Chapter 261
Seven o’clock in the evening. Eliza was supposed to have dinner with Sawyer. She changed into a beautiful long dress and sat in the living room waiting for Sawyer to pick her up. A few minutes later, Braint trotted downstairs and grabbed her wrist. “Mommy, come out with me.” “Demarion, Liliana and I would like to talk to you.” Eliza furrowed her brows. “What’s it about?” “You’ll know when you get there.” Braint looked at her with a smile. He grabbed her hand with one hand and stretched out two fingers with the other. “I swear, it will definitely make you very happy.” Eliza paused for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at the time. It was less than two minutes before Sawyer came back to pick her up. “But I have a date tonight.” “Mommy.” Braint pursed his lips and put on a pitiful look, which was unusual. “Mr. Valentine is going to marry Miss Chapman soon.” “Do you really feel at ease leaving Demarion and Liliana with them?” Eliza’s heart was struck by the little fella’s words, and it immediately became soft. She pursed her lips and squatted down. “Mommy is worried.” “But, isn’t this your choice?” “You chose to come with mommy, and they chose to stay.” “Mommy is willing to respect your choice.” Her sudden seriousness made Braint not know what to say for a moment. Just then, the sound of a door opening came from outside. Sawyer returned. Eliza took a deep breath and stood up. “Braint, Mommy is going on a date.” “Be good at home.” “If Demarion and Liliana really want to find me… let’s make it next time.” “Mommy has something important to do today.” After that, she hugged Braint to comfort him. Then, she stood up, turned around, and took Sawyer’s arm.
The two walked out of the door. Braint stood where he was, watching Eliza and Sawyer leave, his hands clenched into fists. Could it be that his mommy… really fell for someone else already? Eliza took Sawyer out of the villa and directly got into the car. “Did you get something?” “Yes.” Sawyer took a deep breath and started the car in silence. “Tonight, Beau and Joye will have a date in Bamboo Inn. Beau will also bring Demarion and Liliana with him.” “All right, let’s go now.”
Eliza took a deep breath and sat in the passenger seat. She let out a long sigh. “Did you find out the exact location?” “Yes.” Sawyer nodded. “I’ve made a reservation to sit opposite them. As long as they raise their heads, they’ll be able to see.” Eliza pursed her lips. She was very satisfied with her companion, Sawyer. “It’s all thanks to you!” Without Sawyer’s words, she would not have known that Beau would bring her two kids with him for a date with Joye! She thought of Braint, who mentioned his younger sister and brother seriously to her just now. Eliza’s heart ached slightly. She had deliberately ignored Braint’s words just now. Because she didn’t want the little fellow to feel bad. The little fellow should not have known that his biological father, Beau, was pretending to let Demarion and Liliana meet Joye while asking someone to find a foster home for them. Beau was really ruthless! Even if he didn’t want her as his wife, how could he give up his own kids? Demarion and Liliana were his own children! Moreover, Demarion had always been by his side since he was young. How could he bear to do that? Thinking so, Eliza looked ahead and said, “Sawyer.” “Yes?” Sawyer, who was driving, frowned. “What’s wrong?” “Do you think that a person… can really change so easily?” More than a month ago, he deliberately pushed his work aside and went to the mountain to find her just because she had to go there for filming. He also protected her and got hurt because of her. A month later, he chose to break up with her and get engaged to Joye for the sake of the Benton family that he had just reunited with. What… did he ttake her as? What did he take their marriage and love for? Sawyer could not answer Eliza’s question. He could only smile and speed up silently. Soon, the car arrived at Bamboo Inn. Eliza held Sawyer’s arm as they walked to the restaurant. Demarion and Liliana were already sitting across from her and Sawyer after the guidance of the waiter. The moment she sat down, Demarion caught sight of her. He secretly greeted Eliza and Sawyer, then took a picture and sent it to Braint. “Thank you, Braint. Mommy is here!” When he received her photo, Braint was gloomily drawing against the wall in his bedroom. His phone rang. He glanced at the photo and instantly widened his eyes. “But … Mommy didn’t agree!” Why did Eliza appear in the Bamboo Inn and sit opposite them? It couldn’t be just a coincidence. If that wasn’t a coincidence… The little fellow rubbed his head and soon understood what had happened. Eliza’s date with Sawyer was probably about how to disrupt Beau and Joye’s date. Although her purpose was different from theirs, the result would be the same. Thinking of this, the little fellow couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed that he was overthinking things. O Their mommy was still thinking about how to make daddy jealous and disrupt his date with Joye. How could she not like daddy? She must like him very much, didn’t she? Braint took a deep breath and said, “Then you two… perform well.” “I know!” Liliana smiled and chatted with Braint for a while before hanging up. 7:30 pm. Beau appeared in the Bamboo Inn with Joye. “Hello, Joye!” “Hello, Joye!” As soon as Joye appeared, the two little kids greeted her enthusiastically. Liliana even placed her favorite biscuits in front of Joye. “Have some biscuits!” Joye glanced at the biscuits on the table disdainfully and squeezed out a smile. “Beau said that the two of you wanted to have a good meal with me. I thought he was joking.” “I didn’t expect you two to really come.” As she spoke, she sized up Liliana in front of her. “Little princess, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
Liliana knitted her brows. In fact, she had seen Joye before. In Krine, Julian had interacted with Joye every time when they were filming. When she went to the crew to visit, she could always see Joye lingering outside Julian’s lounge. She liked Julian. But now… Liliana narrowed her eyes and took out a biscuit and passed it to Joye. “Joye, eat this biscuit.” “Their biscuits are very delicious!” Joye frowned, unable to resist the enthusiasm of the little girl. However, what she did not expect was… After she bit a mouthful of biscuits, she immediately had rashes all over her body.
