Braint hesitated for a moment. He raised his head again and saw the determination in Elizaâs eyes. He lightly twisted his eyebrows. âMommy, are you sure you want to go to the press conference?â Eliza violently nodded. She must hear Beauâs explanation personally. She would not listen to anyone else!
Seeing that she was so determined, Braint sighed and silently held her hand. âWell, Iâll go with you then.â
At the railings on the second floor, Demarion looked at Braintâs back and could not help but call out to him. âBraint, youâ¦â Didnât he love mommy the most? Why did he have to accompany her even though he knew that his mother would be upset if she went to the press conference? Braint stopped faintly. After a while, he turned to smile at Demarion. âWomen should be spoiled.â âJust support her to do whatever she wants to do.â Demarion rolled his eyes. âBut you canât just do things blindly.â Graciana glared at Demarion at the side. âWhat do you mean?â âYour mommy is going to do soemthing serious!â
Why donât you let your mommy go to seek confirmation now?â Demarion was beaten to pain and subconsciously covered his head with his hand. âYou donât understand.â Although he knew that mommy would be in pain for a while. But he really didnât want to see mommy sad so soon. Anyway⦠the longer he could drag, the better. After all, she was also his favorite woman. But Braint didnât think so. He held Elizaâs hands tightly. âRest assured, Iâm always here.â Eliza took a deep breath and nodded. Holding Braintâs hand, she and her son strode out of the villa. On the balcony on the second floor, Liliana helplessly rubbed the space between her eyebrows as she watched Eliza and Braintâs car being driven off into the distance. âDaddy, do you have to do this?â âIn fact, we can think of other ways.â âArenât you afraid that mommy wonât forgive you after everything is over?â The other party did not respond. Liliana looked helplessly at the tablet computer on the desk in front of her. On the screen, Beau was standing with Joye and answering the questions from the reporters.
When Eliza and Braint arrived at the press conference venue, Beau and Joye were announcing their wedding date. Ten days later.
Very urgent. Standing at the entrance of the press conference venue, Eliza looked at the man on the stage who was held by Joye, and could not help but burst into tears. On the way, she had been telling herself that there must be some misunderstanding. It was definitely not like what Graciana said. Beau must have his reasons. âNo, it canât be⦠But now, she was standing on the spot, watching him and Joye talking with a smile. Her heart could not help but ache as if it was stirred by a knife.
She bit her lip and walked toward the stage of the venue step by step. A reporter was asking, âMr.
Valentine, why are you so anxious to announce the marriage with Miss Young? Is it related to the crisis of the Chapman family?â
âDo you think the same as the others? Do you think that the first young lady of the Chapman family marrying the young master of the Benton family is the only way out for the Chapman family?â
Beauâs lips curled up into a smile. âNo.â With this, he gave Joye a gentle look. âThe reason why I got engaged to her so soonâ¦â âFirst, it is because the engagement was arranged by the elders of the Chapman family and the Benton family. It represents the friendship between the two elders. Because of the respect for the elders, we should fulfill their wishes as soon as possible.â âThe other reason is that for some reasons that everyone knows, the engagement between me and Joye will certainly be opposed by unrelated people. So it is better to settle down as soon as possible so as to avoid unnecessary troubles.â
âAm I one of the unrelated people who will oppose your engagement?â As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and indifferent female voice came from the direction of the door of the venue. Everyone in the venue looked over in the direction of the voice. Eliza held Braintâs hands tightly, tears streaming down her face, and her body began to tremble slightly. âBeau, am I the unrelated person you mentioned?â The man on the stage twisted his eyebrows hard. He subconsciously glanced at Braint beside Eliza. The father and sonâs eyes met.. Beau frowned and his eyes seemed to ask, âWhy did you bring her here?â
Braint looked at him fearlessly and replied coldly with his eyes: Anyway, she would know sooner or later.
Seeing that his son was no longer on his side, Beau took a deep breath and calmed down. He fixed his gaze on Elizaâs face and said, âYes.â Boom-!
The venue suddenly exploded like a pot. The reporters began to frantically pick up their cameras and kept taking pictures of Eliza with all their might. Elizaâs head rumbled. She got his answer at the end of the day. Although the answer was not what she wanted. She sniffed, and her tears began to flow involuntarily. âBeau, can you give me a reason?â It was obvious⦠They were so in love, werenât they?
âNo reason.â His eyes were indifferent. âI just got fed up.â Elizaâs body swayed. âYou got fed up?â âYes.â
His eyes were cold and emotionless. âEver since weâve been together, Iâve been the one to accommodate you, protect you, and take care of all sorts of things for you.â âFrom what happened to Jay and Madeleine, to Esme from the Lawson family, then to Lucija.â âAll your problems were solved by me.â
Elizaâs body involuntarily trembled, and it was as if her heart was being fiercely pinched by an invisible hand. She bit her lip. âI donât rememberâ¦â Beauâs eyes flashed with pain. He turned his face away and didnât dare to look at her. He was afraid that he might not be able to continue his show when he saw her sad face. S âIt doesnât matter if you donât remember. I can tell you.â âEliza, from the very beginning, you were relying on me and using me.â âIâve done so much for you, but you donât remember me at all in the end.â âI am the least important one in your heart, am I right?â âNo, itâs not like that.â In tears, she looked at his cold face and tried her best to save their relationship. âI forgot you, not because you are unimportant.â â], before losing my memory, and after losing my memory, youâre always the one that I like.â
âYou should understandâ¦â
Beau closed his eyes.
Of course, he understood. If she didnât love him the deepest, how could she forget him? Just like Elizaâs father, Hamza, if he hadnât loved Shreya too deeply, how could he have forgotten her for twenty yearsâ¦
âItâs no longer important.â He took a deep breath and grabbed Joyeâs sleeve, pretending to be intimate. âI have her now.â âWe are meant for each other, and our engagement has been arranged since young.â
âSince youâre here, Iâll inform you.â âWeâre done.â âTen days later, Iâll marry the real Miss Chapman and give her the worldâs most luxurious wedding.â
