Eliza frowned as she read the text. She knew that Lucija said these words on purpose to stimulate her.
Holding her cellphone, she wanted to retort, but she deleted the words she typed several times. Finally, she found that she seemed to have no evidence and had no reason to refute her. Lucija was telling the truth. She was indeed a surrogate before this. Beau was indeed guilty towards Braint and Demarionâs mother and he thought of compensating her several times. So⦠was she really a substitute? 2 Eliza shook her head. She did not believe it. âMommy!â There was a knock on the door again. âCome out for your meal!â âDaddy said that if you donât go downstairs, we canât eat.â âFor the sake of your two precious sonsâ stomachs, hurry up and go downstairs to eat!â The crisp childâs voice outside the door made Elizaâs mood better. She frowned and directly deleted Lucija from her contact list. Why should she care about what Lucija said? Wasnât her goal all along just to see Beau and her bickering with each other and separate? She did not want to let her get what she wanted. 3 Eliza put the phone away and got up to open the door. Outside the door, Demarion put his hands on his belly exaggeratedly. âMommy, youâre finally out!â
âIf you donât come out, your precious son will starve to death!â Looking at the funny look of the little guy, Elizaâs unhappiness caused by Lucija disappeared instantly. She squatted down, picked up Demarion, and went downstairs. âYou usually eat so much, you wonât die of hunger so easily.â Demarion flattened his lips and looked at Eliza with a face full of bitterness. âSo mommy, you really want to starve me to death.â âAccording to the functions of the human body, it is actually difficult for you to starve to death.â At the dining table, Braint looked at the book of human anatomy in his hand and said lightly, âIf you want to starve to death, you have to get rid of the fats on your body first.â Demarion, ââ¦â âBraint, you are saying that I am fat!â âIâm just stating an objective fact.â âYes, what Braint said is true!â
Beside him, Little Liliana, whose hair was tied up in a ponytail, answered in a hurry, âDemarion, you should eat less in the future, otherwise, you will easily starve to death!â Demarion, ââ¦â He felt that he had been targeted.
The little fellow twitched his lips in frustration. âI was just joking with mommy.â Braint looked up at him indifferently. âIâm also joking with you too.â Liliana also stretched out her small hand and raised her hand.
âMe too!â
Demarion, ââ¦â Alright, he was indeed being targeted. The little fella gloomily left Elizaâs embrace, climbed onto its own dining chair, and then began to eat bitterly. âIn order not to starve to death, I want to eat more!â Looking at his sonâs childish expression, Beau sighed. After a long while, he looked up at Eliza. âDid you get enough rest?â Eliza nodded graciously. âYes.â Beau chuckled. âYou were so tired last night. I thought you would sleep longer.â âAhem, ahem!â Demarion quickly coughed and said, âDaddy, there are kids at the table.â Beau glanced at him indifferently. âNow you finally remember that youâre kids?â âWhen you embarrassed me with the video yesterday, why didnât you remember that you are kids?â Demarion coughed and raised his head to glance at Braint, not saying a word. Elizaâs mood finally turned better after hearing Beau mention the video from yesterday. She chuckled. âI think that video isâ¦
quite interesting.â âSince you think itâs interesting..â Beau looked at her with his bottomless eyes and said, âWhy donât you confess to me in that way from now on?â Eliza, ââ¦â
She chose death.
After lunch, Eliza received a phone call from Mr. Diaz, asking her to come to the crew hotel for something. âEliza!â
When Eliza just got off the car after she arrived at the hotel, Mr. Diaz greeted her enthusiastically and took her to the conference room on the second floor. Mr. Diaz first congratulated Eliza, and then began to speak sincerely, âWe are moved by the relationship between you and Mr. Valentine, so we have decided to make some adjustment on the kissing scenes of this playâ¦â Elizaâs eyes lit up.
Make some adjustment on the kissing scenes? Was it to reduce the number of the kissing scenes? After all, Beau had made it clear yesterday that he didnât want to see her kiss another man. âWeâve decidedâ¦â
Mr. Diaz cleared his throat as if he was announcing an imperial edict. âWe have decided to triple up the number of the kissing scenes!â ? Eliza, â!!!â âWhy is that?â âAfter you and Mr. Valentine announced your relationship, the netizens all over the country think youâre a good match.â Mr. Diaz was very excited.
âAdding the kissing scenes to your play at this time can help you to show off your affection to Mr.
Valentine!â âBy then, weâll take photos of you kissing from multiple positions and put them on the internet as behind-the-scenes. Itâll definitely ignite the topic. In this way, weâll save the propaganda fee!â âOn one hand, you and Mr. Valentine can show off your love. On the other hand, netizens get to see what they want, and our film can also be famous.â âWe can kill three three birds with one stone, Eliza!â He spoke enthusiastically, âThatâs a deal!â âWait a minute!â A second before Mr. Diaz got up to leave, Eliza frowned and said, âI donât agree.â âI donât agree to add kissing scenes, and I donât agree to use the relationship between me and Beau to hype.â âPurple City is a good movie. There is no need to use this way to promote and sell it.â âMy husband, Beau, is a businessman, not a star. He doesnât need to accompany me for the show, so I refused.â âNot only did I refuse to add more kissing scenes, I suggested that the scenes be reduced.â Eliza closed her eyes. âOn one hand, itâs to reduce the exposure of my husband.â
âOn the other hand, itâs to make him feel at ease.â Since Beau had already publicly expressed that he did not want her to kiss other male actors, then she would not do it. For her, he even held a press conference like that. She thought it was necessary to argue with the director and reduce kissing scenes for him. She shouldnât take advantage of him. Mr. Diazâs smile disappeared in an instant He looked at Eliza with a frown. âAre you dumb?â âWhat a great opportunity is thisâ¦â âSince she doesnât want to add kissing scenes, then remove them.â Suddenly, a low voice of a man sounded. Mr. Diaz was taken aback and he turned around hurriedly. At the door of the reception room, Julianâs arms were crossed as he leaned against the door. His eyes were indifferent. âI respect Elizaâs choice.â Mr. Diaz was stunned. He looked at Eliza and then Julian, and finally sighed helplessly. âOkay, Iâll listen to you!â If it was just Eliza who insisted, he could persuade her. But if Julian insisted⦠He had no confidence in persuading the two leading actors. He didnât want them to quit together. But even if he agreed, Mr. Diaz was full of reluctance âYou donât even want the chance that I offered for free. Eliza, Iâd like to see if you can get famous in the future!â Mr. Diaz threw these words coldly and turned to leave. *Thank you.â After Mr. Diaz left, Eliza took a deep breath and thanked Julian. âThereâs no need to thank me.â Julian walked in and sat down next to Eliza elegantly and casually. âI did this not for you, but for myself.â Eliza furrowed her brows and looked at him in confusion. Julian looked up and fixed his bottomless eyes on Elizaâs face.
âI promised Liliana that Iâll make you her mommy sooner or later.â âI donât want to see you kiss me in front of me.â D Eliza, â.
