Lucaâs words made Eliza silent for a long time. After a long while, she took a deep breath. âThen dad, why did you bring me back?â âAfter you recognized me, you didnât let me live with you. Instead, you let me return to the Lawson family to work as a servant.â âAccording to your logic, you canât give me a better life, nor did you let me leave the Lawson family.â âYou shouldnât have recognized me back then.â Her words were calm and indifferent. Luca, who was on the other end of the line, suddenly fell silent. After a while, he chuckled. âYouâve grown up.â Like that woman, she now had her own thoughts. Eliza frowned.
âFather, Iâm 23 years old.â When she was 18, she recognized Luca and thought that she could escape the misery of the ruthless Lawson family. But Luca ignored her. In order to help Jay, she had almost fallen into a desperate situation. As a father who had just recognized her, Luca got drunk every day and ignored her. He even repeatedly asked her to break up with Jay. At the end of the day, although Jay was not a good person, it did not mean that Lucaâs disregard and indifference towards her were right. Now, five years had passed. She was no longer the little girl from five years ago who was willing to believe that Luca would give her a beautiful family. âSo, donât you already have an idea?â Luca smiled bitterly and said, âEliza, you can find out the truth yourself.â âIf you want to find your child, please do your best.â âI canât help you with anything.â âGood luck.â After saying this, Luca hung up the phone coldly. Eliza frowned. When she called again, he had already turned off his phone. Eliza sighed deeply as she put away her phone and left the restaurant. In the evening, she received a call from Riley. Riley who was on the other end of the line said hysterically, âEliza, you win!â âThe private plane I booked for Esme was blocked at the airport!â Riley gnashed his teeth and said, âDonât think that we have no other way even if you donât let Esme leave Krine!â Eliza frowned. Needless to say, this was definitely Beauâs doing.
Through the glass door of the kitchen, she glanced at Beau who was gracefully looking at the document on the sofa.
His side face was handsome and tough. There was no expression on his face, as if he had not done anything This man⦠Many times, he would not mention what he did for her on his own initiative.
Just like now, if it werenât for the call from Riley, Beau would never have told her that he had secretly intercepted Esme, who wanted to go abroad. Thinking of this, Eliza felt a slight warmth in her heart. âLet me tell you, Esme now has a death-exemption plate. Weâre not afraid of you!â On the other end of the line, Riley was still making his final struggle. âA death-exemption plate?â Eliza stood in the kitchen, frowning as she turned over the fish in the pot, her lips curled into a cold smile. âIntermittent bipolar disorder?â Her voice was cold. âDonât be happy too early.â After that, Eliza directly hung up the phone and threw the phone aside, concentrating on cooking fish for Beau. He had done so much for her. She had nothing to repay him. It was within her ability to cook a fish for him.
âWow!â âWow!â
The kitchen door opened and two small heads peeped in. The larger head was Demarion whereas the smaller head was Liliana. Today, Julian had a film to shoot. It would probably take two days, so Liliana naturally came to the Valentine family for free meals. They were now family friends. Liliana had apparently taken the Lawson family house as her home. âMiss Lawson, what are you doing? It smells so good.â Liliana looked at Eliza with her big shining eyes and said, âDemarion said that your cooking is very delicious.â âHmm, are you now jealous of Braint and I because we have such a good mommy?â
Demarion put his arms around his chest proudly. âMy mommy is the best cook!â Liliana flattened her lips.
âI only envy you, not Brother Braint.â âIs that true?â Demarion was stunned. Liliana kept looking at Braint like she had seen an idol. He thought that only Braint was in Lilianaâs eyes! Unexpectedly! She was most envious of him!
Thinking of this, Demarionâs face lit up in an instant. âI know, you will gradually feel that I am better than Braint!â He patted Lilianaâs shoulder proudly. âYouâre worth teaching!â âJust tell me if thereâs anything you need help with in the future!â Liliana looked at him faintly and said, âI envy you because.â âYou have such a good brother and such a good mommyâ¦â
After saying that, Liliana turned to look at Braint who was sitting on the couch beside Beau. âAs for why I donât envy Brother Braint.â Liliana glanced at Demarion with a disgusted look. âBecause he has you as his brother.â D Demarion, ââ¦â He turned around and looked at Eliza pitifully. âMommy, Iâm hurt!â Eliza was amused by the two of them. She chuckled as she turned off the fire on the stove. âItâs alright, mommy likes Demarion best.â He blinked his eyes and looked pitifully at Eliza. âReally?â âItâs true.â She rubbed his head and handed him a box of biscuits that she had just made. âGo and eat it with your sister.â Demarion flattened his lips and carefully held the biscuits in his arms. He looked at the Liliana with disgust and said, âLetâs go.â âAlthough you hurt me, I will still treat you to biscuits to show my generosity!â Liliana smiled as she grabbed Demarionâs hand. âOkay. I know that Brother Demarion is the best!â After that, she quickly followed Demarionâs from behind, and the two of them left awkwardly. On the sofa in the living room. Beau put down the documents and saw Demarion and Liliana sitting on the carpet eating biscuits and watching cartoons. He frowned slightly and said, âThis is what a children should do.â After that, he glanced at the Braint beside him. There was a laptop on his lap. On the laptop screen, there were series of code that were hard to understand. âIs that so?â Braint looked up at him indifferently, his eyes as cold as his. âMy mommy is cooking.â Beau raised his eyebrows and remained silent. âI think that as a normal husband, even if he doesnât help, he should show his concern when his wife cooks.â âItâs still a way for a husband to show his love even if he hugged his wife from the back.â D After that, he looked at Beau with a disgusted look. âI donât behave like a child, but Mr. Beau, are you acting like how a normal husband should?â D Beau: ââ¦â His son would either keep quiet or be sarcastic to him!
