After he admitted his crime, Michael was taken away by the police. Eliza shifted on the bed carefully. She could feel the warmth of Beau's palm holding her waist. Since she was placing her focus on Michael and the policemen just now, she didn't realize that she looked like a loving couple with Beau. Now, there were only two of them left in the ward. The atmosphere inside the room was romantic and the lights were warm. The distance between them was so close that they could feel the rhythm of each other's breathing. Since she hadn't been in an intimate relationship with anyone before, she felt slightly uncomfortable with Beau sitting so close to her. He could literally feel her every movement. Eliza's face was flushed red because she could still feel his hands holding on to her waist, After a long while, she bit her lip and said, "Mr. Valentine, now that they've all left, I think we should let go of each other." Just now,
Eliza opened her mouth. Just as she wanted to say something, a spoonful of rice was shoved into her mouth. She could not even speak. It was as if she was gagged. Feeling helpless, she had no choice but to swallow the food. Just when she opened her mouth to speak again, Beau shoved another spoonful of vegetables into her mouth. Just like that, Beau assisted her until she finished her dinner. At first, Eliza wanted to refuse his gesture. However, she gave in in the end. After all, using her left hand to eat was very inconvenient. Besides, Beau was the one who injured her, so it was only natural for him to pay for it. As she was eating, she looked up at Beau. Beau seemed to be a cold and introverted man, which gave off a feeling that he was arrogant and an unfriendly person. However, Eliza could feel that he was really careful and gentle while feeding her. Under the kitchen lights, she could see his defined facial features. It
Eliza couldn't resist his kiss at all. She felt like drowning with every administration of his lips, until- "Ouch!" When Beau grabbed her shoulder, Eliza couldn't help but gasp in pain. The romantic atmosphere disappeared instantly. Beau stood up and looked at her with a frown. "What's wrong?" Even though he was led astray by his emotions just now, Beau was still careful enough to avoid her injured wrist. Why did she give off such a strong reaction just from touching her shoulders? "I'm fine." Eliza was in so much pain that she couldn't get up from the bed. Beau's hand was placed directly on the wound on her shoulder just now. Noticing that something was amiss, Beau reached out and tore off her clothes. The white gauze on Eliza's shoulder was stained with blood. Beau widened his eyes in shock. "Did Michael Lewis do this to you?" "No, it wasn't him." "I accidentally injured myself while at work."
"Why not?" Eliza looked really puzzled. "What did I do?" The director glanced at her irritably. "I don't know. It's an order from the higher-ups. They said that you are not allowed to work as a stuntwoman anymore." "If you have time to ask me, why don't you think about what you did to offend them?" The director looked at Eliza disappointedly. "From today onwards, you can be a stand-in actress instead. Even though you'll earn less from it, at least you'll have more free time." "You can also take the opportunity to think about your mistakes!" Eliza returned backstage with a gloomy face. Graciana comforted her, "Don't be sad. working as a stand-in actress is not bad as well." Stand-ins took the place of principal actors and they worked closely with camera setups. The weather was scorching hot. Standing under the sun, Eliza was sweating from head to toe. As she stood like a mere prop in the background, she thought to herself
Eliza almost spat out the juice in her mouth. She lowered her voice. "Is she Demarion's online friend?" Eliza was already shocked enough to know that Demarion was making friends on the internet. Now, she was dumbfounded to see that the so-called friend was Esme. "Don't make a sound. Let's just watch." Braint lowered his head and sent a message on his phone. Over there, Esme sat down at the reserved table and took out a small mirror. While she was fixing her makeup, she also made phone calls to show off to her best friend. "I'm at the restaurant now. Rodolfo said that he'll be here soon." "I wonder why men like to fawn over me. We just talked for two days and he has already gifted me a ten karat diamond ring." "He also told me that he'll announce our relationship to media outlets after meeting me today. Imagine that, I'll be in the headlines and I'll be the happiest woman in Krine!" "Yes, rest assured. I will definitely invite you to
When they walked out of the restaurant, they saw a black Maserati parked outside. Braint let go of Eliza's hand and went straight to the passenger's seat. Eliza had no choice but to open the door of the back seat. At the back seat, Beau was sitting there in silence as he stared at his laptop sternly. Although they had been married for some time, Eliza couldn't help but admire his beauty whenever she saw his impeccable facial features. "Why are you here..." He didn't even raise his head. Still concentrating on the computer screen, he tapped on the keyboard gently. "As a parent, I have to go to the police station in person when my son is in trouble." Eliza pursed her lips and sat inside. "Are you aware of what happened?" Beau stopped what he was doing and turned to fixate his gaze at her. "Do you really think the kids can get a ten-karat diamond ring without my permission?" Eliza was dumbfounded. The children wouldn't be able to
The surroundings quieted down instantly. Esme and Presley looked at the couple in shock. Then, they stared at each other in disbelief. "Are... are you Mr. Valentine?" Esme mustered up her courage and asked. Beau smiled and placed his hand on Eliza's shoulder, "Yes, that's me." Presley was so shocked she couldn't even speak! "How is this possible?" she thought. The whole reason Presley forced Eliza to get married in Esme's stead was that Mr. Valentine was a cruel and ugly monster! Rumors had it that the fire had wrecked him, both inside and out. Now, the monster was standing before them, but he was nothing as the rumors described. Beau had incredibly handsome looks which radiated his intimidating aura. "Honey, let me introduce you to my family." Eliza wrapped her arm around Beau and smiled proudly. "This person here is my stepmother, Presley Stafford. The other one is my stepsister, Esme Lawson." Beau raised his eye
The Valentine family's villa. Eliza hummed joyfully as she prepared dinner in the kitchen. Demarion moved over a small stool and sat in the center of the kitchen. He rested his chin on both hands and tilted his head to look at Eliza. "Mommy." Eliza, who was busy cutting the vegetables, paused and looked at him. "What's wrong?" "If only you were my biological mommy." He stared into her eyes seriously and said, "You know, our eyes look the same. What if you actually turn out to be my biological mother?" Eliza smiled helplessly as she turned around to continue doing her task at hand. "I've never given birth to children..." She stopped abruptly. She did have a miscarriage five years before. Did that count as having experience in giving birth? Eliza's heart ached when she thought about her past. She changed the topic instantly, "Have you never seen your biological mother before?" "No, I've never seen her before." Demar
