master, but recently she was always looking forward to it.

Every day, she would ask, “Mommy, when are we going to the main room for dinner?”

Eudora would then say, “Why?”

Juju was a little shy, but she still expressed her thoughts clearly.

“I want to see Grandpa. Grandpa did not look too good the other day. So…”

Juju was a good child. Eudora nodded and said, “Then let’s go and see Grandpa. We don’t have to wait till dinner to see him.”

“But, Grandpa is not really fond of you…..”

It turned out that this little girl was actually worried about this. Juju was still so young, yet she was already considering for her mother! Eudora felt a little distressed, “It’s okay!”

Recently, the Old Master often went to feed the fishes whenever he felt up for it, so Eudora brought Juju to the fish pond.

As soon as they arrived, they saw the Old Master sitting next to the fish pond with only Vincent Granger by his side.

When Juju saw Vincent, she immediately lost the urge to see her Grandpa.

“Mommy, forget it. We will just look at Grandpa from here.”

Eudora nodded, “Then, we’ll watch Grandpa here!” Just as they were watching the Old Master and Vincent from a distance, the boy suddenly stumbled backward, and the Old Master suddenly convulsed.

Vincent was so scared that he fell to the ground and did not dare to move.

At this moment, Eudora had no time to think about anything else. She quickly ran over with Juju.

“Are you alright?”

The Old Master pointed at his pocket with one hand as he was in too much pain. Realizing that he was indicating that the medicine was in his pocket, Eudora took out the bottle hurriedly and handed a pill to him.

Just as she was about to turn around to look for some water, Juju had already taken some water from the cabinet behind her and handed it over.

“Grandpa, here, have some water.”

The child’s worry and fear were the purest forms of emotions. Did she just call him ‘Grandpa’?

With trembling hands, the Old Master seemed to have totally forgotten about the water as he asked, “What did you just call me?”

Juju was still staring at the water, “Grandpa, drink some water!”

The Old Master accepted the water with a smile and reached out to hold Juju in his arms, “My good granddaughter! Aren’t you afraid of Grandpa anymore? Did I look scary just now?”

Juju shook her head, but soon, she nodded again.

“You looked scary, but I shouldn’t be afraid. Grandpa needs my help.”

What a good girl!

The Old Master sighed with gratitude, and then he saw Vincent, who had sat up from the ground. At this moment, his frightened expression had faded, but yet, he did not dare to approach.

The Old Master was a little disappointed. This grandson of his was not as brave as this little girl. He was glad that Amos had helped him manage his shares. In this way, no matter what happened in the future, he would be at ease for the rest of his life.

Seeing that the Old Master was alright now, Eudora told Juju, “Your father is coming back soon. Let’s head back first!”

Juju nodded. They were about to leave when the Old Master stopped them.

“Have you finished designing the amusement park? Do you have any other jobs that you’re working on?”

Eudora did not know what the Old Master meant. However, the amusement park project was not a secret, so she told him the truth.

“I don’t have much work for the time being. As there is still a lot to be done for the amusement park, so I need to start doing that first.”

The Old Master nodded and said, “That means you are free! I am wondering if you would take care of me on Amos’ behalf for the following days?”

Eudora was stunned, “Me?”

She couldn’t figure it out. Didn’t the Old Master hate her? Why did he want her to hang around him all of a sudden? It wouldn’t be good for him, would it?

Furthermore… Then, she said somewhat bluntly, “Aren’t you afraid that I would poison you?”

The old man smiled unexpectedly,  “You won’t! I am Amos’s father. If you were to poison me, he would definitely not let you live. He will break up with you!”

The Old Master was really sure of it.

“May I know the reason please?” Eudora said.

“There’s no particular reason for it. Just think of me as a bad old man who wants to torture you before he dies. Anyway, you will take care of me from tomorrow onward. Otherwise, even if I die, I won’t let you and Amos be together.”
