Noah shut his mouth and sent Beau and Eliza to the hotel where the party was held. After getting out of the car, Eliza held Beauâs hand and they entered the banquet. Eliza had thought that the party would be a lively one. However, what she did not expect was⦠Almost all the people present were men, and there were not many women. And the women all looked like secretaries. She furrowed her brows and silently whispered into Beauâs ear, âWhy are there only a few women?â Beau helplessly chuckled and looked ahead. His voice was faint. âDidnât I say that?â âThis is a very boring party.â .
There were many kinds of cocktail parties. And now, the party they were in was purely to provide an opportunity for business tycoons to communicate with each other, not to socialize with each other.
Therefore, almost everyone at the scene either brought their secretaries and assistants or went alone.
This was also why Beau had not told Eliza about the party. However, since she had already known it, and she was even jealous of Edenâ¦.. He simply brought her here. Although the others did not bring their family members over, there was no rigid rule stating that they could not bring their family members along.
The way that the two entered the door hand in hand attracted countless peopleâs attention. Everyone couldnât help but lower their voices and discuss. In the corner of the crowd, a man with a cold temperament glanced at Beau and Eliza, and a cold smile appeared on his face. He turned to look at the woman sitting next to him. âWhy is she here?â
The woman paused and smiled. âMr. Lopez, are you talking about Eliza?â The man glanced at her coldly and said nothing. The woman smiled again. âHow many years has it been? You still canât forget about her?â After that, she raised her glass and took a sip. âDonât forget that youâre here in Sage City this time to deal with something important.â
The man did not speak but smiled faintly. âDo you think she still remembers me?â âI heard that she lost her memory and she canât even remember her own husband.â The woman put down the glass gracefully.
âThe one beside her is said to be the First Young Master of the Benton family who had been exiled from home many years ago. He is the son of the previous House Master, my elder cousin.â âIt is said that after Eliza lost her memory, she couldnât even recognize her husband.â âMr. Lopez⦠You are just her classmate in junior high school.â B âShe shouldnât be able to remember you even if she doesnât lose her memory, right?â The man paused, then touched his chin and laughed. âThatâs true.â When he was in junior high school, he was still a little fat boy who was despised by others, At that time, not to mention the girls in the class, even the boys were not willing to sit at the same table with him. In the end, it was Eliza who took the initiative to find the teacher and told her that she wanted to sit at the same table as him.
She made friends with him and persuaded him to study hard. âI think youâll be lonely without a friend.â
âIf I donât make friends with you, youâll be very upset!â âI donât think you are ugly.â Sawyer closed his eyes. He clearly remembered what Eliza had said to him that year. Unexpectedly, when they met again many years later, she was already married. Time passed so quickly.
After Eliza held Beau by the arm and entered the door, Beau took her everywhere in order to take care of her feelings. In the beginning, Eliza was a little moved and excited by Beauâs behavior of taking her around. But as time went by⦠It was.too boring! She took a deep breath and carefully opened her mouth after Beau bid farewell to a few business partners. âDear, when will this party end?â Beau smiled gently and rubbed her head. âSoon.â Eliza felt aggrieved. âHow soon is soon?â Beau looked down at the time.
âTwo more hours.â Elizaâs small face instantly collapsed. Two hours⦠As if he could see the helplessness in her eyes, Beau chuckled. âAre you bored?â âYes.â âThenâ¦should we get Noah to send you back first?â Eliza nodded, âYes!â She really didnât want to stay here anymore. If she had known that it was such a boring party, she would have let Eden come here! However, after she bought the evening gown and dressed up, she found that no one was competing with her at all when she arrived at the venue. There were very few women at the party, and all the men were busy talking about business.
Probably seeing through her thoughts, Beau gently pinched her nose. âIf itâs really an interesting party, how can I not tell you?â âAre you still going to be jealous for nothing in the future?â Eliza quickly shook her head like a rattle. âI wonât!â Looking at her, Beau smiled with satisfaction. Then he waved to Noah and asked him to take Eliza back to the villa. Coming out of the venue, Eliza sat in the car and breathed the fresh air. âI finally came back to life!â The atmosphere in the venue was not only boring, but also terrible! Hearing Elizaâs voice, Noah could not help but laugh. âMrs. Valentine, shall we go back to the villa now?â âYes!â Eliza responded and then took out her phone. Graciana sent her a photo of the seaside. âEliza, where are you?â âWe are at the beach, and someone is putting fireworks. Itâs very beautiful. Do you want to come over?â Eliza frowned and clicked on the photo. In the photo, there was a dark seaside and splendid fireworks in the sky.
Julian was holding Lilianaâs hand and standing by the sea, watching the fireworks. The scene was particularly harmonious and beautiful. âEliza, you used to like fireworks very much. Do you remember that?â Eliza paused and nodded. She used to like fireworks very much. But after so many things happened later, what she liked was actually not so important anymore. No one cared. She even forgot that she used to like fireworks. But Graciana still remembered it. She held her phone and silently sent her a message. âThank you for still remembering it.â Graciana quickly sent her another message. âDonât you want to come over and see it? Itâs really beautiful!â âI heard that itâs a birthday present a rich person gave the woman he likes!â âThis woman is so beautiful! The fireworks have been going off for hours!â
Elizaâs hand that was holding the phone paused slightly. In fact, she had always wanted someone to put fireworks like this on her birthday. She sighed and refused once again. She scrolled through her Instagram out of boredom. Luca, who was usually inactive on social media, unexpectedly posted something today. It was fireworks by the sea. âYou once said that you would put fireworks for her on her birthday.â âNo matter how beautiful the fireworks are, she wonât be able to see them again.â Elizaâs breathing suddenly stopped. She quickly sent a message to Luca. âWho is celebrating her birthday today?â âYour mother, Shreya.â
