Chapter 158
The next second, Eliza was pulled into a familiar embrace. Beau’s embrace was extremely warm. She lay in his arms and smiled drunkenly. “It’s better in the dream.” She must be dreaming. If it wasn’t a dream, why would Beau appear in front of her? Why would he hug her? He should be busy with his work now. He should be thinking about Chasity. How could it be possible… How could it be possible for him to come to her, an unimportant woman? Beau, who was holding her, sighed softly. He raised his head and looked at the people in the room. “Everyone, my wife is drunk.” “I’ll take her away first.” After that, he held Eliza in his arms. When he was about to stand up, he was blocked by an arm.
It was Julian. He leaned against the door with a cold smile on his lips. “Mr. Valentine, do you want to take her away just like this?” “If not?” Beau held Eliza in his arms and swept his cold gaze across Julian’s face. “It seems that I don’t need Mr. Benton’s permission to take my wife home.” “If you and Eliza didn’t quarrel, naturally you don’t need my permission.” Julian picked up the goblet and took a sip of red wine with a faint smile on his lips. “But now, your relationship is not good.” “Eliza is drunk now. If I allow you to take her away, I’m afraid she will throw a tantrum at me when she wakes up.” 2 He deliberately made the relationship between Eliza and him sound intimate. In fact, Eliza had never said anything about quarreling with Beau, nor would she be angry at him. Beau curled his lips. “Oh?” “Why do I not know that I had a fight with my wife?” In the room, the two tall men had a strong aura. Their tit-for-tat interaction made the atmosphere in the room oppressive. Gloria bit her lips and quickly walked overto be the peacemaker. “That.” “Mr. Benton, did Eliza and Mr. Valentine have a fight?” “Didn’t she just call Mr. Valentine on the balcony?” “It didn’t look like a quarrel…” Julian curled his lips. “If they didn’t quarrel, why did Eliza not eat much and start drinking straight after she returned from the balcony?” “She’s obviously not good at drinking, but after talking with Beau on the phone, she started
drinking crazily. Isn’t it obvious enough?” Gloria was stunned. It seemed… to make sense. She looked at Julian and then at Beau. For a moment, she did not know what to do. Even though Eliza was drunk, the oppressive atmosphere in the room still made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and pulled away Beau’s hand. “I want to drink,” Gloria frowned and hurried to hold her.
The surrounding actors whispered and began to talk. “Why did Mr. Benton stop her husband from taking her away? Even if they had a quarrel, Eliza and Mr. Valentine are still husband and wife. Is there anything more intimate than a married couple?”
