One Night Stand With That Beggar

They beat Sierra up so harshly that she fell to the ground.

Moreover, every student had been scolded by Harrington because of her. Therefore, no one wanted to save her at all.

She had no choice but to ask Rachel for help.

“I’m sorry, Rachel. It’s my fault. Please help me!”

Rachel cast a cold glance at her. She was a softhearted person, but she would not treat everyone with compassion.

She had given Sierra many chances in the past, but Sierra had failed to cherish them. Rachel would think herself as a fool if she were to believe Sierra’s words again.

Hence, Rachel turned her head away and pretended not to see Sierra.

Then, Sierra turned to ask Eddison for help, “Eddie, you must help me! Have you forgotten who was the one who guided you to the dormitory on your first day in university? Haven’t I taken good care of you all these years? How could you watch from the sidelines as I’m getting beaten up?”

Hearing her words, Eddison stopped in his tracks.

At the same time, Rachel looked at him concernedly.

She said, “If you feel like you want to let this thing go, then let’s forget about the whole thing.”

Eddison shook his head. He replied, “I wasn’t thinking of helping her. It’s just that she brought up the past events between us to fish for my sympathy, so I was wondering if that made you jealous.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Rachel was rendered speechless.

“I wasn’t-”

“Great!” Eddison replied while turning around to look at Sierra.

“I remember all of it, but I’ve helped you a lot over the years. We’re even now.”

Since Sierra’s words had failed to work out as she had expected, she began to talk about the past to arouse his solicitude.

“You secretly raised half a million dollars for me when I participated in the competition last time. It proves that you care about me. Why are you so cruel to me now? That little b*tch put you up to this, didn’t she? RacheI, you monster! I hope you’ll die miserably!”

Rachel was stunned.

She was surprised that Sierra was still pointing fingers at her after the incident.

On top of that, Sierra had cursed her.

Her behavior was intolerable.

Rachel let go of Eddison’s hand and walked towards Sierra.

The onlookers around were excited to see what would happen next, thus they made way for her. Rachel walked straight to Sierra and stared at her.

She asked, “Girls, may I have a minute with her?”

Her classmates used to have a good impression of her before they were misled by Sierra. Although Rachel was not stylish, she was gentle and sweet, making her a likeable person.

Since the misunderstanding had been resolved, they were willing to comply with her request. Soon, everyone stopped beating Sierra up.

They moved out to surround Sierra and Rachel in the middle, allowing them to have a talk. Sierra struggled to stand up, and then she scowled at Rachel.

“What I said was right, wasn’t it? Let me tell you, even if you defeat me now, Eddison will still think of me.”

“Really?” said Rachel before she turned to look at Eddison. She asked, “What do you think of that?”

He answered unhesitatingly, “No, I won’t! Once her ugly side has been revealed, I can no longer forget about it.”

He had finally seen Sierra’s true colors, and he felt that he was simply a fool to be deceived by her in the past few years.

Upon hearing his words, Sierra retorted.

“Do you really believe his words? All men are liars!”

Rachel turned around and crooked her finger at Eddison as she called out for him, “Eddison Granger, come here!”

He walked over instantly and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Not saying another word, Rachel stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips in front of everyone.

At the sight of that, everyone gasped in amazement and gave them a round of applause. Some students even cheered and whistled.

Sierra was the only one who was displeased, “You-”

Rachel smiled and said, “Oops! I’m sorry, Sierra! I’m just trying to verify whether what you just said was true. Now it seems that your words are not necessarily correct. Thank you for reminding me, though.”

Sierra was taken aback by Rachel’s taunt.

She fainted right away.

…

As usual, Rachel sat in the living room for a while before she went back to her room to shower and go to bed.

Unexpectedly, she was dragged over and pressed against the door of the bathroom by a man as soon as she came out.

“What are you doing?”

Rachel looked at Eddison’s approaching face nervously, and soon her breathing quickened.

He smiled at her, “My beloved Mrs. Granger, you are a bit forgetful these days. You kissed me in front of so many people today, so it’s my turn now.”

Rachel tried to explain, “We were-”

Before she could finish her sentence, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Rachel’s mind went blank all of a sudden. All she did in the end was just open her eyes wide and count his eyelashes.

It was not until she was placed on a bed that she discovered he had already moved his belongings and luggage to her room.

They had a wonderful night in the room.

It seemed that her marriage was finally on the right track.

…

On the other side, Eudora suddenly woke up from her delightful dream at midnight.

She laughed cheerfully.

Amos was awakened by her laughter. He turned on the lamp.

“What’s wrong?”

Eudora smiled and snuggled close to him, “I dreamed about Rachel getting pregnant!”

Amos said indifferently, “Okay. Are you thirsty? I’ll pour you a glass of water.”

To her displeasure, he didn’t seem to be happy.

“Why aren’t you happy? Isn’t that good news?”

Amos replied pitifully, “Relatively speaking, I would prefer you to dream about me.”

Eudora was at a loss for words.

“You’re so old, yet you’re still so petty!”

Amos held her tightly in his arms, “So what if  am? Our children are living their own lives, but you are a part of mine!”

Touched, Eudora caressed his arms gently.

“I know. I’ll continue to sleep, so hopefully I’ll dream about you later, okay?”

“The same goes for me.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then they slowly entered their dreams.

…

Concurrently, there was another person who also woke up from a dream.

Naomi patted her own chest in dismay. She had dreamt about the day of her engagement.

In her dream, she stood in the crowd in a bridal gown, watching her beloved man betray her.

Mocking laughter from the onlookers lingered in her mind, causing her to have a headache.

Naomi took a deep breath, got up, and went to the kitchen to drink some water. Only then did she feel better.

The windows at the kitchen were open and she let the gentle breeze cool her body as she was covered in sweat due to the tension caused by her dream.

Naomi subconsciously leaned against the window, but in the next second, a figure downstairs caught her attention.

A man was standing under a streetlamp by the roadside.

He was facing her, and it seemed that he had been looking at her all the time.

To her consternation, she found out that the man was Nelson.

Had he been there for the whole night? What was he trying to do?
