My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Eliza fell asleep. In her dreams, she saw Beau escaping the terrible fire with the two boys in his arms. He did not even have time to be bothered by his trousers that had caught on fire. By the time he made it out of the fire with the children, he was exhausted. He passed out on the spot after passing the children to a doctor. “Beau…

“Beau!”

She called out his name and woke up with a start. “Did you have a nightmare?” She heard the deep rumbling of Beau’s voice. Eliza opened her eyes and took a moment to take in the unfamiliar environment. It was only after a while that she remembered that she had met Beau last night and had tended to his injury together with Noah.

Then sitting on his bedside, she unknowingly fell asleep. She lifted her eyes and met Beau’s unfathomable gaze. He leaned against the headboard. His left shoulder was still bandaged, but he was already flipping through a document that rested on his lap with his right hand. Eliza frowned. ‘He is still working in such a state?’ ‘Is this man a workaholic? ‘Does he not value his health?!’ Eliza thought to herself.

Then, she stood up and snatched his documents away. “You need to rest.” The man smiled lightly. “It is just a small wound. “There are a lot of people waiting for my instructions. If I don’t work, many people will lose their jobs.” Eliza pursed her lips. “But still, you cannot be working this early in the morning!” She took a look at the time. It was past six in the morning. “I will go buy breakfast.” Then, she looked at Beau. “I’ll apply a salve to your wound after breakfast. “No working before the salve is applied. Have a proper rest!”

13 28 Beau had no choice but to shake his head. For him to be controlled like this, it was a first. “It really isn’t that big of a deal.” As the future heir of the Valentine’s Group, he had to bear both the hostility of his competitors and the internal pressure coming from the competition going on within the family. Attacks and attempts of assassination were common occurrences over the years. He had long since been accustomed to it. “You still need rest.” Eliza pursed her lips, took the document with her, and turned to leave, saying, “I’ll be bringing this with me.” The door shut with a bang! Eliza had not been joking when she said that she would bring Beau’s document along with her to buy breakfast. Noah stared blankly at the closed door. “Sir, should I go catch up with Mrs. Valentine to get the documents back?” Beau closed his eyes. “There’s no need for that. “If she wants to hold on to it, let her.” Noah was flabbergasted. He gave Beau a faint reminder. “Sir, that is a confidential document. It is the financial report for Sea World for the past year…” And she just took it along with her on a trip to get breakfast as though it was just another piece of paper. Wasn’t that considered a flout of the confidentiality of the document? “Think about it.” Beau sounded indifferent. “For such a clumsy lady who brought a document along with her to get breakfast… “Would anyone really think that it’s a highly-confidential document?” Noah once again found himself at a loss for words.
