Eliza walked out of the hotel. Just as she was about to take a cab home, a black BMW stopped in front of her. The car window rolled down. The driver was Julianâs manager. Eliza had met him before. âMiss Lawson.â
The manager smiled at her and said, âSomeone is looking for you.â Eliza frowned. âJulian?â âNo.â âWho is that?â O âYouâll know if you come with me.â Eliza didnât understand why, but she still got into the car. 2 The manager drove the car to the Cloud Lake Villa after making a few turns. âLetâs go in.â He opened the door very gentlemanly. âShe is already waiting for you inside.â Eliza pursed her lips and looked up at the villa in front of her. âThis is⦠Cloud Lake Villa?â The Cloud Lake Villa was a famous star villa area in Krine. There were a variety of celebrities in the villa area. The security measures were perfect. The celebrities could do anything they wanted in the villa area without worrying about being photographed by paparazzi.
Thus⦠Eliza pursed her lips. âIs this Julianâs residence?â âThatâs right.â The manager smiled faintly. âBut Mr. Benton is not here today. Someone else is looking for you.â Other people? âIs she Julianâs girlfriend?â
Was she angry about the gossip between her and Julian, so she came to her for revenge? She knocked on the door of the villa with confusion. âIâm coming!â A crisp childâs voice came from the villa.
Elizaâs entire body paused for a moment, and the little girl who liked to wear a white tulle dress instantly appeared before her eyes. âItâs her?â âMiss Lawson!â When the door opened, Liliana, dressed in a pink nightgown, rushed out and hugged Elizaâs leg. âI miss you so much!â It really was her! Eliza squatted down in excitement and held the little girl in her arms. âYouâre looking for me?â âThatâs right!â Liliana pursed her lips and smiled as she held Elizaâs finger. âToday is my birthday!â Eliza paused and turned to look inside the villa. Sure enough, in the dining hall, there was a big cake. âHappy birthday!â Eliza quickly raised her hand and pinched her little face. âI didnât know itâs your birthday or Iâd prepare a gift for you before I came. Tell me what you want, I will satisfy you!â Liliana pursed her lips and fixed her clear eyes on Elizaâs face. After a long while, the little girl opened her mouth. âI want you to be my mother for one night, okay?â Eliza was stunned. She looked at the little girl in front of her and asked, âIs it that simple?â
âThatâs right!â Liliana smiled with some embarrassment. âIn fact, it wonât take one night. Just accompany me to eat cake, play games with me, and then tell me a story to coax me to sleep.â âI have a very disciplined life. When the time comes, I will naturally fall asleep.â With this, she looked at the time carefully. âItâs already seven oâclock. I normally go to bed at nine oâclock.â âIt wonât take too much of your time!â Elizaâs heart ached when she saw how sensible the little girl was. She pursed her lips and took her into the villa, taking her to sit at the table. When she got close, she saw that the cake was exquisitely made into a small sea of flowers. In the middle of the flowers sat a little girl in a white skirt. A line of words were written in front of the little girl: Happy 5th birthday, Lilliana. Eliza sighed faintly. Braint and Demarion were five years old.
Liliana was also five years old. If it werenât for the three of them having no contact, she would really think that they were triplets. O After all, they were of the same age and were very sensible. Their names were also similar. O She sat next to Liliana, sang a birthday song for her, blew the candle with her, and cut the cake for her. âThank you, mom!â Liliana took the cake that Eliza handed over and called her sweetly. Her voice made Eliza stunned for a moment. She had been a mother to other kids. It was just that the feeling of Braint and Demarion calling her mommy was completely different from the feeling of Liliana calling her mom. At this moment, she even felt that giving birth to a daughter for Beau⦠was actually quite a happy thing. âMom, Iâm going to eat!â Liliana smiled and began to eat cake. Eliza sat beside her, eating cake and watching anime with her. At the same time, she took out her phone and sent a message to Demarion. âSomething happened at the wrap party. Iâm not there anymore.â âIâm celebrating the birthday of a little girl I met with your daddy before. Iâll go back at 9:30 at most!â âTell your daddy that I canât find his contact information!â Demarion frowned and forwarded the text to Beau. âDaddy, why doesnât Mommy have your contact?â Beau was silent on the other end of the line. After a while, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Eliza. âWhere is it?â On this side, Elizaâs mobile phone displayed a message from âdarling! She frowned slightly. Was Graciana going to act again now? She took a deep breath and replied briskly, âIâm busy, darling. Donât worry about me. Go to bed early.â Beau, ââ¦â She clearly knew that this was him. Why did she say that she did not have his contact? âAre you in Cloud Lake Villa?â He stayed silent for a long time before he sent her a message. The little girl she met with him last time was probably Julianâs adopted daughter. Beau had sent someone to check Julianâs schedule before because he was afraid that something similar would happen at the wrap party. It turned out that he was filming a variety show all night. So now, Eliza should be staying with that little girl in Cloud Lake Villa. On the other end of the line, Eliza was stunned. How did Graciana know that she was in Cloud Lake Villa? After a while, she understood. Graciana told her brother that her boyfriend was a superstar. Shouldnât a superstar live in Cloud Lake Villa? So she took a deep breath and replied, âYes, I am in Cloud Lake Villa.â âIâll pick you up.â
Pick her up? Eliza pursed her lips. Was Graciana kidding? Not to mention that Graciana and her brother couldnât get in a place like Cloud Lake Villa, even if they came in, they could not find her! If they found her, wouldnât she be exposed? She hesitated for a long time. âItâs not a good idea⦠Is it?â âItâs a good idea.â On the other side, Beau had already gotten up and left. âIâll be right there.â Eliza, ââ¦â She looked at her phone with mixed emotions and wanted to call Graciana to ask what happened to her. But she did not dare to. Because Graciana had said that as long as she contacted her with this number, it must be because her brother was with her. âMom, concentrate.â Liliana unhappily pursed her lips and reminded her in a low voice. Eliza quickly came back to her senses and smiled sheepishly. âSorry, my friend is looking for me.â Just as she was about to put down her phone and accompany Liliana to watch cartoons, her phone rang. The caller ID on the screen showed Graciana. Why did she call her at this time? Eliza frowned. âDidnât you say that when your brother is by your side, I canât call you and have to send you a text to that number instead?â Why did she call her? Graciana paused on the other end of the phone. âMy brother has never been here.â âI did say that you should pretend to be my boyfriend to cheat my brother, but he didnât come to Krine because he had something to do later.â âWhat about the message from that number?â âI didnât use that number to text you.â Eliza, â.â âHow is this possible?!â âIâm serious, why should I lie to you?â Graciana bit her lip. âHowever, Eliza, itâs not the time to talk about that!â
âDidnât you attend the wrap party tonight? I wanted to congratulate you, but I couldnât find you. Guess what I saw?â âI saw Roseane drunkenly leaving with three men. Those three men looked very wretched!â
Eliza was instantly stunned. She had no time to think about who sent her the texts just now. âDid you say that Roseane left with the three men?â âYeah, she was carried away by them.â Graciana sighed on the other end of the phone. âYou said that Roseane was the best actress. How could she be so open? Isnât she afraid of being photographed by the paparazzi?â
