My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49

When Eliza woke up, the car had already arrived in Ertonphia. The car whizzed into a deceleration zone. Her head had slid down to Beau’s lap and was bobbing up and down with every hump on the road. In her sleep, she turned and adjusted herself into another position. However, she felt as though something was pressing against her nose for no apparent reason. It was making her rather uncomfortable.

Out of instinct, she raised her hand in her sleep and tried to remove the object…

“Stop the car!” Suddenly, a man’s voice sounded from the back seat of the car. The suppressed anger could be heard threatening to overflow. Startled, Noah quickly slammed the brakes. “Graciana Ryan.” Beau furrowed his brows. “Come to the back.”

Leaning against the passenger seat in a sleepy daze, Graciana yawned. “Why?”

“No reason.”

There was a slight hint of forbearance in his cold voice as he demanded, “We’re changing seats!” Graciana pursed her lips and got out of the passenger seat reluctantly. When the door opened, the man who had been incomparably gentle to Eliza the first half of the trip disappeared. He wildly tapped a knuckle on her head and rumbled, “Wake up.” Eliza opened her eyes unwillingly, awoken by the pain on her forehead. “What’s going on…” As she spoke, her voice gradually trailed off and she found herself silent. Well, because she noticed that the fabric of Beau’s sleek black suit was mere inches from her face. She was stunned. Only then did she realize that she actually… slept on Beau’s lap! “Get up.” Beau frowned slightly, his voice still frosty as ever. She paused for a bit then frantically scrambled off him. Struggling to get up, her fingers seemed to grasp something. But it was neither his thigh nor his hand… Her face promptly flushed red and she rapidly released her grip. Any sense of sleep had been wiped off her mind.
