Chapter 8 I am Beau Valentine

Author: Elizabeth Alcott
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 confused.

Before they got married, no one told her that Mr. Valentine had a pair of twins.

Besides...

Even though Mr. Valentine looked ugly, his sons were unbelievably good-looking and adorable!

After a while, she glanced at Demarion and asked, "Since you guys are twins, can I know why you were pretending to be Braint?"

Eliza finally understood why Braint's personality changed drastically every time he came down from upstairs.

From the start, they were two completely different individuals!

Demarion lowered his head to eat, not daring to answer her question.

He was worried that Eliza would find out about the prank he pulled on her that night.

Not long after, Braint returned from his stroll.

"I can see that you've exposed yourself."

As soon as Braint entered the house, he could already guess what had happened.

He sat on the chair and picked up his fork and spoon with grace. As he ate, he smugly looked at Demarion, "I told you your ruse wouldn't last for long."

Demarion rolled his eyes. He rushed upstairs after he finished eating.

Eliza frowned as she said, "He didn't finish his portion!"

"He has a really big appetite."

"Now that his identity is revealed, he's too shy to sit here with us."

Braint explained calmly, "After all, he's just a child. He doesn't know how to deal with this kind of situation."

Eliza narrowed her eyes at the self-righteous kid in front of her.

"You're talking as if you're not a child yourself," Eliza thought.

Braint continued his meal with a dignified air. "From tomorrow onwards, Demarion and I will do our best to address you as our mommy."

Then, he looked up at her while beaming, "Congratulations, you have two handsome sons now."

"You're a lucky woman, you know?"

Braint said seriously, "Mr. Valentine is a very handsome man too."

Eliza was speechless.

To tell the truth, Eliza married Beau on a whim.

Jay and Madeleine's betrayal and the Lawson family's threats had pushed Eliza to her limits.

That was why she chose to marry Beau.

But... she never thought that she would be a mother to a pair of twins!

After dinner, she was prepared to have a serious chat with Mr. Valentine.

She needed to tell him that she was not mature enough to be the children's stepmother.

"Mr. Valentine is a bit busy today. I'm sure you are eager to see him. You just got married after all!"

The butler smiled furtively and said, "I'll ask him to come back now!"

"I'm not..."

Eliza stared at the butler, who was as giddy as a child.

Did he misunderstand her intentions?

Sitting on the sofa, she watched some comedy films while waiting for Mr. Valentine to come back.

The movie managed to make her laugh, so Eliza's mood improved gradually.

Until—

She saw the man, whom she had an affair with, entering the house from the front door.

Suddenly, Eliza became alert as she said, "Why are you here again?"

Mr. Valentine would be back anytime soon. What was this man doing here at this time?

Besides, why did he have the key into the house?

The man was dressed in a suit. As he was unbuttoning his collar, he said with a cold tone, "Let me ask you again. Who are you and why are you in this house?"

Eliza frowned. "This is Mr. Valentine's home, and I am his newly married wife. It's only natural for me to be here."

She looked at him and said, "What about you? Who are you?"

Beau hung the suit jacket on the coat rack and glanced at her indifferently. "What a coincidence."

"I'm Beau Valentine."

......

The atmosphere in the living room turned silent instantly.

Feeling shocked, Eliza stared bewilderedly at the handsome man in front of her.

"He's Mr. Valentine? Seriously?"

"That's just impossible. I met him the other night."

"He was exactly the same as the rumors said. He had horrendous looks!"

Beau walked into the living room gracefully and said, "Demarion pulled a prank on you that night." It was as if he had seen through Eliza's thoughts.

Eliza's brain felt as if it was short-circuited.

"That person was Demarion?"

She looked up at Beau with astonishment.

This morning, she was too nervous to even look him in the eye.

Staring at Beau's defined facial features, it was given that Braint and Demarion would look as handsome as him.

They inherited their looks from their father.

"So..."

Eliza said with a trembling voice, "What happened to you five years ago? I heard that you were disfigured from the fire!"

Rumor had it that the third son of the Valentine family was caught in a fire five years ago. His face was disfigured, and the incident had changed his personality drastically.

She even heard that Beau had tortured and murdered his previous two fiancés in the past.

Now that the real person was standing in front of her, she couldn't wrap her head around the fact that Beau was as evil as the rumors described.

Beau frowned slightly when he noticed Eliza's penetrating gaze.

He glanced at her coldly. "Demarion said that you prepared dinner for me."

To tell the truth, Beau was scheduled to have a company dinner today. However, his sons kept pestering him to come back for dinner.

Braint even hacked into his computer and sent an email on his behalf to his business partner, saying that he would cancel the company dinner tonight.

On the other hand, Demarion called his grandfather and said that Beau wasn't putting in enough effort to foster a good relationship with Eliza.

As a result, both his father and the butler kept pestering him to come back home. They even told him that his wife was preparing a hearty meal while awaiting his return.

Feeling helpless, he returned home.

But as soon as Beau entered the door, Eliza, who was supposedly infatuated with him, didn't even know how he looked like.

"Dinner?"

