My Three Darlings by Anonymous

Chapter 45

Eliza was taken aback. The entire way back from Parson Media, Beau’s words kept reverberating in her head. “To them, you’re merely a weakling that they can bully at will. “If you wish to avoid being bullied and framed in the future, grow stronger so that you can crush them under your feet.” Crush them under my feet…’ Eliza chewed on the thought. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists. That seemed to be the only way out now. Beau was there to help her deal with it this time. But will he be there the next time?

And after that?

As long as she carried on with this career, it was inevitable that she would meet these two people and be entangled with them again. If that was the case, then it would be better to… As Beau said, crush them under her feet! With that in mind, she arrived at the entrance of the Valentine’s villa. When she went upstairs, she found Demarion coming out of her room sneakily.

We hope that Mommy will attain greater heights in the future. Your darlings, Braint and Demarion.’ 10 Holding the card in her hands, Eliza felt warmth in her heart.

She sniffled and carefully kept the card in her purse. In the end, she sorted the books

through their open doors. “Don’t you think that Mommy really looks like you when she’s reading so attentively?” Braint, who had his head lowered because he was reading, frowned. “Does she?” “Yes, she does.” With a lollipop in his mouth, Demarion crossed his

“Really.”

he smiled and whispered in Braint’s ear, “Say, could Mommy be our biological mommy?” O  Braint looked up at him indifferently. “Dead people can’t come back to life.” “The butler told us that our mommy’s body had been so badly burnt that it was as black as coal. Though her face had been disfigured, they were sure that she was our mommy.” After that, he sighed and glanced at Eliza in the distance. “How I hope she is our biological mom too. “But we can’t have two biological mommies.” Demarion heaved another long sigh. Although Demarion had expected him to say that, he still felt a little down. “If only she were our biological mommy. “I feel sorry towards our biological mommy whenever I get all close with her.” Then, he sprawled out on the table and sighed again. “Would our biological mommy be angry if she knew that we accepted a stranger so quickly
