The air in the office suddenly quieted down. Eliza stared blankly at the man in front of her, her heart tightening. He⦠What he meant was that⦠she was different from Chasity in his heart, wasnât it? âThe fish today is delicious.â Sitting on the sofa, Beau held his chopsticks and elegantly ate. âChasity and I were just an accident.â âWe had no feelings for each other. It was only because I was drunk that the incident happened.â âI didnât expect her to be pregnant with Braint and Demarion after just one attempt.â
âI havenât seen her since she walked into the wrong room.â âThe second time I saw her was also the last time.â âAt that time, Elias called me and told me that he had found her. He also said that she was waiting for me at the hospital with two children.â Hearing his low and deep voice, Elizaâs hands tightly squeezed together. Beau glanced at her with his profound eyes and said, âI was more shocked than surprised.â âAs a result, as soon as I got off the plane and arrived at the hospital, I was told that she had gone crazy due to postpartum depression and burned down the hospital.â âFortunately, she was the only patient in the hospital at that time.â âI took the two children away. When I went back to save her, the fire had turned into a sea of fire. Elias was afraid that I couldnât come back if I went in, so he held me back by force.â He said as he took a sip of soup. âEliza, I hope you can understand that Chasity has never been my lover, and she and I have never been in love.â âBut you are.â Elizaâs heart tensed up again because of his words.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she couldnât say anything. âBut for me, Chasity is indeed important. Without her, I would not have two lovely sons.â âIf she hadnât died, I would have been willing to marry her and take responsibility for her life.â After that, he put the soup bowl down. âBut there is no such if.â âYou donât have to doubt my feelings for you because of someone elseâs words, okay?â His words were both sultry and sincere. Elizaâs heart trembled slightly. After a while, she bit her lips. âThere is one more thing I want to knowâ¦â âIf it is really as you said, that I am so important to youâ¦â âYesterday, when you went to visit Chasity, why did you go alone? Why didnât you bring Braint, Demarion, or me.â This was another reason why she felt that she was not important to him besides the misleading of Joye and Lucija⦠He didnât take her with him.
Not only did he not bring her along, he also did not tell her. She always felt that if they really loved each other, he should let her be involved in his life and his past. Beau laughed bitterly. He turned around and knocked on Elizaâs head. âDid you forget something?â Elizaâs little face wrinkled, âWhat is it?â Beau coughed softly, and there was a hint of amusement in his voice. âThe night before, you were tortured by me for a long time.â âYou only fell asleep in the next morning. Did you forget that?â Eliza was stunned.
That night, the memories of her being turned around to different positions by him suddenly flooded into her mind. Her face instantly turned red! That night⦠she was indeed tortured by him. By the time he finally let go of her, it was already three or four oâclock in the morning. She fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up again, it was time for lunch. Beau shrugged his shoulders when he saw that she had recalled the past. âI saw you sleeping so soundly, so I didnât disturb you.â âI think we still have a long way to go. As for Chasity, you will know it sooner or later.â âEven if you didnât go this time, there is still plenty of chances in the future.â However, he didnât expect that his little wife would be misled by such a clumsy method. Eliza bit her lip. So that was it⦠She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and shyly raised her hand to pull his sleeve. âIâm sorry.â He was so kind and serious to her that he was even willing to take the initiative to hold a press conference to announce their relationship.
But she⦠misunderstood him and complained about him because of a few words from others. âItâs all right.â Beau smiled faintly. âActually, before what happened yesterday, they have not mentioned Chasity for many years. âI used to want to make it up to Chasity. I tried my best to find Chasityâs relatives. They always said that they had taken care of Chasityâs family, so they asked me not to intervene.â âSince Chasity died, Lucija has been avoiding talking about her.â âI even doubted whether Chasity is still alive and it was the two of them who didnât want me to find her.â âBut you could actually get them to take the initiative to mention her.â âIt means that they have already realized that they canât find any way to make you sad except for Chasity.â âOtherwise, why would they use a dead person to make a fuss?â Beauâs words made Eliza suddenly understand soemthing. âDo you think that⦠Chasity may still be alive?â âThatâs right.â After finishing the last mouthful of rice, Beau put down his chopsticks. âIf sheâs really dead, why did they have to keep it a secret?â âA dead person, even if I know more about her, is still a dead person. She will not come back to life, let alone pose a threat to anyone.â Eliza frowned. âThen what if⦠she is really alive?â âDo you want to find her?â. âI donât think so.â
His voice was cold and low. âEven if she is alive, she never comes back to visit Braint and Demarion.â
âNo matter what her difficulties are, she should not hide from me and skip visiting the children.â âWhy should I look for a woman who doesnât even want her own kids?â Elizaâs hands were tightly clenched together. For some reason, Beauâs words made her feel uncomfortable. She really wanted to defend Chasity and explain that Chasity should not be that kind of woman.
But when the words came to her lips, she felt ridiculous. She was not Chasity herself.
Moreover, if Chasity was back, she must be her rival in love. Not only would she snatch Braint and Demarionâs love from her, but she might even snatch Beau away.
Butâ¦
Somehow, she had a strong impulse. She wanted to see Chasity. She wanted to find her. She wanted to ask her why she abandoned the two children, Braint and Demarion. She even vaguely felt⦠Chasity should have some connection with her. There seemed to be a voice in her mind telling her to find that woman. She scratched her head in distress.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at him with her bright eyes. âMr. Valentine, I want to find Chasity.â Beauâs long fingers paused as he cleaned up the dishes. âWhy do you want to look for her?â âI donât know.â She hung her head in frustration. âBut⦠I just want to find her.â
