Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387

“Our focus right now should be on the Blake family,” Gideon reminded him pointedly. “They might retaliate against you.”

In any situation, safety should come first.

But Calvin said, “Don’t bother with the Blakes. They wouldn’t dare do much to me. And if they really did… then maybe Eliza would finally spare me a

glance.”

Gideon: “…”

No wonder people said being lovesick was a disease.

It really needed treatment.

That short message gave Calvin hope again.

He stayed up the entire night and set out to find Eliza at five in the morning.

When he arrived, it wasn’t even six yet.

Daylight came early in G City.

Eliza was already up and eating breakfast with Ophelia.

Halfway through the meal, she got a call from Romy.

Romy said she wanted to treat her to a meal to thank her for helping them back then.

Eliza had been about to refuse.

Then Romy added, “My brother is here too. He said he met you at that reception before, but never had the chance to really talk to you.”

So they had met at a reception. Eliza had no memory of it, so she asked casually, “What’s your brother’s name?”

“Milo.”

Eliza lifted a brow.

What a coincidence.

She accepted the invitation.

Just then, the Vega family’s butler came over and said there was a Mr. Young outside asking to see her.

Eliza immediately thought of Calvin.

After all, there weren’t many people in G City she knew by that surname.

“Tell him I’m not here,” Eliza declined.

The butler said, “He seems to know you’re here, which is probably why he came.”

After thinking for a moment, Eliza said, “Then tell him I won’t see him.”

At this point, she didn’t want even the slightest entanglement with Calvin.

Chapter 387

The butler went out, and Eliza went straight upstairs.

She brought her laptop back down and started working.

A little later, the butler returned again, carrying a bag. He walked up to Eliza and said, “Miss Grant, Mr. Young asked me to give this to you. He specifically said you should drink it while it’s hot.”

Without expression, Eliza opened her laptop, “Dispose of it.”

The butler hesitated. “Well…”

He had wanted to say something else.

But Eliza was already fully absorbed in her work.

In the end, the butler could only do as she instructed and deal with it.

From beginning to end, Eliza never even glanced at it.

She worked until noon. Figuring it was about time to get ready, she went upstairs to change, said goodbye to Ophelia, then headed out.

Vega had arranged a dedicated driver and bodyguards for her.

The car had only just left the gate when Eliza noticed a figure standing not far away.

It was Calvin.

He actually still hadn’t left.

Eliza was genuinely surprised.

By her count, from morning until now, more than five hours had passed.

And he had been waiting here the whole time.

The car Eliza was riding in had tinted windows, so it was impossible to see inside from the outside.

But Calvin seemed to sense something anyway and suddenly turned to look in her direction.

Eliza instinctively looked away.

When she realized what she had just done, she frowned.

What exactly was she feeling guilty about?

The car quickly drove past Calvin.

But Eliza didn’t look at him again. She naturally turned her eyes forward instead.

Like every other time they had missed each other before.

Like the thing she kept telling herself in her heart.

Keep looking ahead.

Don’t turn back.

Milo hosted the lunch with great formality.

Taal Ano Darso Queen.

Chapter 387

Eliza accepted the invitation mainly because she wanted to know whether he had any sterios mexive.

But throughout the meal, all he talked about was what had happened on the cruise ship. He never once mentioned traontrakor ASKHEART

So overall, it was a fairly pleasant meal.

After saying goodbye to the siblings, Eliza had just gotten into the car when Belle called.

On the phone, Belle asked when she would be returning to Washington

“Next week,” Eliza said.

Because this Friday, she had to attend a charity night.

It was a charity gala organized by the foundation Mrs. Vega had established while she was still alive,

This year, BroadTech was the sponsor.

Whether as someone Mrs. Vega had once trusted most, or as BroadTech’s current person in charge, Eliza had every reason to be present.

“Workaholic,” Belle teased.

“I’m the one earning money to support the family. Isn’t it nice for you to just be beautiful?”

Belle laughed. “That sounds nice.”

“And you? How are you doing?” Eliza asked her in return.

“I’m great!”

To prove it, Belle gave an excited squeal on the other end. “You have no idea how healing the island is! I even learned deep–sea fishing! It’s so much fun! A couple days ago I caught a bluefin tuna! Amazing, right?”

Even through the phone, Eliza could feel her good mood and smiled. “That’s incredible, babe. You’ll have to let me see it for myself later.”

“Absolutely!” Belle promised, patting her chest.

Then she sighed softly and said, “Eliza, having you in my life is really wonderful.”

“You saved me. The island saved me either. Now I feel like the world is a beautiful place, and anyone or anything that brings me unhappiness or sadness can just get lost!”

“It was you who let yourself go on the island.”

Just like what Eliza had once told herself.

Some things didn’t need to be won. Sometimes getting out was enough.

“Yes. Loving someone else more than you love yourself–once it goes too far, there’s always retribution.”

Belle had truly calmed down by now. She told Eliza. “I’ve already contacted Eddy and entrusted him with negotiating the divorce with Ambrose.”

A relationship was like playing cards.

Ambrose held both jokers in his hand and thought he controlled the whole game.

But he seemed to have forgotten she could always flip the table and stop playing.

To hell with love.

Chapter 387

To hell with men.

Eliza wasn’t very familiar with Eddy, but she had heard of him.

If the divorce case was in his hands, there should be a good result.

“I’m glad you’ve figured it out,” Eliza said, genuinely happy for Belle’s rebirth. “And if you get tired of the island, ask Senior Brother to recommend a few more good places. He’s got an excellent reputation when it comes to this sort of thing.”

After all, he was a big player.

Belle said, “Next time. I’m coming to G City to find you. I’ll go with you to the charity gala on Friday. I can’t just hang around like decoration and do nothing forever, can I?”

Maybe she wasn’t good at business negotiations. But social events? That, she could do.

“Alright.”

After ending the call with Belle, Eliza felt much lighter.

By now

n outside. Not heavily–just a soft, steady drizzle.
