Chapter 247
Looking at Eliza’s bashful expression, Beau sighed lightly and turned into the bathroom. Listening to the sound of rushing water, Eliza closed her eyes. When Beau came out of the bathroom, Eliza on the bed had already fallen asleep with a pillow in her arms. He smiled helplessly and walked over to rub her head gently. “Good girl.” She seemed to have heard his voice, so she frowned slightly. “After tomorrow…” . He sighed and said, “I hope you won’t blame me.” Eliza turned her body around and continued to sleep. Beau shook his head and went to the study. Sitting on the chair in the study, he took a deep breath and dialed a strange number. The phone was quickly picked up. “Hamza is sleeping. What’s up?” Beau furrowed his brows and smiled. “Are you Sawyer?” “Yes.”
The man on the other end of the line yawned and said in a faint voice, “I thought you are going to sleep with her after kissing her for so long.” “Looks like it didn’t happen.” Beau was silent for a moment. “Has Mr. Chapman arranged everything?” “Don’t worry.” Sawyer smiled, “Everything’s ready here.” “As for you…” Sawyer paused for a moment and asked, “Do you really bear to hurt her?” “I have no choice.” Beau took a deep breath. “If possible, can you take care of her for me?” Sawyer frowned. “Why don’t you look for Julian?” Julian was Beau’s cousin. He also liked Eliza before. Most importantly, Julian was the adopted father of Eliza’s daughter. With this kind of relationship, even if Beau and Eliza broke up, she could use her daughter as a reason to get Julian’s protection. Why did Beau need his help? “Julian is too emotional. He will mess things up.” After that, he was silent for a while. “Besides, Julian has a girlfriend now.” Sawyer replied with an “oh”. “Aren’t you afraid that Eliza will be taken away by me?” “You should know that we used to be classmates when we were in junior high school.” “You can’t take her away.” Beau was full of confidence. “If you could take her away, she wouldn’t be her anymore.” In the end, Beau exchanged a few more words with Sawyer before hanging up. The night was long. The slender man stood in front of the French window of the study, staring at the scenery outside the window. After dawn, everything would be different, right?
Eliza woke up from the intense knocking on the door. Outside the door, Graciana was trying her best to knock on the door with her fist. “Eliza, wake up!” “Something big has happened!” Eliza yawned and slowly got up from the bed to open the door. “What’s wrong?” “Something big has happened!” Graciana took out her mobile phone. What was being broadcast live on the phone was the press conference of the Benton family. The press conference was about the son of the former Master of the Benton family, Beau, returning to the Benton family Eliza yawned as she watched the live broadcast. “What’s going on?” Beau was a member of the Benton family. Hadn’t Julian told her long ago? What’s there to fuss about? “It’s not like that!” Graciana frowned and pointed anxiously at the people in the live broadcast, “Look, who is sitting next to Beau?”
Eliza looked at it. In an instant, her pupils widened. It was no one else sitting beside Beau, but Joye, the daughter of the Chapman family, who replaced her identity and acted as a tyrant. Eliza felt as if her brain had gone through a momentary loss. “She’s from the Chapman family…” “What does Beau’s return to the Benton family have to do with her?” Graciana sighed. “That’s what I mean!” “I just asked Julian, and he said.” After saying that, she timidly looked at Eliza. “He said.” Looking at her hesitating manner, Eliza rolled her eyes. “What did he say? Tell me.” “He said…” Graciana helplessly rubbed the space between her eyebrows. “He said that this is the press conference for the family reunion and their engagement ceremony.” With a ‘bang’ sound, the cell phone in Eliza’s hands dropped onto the ground. She subconsciously reached out her hand to cover her head. “No… It can’t be…” There was a rumbling sound in her head. She couldn’t hear what Graciana was saying. Her mind was filled with that sentence, “Press conference for the family reunion and their engagement ceremony.” The engagement ceremony… Shouldn’t Beau’s wife be her? Why was she here, and Joye was there? At this moment, someone knocked on the door. It was Demarion’s cold voice. “Mommy, the car is ready.” Eliza and Graciana were both stunned. The car? Eliza was silent for a long time. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She opened the door and rushed out like crazy. “Demarion, you said that the car has been arranged… Are
you going to send mommy to your daddy’s press conference?” “Go, let’s go now!” She was going to ask him on the spot! What exactly did Beau want to do? He was going to be engaged to Joye!? However, Eliza did not expect Demarion to look at her in confusion. “What press conference?” “The car I mentioned is the car for you and Braint to move out.” Eliza’s body suddenly became stiff. She looked back at Demarion and asked, “What… did you say?” “Daddy has already made the arrangement this morning. Liliana and I will follow daddy, and Braint will follow you.” “Daddy also said that you should move out before he comes home.” After saying that, the little fellow even looked back at Graciana. “And Graciana, your boyfriend should be coming to pick you up soon.” “You can move out as well.” “After daddy gets engaged to Miss Chapman, it’s not good to have too many women at home!” Demarion’s words made Graciana and Eliza subconsciously look at each other. In the eyes of the two women, there was nothing but shock. How could it be… “Mommy.”
The crisp sound of Braint was heard from downstairs. Eliza subconsciously lowered her head to look in the direction of the first floor. Braint had already dressed up. Carrying his small luggage, he stood there and waited for her with a smile. “I’ll be with you forever.” The little fella’s words made Eliza’s heart fiercely stop for a moment. She bit her lip and closed her eyes, not willing to accept the fact. “What… what’s going on?” Last night, Beau brought her to a party. He even accompanied her outside her mother’s ward. He also brought her to watch the meteors shower at 1 a.m. Why did everything change as soon as she woke up? Why was she the last one to know that he was engaged to Joye? Why did he arrange everything all by himself? He also arranged which child should leave with her.
And… her friend Graciana. “I don’t accept it.”
Eliza sniffed and directly strode downstairs to grab Braint’s hand. “Let’s go to the press conference!” She had to find out what exactly Beau wanted to do!
