My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52

Eliza returned to her room for a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes.

Then, she picked up her backpack and followed Graciana out. When she was about to leave, she walked over to the room next door and knocked. She wanted to notify Beau that she was leaving. She knocked for a long time, but nobody came to open the door. Feeling confused, she was about to give up and leave. But right then, the door opened. However, the person at the door was neither Beau nor Noah. Instead, it was a tall, built man. The man was donned in a set of grey pajamas, looking comfortable but impatient. “Is there anything I can help you with?” Eliza looked at the man’s face and her mind went blank for a second. Then she apologized awkwardly. “Sorry, I knocked on the wrong door.” The man looked at her coldly and the door slammed shut in her face. Eliza wasn’t sure how to react. Caught up in the urgency of the situation last night and in her hurry to return to her room this morning, she did not take note of Beau’s room number and all the doors looked the same, so… She ended up knocking on the wrong door. She sighed helplessly. “Maybe… Beau lives in the room to our right?” When she turned around, she found Graciana boring a hole into the closed door with her eyes. “Eliza, that’s… Julian Benton!” “Who?” “My idol! Julian Benton! He’s only just the best actor ever!” Graciana grabbed Eliza’s hand excitedly. “I came on this trip just to see him! “He is the brand ambassador for Sea World this holiday season! He has events going on here these few days!” She was so excited that her voice shook a little. “Never have I thought that he would be staying in the room next to ours! “As expected, he looks even hotter without makeup on! “I swear I could drown in his bleary eyes!”

Eliza rolled her eyes. “I beg to differ.” He did not hold a candle to Beau. With that, she pulled Graciana’s hand away from hers, walked to Beau’s door, and knocked on it.

The door opened after just two knocks. Noah stood smilingly at the door. “Mrs. Valentine, are you here to accompany Mr. Valentine? “I knew you would come back to take care of Mr. Valentine! You are such a kind and considerate person!” Eliza found herself grappling for words. “I actually just dropped by to inform him that I will be leaving for Sea World.” Noah had half a mind to take back what he said. “Be careful.” Beau’s deep voice came from inside the room. Eliza could see him sitting on the couch from the gap between Noah and the door. His legs were elegantly crossed. He looked regal and poised. Just his silhouette alone was enough to make her heart beat wildly. She was once again convinced that her judgment was correct. Beau was way more handsome than Julian Benton! “You should take care of yourself too. Don’t tire yourself out!” After saying that, she pulled Graciana away and left. Seeing her leave and enter the elevator, Noah sighed as he closed the door. “I thought that since you were injured, Mrs. Valentine would ditch her plans to have fun and stay here to take care of you. “But, seems like she left without hesitation.” The man leaned against the couch said nonchalantly, “I am not so badly wounded that she needs to stay and take care of me.” “Besides, I would like her to go out more often too.” Noah pressed his lips into a thin line. “But you were clearly hoping that Mrs. Valentine would stay back to accompany you too.” Beau paused for a brief moment as he held a document in his hand. He raised his head and looked at Noah with his deep eyes. “Did I?” His gaze looked so dangerous that Noah quickly lowered his head. “N- No, you did not.”

Sea World swarmed with people. Graciana ran over to Eliza with two bottles of water. She was wearing a bikini. “Didn’t you agree to put on your swimwear? Why are you wearing this?” Eliza took a look at her conservative swimsuit and took the water that Graciana handed her. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing? “There’s no hard and fast rule that everyone has to wear a bikini at the beach.” Graciana pressed her lips together. “But Eliza, it is such a waste to cover up when you have such a shapely figure!” Eliza smiled and kept quiet. She had her reasons for not wearing a bikini. The child she carried five years ago had left a few ugly stretch marks on her abdomen, and she also had a scar on her underbelly from the cesarean section. For some reason, her child had seemed exceptionally big. B The doctor who did her prenatal check-up had even said to her jokingly, “Your belly is so huge that I would not doubt if someone told me you were carrying triplets.” A Back then, Eliza replied smilingly that she was sure her child would be very clever, even smarter than three kids put together. Alas… Taking a deep breath, Eliza shook her head and pushed those unhappy memories to the back of her mind. Then, she joined Graciana on her expedition to try out all sorts of exciting rides in Sea World. Her whole day was spent screaming and hearing Graciana’s screams.
