Chapter 3 I Will Protect You From Now On

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
Eliza was busy preparing a plate of Japanese-style omelet rice in the kitchen. After spending more than 20 minutes in the kitchen, dinner was served. Aside from the omelet rice, she also prepared some delicious cheese croquettes. "Braint, dinner is ready!"

Braint glanced at the time. There were still fifteen minutes left before 8 o'clock.

He jumped off the sofa and walked towards the kitchen slowly. Then, he sat down in the kitchen.

On the second floor, Demarion wiped off the saliva on the corner of his lips. He snorted. "I'm sure the food doesn't taste good, though it does smell nice."

"It's delicious."

Braint praised Eliza the moment he put the food inside his mouth. It was as if he had heard Demarion's comments from upstairs.

Eliza smiled, "Really? I can prepare more delicacies for you in the future."

Something struck her mind as she asked, "Braint, why are you here so late at night? Where are your parents?"

"Are you Mr. Valentine's guest?"

Based on the rumors flying around, she was sure that Mr. Valentine didn't have children of his own.

Braint frowned and nodded, "Yes, sort of."

"Just as I expected."

Eliza nodded. "Even though he doesn't have good looks, I'm sure he has a kind heart."

Well, considering that Mr. Valentine had a child playing around in his house, Eliza felt that he wasn't as crazy as she thought he would be.

"He's not ugly."

Braint took a mouthful of rice and reminded her again in a low voice.

On the second floor, Beau squinted at Demarion, who was drooling profusely. It seemed like he was comparing the differences between his two children.

Braint was trying his best to protect Beau's reputation. On the other hand, Demarion was trying to make the whole world think that his father was an ugly monster.

Demarion pouted as he said unhappily, "I don't want a stranger to be my mother."

Beau frowned slightly as he turned to leave.

As Braint finished his meal downstairs, it was already 8:10 at night.

He did enjoy his meal to the fullest.

Braint used a small plate to put the remaining cheese croquettes on it, preparing to take them upstairs. "You should rest early."

When he reached the final flight of stairs, he turned around and looked at Eliza, who was standing rooted to the ground. "Don't worry."

"I will protect you from now on."

Although Braint was a young child with a small figure, he exuded a charismatic aura. He didn't sound or look like a typical 5-year-old at all.

Eliza was stunned for a moment.

When she looked at his small figure from behind, she felt really amused.

Even though she still couldn't get used to her new environment, she wasn't desperate enough to rely on a young child like Braint.

Eliza turned to the kitchen and started cleaning up. Once she was done, she couldn't bring herself to sleep in the terrifying bedroom again.

Finally, she laid on the couch, using her jacket to cover up herself.

In the children's room.

Braint put the plate of delicious cheese croquettes at Demarion's bedside.

Demarion turned his back and faced the wall. "I won't eat it."

"Oh, okay."

Then, Braint took the plate and put it at the desk beside his own bed.

Demarion was speechless.

He muttered unhappily, "Didn't you promise to drive those women away with me? You told me you didn't want a stepmother!"

"How dare you betray my trust! You traitor!"

Braint sat on his bed and glanced at Demarion's back. "She's really good at cooking."

"I don't care! She's not our mother!"

Demarion scrapped the wallpaper with his fingers unhappily. "I only want my real mother."

On the opposite bed, Braint sighed. He looked at the ceiling and said softly, "But she's dead."

Braint was a lot more mature than Demarion. He knew that their mother was never coming back home.

Their father shouldn't be single for the rest of his life either.

That woman downstairs was not a bad candidate.

"She is not dead," Demarion muttered.

Demarion clenched his fists and shouted, "Mummy is definitely still alive! She's waiting for us to find her!"

Braint closed his eyes and ignored him.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the children's room quiet down, with the tantalizing scent of the cheese croquettes wafting in the air.

In the end, Demarion climbed down his bed and tiptoed to Braint's bedside. Then, he grabbed the plate and munched on the croquettes.

His eyes lit up with joy when the food entered his mouth.

It was really delicious!

It was 10 times better than the food cooked by the maids at home!

