My Three Darlings

Chapter 11

The moment she left the set, Eliza walked to the nearby fresh market.

She remembered that she was going to make dinner for Braint and Demarion today.

“Sir, madam went to buy some groceries.”

The black Bentley stopped. Noah looked at Beau and asked, “Are we going to continue waiting, or...”

Beau put down his phone and rolled down the window as he stared at Eliza‘s back.

He had already figured out her relationship with those two.

Apparently, Eliza‘s boyfriend cheated on her, and that woman turned out to be her best friend as well. They even had the audacity to make fun of her.

Judging by her reaction the night she got drunk, Beau thought that Eliza would bawl her eyes out after meeting them.

However...

Beau frowned as he watched Eliza walk towards the market with a lightness in her steps, humming a cheerful tune.

After Eliza bought some ingredients, she passed by the stall selling fish.

She had asked the butler about Beau‘s preference in food beforehand.

The butler said that he liked eating fish.

To be honest, Eliza had never prepared dishes that involved fish before. That was because Jay was afraid of fish. Even the sight of it revolted him, Eliza seemed to be affected by Jay‘s eating habits, which caused her to avoid cooking fish altogether.

However, Beau liked it a lot.

She chose a fresh one and brought it home.

After buying some vegetables, Eliza walked out of the fresh market while holding on to two big bags of ingredients.

As soon as she went out, she was dragged into an alley by Jay‘s assistant.

“As expected, you are here.”

Jay leaned against the car door and looked at Eliza indifferently. “I‘ll take you home.”

Eliza glanced at the car behind him and smiled faintly. “I don‘t want to.”

“I live in the west part of the city. It is an area filled with villas where only the rich reside. I can‘t get into a shabby car like yours anymore.” “Since you know that I‘ve been married to Mr. Valentine, you should know that he is filthy rich. You won‘t be able to have a rich life like him in this life no matter how hard you try.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Jay‘s face dropped. He glared at Eliza and said scornfully, “You married him because he‘s rich?”

Eliza smiled.

“That‘s right.”

18:19 Looking at Jay straight in the eyes, Eliza realized that she wasn‘t the same woman as before. She wasn‘t infatuated with him anymore.

Right now, she felt disgusted at the presence of Jay. “Why would I involve myself with a poor man like you? I‘m way better off with Mr. Valentine.”

“You‘re lying.”

Jay stared at Eliza‘s face. After a while, he smirked and said, “I know you very well. You are not that kind of person.” Heaving in a deep breath, he said earnestly, “Eliza, are you still angry about what happened just now?”

“Everyone was in a bad mood just now. I‘m really sorry if I offended you in any way.”

“Since you don‘t want to get into the car, then I will make it short.”

Jay sighed. “Just now, Madeleine was crying miserably while complaining about what you did to her. Even though she raised the price by three times to assign you as her stuntwoman, you still made deliberate blunders to impede the crew‘s filming progress. Because of you, the director is very angry at her.” Eliza sneered.

It was normal for the director to reprimand Madeleine‘s actions.

Wasn‘t she the one who forced Eliza to repeat the scenes of getting beaten up?

Why did Jay accuse Eliza of making things difficult for Madeleine then? It was just preposterous!

“I hope you can stop taking things personally at work.”

Jay pursed his lips. “I know you‘re unhappy about my decision to be in a relationship with Madeleine.”

“But we are truly in love with each other.”

“If you want to cast the blame on someone, then that person should be me.”

“I‘m a conservative man and I can‘t accept the fact that my lover had given birth to another man‘s child. When you were about to give birth five years ago, I betrayed you and went for Madeleine instead.”

Eliza was stunned.

Her mind shut down and he couldn‘t hear what Jay was talking about anymore.

That day, she was involved in a car accident. After being in the operation room for 24 hours, the doctors managed to remove the dead fetus out of her body.

