My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157

Although Gloria didn’t know why Eliza asked this, she still nodded and said, “I will try my best to ask.” “Okay!” Eliza took a deep breath and was about to thank Gloria when her cell phone rang. It was Beau. Gloria squinted at the notification on the phone. “Oh, honey?” “The couple in love are really annoying.” She shrugged, no longer jealous of Eliza like back then. “I won’t bother you and Mr. Valentine showing affection to each other.” After that, she waved at Eliza and turned back to the room. The balcony door was closed. Eliza looked at the phone that was still vibrating. She took a deep breath and picked it up. “Why did you take so long to pick up? Are you busy?” As soon as the phone was connected, Beau’s deep voice, like a cello, came through. Eliza held her cell phone tightly. “No.” “What about you? What are you doing?” Beau on the other end of the line chuckled. “I’m thinking about you.” Eliza’s heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath, trembled, and asked carefully, “I heard… that today is Chasity’s birthday.” “That’s right.” Beau did not deny it. “It’s today.” “You… went to pay a visit to her?” His voice was low. “Yes.” Eliza closed her eyes, and her heart felt as if it had been hollowed out. Sure enough… The news she saw on TV was real. The person who stood next to Lucija and gently patted Lucija’s shoulder was Beau. Somehow, she thought of what Joye had said on the phone in the elevator in the afternoon. “Are you going to visit her in the cemetery?” “Well, I almost forgot that it’s her birthday today. Mr. Valentine’s memory is really impressive…” “You’re going with Mr. Valentine.” Eliza’s fingers were tightly clasping her phone. It was not that she could not accept Beau’s past, nor was it that she could not accept Beau paying respects to Chasity. After all, he remembered her and her birthday, which could show that he was loyal. She should be happy.

However … Why the people who went to pay respects to Chasity with him were not Braint and Demarion, nor was it her? Why did it have to be Lucija and Joye? He should be very clear about Lucija’s intention toward him and Joye’s hostility against her. However, he still went with those two women. Was this a sign… Eliza closed her eyes. It meant that she was still an outsider in Beau’s heart. Or, Joye and Lucija were right, she was just a substitute. This conclusion made Eliza almost lose her balance. She held her phone in one hand and held the balcony railing with the other hand, forcing herself to stand still. “Why… Why didn’t you take me with you to see her?” “In fact, I also want to visit her.” Beau on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. “If you want to go, I’ll take you there next time.” Eliza bit down on her lips. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t say anything Beau on the other end of the line frowned slightly as if he had detected something wrong with her mood. “Where are you?” “I’m in the hotel.” She sniffed. “Julian invites everyone to dinner tonight. They are playing cards inside. I’m on the balcony.” “Are you unhappy?” Along with his deep voice, came the sound of clothes being zipped. Eliza could not deduce what he was doing and could only pretend that she did not hear him. “There’s nothing to be unhappy about.” She took a deep breath and looked up at the distant sky and the street lights. “I’m very happy.” “You’re so kind to me and were willing to hold a press conference to announce our relationship.” “Braint and Demarion like me very much and they’re very sensible.” “My career is also getting better. After this film, I can officially enter the entertainment circle…” “There’s really nothing to be unhappy about.”

The more she said, the sourer her nose became and the hotter her eyes became. Finally, she withdrew her gaze and let the night breeze blow her face. “If there’s nothing else, let’s hang up first.” “They’re already having dinner. I’m a little hungry.” “All right.” The sound of the door opening came from the other end of the line. Beau’s deep voice sounded reassuring, “Eat more if you’re hungry.” “Call me if you need anything.” “All right.” Eliza had just finished speaking when the phone was hung up.   Listening to the busy tone from the other end of the phone, she smiled bitterly. As expected. Everything was just her wishful thinking. Beau was not a person with a low EQ. He had already guessed that she was in a bad mood, but he did not ask anything. The reason why she wanted to hang up the phone was so farfetched, but he listened to her and asked her to eat more. In fact, he didn’t intend to think about the reason why she was unhappy, and he didn’t want to comfort her. Otherwise, why did he hang up so quickly? Thinking of this, she began to feel bitter in her heart. No wonder Lucija said that she was a substitute. No wonder Joye arrogantly mentioned Chasity in front of her. 2 In fact, they knew Beau better than her, so they had the confidence to say these words in front of her. A

The more she thought about it, the more sorrowful she became. Just then Gloria opened the balcony door. “Did the little woman in love finish her phone call already?” “The food is here. Shall we eat first or do you want to continue showing affection?” Eliza’s lips curled into a smile. “Of course we should eat first.” “Can love be food?” After that, she put the phone away and strode into the room. Various dishes were placed on the table in the room. It could be seen that Julian was a generous man. Each dish on the table was expensive. Moreover, the wines on the floor were all expensive. Eliza took the bowl that Gloria handed over. Just after a few bites, a male actor suggested that everyone should drink together. “You can’t drink, can you?” Gloria looked at Eliza and raised her hand to take away the wine in front of her. “Who said I can’t drink?” Eliza snatched the bottle of wine and directly undid its lid. Without even using a glass, she directly drank from the bottle. Everyone present was shocked. The alcohol content of the wine was high. Not even men could drink like this! Eliza could actually drink so well? Ten minutes later, the bottle of strong alcohol finished. 1 Eliza, who was confused, put down the empty bottle and raised her hand to pick up another bottle. When her hand touched the second bottle, it was held by a warm and dry big hand.

The next second, the hand skillfully took the bottle away from her. She frowned with dissatisfaction and looked up at the man. “You.”  After saying one word, she couldn’t speak anymore. Did… she have hallucinations after drinking too much? Wasn’t Beau not even willing to coax her? How did he appear in front of her?