"Take the plate downstairs."

When Demarion was munching on the second piece, a childish voice echoed from Braint's bed, "Also, I won't allow you to pull pranks on her anymore."

"I like her, so she's under my protection now."

Demarion was speechless again.

The corners of his lips turned down. "Braint, you are acting very weird today."

In the past, Braint was indifferent to most of Demarion's pranks. But now, why was he trying to protect that woman?

Was it really because she was good at cooking?

While Demarion was preoccupied with his thoughts, he took another bite.

It was really delicious.

After he finished the croquettes, Demarion took the plate downstairs.

While he was walking down the stairs, he could spot Eliza sleeping on the sofa at one glance.

Curling up into a ball, she was still shivering from head to toe.

Demarion walked towards her and stared at her face.

"She's a pretty woman, and she's good at cooking too," Demarion thought.

"If only she's my biological mother..."

While Eliza was sleeping, she could feel someone staring at her.

Instantly, she woke up and saw the child from before standing in front of her.

With a plate in his hand, he was staring straight at her face.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "Are you... still hungry?"

"Why is he looking at me with an empty plate?" Eliza thought.

Demarion pursed his lips. He knew that she must've mistaken him as Braint. However, he still nodded and replied, "Yes."

He wasn't lying, he was still hungry.

Looking at the child's adorable appearance, Eliza's heart melted. She pinched his cheeks and said, "I'll go and make something for you to eat."

Once she finished speaking, she went into the kitchen as she pondered, "Didn't he say that he can't eat anything after 8 p.m.?"

Besides, she did cook a large portion for Braint just now.

Feeling confused, Eliza went into the kitchen and prepared a simple meal for Demarion.

The child devoured everything.

Eliza was stunned beyond words.

"Oh wow, this child... he has a really big appetite!" Eliza thought to herself.

She felt shocked when Demarion handed over the plate to her as he requested for more.

When he finished eating, Eliza couldn't help but ask, "Braint, you... you're really hungry, huh?"

Demarion froze. Then, he giggled, "Yeah, I eat a lot."

He reached out and showed her two of his fingers. "From now on, you should keep making good food for me. Double the portion, okay?"

Demarion remembered that Braint might leave the leftovers he didn't like to him. So, he emphasized his point again, "I want you to double the portion, and the food must be exactly the same, okay?"

Eliza was a bit stunned. But still, she nodded and smiled while cleaning the dishes. "You are a growing child. It's natural for you to eat more."

Eliza took out a box of biscuits and gave it to Demarion. "This is for you." It was actually meant as a gift for Mr. Valentine.

After that, she smiled and touched the child's head. "You should eat well and grow up healthily, okay?"

Demarion blushed as he ran upstairs with the box of biscuits.

Eliza heaved in a deep breath. When Demarion was out of sight, she went to the sofa and continued sleeping.

Upstairs.

On the table, an expensive phone vibrated, which indicated unread messages.

Beau picked up the phone and clicked on it.

The messages were as follows. Braint: Approved.

On the other hand, Demarion sent a voice message to his father. While munching on a box of biscuits, he said, "For now, I'll give her my approval. I still don't like her though."

"But she's so good at cooking. I'll compromise, just so I can enjoy good food every day."

Beau put down his mobile phone and gave an order. "Please arrange tomorrow's schedule for me. We will be registering for marriage tomorrow."

    The next morning, Eliza was woken up by the butler. The butler looked like a nice and kind gentleman. They met each other yesterday. At this moment, the butler was standing in front of her with a set of clothes in his hand. He asked, "Mrs. Valentine, why are you sleeping on the couch?" "You should get prepared. The employees from the City Hall will be here any minute now!" Eliza rubbed her forehead. Since she didn't sleep well last night, her head felt heavy. She frowned and looked at the butler with a confused expression, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure!" The butler smiled at her as he said, "Congratulations on passing the test. Mr. Valentine has decided to marry you. From now on, you are officially his wife." Almost instantly, Eliza came back to her senses. Everything seemed to happen too fast. She looked at the butler in shock as she asked, "Are you sure that he wants to marry me?" Eliza thought about yesterday. She li