Eliza was stunned. Then, she got up quickly and went to the kitchen. "You haven't had dinner yet?"

The children had devoured everything. Braint even took the leftovers and went upstairs to give them to Demarion.

She opened the refrigerator and stared at the dwindling ingredients inside. Then, she turned and said, "Do you like noodles?"

Beau raised his eyebrows and asked, "You didn't prepare anything for me?"

There was a hint of displeasure in his low and indifferent voice.

Eliza bit her lips as she thought, "He definitely thinks that I'm an incompetent wife now."

She paused. Then, she said sheepishly while preparing the ingredients in a swift motion, "I didn't know when you were coming back. Since I didn't want you to eat leftovers, I decided to make another portion for you."

She turned to look at him with a smile. "After all, you are special to me."

When Eliza smiled, her sparkling eyes curved into the shape of crescent moons. She looked very lovely and adorable.

Beau's heart unexpectedly skipped a beat.

Perhaps, Eliza was fated to meet his two children.

Even her dazzling smile resembled Demarion's.

With her smile as warm as sunshine, he couldn't bring himself to say anything rude to her.

Beau turned around and sat down on the sofa. He turned off the TV and scrolled through his phone.

In the kitchen, Eliza let out a sigh of relief.

She felt relieved that he didn't make things difficult for her.

From tomorrow onwards, she would remember to cook dinner for her husband. She even set a reminder on her phone.

Ten minutes later, a bowl of steaming egg noodles was served.

"Mr. Valentine, dinner is served."

After a while, Beau stood up and sat in front of the kitchen table.

He looked really elegant while enjoying his meal.

Eliza was attracted by his impeccable table manners.

She was so drawn to him she didn't even realize that she was staring straight at his face.

"Enjoying the view?"

Beau said in a deep and slow voice, "You can stare at me for the rest of your life if you want."

    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

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

    After dinner, Eliza returned to her room. She took off her clothes and began to check the bruises on her body. Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door. She quickly put on her clothes and opened the door. It was Braint. The little child came in and handed her a piece of paper. "Sign it." At the same time, Demarion went into the study and forced Beau to stop working. "A marriage agreement?" Eliza frowned. "The first condition, you must fall in love with Beau Valentine in a month. What?" "I can't fall in love with him." "I won't fall in love with her." In the study, Beau pushed the contract away and said, "The most I can do is not hating her." Demarion placed both his hands on his chin and stared at Beau with puppy eyes, "Daddy, think about it. You'll eventually fall in love with her if you don't hate her, you know?" "Daddy, you've been single for so many years. It's time for you to be in a relationship!"

    At the filming site, Eliza was acting out the scene where she was defeated by the main lead. Yesterday, she wasted the entire day acting out the scene where the actress was beaten to a pulp. It wasn't until the director reprimanded Madeleine that they stopped her from abusing Eliza. Today, the actress was supposed to die in battle, which meant that the acting would be even more tragic than yesterday. Working as Madeleine's stuntwoman, Eliza tried her best in acting out the choreography of the battle. While she was charging forward with all her strength, Madeleine was standing not far away. She was being interviewed by reporters. "Jay and I have known each other for many years. We've also been in a relationship for a while now." "Yes, we fell in love at first sight." "He said that when we first met, that he fell head over heels in love with me..." "The reason why I've never made my relationship public is that one of my friends is also very obses

    The hallway of Glacier Hotel. Esme looked at Eliza, who was unconscious now, with a cold gaze. She sneered. "I thought she'd be good at martial arts since she's been working at Parson Media as a stunt-woman for a while. I guess I've overestimated her abilities." "Ms. Lawson, what should we do now?" The burly men who had just kidnapped Eliza asked in a low voice. "Send her to room 1102, Michael Lewis will be there soon." "Roger that." They dragged Eliza to the room beside them instantly. Suddenly, a jade pendant fell out of her pocket. The jade pendant seemed really dazzling under the warm lights of the hallway. Esme frowned and went over to pick up the jade pendant. "Did that drunkard give Eliza this pendant?" She snorted and put it in her pocket. Before she turned 18, Esme had seen this jade pendant before while living with Luca. Luca had told Esme unintentionally that the pendant would lead her to her mothe

    Beau took off his coat and draped it over Eliza's body. Then, he pulled her into his embrace. "Help me..." Someone cried out with a soft and weak voice. Frowning, Beau looked in the direction of the voice. The one calling for help was Michael Lewis. Covering in blood, he was lying on the ground, with his hands and feet tied to the legs of the bed. Michael lit up with joy when he saw someone approaching. "Help me! Help me! I'm dying!" When Beau calmed down, he realized that there were two slashes of deep wounds on Michael's legs. That pool of blood was from his open wound. Michael screamed painfully, "That woman did this to me! She wanted to murder me!" "If it isn't because of the effects of the drugs, she would've killed me just now!" "Please save me!" At this time, a group of policemen rushed in. "Who called the police?" "I called the police!" Michael didn't care about his evil deeds anymore as he shou

    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,

"Why don't you go back to work?" Eliza really couldn't stand Beau wandering around in front of her all day long.

    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
