Chapter 334

David didn't want to bother Eliza.

She had been hurt by love, and such wounds take a long time to heal. There was no way she'd be ready to accept him anytime soon.

Eliza had no clue what David was thinking, but she knew her situation wasn't ideal. "David, I have a child. Mr. Carter and Amaya know, and they would never approve of us, even if it were just for show. You should find someone else." "They would only feel sorry for you and not look down on you," David sighed deeply. "I know it's a big ask, but my parents really like you. I'd be extremely grateful if you could play along with this act. It would fulfill my dad's wish." Eliza wasn't against helping out. But helping in this way could easily backfire.

"David, let's go see your dad first. I need to think about this."

"Alright."

Carter's illness was worse than David had let on. Amaya was crying every day, looking exhausted. Eliza didn't know how to comfort her but agreed to stay a few more days at Falconridge to keep her company. After visiting Carter, David offered to take Eliza home. "Why don't you stay with us?"

"No need, David, I've booked a hotel," Eliza remembered Amaya's love for matcha-flavored desserts. "Amaya seemed really down. I'll get her a little cake to cheer her up. You can take it to her later." "That's really thoughtful of you."

"Amaya has been very kind to me. It breaks my heart to see her like this."