    Beau opened the door with a gloomy expression. The room was filled with the smell of alcohol. On the tea table, there were a few bottles of wine, which he had treasured for many years. Each of them was worth millions. Now, the wine bottles were completely empty. A woman with a flushed complexion was laying on the sofa. While cursing under her breath, she would occasionally mention Beau's name. She was in a mess. A trace of displeasure flashed across Beau's face. Did she finally reveal her true colors after becoming his wife? Hearing the sound from the door, Eliza burped and turned around. "Who are you?" She was so drunk that she had completely lost her bearings. When she noticed someone coming in from the door, she stood up to welcome him. It was a handsome man. He had a high nose bridge and defined facial features. "He's just as handsome as Jay!" Eliza thought. "Wait, he is Jay!" How dare he appear in

    Looking at the cute little child in front of her, Eliza frowned as she thought, "He's hungry again?" She didn't think too much about it as she put on her jacket. Then, she went downstairs to prepare breakfast for Braint. While she was busy preparing breakfast, Eliza rolled up her sleeves, revealing her bruised arm. Sitting at the dining table, Braint frowned when he saw the red marks. When she finished preparing two portions of food, Braint fixated his gaze on Eliza. He had black and round eyes and his skin was fair. Besides, he also had defined facial features. Looking at his serious gaze, Eliza found Braint really adorable. She bent down and tried to make her voice as soft as possible. "What's wrong, Braint?" Braint pointed at her arm and said, "Did you hurt yourself?"  After that, he jumped off the chair and went to pick up the first aid kit in the cabinet. "Oh, I'm fine, don't worry." Eliza took the box away from him

    Braint frowned. He turned his head in confusion. "Daddy's not the one behind this?" Last night, the butler had made sure that nobody was in the house except for Beau and Eliza. If Beau was not the culprit, then who was it? The butler harrumphed softly, "Braint, please come with me." Braint gave Beau a suspicious look before jumping off the desk. Then, he followed the butler to the control room with surveillance cameras. In the control room. The butler searched for the footage of the corridors of the house yesterday. In the picture, Eliza, who was wrapped in a bath towel, stumbled out of the bedroom. She was so drunk she couldn't even figure out where she was heading. So, she kept turning around randomly in different directions. When she turned left, she hit a huge vase. When she turned right, she hit a decorative piece of furniture from beside. Eliza grimaced in pain, but she still insisted on screaming at a flowerpot located

    Eliza was a little confused. "Braint was just out for a walk, wasn't he?" "Then who's this?" she thought. She looked at the child, who was devouring the food. "You..." Eliza sat down in front of him and looked at his face. "You're not Braint, are you?" Demarion stopped eating all of a sudden. With his face smudged with grease, he looked up and said, "I am Braint!" Eliza wrapped her arms around her chest and said, "Are you Braint's twin brother?" She wouldn't mix them up. When she looked closely, she noticed that the person in front of her had a completely different personality from Braint. Noticing that he could no longer hide the truth, Demarion pouted and said, "All right, my name is Demarion." "Braint is my brother." "Beau is my father." Eliza was shocked beyond words. "You and Braint... are both Mr. Valentine's children?" Demarion gobbled a big piece of shrimp and said, "Yes." Eliza was

    Instantly, Eliza's face turned red from embarrassment.  Her heart drummed against her chest and felt like it would leap out. Quickly, she turned her face away, not daring to look at him. "It tastes good." Beau lowered his head while enjoying his noodles. He said casually, "The butler said you have something to say to me. What is it?" Only then did Eliza remember that she still had some important matters to discuss with him. "Mr. Valentine." Eliza looked up and stared at him seriously. "Before our marriage, I didn't know you have a pair of twin sons." Beau raised his eyebrows and said, "Before our marriage, I didn't know that you would finish all my expensive wine because of your ex-boyfriend." Eliza was speechless. She remembered the dream from last night. In the dream, they were fooling around in the bathtub... Maybe that wasn't a dream after all! She bit her lip. "It's wrong of me to drink your wine, but di

