Chapter 27
The air in the lift was suffocating.
Finally, the door opened with a click. Eliza sprinted out frantically.
“Achoo!”
She sneezed loudly the moment she reached outside. Before she knew it, it was already late at night. Standing in the cool breeze, she was shivering from head to toe.
She looked ridiculous standing in front of the entrance while cladding in cartoon-printed rabbit pajamas, which attracted a lot of attention from the pedestrians. In hopes that she could hide her outfit from view, Eliza hugged herself and forced herself to walk towards the parking lot.
After a few steps. someone grabbed her hoodie cap from behind.
Before she could turn around, everything went black.
Beau had thrown a jacket on top of her head and said, “Wear this.”
Shoving the jacket away, she looked at his tall and wide back. “I don’t need it. I’m fine.”
Beau did not stop walking ahead. “If you got sick, the children will scold me.”
Eliza pursed her lips and put on his clothes obediently.
The moment she put on the jacket, the scent of peppermint watted into her nose, which overwhelmed her olfactory senses.
For some reason, her cheeks felt slightly hot.
Since there was no traffic, Beau sped off into the night by his car.
On the way back, she would occasionally peek at the rearview mirror from the back seat.
The way he was focusing on the road looked so sexy and alluring. She could see the defined lines of his facial feature.
Eliza’s heart skipped a beat when she realized just how attractive he looked.
One thing was for certain.
Beau was 100 times more handsome than Jay.
Soon, they arrived at the villa.
He parked the car at the door and said casually, “I’m going back to the company to have a meeting. You should head back first.”
Eliza unfastened her seatbelt and frowned. “You’re working this late at night?”
“There’s a time zone difference in other countries.”
“You’re such a hard worker…” Beau said with a magnetic tone, “Well if I don’t, I’m sure others will have to wait for me till late at night. I’m sure they are all people with families, they want to go home early too.” A surge of emotions flowed through Eliza and her heart went out to him.
She didn’t expect a person of Beau’s status to be so considerate of others.
After getting out of the car, she gave Beau a concerned look and said, “Make sure to come home early after your meeting.”
Beau paused, probably not expecting Eliza to care about him.
He took some time to digest it and shifted his gaze to Eliza, “Alright, I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
The car engine rewed to life again.
“Also…”
Before he sped off into the night, Eliza heaved in a deep breath and said, “Thank you for tonight.”
Although the way he dealt with the problem was quite weird, it was still an unforgettable experience.
Beau stepped on the accelerator and before she knew it, he was already miles away from her.
Eliza looked at his car in the distance and sighed.
She wasn’t sure if he heard what she said.
Sitting at the dining table, Demarion bit his small spoon and stared at Eliza’s face with beaming. “Mommy, when will you give me a little sister?”
“If you give birth to a brother like me, I will be annoyed to death!” Braint glanced at him. “It’s good that you know.” Eliza was amused by the two brothers’ conversation. After breakfast, the driver sent Eliza to Parson Media. As soon as she entered the set, she saw Madeleine sitting proudly in the set with her legs crossed, holding
“Looks like Jay is truly in love with her. He spent the entire night convincing the producer to promote Madeleine to the post…”
Jay was on his knees yesterday, begging the producer to hire Madeleine as the female supporting role.
When Eliza was dating Jay in the past, she was the one who tried her best to help him with everything he needed.
But now, Jay was willing to risk everything for Madeleine’s sake.
