One Night Stand With That Beggar

Eudora George shook her head at the servant and said, “No worries. I got it.”

Since they were already here, she might as well be prepared to respect all of his requests. There was no point getting angry at a man whose days on earth were numbered. What was more, he was Amos’ father.

She loved him, so she was willing to do whatever it took to make him happy.

The Old Master initially thought that she would refuse. He didn’t expect her to agree just like that.

Then, he added, “I’m giving you half an hour to find all those books.”

The servant next to him couldn’t help saying, “Old Master, there is no way you will be able to finish reading so many books!”

“What? Are you guys also going to control the number of books I read now? I like to pile the books that I want in front of me. Is that not allowed?”

The servant was speechless, “But, Miss George alone…”

“Are you her servant or mine?” the Old Master glared at her and his temper sparked again. Eudora shook her head hurriedly, “I’ll go. I will start looking now.”

“If you can’t finish finding all the books in 30 minutes, you are not allowed to have lunch.”

“Fine by me. I’ll just think of it as dieting!”

After that, Eudora left immediately.

When she pursued her degree in designing in the past, she would often visit the bookstore to look for information. Therefore, Eudora was very familiar with the place.

She also knew that the way that the books were arranged. Generally speaking, they were classified according to the genre, author’s name, and then tile. Eudora read through the list briefly and classified all of the books according to the author’s name.

After that, she started scanning through the bookshelves one at a time.

She then decided to borrow a small cart from the staff so that she did not need to carry the books. She found one and placed it in the cart, then continued on.

Soon, twenty minutes had passed. the Old Master looked down at his wristwatch.

“Hah! I knew that she would not be able to find them all in 30 minutes!”

The servant next to him was also anxious. Miss George was a good person, and she didn’t want her to skip lunch.

Looking at the end of the corridor with eager eyes, the servant began to count down the seconds in her heart.

Ten, nine, eight… two

As soon as she was about to finish counting, she saw a small cart emerge from the end of the corridor. Eudora trotted over with a cart full of books.

The servant was so excited that she nearly jumped for joy, “Miss George, you are awesome…”

The corners of the Old Master’s mouth also curled up, but soon, he reverted to his cold face.

“What’s she awesome for? All she did was find a few books.”

The servant curled her lips, took the books that Eudora had found hurriedly, and handed it all to the Old Master.

The Old Master read two pages of one of the books and spoke.

“I can’t read this. Come and read it for me!”

Eudora had no choice but to go over and read it slowly for him. The morning sun started streaming in through the window of the shop, shining on the table.

The Old Master squinted his eyes as he listened to Eudora reading slowly.

Through his squinted eyes, he saw Eudora’s gentle face as she buried it in the book. He couldn’t help but mutter in his heart. She was one patient woman.

Eudora didn’t know what he was thinking. She just kept reading the book.

A moment later, she realized that the Old Master had fallen asleep, so she gradually lowered her voice and stopped reading.

The servant next to her immediately handed her a glass of water, “Miss George, here! Have some water!”

Eudora was a little thirsty, so she immediately accepted it and drank it all.

The servant said again, “Miss George, the Old Master’s temper is like that. Please don’t take it to heart. In fact, I pity him. He used to be a good person. However, after he got sick, he became bad-tempered. In fact, he had always wanted to get to know Juju, but Juju seemed to be afraid of him. And the Young Master and the Old Master had never had a good relationship, so although they live together, the Young Master rarely comes to see him…”

“Shut up!” the Old Master had woken up without them noticing. At this point, he was staring at the servant sternly.

“Why are you such a busybody?”

The servant was startled and she shook her head hurriedly, “I’m sorry. I was just… just…”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“You’ve been dismissed!” the Old Master gritted his teeth, “You’d better leave now!”

Eudora frowned, “She didn’t say anything wrong, neither did she do anything wrong. She was just doing this for your own good. What’s the point of you firing her?”

“I don’t need others to feel sorry for me. I’m the Old Master of the Granger family and the chairman of the Valiant East Group. I have everything!”

“Since you have everything, then what are you afraid of? Only those who lack things in their lives will be afraid of other people.”

The Old Master was so angry that he leaned back, “You… you just want to piss me off…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Old Master began to hyperventilate. The servant was scared of her wits and she went to grab the box of medicine that she had brought with her hurriedly, “Old master, please hold on!”

Eudora also realized that she was a little too harsh, so she called the servant hurriedly.

“Where’s the doctor whom I had asked you to arrange to come with us? Hurry up and call him over.”

Only then did the servant react, she then turned around to run in the other direction. At this moment, Eudora took out the medicine quickly and handed it to the Old Master, “Here. Take the medicine please.”

The Old Master pushed her away, “You’re a hypocrite. I know that you are a scourge, just like Tiffany! I want to see how Amos is going to blame you if I were to die in front of you!”

Eudora pursed her lips, “Will Amos blame me? I’m not so sure about that. However, we all have only one life. Do you really think that you already have everything planned out? Don’t you want to just enjoy life? Don’t you want to get to know Juju? You haven’t had Amos’ cooking yet, have you? Don’t you want to have a try?”

The Old Master felt every single word that Eudora said.

He thought about it over and over again.

He had lived for more than 70 years, and every day, he dreamt of that kind of life. However, he also knew that this was very difficult to achieve, so he did not dare to hope for it.

At most, he was only willing to dream of living in the same house with his kids and grandkids. As long as they were close by, it was enough.

“You…” He hesitated.

“I could help you realize those wishes!” Eudora said.

“Really?”

“Of course!” Eudora nodded. You know my relationship with Amos, don’t you? If I insist on it, he will not refuse. After all, Juju is my daughter.

In the end, Eudora managed to stir his heart. However, he had to admit that what she said was true. Amos was willing to do whatever she wanted.

“Why are you willing to do this? It’s obvious that I am purposely making things difficult for you.”

Eudora curved her lips and said, “To be honest, I am not doing this just for you. Do you know that happiness is two-sided? It’s difficult for a person to be happy with just himself. It is easier for two people to experience happiness as there would be an exchange of love between the two parties. I hope that my man and my children would not only receive love but that they would also get to enjoy happiness. A life like that is meaningful, don’t you think?”

Hearing this, the Old Master looked at Eudora in a daze.

This woman, whom he had never thought highly of, seemed to have taught him a lesson in life. In the past, no one had ever spoken to him like this before. He had never known that love and happiness could be explained in this way.