    "Eliza, you're finally here!" When Eliza arrived at Parson Media, the manager was already waiting for her at the entrance. The manager grabbed her hand and said, "I have a job for you. One of the drama cast of Shaiwood, Madeleine Robinson, wants you to be her stuntwoman! " "The price she offers is three times higher than what a stuntwoman earns!" After arriving at the workplace of the crew, Eliza put on makeup and her protective gear. The director didn't start the filming process, even though everything was prepared. The stuntman beside Eliza couldn't wait any longer as he said impatiently, "What are we waiting for?" "We are waiting for Ms. Robinson." "She said she wants to witness the scene herself because she's worried that the stuntwoman might do a sloppy job." The assistant director couldn't help but sigh, "Ms. Robinson is really beautiful and professional. Her talent is just beyond comparison!" Eliza wanted to laugh when

    The moment she left the set, Eliza walked to the nearby fresh market. She remembered that she was going to make dinner for Braint and Demarion today. "Sir, madam went to buy some groceries." The black Bentley stopped. Noah looked at Beau and asked, "Are we going to continue waiting, or..." Beau put down his phone and rolled down the window as he stared at Eliza's back. He had already figured out her relationship with those two. Apparently, Eliza's boyfriend cheated on her, and that woman turned out to be her best friend as well. They even had the audacity to make fun of her. Judging by her reaction the night she got drunk, Beau thought that Eliza would bawl her eyes out after meeting them. However... Beau frowned as he watched Eliza walk towards the market with a lightness in her steps, humming a cheerful tune. ...... After Eliza bought some ingredients, she passed by the stall selling fish. She had asked the butle

    Hollie stretched out her finger and lifted Eliza's chin. She clicked her tongue and said, "What's wrong? Are you very surprised? Can't you even differentiate yourself anymore?" "What exactly do you want to do?" Crazy! At this moment, Eliza only felt that Hollie was crazy. Only people who were completely insane would fall to such a state! Hollie sneered. "What else can I do? I just hate you. Eliza, do you think Beau can tell the difference? Don't worry, I'll definitely keep you alive." Suddenly, Hollie grabbed Eliza's chin and suddenly tightened it. Eliza's chin creaked as she was pinched. However, Eliza's eyes were still extremely stubborn. "In your dreams!" Eliza's gaze was gloomy as she berated her. "You will never become me. Even if you look the same as me, you are just an illegitimate daughter who's despised by others!" Slap. Hollie's eyes were bloodshot from anger. She raised her hand and gave Eliza a hard slap on

    "Eliza, are you okay?" Lyric, who had just picked up the phone, was about to open the door to see what was going on inside when she saw that Eliza had already come out. She changed into clean clothes. "Let's go." "What's wrong with your voice?" Lyric noticed that Eliza's voice was a little hoarse, and she asked with some worry, "Did you catch a cold? I'll make you some medicine later." "Okay." Eliza replied. Lyric felt that something was wrong, but she thought that Eliza was not feeling well, so she didn't ask more. Because he was worried about Eliza's health, the director didn't arrange for Eliza to shoot later. Lyric drove the car and prepared to send Eliza back. "Don't go back yet. Send me to a place." Eliza leaned against the chair in the back seat and spoke lazily. Hearing that Eliza's voice was so hoarse, Lyric hurriedly asked, "Eliza, why don't we go see a doctor first? Your situation doesn'

    "All hands on deck!" The director held a big loudspeaker and shouted loudly. For a time, the originally lively filming site immediately became serious. The actors and actresses also took their positions. "Eliza, are you sure you can do it?" Lyric, who was waiting by the side with a bath towel in her hand, frowned and asked with a worried face. If something went wrong, she really didn't know how to explain it to Beau! Eliza smiled at Lyric and comforted Lyric with her gaze. She said quietly, "It's going to be okay." The moment she turned her head, Eliza had already got into character. The main focus of this scene was the role of the second female lead played by Luna Snow. Because she was jealous of the role of the female lead played by Eliza, she took the opportunity and pushed the female lead into the water when she was not paying attention. Moreover, the second female lead even had to say vicious words to the female lead! "Be care

