Chapter 204
Beau turned his head and calmly looked at the forest in the distance. “I only have one requirement.” “After dealing with the Chapman family, you go back with me and continue to be my wife.” Eliza’s heart began to beat crazily after listening to what he said. He asked her to be his wife. Then he… She bit her lip and turned to look at Beau’s face, “Ethan said that you’re married.” “I’m indeed married.” Beau took out his phone and casually flipped through it. “What I said just now was to go back with me and continue to be Mrs. Valentine.” After that, Beau took out his mobile phone and showed the photo on it to her. “Look.” Eliza looked at him suspiciously and then took his phone. There were photos of two marriage certificates on the phone. Her name and Beau’s name were clearly written on the marriage certificate. Her hands trembled. “You can continue sliding.” She pursed her lips and continued sliding with her head lowered. What came after the marriage certificate were photos of her and him. Many many photos.
There were pictures of them standing by the sea, and there were pictures taken with Braint and Demarion, and there were also pictures taken at the filming site. In every photo, she smiled sweetly and happily. Beau stood next to her, looking elegant and gentlemanly. She felt familiar seeing all these pictures. But when she thought about it carefully, she couldn’t remember anything. In the end, she browsed through all the albums, but her mind seemed empty as if something was missing After a long time, Eliza raised her head and fixed her gaze on Beau’s face. “These photos… are they real?” “Of course.” Beau smiled faintly and took the phone from her hand. “I know that you have lost a lot of our memories, and only remember how I abandoned you in the fire five years ago.” With that, he turned to look at Luca and said with a polite smile, “Luca, can you excuse us for a while?” Luca, who had been standing not far away from them, suddenly regained his senses. He coughed in embarrassment and turned to walk into the room. When he reached the door, he even thoughtfully closed the door of the balcony for them. It was windy on the balcony. Beau stood where he was and curled his lips as he undid the button on his suit jacket. Eliza was stunned, suddenly realizing what he wanted to do. She grabbed his hand, which was taking off his clothes. “What are you doing!?” “We’re at the balcony!” Beau paused and instantly understood what she had misunderstood. He slightly curled his lips and deliberately teased her. “I just want to test the sincerity of your cooperation with me.” Eliza bit down on her lip hard. Although she disliked those self-righteous people from the Chapman family who wanted to take advantage of her. But after all, she had the blood of the Chapman family. Luca also said that she was of the Chapman family’s bloodline, so she should have taken on this responsibility. Moreover, she had been avoiding it for 23 years. She couldn’t always avoid responsibilities, could she? Luca and Beau were right. Beau was a man who could be the son-in-law of the Chapman family. If she were to choose between studying and marrying the man she had never met in the Benton family… She would rather cooperate with Beau. At least, her three children were still with him. Not to mention the fact that the photos and the marriage certificate he showed her were genuine. The smile in those photos was not something that could be faked. Thinking of this, Eliza took a deep breath and forced herself to take back her hand, which was holding his big hand. She turned her face away. “Then… just take it off!” Beau smiled wickedly. “If you don’t look at me, it will be meaningless for me to take it off.” Eliza, “…” Why was he so shameless? However, she still turned her head around. She would just look at him! He should be the one who should feel embarrassed! Under her fixed gaze, Beau took off his suit jacket one button at a time. Then he put the coat stained with his smell into her hand and said, “Take it.” Eliza rolled her eyes, but in the end, she still accepted it. She wanted to see how shameless Beau was! When her hands reached for the jacket, his fingers brushed past her palm. The strange and familiar touch, as if electric currents had rubbed against her, crept into her heart from her palm. The coat in her hand seemed to be stained with his warmth. When she tried to feel the warmth from her palm, her heart felt warm. She suddenly felt a lump in her throat and almost cried.
Eliza sniffed and tried her best not to look at Beau with a strange expression. She did not understand why she wanted to cry. li was obvious… She only hated the man in front of her. Maybe she loved him, but she could no longer remember him, could she? Just as she was annoved and forced herself to hold back her tears, Beau unbuttoned his white shirt, revealing his left shoulder that had a burn scar on it. Eliza’s messy thoughts instantly disappeared when she saw his scars. She looked at those injuries in shock. “Your shoulder…” “You asked me before why I had such a wound.” “At that time, I didn’t remember you were that woman. I was afraid to make you sad, so I never told you.” He took a deep breath, looked at her, and said softly, “If I had known that you were the Chasity that they were talking about, I would have held you tight when I first saw you.” The way he looked at her was too affectionate. Eliza did not dare to look at him at that moment. She turned her face away. “Then your scar…” “It was left behind from the fire five years ago.” “There were a lot of scars left at that time, smaller ones. All of them were treated by surgery.” “This scar is too deep and too long. Even the best cosmetic surgeon can’t do anything about it. I simply leave this scar behind as a memorial to you.” Eliza’s eyes sank, but she didn’t say anything. In fact, even if he did not say it, she already had an answer in her heart. She also had many burns on her body from fire five years ago. However, these were all minor injuries. They slowly healed when she was locked up in the mental hospital. But… “You clearly escaped earlier than me, why are you injured worse than me?” She was the one who stayed the longest in the fire that day. Logically speaking, she should be the one who was injured the most. But she had not been burned so badly… “What do you think?” Beau raised his hand and gently caressed her palm-sized face. “You said I’m a jerk, you said I didn’t keep my promise.” “But you’ve already been rescued. How could I find you?” Eliza was stunned. She raised her head subconsciously and looked at him with shock in her clear eyes. “So, you…” “I didn’t break my promise.” “After sending the children to a safe place, someone stopped me. He said it was too dangerous and told me not to go in.” “But I still went in.” “Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything.” Eliza’s heart felt a sharp pain. She closed her eyes and her voice trembled. “So… you didn’t leave me alone… right?”
