Eliza listened to Xander and his words with mixed feelings. She never thought that the relationship between Roseane and Matthew was like this. In the past, Eliza liked Roseane very much because she was beautiful, had great acting skills and a good character in the entertainment circle. But she didnât expect that Roseane had silently given herself in for a man and a friend. She and Kezia were best friends. When she was brought home by her family, her parents adopted Kezia. Later on, the letters sent to Matthew were impersonated by Kezia. When she found out that Kezia was suffering from a terminal illness, she didnât dare to get angry with her and even âs request to let her enjoy Matthewâs tenderness at the end of her life. However, she did not think that after Kezia passed away, she and Matthew would never be able to be together for the rest of their lives.
Because Kezia was dead, Roseane couldnât prove to Matthew that the girl he used to like was her.
She could not let go of Matthew, because Matthew was the elder brother she liked when she was young That was why she was so frustrated and helpless. Even the Eliza did not want to see her relationship with Matthew rupture. âI donât know what kind of ending is good for my sister.â On the other end of the line, Xander smiled helplessly and said, âIâve always tried to persuade her to forget about Matthew, but she kept saying that she couldnât do it.â âShe sent me a message the night she got into trouble. She said she would forget Matthew this time. I donât know what she meantâ¦â âI hope when sister wakes up, she wonât be angry at the decision that our family made for her to marry Matthew.â âItâs time to go. Thatâs all.â
Xander took a deep breath and said, âThank you, Eliza.â âIf it werenât for you, our family who came from the village would really have no idea how to bring Esme to justice.â Eliza held her phone and was silent for a long time before saying, âYou donât have to thank me like this.â âI believe that even without me, Matthew will not let Esme off.â Xander was silent for a long time on the other end of the line. After a awhile, he smiled bitterly. âWill he?â âHe married sister. He treats sister well because Kezia entrusted him with this task before she died.â âHe will.â Eliza took a deep breath and said, âXander, you have to believe that Matthew is not as bad as you think.â
At least Matthew was not a heartless person. âI hope so.â
Xander sighed. âIâm really going to hang up.â âWeâll meet again if fate allows.â After that, Xander hung up on the other end. Eliza was feeling helpless for Roseane and Matthew in her heart. She put away her phone and walked on the road sadly. Before she could take a taxi, a black Maserati stopped beside her.
The familiar car and familiar license plate number. Eliza didnât even have to wait for the person inside to open the car door. She knew that Beau was here to pick her up. She directly opened the door and got in the car. Beau, who was sitting in the back seat glanced at her indifferently and smiled slightly. âYou are quite conscious.â âOf course.â She silently rolled her eyes at him. âMr. Valentine was conscious enough to be a substitute for my kiss scene. Of course, I have to get on the car to live up to Mr. Valentineâs contributions to me.â
Beau put down the document in his hand and looked at her sternly. âYou donât seem too happy?â Eliza rolled her eyes at him. âOf course Iâm not happy.â There were so many actresses in the entertainment circle, but she had never heard of any actress who would be arranged to kiss a substitute because of a kissing scene. But Beau, who was jealous, misunderstood her. He frowned and pulled her into his arms.
He held her slender waist. âDo you want to kiss that Julian so much?â
???
When did she want to kiss Julian? Eliza looked up at him with great dissatisfaction. âI donât want to kiss Julian. I just refuse to kiss a substitute.â âItâs the same thing.â Beau snorted. âI took a look at the script.â
âThere are not only kissing scenes, but also sex scenes.â Eliza suddenly became alert and asked, âBeau, do you want to sleep with me as a substitute again?â âOf course not.â He curled his lips. âWhat do you take me for?â âIs my body something that others can look at casually?â Eliza let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was a turnaround. However, Beauâs next words almost made Eliza despair. Because he said, âI replaced you with a substitute.â âNo one is allowed to see my body or my wifeâs.â Eliza: ââ¦â
She knew that it was not that simple! She looked up in despair at Beau who was hugging her. âMr.
Valentine, thereâs nothing real in acting.â Thereâs no need to be so serious⦠âI donât feel well.â He answered very simply. Eliza sighed. Although she looked helpless, for some reason, she felt a little warm in her heart. He⦠actually cared so much about her.
Their marriage was not because of love. It was just a transaction. But now, she felt the happiness that she had never felt from Jay. The atmosphere in the car was silent and ambiguous. After a long time, Beau spoke and broke the silence in the car. âEliza.â âWhatâs that?â âDo you think I should learn how to act and enter the entertainment indsutry?â 2 Eliza abruptly raised her head to look at him. How could he have such an idea? âMadam, Sir doesnât want you to act with another man, so he also wants to act.â
Noah, who was sitting in the driverâs seat, chuckled. âHowever, Madam, I think you husband is much more handsome than that Mr. Benton.â âI think so, too.â For the first time, Beau, who was sitting next to Eliza felt that Noah was very good at talking. âI am much better looking than him.â After that, he looked down at Elizaâs face. âWhat do you think, Mrs. Valentine?â Eliza: ââ¦â Did she still dare to say that she felt he was not good looking? Eliza pursed her lips and laughed. âOf course, my husband is the most handsome one.â He hugged Elizaâs body contentedly with a faint smile on his lips. âSay that a few more times.â âWhatâs that?â âRepeat what you said a few more times just now.â Eliza pursed her lips and her face turned red. âMy husband is the most handsome one.â âMy husband is the most handsome one.â âMy husband is the most handsome⦠oh-!â
Before she could finish her words, her mouth was sealed by Beauâs sharp lips. While driving, Noah glanced at the backseat from the corner of his eyes. Alas, he couldnât look at them. It was simply dazzling! The car passed a crossroad, and there was a love hotel on the side of the road. Noah coughed lightly. âSir, are you and madam going home orâ¦â Beau lifted his head and looked out of the window. He then glanced at Noah, Noah nodded. âAlright!â
The tacit understanding between men were so strange. Five minutes later, the car stopped in front of the love hotel.
After getting out of the car, Eliza asked in confusion, âDonât you want to go home?â Wasnât Beau going to the set to fetch her home? âThere are too many hindrances at home.â He chuckled, picked her up, and strode in.
