My Three Darlings by Anonymous

Chapter 48

After breakfast, Eliza grabbed her bag and trailed after Beau into the car. Demarion and Braint stood at the door like parents who were seeing their kids off. Demarion urged earnestly. “Be careful. “Don’t be too nice to the other kids. “Come back soon and make us delicious food. “Remember to take lots of nice photos. “Remember to…” Braint shot him a chilly glance. After a long while, he raised his head and stared at Eliza with his big sparkly eyes. “Be happy.” Eliza nodded. “I will.”

She was going on this trip to unwind. When she came back, she would no longer be bothered by Jay or Madeleine anymore! “Get in the car.” Beau, who stood behind the two boys, frowned and instructed coldly. Eliza complied obediently and got in the car. The tall man turned around and looked down at the two kids. They did not even reach his thighs. “I’ve been on so many business trips, but never have you seen me off.” Demarion rolled his eyes and said, “Daddy, you are an adult now. You do not need any concern from us kids.” Beau paused. “Is Eliza not an adult too?” “That’s different!” “What’s the difference?” Before Demarion could come up with an answer to Beau’s question, Braint replied, “Women require more attention than men.” Then, without another word, he turned and entered the house. Demarion immediately nodded in agreement. “That’s right! Women require more attention than men!”

“Daddy, take good care of Mommy!” And with that, he jogged over and caught up with Braint. “Wait for me, bro!” “Keep your hands off the biscuits that Mommy prepared for me!”   Beau stood where he was and watched his sons leave. He heaved a faint sigh. Were they not even going to bid him ‘Bon Voyage ? He felt so betrayed!

He stood there and watched until the two boys disappeared into the house before he got into the car. Eliza was in the middle of a call with Graciana in the car. “Eliza, I’m waiting for you at the intersection! “I’ve already put on all my most valuable pieces. If Mr. Valentine still thinks I’m shabby, please remember that I’ve already tried my best! “I got up at 5 this morning and spent more than two hours on make-up just so that I do not embarrass you.” Graciana’s voice was loud. Though Eliza did not put her on speaker and had even covered the earpiece deliberately, Graciana’s voice could still be heard. Beau, who was in a black suit, sat elegantly beside Eliza and glanced at her. Eliza was sure that he heard everything. “Keep your voice down!” She pursed her lips and covered the earpiece up even more.

position and leaned back into the back seat lazily with his eyes closed. “She’s too nervous. “You are my wife, and she is your best friend. I will often meet her in the future.” Then, he opened his eyes and stared at her. “Or do you wish to see her this nervous every time she sees me?” Eliza had no words. She wasn’t sure if his eyes were too captivating or if his voice was too attractive. But at that moment, looking into his eyes, she
