Chapter 217
In the dining room, a pin drop could be heard clearly. Eliza’s kiss had come too suddenly. Not only Graciana, even Beau was surprised. He paused for a moment, and then he understood what she wanted to do. So he clenched his teeth and wanted to pull her away. However, one of his hand was injured, and only the other could move. As for Eliza, both of her arms were wrapped around his neck, continuously kissing him. She tasted so sweet that he almost couldn’t resist it. In the end, Eliza tasted the taste in his mouth, a smell similar to burnt salt. It was very salty, accompanied by a burnt bitter taste. She opened her eyes wide. The moment she tasted it, her body instinct made her let go of him quickly. “Cough! Cough! Cough!”
The bitter and salty taste crept into her mouth and blew up her head instantly. She clutched her throat, feeling as if she had died once.
Too unpalatable!!! “Drink some water.” Beau, who was next to her clumsily poured her a glass of water with his left hand and handed it to her. “Here.” Eliza didn’t even think about it as she immediately picked up the cup of water and drank it in large mouthfuls.
After water diluted the taste in her mouth, she finally seemed to be alive. “Phew!” She breathed a sigh of relief as she took another big gulp of water. By right, the cooking skills should not be altered according to the memory, right? The potato pancake she made tasted terrible. Why did the three little children have to eat the one she made?
And Beau… Thinking of Beau, she raised her head immediately. He was calmly sitting at the table, looking at her with a bit of indulgence. Seeing her turn her face to look at him, he chuckled and said, “Are you still uncomfortable?” Eliza instinctively shook her head. “No… not uncomfortable anymore.” “Mr. Valentine…” Graciana silently gave Beau a thumbs up. Even Eliza herself had to drink a whole cup of water to save her life after taking a mouthful of the terrible food. Did Beau just swallow it without batting an eyelid? Did he not have a taste or was he crazy? “You really… impress me a lot.” Eliza pursed her lips and looked back at Beau who was beside her. There was a faint smile on his face. “Honey… This potato pancake tastes so bad, can’t you… taste it?” Graciana gasped at Eliza’s logic.
She rolled her eyes at Eliza helplessly. “How could he not taste anything?” “Because he likes you, so no matter how bad the food you cook is, he will endure it!” “You kissed him and had to drink so much water…” “If I remember correctly, Mr. Valentine still hasn’t drunk a single drop of water!” “If he keeps going like this, he’ll die of dehydration!” Eliza froze for a few seconds. A few seconds later, she dashed to the water dispenser in the kitchen and began to pour water for Beau. Looking at his wife’s anxious back, Beau glanced at Graciana and said, “Why did you scare her?” Graciana curled her lips. “Don’t think I didn’t notice. You’re enduring it.” “Let alone the Eliza now, even the Eliza back then who is more attentive than she is now, will not notice it.” “So as a good friend, I have to remind her.” After that, Graciana stretched herself and went upstairs. “You two stay here and enjoy yourselves. I won’t be the third wheel!” When Eliza finished fetching the water and came out of the kitchen, Beau was the only one left in the dining room. She frowned in surprise. “Where did Garciana go?” “She doesn’t want to be a third wheel. So she left.” He curled his lips and looked down at the thermos bottle in her hand. Inside the thermos bottle…
There was a total of 1L water. The veins on Beau’s forehead twitched. Was Eliza going to fetch some water, or was she bringing over the water dispenser? Why is there so much water… “Honey, I’ve done some calculations for you.” Eliza seriously took the thermos cup and poured him some water. “I just licked the food in your mouth and drank a bottle of water.” “So you ate two pieces of potato cake… At least you have to drink this much water to be all right.” After that, she put her hands on her cheeks and pushed the cup to him gracefully. “Honey, have some water to detoxify.” Beau frowned, took the cup from her hand and drank it gently. After a glass, he smiled faintly. Looking at her face full of tension, there was a faint smile between his eyebrows. “Are you afraid that I will die of dehydration, just like Graciana said?” Eliza bit her lip and was silent for a moment before sighing faintly. “I don’t know if she was telling the truth or lying to me.” “But I don’t want anything to happen to you.” Her words warmed Beau’s heart. He took a deep breath and continued to take the water she handed over. “I’ll live well for you.” After drinking a few cups of water, the taste of bitterness in the his mouth had faded that it could hardly be tasted. Beau gently held Eliza’s hand. “Thank you.” “It should be me who should thank you…” Eliza’s face was red like a resplendent sunset. At the railing on the second floor, Liliana looked at the two people in the restaurant who were looking at each other with deep feelings. “Tsk, tsk. The sour smell of love.”
Taking a deep breath, she took a photo of them eating together and sent it to Julian. “Mr. Benton, look how well-matched they are!” At this moment, Julian was sitting in a private room of a five-star hotel in Krine. He folded his legs and coldly glanced at Joye’s face in front of him. “You mean, you are the young lady of the Chapman family?” “That’s right.” Joye put the photo of the necklace in front of Julian. “Look, I have evidence of my life in Krine.” “And the birthmark on my waist…” Julian tore down both the evidence from her and the Chapman family at the same time as there is still a difference.” For example, in the photo given by the Chapman family, the birthmark was a complete heart shape. However, the birthmark on Joye’s waist was irregular. Another example was, she seemed to have expected that he would not believe her today, so she came up with a lot of explanations as soon as she arrived. What’s more… Joye’s eyes in front of him… Was different from the people from Chapman family who had a trace of cruelty and helplessness in their eyes. “I’ll ask you again. Are you really from the Chapman family?” “It’s absolutely true.” Joye chuckled. “Mr. Benton, I don’t have to lie to you.” “Moreover, a family like the Chapman family can see through me quickly even if I lie to them, right?”
