My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Eliza couldn’t think straight when Beau was around. He gave off such a domineering presence.

Right now, his face was just centimeters away from hers. Gosh, how could someone be that handsome!

Beau raised her chin and flirted, “It’s true that I always maintain a low profile, but I’ll make an exception for you.” 2

Coming from him, those words sounded magnetic and enchanting.

Eliza was intoxicated by his mere existence.

Her mind went blank. She wanted to say something, but her words were stuck at the back of her throat.

He rubbed his fingers against her soft lips and said, “Tell me if you come across people who dare to tarnish my name. I will make sure they suffer a painful death.”

Satisfied, he swept his gaze at her flushed complexion as he turned to leave.

Eliza was petrified as she remained frozen like a statue on the bed. Images of Beau’s gaze and his body pressing on her flooded her mind. After feasting on her brief memories, she came back to her senses. On her phone, the video call with Graciana was still ongoing.

Only then did she realize that Beau had put her phone on silent mode.

Blushing profusely, Eliza turned on the volume.

Graciana reacted dramatically when she saw Eliza’s face on the phone. “Damn, Eliza, was that Mr. Valentine just now?” “He’s such a handsome man! He’s nothing like the rumors at all!” “Oh my god, my heart is beating so fast right now. Eliza, I’m so envious of you! I want to have what you have right now!” Graciana squealed in delight.

“Both of you make a perfect pair! You’re so lucky! Mr. Valentine is 10 times more handsome than Jay!”

Eliza’s mood lifted after being showered in a whirlpool of compliments.

Something struck Graciana’s mind as she slapped her temples, “Eliza, I just thought about something.”

“I just realized that you didn’t resist him just now.”

Eliza paused.

What happened five years ago had scarred her from forming healthy relationships with men. For the past five years, never once did she grow intimate with Jay.

Now that she thought about it, she was never really disgusted by Beau’s touch.

“Has Mr. Valentine cured your illness?”

Graciana’s voice reflected a hint of incredulity, “Don’t tell me, you’ve fallen in love with Mr. Valentine?”

Eliza shook her head as she gave a curt reply, “Impossible.”

“How is it not possible?”

“Are you sure you’re not attracted to his looks and demeanor? I mean, he looks like a snack to me!” 3

Eliza paused and pondered,

“Is this love at first sight?”

“That’s… that’s just impossible.”

She was confused about her own emotions.

The next morning, Beau was still asleep when Eliza woke up.

She held her chin with one hand and gawked at Beau’s sleeping face.

He had the perfect looks.

Graciana’s words echoed in her mind, which left her thinking about that same question,

“Did I fall in love with him at first sight?”

“Just how long do you plan on staring at my face?”

Beau’s voice broke her reverie as Eliza came back to her senses.

He was looking straight into her eyes. Curious about what was on her mind, he asked,

“Am I really that good-looking? I can literally see you drooling while looking at me.”

A surge of red rushed up to her cheeks as she climbed down the bed and rushed downstairs.

Looking at her back, Beau smiled.

For some reason, he loved teasing her and seeing the funny reactions she made.

After breakfast, Eliza went to Parson Media.

As soon as she entered the door, a man in a suit approached her and said, “Hello, I am Roseane Comtois’s assistant. My name is Gilbert Peck.”

He extended his hand and grinned, “I heard that you are the best stuntwoman in Parson Media. Roseane asked me to invite you to be her personal stuntwoman.”

Given that she had no idea how to react, Eliza stood at the door uneasily. Clad in a Victorian-era themed dress, Roseane was currently fixing her makeup. When she noticed Eliza, she invited her over and said in a gentle tone, “Has Gilbert told you about my offer?”

The news was a huge blow to Eliza. “Ms. Comtois, why did you choose me specifically as your stuntwoman? I don’t think we know each other that well either.”

Early in the morning, Matthew went on his knees and groveled, just so Roseane would hire Eliza. She had no choice.
