Chapter 72

The air in the room seemed to be stagnant. Eliza’s clear almond-shaped eyes were wide open. Her eyes were filled with shock, and she couldn’t even speak a single word. Beau calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip. “Are you surprised?” Eliza hurriedly nodded her head. This was not an accident. It was like a bolt from the blue! Eliza felt as if he had been struck by lightning. No, not one, but countless! She was now the girl who was burnt to a crisp by lightning and was covered in black ash! Her brain went blank.

“Have a cup of tea and calm down.” Beau thoughtfully poured her a cup of tea. “You don’t have to feel embarrassed.” He slightly curled his lips. “I have also suffered a lot of misunderstanding.” “Ugly, disfigured, and abused his wife. He’s a pervert.” Beau poured himself another cup of tea gracefully.

“Compared to this…” “I’m old.” “Old man.” “I love you so much.” “I’m crazily pursuing you.” Eliza’s face flushed with embarrassment as she listened to each of his word. When he finished, her face was already burning hot. “However, there are some things that you said which might come true.” Eliza stared blankly for a moment, and then carefully thought about it. The man that she had told him was old, and he loved her, and… She quickly picked up the teacup and took two big sips. What he said that might come true must be related to age! Yes, it must be a matter of age. Everyone would age, wouldn’t they? D It must be that… definitely not that he loved her a lot… After drinking the warm tea, Eliza calmed down a lot. She took a deep breath and looked up at Beau with an embarrassed smile, “Well, I… I thought that Mr. Valentine who was introduced by Roseane should be an old man…” “That’s why…”

Beau looked at her face with his obsidian-like eyes. “Isn’t it because I don’t understand the emoji you used and speak in a very rigid manner that you think I’m an elder?” Eliza, “…” She raised her hands in surrender and said, “I’m narrow-minded, I thought too highly of myself!” “I…” “All right, don’t be so nervous.” Beau interrupted her calmly. Eliza pursed her lips and looked at him timidly, not saying anything. It was indeed her fault. She really didn’t think of Mr. Valentine as Beau… Now that the truth was exposed, she was embarrassed. Beau was her husband after all. Even if she hid from him here, would she be able to hide forever at home?

They slept in the same room on the same bed every day. They even had to put up the schedule for their daughter… Looking at her blushing face, Beau smiled helplessly. “I’m not punishing you.” He said in a low voice, “Since I was a child, I knew what I should do and was going to do in the future.” “I don’t care about anything else except what I’m interested in.” “I even married you because Braint and Demarion like you.” Eliza’s hands were tightly twisted under the table. She knew what he said was the truth.

But…

These words came out of his mouth so easily, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. “I am 28 years old this year, 5 years older than you.” “My living environment is very different from yours.” “I never thought that 5 years gap mattered, and I didn’t think that living in a different environment would bring any impact.” With this, he looked up at her. “But now, I feel that the distance between you and me is very far.”

The light in Eliza’s eyes gradually dimmed. Very… far? In fact, it was okay… She was trying her best to shorten the distance and get used to being Mrs. Valentine… “So in the future.” Beau said seriously, “I’ll try to find time to learn about emojis and Internet slang, as well as entertainment and brokerage companies.” Eliza raised her head in shock. Beau in front of her slightly raised his thin lips. “I’m older than you, and I’m smarter than you.” “So, I’ll destroy the distance between you and me.” Eliza stared blankly at him, feeling as if every cell in her body was gently trembling She heard her trembling voice.

“I… I don’t understand what you mean.” “I want to try to understand you.” He looked at her indifferently.

“The reason why I married you is because of Braint and Demarion.” “But it’s my own idea to try to understand you and get close to you.” Eliza felt like she was drifting away. Beau’s words made her feel as if she was standing in the clouds. It was a little vague and unreal. She would never have imagined that Beau would speak to her in such a manner. He did not say an ambiguous word, but the low voice, the affectionate eyes, and every word he said… It made her feel excited. However, these were not enough! She pursed her lips and looked at him with fear. “Mr. Valentine, what you said…” “Are you confessing your love for me?” Beau slightly hooked his lips. “Aren’t you nervous now?” Eliza was stunned. It seemed that… she was really not nervous anymore. Now her mind was full of his touching words. How could she be nervous? “That’s good.”

He put down the teacup gracefully. “Let’s continue talking about you accusing me of being an elder.”

Eliza, “…” So he was just saying this to ease the awkward atmosphere? But he was too… sincere. She almost believed it. Thinking of this, she dejectedly lowered her head and said, “Well, it’s my fault.” “I shouldn’t think that Mr. Valentine, who doesn’t understand emojis and talks rigidly, is an old man.” After that, she looked up at his face. “Mr. Valentine, please calm down.” “I’m not angry.” “I’d like to hear you talk about how I chase you.” Eliza, “…” Why did he come back to the same topic again? Taking a deep breath, she pursed her lips and said, “Well, Mr. Valentine, in order to express my apology.” “I’ll fulfill a request from you, okay?” Beau raised his brows. “Really?” “Yes.” She nodded seriously. “But let me make it clear, it must be something that I can do.” “If you ask me to give you a present worth millions of dollars, I can’t afford it.” After that, she suddenly thought of something. “And I can’t promise that I’ll give birth to a daughter for you. I can’t guarantee that it will be a daughter.” Beau lightly curled his lips. “Don’t worry.” “You have already signed the agreement to give birth to a daughter. I won’t do anything unnecessary.” Eliza, “…” He looked at her red face and narrowed his dark eyes slightly. “But I do have something for you to do.” “What is it?” “In five years, be the award-winning actress.” D “Can you do it?”

“It’s a deal!”