    "What happened to him?" When Eliza saw that Matthew was huffily leaving the set, she was instantly puzzled. Beau seemed to be used to it. He handed Eliza a cup of warm water and calmly replied, "Aren't you used to Matthew's presumptuous attitude yet? Roseane dotes on him but he doesn't dare to do this in front of me." Eliza smiled. "No one dares to be presumptuous in front of you." Beau touched Eliza's head and said in a doting tone, "Cough, what you said is right." Eliza wanted to say something to Matthew, but she saw Beau's phone ring. Beau's expression was very serious as he looked at the screen. She realized that something must have happened. "Beau, if you have anything to do, you should go and get busy first. Lyric and a few of your bodyguards are here. Nothing will happen." Eliza saw that Beau was looking at her with hesitation, so she took the initiative to persuade him to go and get busy. After all, Beau's career

    Early the next morning, Matthew followed Roseane everywhere like a clingy person. As long as Roseane had a scene with the male actor, Matthew would stand next to the director with a gloomy face and cold eyes. The cold air pressure emanating from his body, as well as the crunching teeth, were hard to be ignored. "Mr. Valentine..." The assistant director couldn't stand it anymore. He slowly moved to Matthew and suggested in a low voice, "Why don't you go to the lounge and wait for a while?" If it went on like this, they would not be able to finish shooting! The assistant director was so annoyed that he almost started scratching his hair! Matthew smiled and replied politely, "It's fine. I'm not tired." Help! The assistant director almost rolled his eyes. But he had to bite the bullet and smile awkwardly. As soon as Roseane finished a scene, Matthew ran over with his long legs and quickly helped her up. "What's wrong?" Matthew as

    "I haven't seen you for an entire day." Matthew's entire head was buried between Roseane's neck, rubbing against it non-stop. Afraid of the itch, Roseane held back her laughter and stroked Matthew's head. "Can you not be so childish? You're already a father." Hearing this, Matthew immediately squatted down, put his ear on Roseane's belly, and listened carefully. "Do you think the baby misses me too?" Matthew took the opportunity to say, "Humph, if you hadn't learned from someone and didn't let me come to the crew, how would I not have the chance to see the baby and you all day?" As he spoke, Matthew sighed a few times in grievance. "No, I have to come to the crew tomorrow. I'm worried that you and my baby will miss me. Listen, my baby is crying in the belly, saying that her Mommy is so cruel that she won't let her Daddy come to see her." Matthew even acted in front of Roseane. "Pfft!" Unable to control herself, Roseane was amused by the c

    In the next few days, nothing special happened to Eliza.  The uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated. But until that day, when she had just finished her work and was ready to go back to the dressing room to remove her makeup, she opened the drawer where she put her things. When she saw a bleeding dead mouse, she was shocked. Lyric followed behind Eliza into the room and naturally saw it too. Her entire face instantly turned pale. She scolded angrily, "Who on earth did this? How can this person be so bold? Eliza, I'm going to find the director now. I don't believe that I can't find out who did it even after checking the surveillance video on the corridor of the dressing room." "Don't go." Compared to Lyric's panic, Eliza appeared to be calm. If she was manipulated by the person hiding in the dark, it was just like falling into the trap. Eliza had never been a person who could endure being bullied. She closed the drawer again and waved at Lyric,

He could only struggle in pain. Beau's slender fingers moved down slowly until they reached Reggie's neck. He sneered. "If you don't want your neck to be broken, you can give it a try! Keep moving!" Every word was loud and powerful. No matter how arrogant Reggie was, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Beau. He could only plead, "Mr. Valentine, please let me go! I really didn't do it on purpose. I was ignorant!" Beau pushed hard in disgust, and Reggie fell to the ground. His back hit the raised part of the corner of the wall, and it suddenly hurt so much. Hiss. Reggie kept sucking in cold air. He rubbed his waist with one hand and tried to stand up with difficulty. Seeing that Eliza was still unhappy, Beau's gaze on Reggie grew a li
