My Three Darlings

Chapter 26

“Do I like torturing myself?” Eliza pursed her lips. “No, I don’t.” While listening to the news, she was just trying to relax.

Jay and Madeleine were the most popular candidates nominated for the Golden Bull Award this year, so it was only normal for the radio broadcast to be flooded with news about them.

Although she didn’t really like listening to it, it didn’t affect her much because they had already severed their relationship a long time ago. Right now, she was only treating it as background noise.

Beau frowned. “You should be moving on.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Eliza paused. “Moving on from what…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Beau was already walking towards her at a quick pace. He pulled Eliza’s wrist and went downstairs.

“What are you doing?” Shocked, Eliza thrashed her am to break free from his grasp. “Where are you taking me?” She was still wearing her bunny pajamas and her mask was still plastered on her face! Without a word, Beau pushed her into the car. The car engine screeched to life. Eliza sat in the passenger seat and looked at her own reflection on the car window. How could she leave the house like this? She was very frustrated.

She removed the mask from her face. Only then did she realize that the car was not equipped with trash cans. Feeling speechless, she crumpled the dried mask in her palms. “Just what on earth are you doing?”

Beau didn’t say anything further as he stepped on the accelerator.

The car stopped at the entrance of a five-star hotel in Krine.

“Get out of the car,”

Beau said coldly while holding on to the steering wheel.

Eliza was both confused and irritated at the same time.

It was already late at night. The reason she dragged her out without any explanation… Was it because he wanted to have sex with her at a luxurious hotel?!

Out of instinct, Eliza covered her chest with both hands and said, “Mr. Valentine, you can’t treat me like this.”

Beau glanced at her in disdain, “You sleep in my bed every day. If I want to touch you inappropriately in any way. I would’ve done so ages ago.”

Eliza thought about it for a moment. That actually made sense. If it wasn’t because of sex, then why did he bring her here in the middle of the night? “Get out of the car.”

Beau gave an order.

Eliza pursed her lips and did as told. She didn’t really have a choice anyway.

As soon as she got off the car, Beau grabbed her arm and rushed upstairs.

They arrived at a suite.

After he entered the suite, Beau sat down elegantly on the sofa. He reached for the remote control and switched on the LCD screen on the walls.

The LCD screen displayed what seemed like footage from a surveillance camera.

It showed both joy and Madeleine sitting on the sofa with their heads hung low while being lectured by a

man.

Judging from the design of their room, they should also be in one of the rooms of this hotel.

Eliza stood rooted to the ground while looking at Jay and Madeleine on the screen. “What in the world…”

“They are right next door.”

Beau rubbed his temples frustratedly as he said. “Since you can’t move on from your past relationship, I’m giving you a chance to vent your anger at Jay Carr.”

“Go in there and do whatever you want to him. Beat him, shout at him, whatever that will make you feel better.”

Eliza was stunned.

Was this the reason he brought her out so late at night? Eliza pursed her lips and waved her hand. “I’m fine. In fact, I don’t really want to do that.”

“Are you sure?”

Beau narrowed his eyes slightly. “Do you want to get back together with him?”

The surrounding air was drowned in an oppressive aura.

There was menace in his eyes as he said with a cold tone, “You should give up that thought.”

Eliza was speechless.

Just what did she do that caused Beau to arrive at this conclusion?

Ever since Jay broke the news about his affair, which already happened five years back, Eliza couldn’t even stand the sight of him. Eliza grimaced and said, “Don’t worry. Even if Jay crawls to his knees and begs me to be with him again, I will just kick him in the balls.” Beau glanced at her.

Satisfied with her answer, he smiled. “That’s more like it.”

Eliza didn’t expect him to go to such lengths to help her move on from her ex.

She yawned and sat down at the edge of the sofa.

“I’m so sleepy,” Eliza thought.

“Mr. Valentine, you dragged me out this late at night just for this?”

Beau frowned, “Braint told me that there seems to be something on your mind.”

“That’s why you brought me here? To teach Jay a lesson?” Beau paused. “Braint told me to make you feel better.” Eliza didn’t know what to say.

Seriously? Did he really think that this would work?

Did he really think that violence would solve the issue? She stared at Beau in awe and incredulity.

It was just ridiculous.

Eliza sighed and said in a joking manner, “Mr. Valentine, there’s something I’m very curious about.”

“Tell me, just how did your ex-wife fall for someone like you?”

Beau’s face dropped at the mention of Demarion and Braint’s mother.

After a while, he made sure he was loud and clear, “It’s not what you think it is.”

Eliza was stunned.

Soon after, something struck her mind and she understood what he meant now.

For someone as handsome as Beau, he didn’t need to put in any effort at all. If anything. women would flock to him just to get his attention.

If it wasn’t because of the nasty rumors, Beau would definitely have a voluntary harem of his own. If that happened, Eliza wouldn’t even stand a chance..

“We were never in a healthy relationship.”

“Besides, I owe her a lot.”

It was the first time for Beau to ever mention his children’s mother.

According to the butler, they were never officially married.

Treading on thin ice, Eliza assumed cautiously, “She’s…”

“She’s dead.”

He turned his face away after that.

Eliza jolted in surprise.

“I’m sorry…” She bit her lip. Although it didn’t seem appropriate for her to pry any further, she still couldn’t suppress her curiosity. “Can I know how did she pass away?” “In a fire.”

Beau closed his eyes and heaved in a deep breath, “Ever since her passing. I’ve vowed to never marry again.”

“But…”

Beau had never thought that there would be someone in this world who was courageous enough to ignore all the scary rumors and show up at his doorstep. Not only that, the children had even given the green light for her to be a part of his family.

He wasn’t prepared for Eliza to be his wife at all.

For the sake of his two children, he would make the necessary sacrifices.

“The children like you a lot.”

If it wasn’t for Eliza, he wouldn’t have discovered his children’s budding personalities. Ever since she became their stepmother, Braint started opening up and Demarion was a lot easier to deal with. Eliza laughed. “I also think that I’m fated to meet the children.” Five years ago, she suffered from a miscarriage due to an accident. However, God had gifted her two adorable children despite the hardships she went through. Eliza swore to try her best in showering the kids with love and care. “I think so too.” Beau nodded in agreement.

Eliza didn’t know what to say all of a sudden.

Silence drowned the room.

The room was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing clearly. “Jay, be gentle with me…” “Stop acting rough…” All of a sudden, a woman’s flirtatious voice echoed from the room beside. Eliza looked up immediately. On the surveillance screen, that man, who was supposed to teach them a lesson, had disappeared out of thin air.

Now, Jay and Madeleine were having sex on the sola next door.

Eliza’s expression was flushed red the moment she heard Madeleine moaning with pleasure. Quickly. she turned to look at Beau’s face. Before she could meet his eyes. Beau had already stood up. He switched off the display and tugged at Eliza’s collar from her back as they left the room.

They entered the elevator in a strange position.

It was rather uncomfortable for her, so she struggled to break free. While she was thrashing around her limbs, she accidentally touched his body. “Don’t move.”

Beau’s low and hoarse voice echoed from beside, “If you don’t want me to make a move on you. you should

stop wriggling around.” Eliza paused, and only then did she understand what he meant. Her face turned scarlet red almost instantly. Biting down at her lips. she shouted with a flushed expression. “You...you animal!” Beau squinted, leaned down, and nibbled her earlobe. “I’ll unleash the beast inside me if you keep moving around.”
