One Night Stand With That Beggar

Even Kaylene Yoder looked like the Madam of the house as she barked out instructions to the staff in the yard.

“Here and here. How did you guys miss so many spots?”

“How could you put the vase there? Do you even know how ugly it looks?”

“This tree needs some trimming! It’s growing out of shape.”

Deep down, Eudora George felt like rolling her eyes. It just happened that Kaylene spotted them right at this moment. At this moment, she was walking over to welcome them.

“Amos! Eudora! You came at the right time! How does the yard look?”

Eudora nodded courteously, but Amos simply said, “We’re going to go change.”

“Okay! You better hurry. Do come over late!”

Kaylene had never been so polite. What was the meaning behind all of these?

Amos Granger snorted faintly and said, “It seems that Steven is bringing your sister back home for dinner.”

Eudora was speechless.

“So Kesha is behind this, but what does this have to do with me?” Eudora was puzzled as she thought about it.

“Both your Uncle and Auntie should know that I have never been on good terms with Kesha, so why are they asking me to come over too?”

“Nobody knows that you’ve cut ties with her. In their eyes, both of you are biological sisters, and that’s all that matters to them!”

Eudora was truly at a loss for words.

So, was this their intention all along? Were they trying to show that they were close to Amos?

“Are we still going then?” Deep down, Eudora was reluctant.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to. I’ll go by myself.”

“No!” Eudora quickly grabbed him and said, “If you’re going, I’m coming along too.”

It was just Kesha, so why should she be afraid?

“Alright then.”

After changing, Eudora returned to the main house. Harry Granger had prepared the whole hall for the dinner with Kesha. When they walked in, he was sitting on the sofa, enjoying his tea.

Seeing that Amos was looking at him, he explained casually.

“I’ve explained to Bethany. Since Steven bringing his girlfriend home, we thought that it is an occasion we should celebrate.”

Amos nodded, “Of course!”

Harry looked at Eudora with a smile, “Steven mentioned that he met her when he went to collect the house decorations with you at that time. That’s why I invited you over. It looks like Steven and Amos are going to be husbands of sisters.”

“Ah,” Eudora replied faintly. Then, she heard one of the servants announcing, “Miss Kesha has arrived.”

“Welcome her in!”

Eudora and Amos found their seats and sat down. Soon, they saw the servant entering the hall with Kesha George.

One could easily tell that Kesha was keen on making an impression. She had taken the time to dress up for the dinner. She looked very put together, unlike how she normally was.

After exchanging greetings with the rest of the Granger family, she sat down beside Eudora and greeted her, “Sister!”

Eudora remained calm. Discreetly, Kesha leaned in and whispered into her ear.

“Eudora, do you think that you’re the only one who’s becoming a part of the Granger family? Look where I am now.”

Eudora couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. These people were obviously trying to take advantage of her. Did she really think that Steven liked her? If it were someone else, she would have given them a warning.

However, on second thought, Kesha wasn’t dumb. Everything she did always had a purpose.

What if Kesha actually knew more than she let on? Eudora thought it would be better if she just kept quiet.

“As long as you’re happy,” Eudora said.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Kaylene had finished the preparation and was entering the hall. When she saw Kesha, she felt satisfied. Kesha was a beautiful girl and she had taken the initiative to dress up today, so she looked good.

After exchanging a few formalities, Kaylene immediately handed her heirloom to Kesha.

After Kesha rejected it a few times just for show, she eventually accepted it and put it away gleefully. Kaylene then complained, “Where’s Steven? Why isn’t he back yet? I’ll give him a call.”

After Kaylene left, Kesha started to brag.

“Eudora, do you have any heirlooms?”

Eudora couldn’t be bothered to pay any attention to her, “I would advise you to take good care of it. I’m not sure that you could afford to lose it.”

Kesha’s face darkened, but soon, she smiled again, “It looks like someone is jealous!”

“Young Master Steven is back!” someone announced from the entrance.

Kesha was excited when she thought of the flowers that she had asked Steven to bring with him. If the heirloom couldn’t make Eudora jealous, perhaps the 999 roses would!

Thinking of this, she felt like rushing out of her seat and grabbing the flowers.

And that was exactly what she did. She tugged on Eudora and put on a meaningful look and said, “Eudora, come, I have something to talk with you.”

Eudora wanted to know what she was up to, so she tagged along with her.

When they got outside, Kesha laughed, “Eudora, do you think that you are the only one with flowers? I’ve got them too.”

After that, she laughed haughtily and pointed behind her, “Have a look.”

Eudora looked in the direction in which she was pointing and saw Steven holding a bouquet of roughly 99 roses. She nodded slightly and said, “Oh, that’s yours!”

Kesha immediately turned to look. When she realized that there were only 99 roses in his hands, she immediately became disappointed.

Didn’t she say that the more the better? Steven was from a wealthy family, so why couldn’t he buy her something as simple as that?

However, for the sake of her dignity, she had to maintain a pristine image. She had to make sure that she got everybody’s respect.

“At first, Steven wanted to buy me more, but I told him not to waste so much money. Yet, he bought such a big bouquet for me. What a pain….”

Before she could even finish her sentence, she saw Steven handing the bouquet to Kaylene.

Kaylene’s face glowed with happiness as she accepted the flowers. She handed the bouquet to the servant beside her and told them, “Hurry, take it and put it in a vase.”

Kesha was speechless.

Eudora nearly burst out with laughter, “Well, it seems like your flowers are all gone. Do you still want me to stand here and watch?”

Kesha was about to stomp her feet in anger when Kaylene walked over. Seeing both of them, Kaylene couldn’t help but praise her own son.

“Steven has always been close to me since he was young. Looks like I did a good job raising him. He even got me flowers!”

Kesha almost bit off her own tongue as she turned to look at Steven with displeasure.

Eudora followed behind Kaylene as they walked back into the house. After they left, Kesha turned to Steven and said unhappily, “Didn’t you say that you were going to buy flowers for me?”

“I did, but my mother likes flowers too. She’s an old woman. You’re not jealous, are you? I’ll get them for you next time.”

Kesha wasn’t done, but when she saw that Steven looked a little impatient, she didn’t dare to say anything else.

She had no choice but to swallow her anger and follow Steven in.

Inside, Amos saw Eudora return and asked casually, “What happened?”

Eudora snickered, “She wanted to flaunt Steven’s affection to trigger me. Well, it didn’t work.”

Hearing this, Amos seemed to sink into his own thoughts.