The doctor said that Eliza had a narrow escape. If she had a weaker body, she would have lost her life.

When she woke up, the first thing that came to mind was the baby‘s safety. If anything happened to it, she was worried that the baby‘s owner wouldn‘t pay her. If that happened, she wouldn‘t be able to win the lawsuit filed against Jay.

But now, Jay told Eliza that he was busy screwing Madeleine when she was fighting for her life in the operating room. She sneered and said in a depressed tone, “I see, You‘ve been in a relationship with Madeleine for almost five years.” “Don‘t make it sound like I‘m the bad person here.” Jay frowned. “You‘re the one who betrayed me first.” “I don‘t think any man can accept...”

“Smack!”

Eliza flung her palms and slapped him in the face,

She used all her strength on that slap, which caused Jay to retreat from the impact.

“When you used the money I earned to clear your name five years ago. why didn‘t you tell me that you were having an affair with Madeleine?”

She bit her lips and said, “How dare you cheat on me! You even used my money to bask in the glory | brought upon you! You scum! You don‘t have the right to manipulate me like that!” Jay covered his face and said grimly. “So what if I used your money? You were the one who kept clinging on me even after you did something so shameless!”

Almost instantly. Eliza telt hollow inside.

Throughout five years, she was invested in her relationship with Jay and she even sacrificed everything for him. Eliza couldn‘t believe that she could be that stupid and naive. All of a sudden, she remembered the fish she just bought.

Jay was terrified of fish,

Eliza gritted her teeth and flung the bloody fish at Jay!

The fish landed squarely in Jay‘s arms. This is my gift for you. You don‘t have to thank me for it.”

Jay screamed in terror, “Eliza Lawson!”

“You crazy b*tch!”

“You! Take this fish away from me!”

Carrying the ingredients, she strode out of the alley and went home by taxi.

“Eliza. I won‘t forgive you for this....

Jay‘s voice became unclear the further she walked away.

Leaning on the back seat of the taxi. Eliza covered her eyes with her hands.

Still, beads of tears rolled down from the cracks of her fingers.

A fool! That‘s what she was!

She was fooled by Jay and Madeleine for five whole years!

There was heavy traffic in the evening.

When the taxi stopped in front of the Valentine family‘s villa, Eliza had finished crying.

She composed herself and got out of the car.

Beau was making a call at the flower corridor outside the villa.

He was wearing a pair of white trousers. Leaning against the walls of the corridor, he was smoking while talking to the person on the other side of the phone.

Beau was bathing in the evening sun with smoke wafting around him, which emphasized his slender and masculine figure.

Eliza‘s heart skipped a beat at Beau‘s domineering presence.

Since Eliza knew that Beau was dealing with some important work–related matters, she avoided him by taking another lane into the house.

When Eliza walked past him. Beau hung up the phone and stopped her from leaving.

He sized her up and said, “What‘s in your hand?”

“I bought some ingredients to cook dinner for Braint and Demarion tonight.” Beau narrowed his eyes. He lowered his head and inched closer to her. “What about me?” Eliza felt flustered when she heard his magnetic voice. She lowered her head and replied, “....” “I bought fish. The butler said you like it.”

“Where is it?” Subconsciously, she raised her right hand. The bag was empty. Only then did she remember that she hurled the fish at Jay just now. Eliza smiled awkwardly. “I forgot to buy it. I‘ll make it up to you next time.”

“Alright then.” Beau lifted her chin and said with a charming smile, “Remember, you owe me one.” Taken aback, Eliza only averted her gaze and walked inside swiftly.

At a five–star hotel. Jay was sitting next to a group of producers and sponsors. Even now, he still reeked of the stench of the fish.

Soon after, the meal was served. Jay looked at the feast, which was filled with fish, with a livid expression. However, he wouldn‘t dare to burst out in anger. Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that he hated fish! The producer smiled sheepishly and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Carr. Someone informed me to serve you fish tonight.”
