Chapter 54
The female assassin started whining where she was on the ground. Beau put away his gun expressionlessly and turned his head to look at Eliza, who was staring blankly at the wall. “Are you alright?” “I… I’m fine.”
Eliza, who was still in shock, came to herself and shook her head with a pale face. D Although she often saw equipment like guns when she was working as a crew member on set, this was really the first time she had seen a real one. A few minutes ago, Beau had used this gun to wound the killer. The smell of blood in the air and the blood all over the ground made her go weak. “Are you really okay?” “I’m… really fine.” Beau turned around and walked toward the door. When he reached the door, he realized that Eliza had not followed him. He frowned and turned his head. “Aren’t you leaving?” Eliza bit her lower lip. “I…” Her legs were too weak to move. O Looking at her hesitant expression, Beau smiled slightly and guessed why she was not leaving He shook his head helplessly and strode forward to pick her up in a bridal carry. Eliza pursed her lips and somewhat bashfully settled into his embrace, allowing Beau to carry her outside. Leaning against his chest, she could feel the movement of his breathing and the rhythm of his heartbeat. For some reason, Eliza’s face turned red. “Eliza!” As soon as they came out of the showers, Graciana hurried over. “Eliza, are you all right?” Eliza pursed her lips and raised her head to smile at Graciana. “I’m fine.” Her legs were a little weak, that was all. “How could this happen.” Graciana bowed her head and sighed deeply. “I just called my parents to tell them that I’m safe. You just.” I bouplar
After that, she raised her head and looked into Beau’s eyes. “Mr. Valentine, have you finished dealing with that woman?” Beau made an indifferent noise of acknowledgment. He carried Eliza and turned around to leave. “She’s scared out of her wits. I’ll bring her home now.” Stunned for a second, Graciana quickly ran after him. “What about me?” Beau didn’t even turn his head. “My assistant will take you home.” As soon as he said that, Noah came to stand in front of Graciana and gestured in the direction of the car. “Miss Ryan, let’s go.” Graciana pursed her lips and looked in the direction that Beau had taken with Eliza in his arms. “If we’re driving back, then they…” Noah smiled. “It’s rare for Mr. Valentine to have the chance to take a walk with Mrs. Valentine. We shouldn’t disturb them.” Graciana had a sudden realization. It was not accurate that Beau wanted to send Eliza back to the hotel. His true purpose was to hold her longer, wasn’t it? Thinking of this, she smiled cunningly. “It seems that Mr. Valentine really likes Eliza very much!” “Of course. Mrs. Valentine is the first woman that Mr. Valentine cares so much about.” Graciana squinted at him. “Nonsense.” “If Eliza is the first, What about Braint and Demarion’s mother?” Noah froze, then ducked his head. That woman… He couldn’t figure out how Mr. Valentine felt for that woman.

The sea breeze blew on the beach that night, chilling all those on the shore. Carrying Eliza, Beau walked slowly by the seaside. “I thought you’ve experienced a lot while working for Parson Media.” Beau said blandly as he walked. “It seems that I overestimated you.” Eliza was speechless. Lying in his arms, she took in Beau’s familiar masculine scent while silently pursing her lips. “Everything we see on set is fake…” But what had happened just now was real! Eliza’s body trembled slightly. After a long while, he said softly, “Were you afraid?”
Eliza buried her head in Beau’s chest and said in a muffled voice, “A little.”
