Eliza didnât know how she came out from that press conference venue. It was raining cats and dogs..
She wandered aimlessly in the rain and the words that Beau said at the press conference venue echoed in her ears. âWe are meant for each other, and our engagement has been arranged since young.â âSince youâre here, Iâll inform you.â âWeâre done.â .. âTen days later, Iâll marry the real Miss Chapman and give her the worldâs most luxurious wedding.â It turned out that he lied to her. It turned out that Joye was really Miss Chapman, and she was nothing. It seemed that in a flash, she lost her identity as Miss Chapman, and she had also lost Shreya, her mother, . who was still lying on the hospital bed.
Beau.
She couldnât remember what she had done to make him sad and make him feel unrewarded for his efforts. But she remembered that after she lost her memory, she was fond of him. From the beginning, when she didnât know he was her husband, she had already fallen for him. It was probably love at first sight. Later, she heard others say that he was her husband, and he was the only one for her before she lost her memory. At that time, she was happy in her heart, but she did not show it. She was very happy.
Even if she had lost her memory, she still had her husband and three children who loved her. She almost thought that she was the happiest woman in the world. But now, the reality gave her a hard blow. She clearly saw her own world being separated little by little. Half of it was pain and despair.
The other half was sadness and gloominess. The time she spent with Beau was one of the few happy memories she had. She didnât know how long she had walked in the rain. Finally, a black umbrella appeared above her head. An elegant man stood in front of her and used the umbrella to cover the heavy rain. He looked at her with a bit of affection in his eyes. âEliza.â âEven if you are really abandoned, life still goes on. Donât embarrass yourself like this.â Eliza looked up at the man in front of her. He looked a little familiar. But she didnât remember when she met such a man. The man seemed to have seen through the confusion in her eyes. He coughed lightly and lifted his hand to pull his face. âIâm Sawyer. Do you remember me?â âWhen we were in junior high school, I sat at the same table with you. I was a little fat boy at that time.â Eliza paused and nodded, âI remember.â Her words made Sawyer ecstatic, âDo you really remember me?â âThatâs right.â Eliza nodded. âThe one who was caught cheating in exams.â
Sawyer, â.â How could she still poke his sore spot even when she was sad? Sawyer coughed softly. âIâll take you to my place, okay?â âIf you keep walking in the rain, youâll catch a cold.â Eliza frowned and subconsciously shook her head. âI donât want to go.â She didnât want to go anywhere, she only wanted to calm herself down in the heavy rain. âBut â¦â Sawyer glanced behind her. âEven if itâs not for yourself, for this little guy, you canât continue walking in the rain.â Eliza paused for a moment, and then subconsciously looked back. Behind her, the calm-looking Braint was standing at a close distance from her with his bag in his arms. His body was drenched in the rain and his shirt was tightly stuck to his body, making him look more fragile and skinny than his usual composure. The way he was drenched in the rain made Elizaâs heart ache uncontrollably. Braint should have been following her since they left the press conference, right? He was usually smart and mature. Why did he still follow her around foolishly? She was no longer the eldest daughter of the Chapman family. Furthermore, she had lost her status as Beauâs wife⦠He should stay by Beauâs side, which was the best decision for him. As a result, not only did he not stay there, but he was also soaked in the rain all the way, quietly following her⦠Eliza sighed, squatted down, and held Braint tightly in her arms. âWhy are you following me?â âYouâll catch a cold in the rain!â Braint raised his head, and his hair that had been drenched by the rain stuck to his forehead.
The usually calm and mature Braint showed a fragile expression for the first time. âBecause you are my mommy.â âNo matter what, Iâm your son.â âAs for walking in the rainâ¦â He smiled and said, âYou are not even afraid of catching a cold, why should I be?â âIâll stay with mommy even if I get sick!â Under the pouring rain, the little fellaâs words made Elizaâs heart mysteriously warm.
He⦠He was her son. No matter what happened, he would always support her. Even if it was for Braint, she should not continue treating herself like this. Taking a deep breath, she hugged Braintâs body tightly and turned to look at Sawyer. âDidnât you say you want to take us to your place?â Sawyer raised his eyebrows and then crouched down to take Braint, who was already wet, into his arms. âLetâs go.â Eliza pursed her lips and quietly followed him into the vehicle. âYou are quite capable at such a young age.â
Sawyer lowered his voice and whispered into Braintâs ear. Braint felt cold all over. He secretly put his head close to Sawyerâs ear. âIf it werenât for me, mommy wouldnât have come home with you.â
Sawyer frowned. âWas it just a trick of yours?â. âThatâs right.â He let out a bitter laugh. âYouâre really Beauâs son.â He was like Beau, who could always come up with unexpected methods. For example, this family reunion and engagement. Sawyer sighed and placed Braint on the car seat. Then, he opened the door for Eliza very gentlemanly. Finally, the car was driven away in the rain. Sawyerâs home was a large and luxurious villa. He brought Eliza and Braint, who were both drenched, into the house. The moment they entered, Lyric, who had been waiting at the door for a while, frowned and pulled Eliza over. âLook at you, do you need to do this just for a man?â âLetâs go. Iâll take you to shower!â Eliza looked at her in confusion. âYou areâ¦â âIâm Lyric.â Lyric chuckled. âIâm Sawyerâs older sister, not a biological sister though.â âHe often mentioned you to me. Although this is the first time we have met, I am already very familiar with you!â After that, she directly pulled Eliza upstairs. Eliza turned to look at Sawyer with a dazed expression. I Sawyer nodded at her and said, âGo ahead. Lyric is a nice person.â Eliza, ââ¦â She could tell that Lyric was indeed a very nice person. But⦠This was the first time she had met her. Why did this woman give her a feeling that she had known her for a long time? When the two of them went upstairs, Eliza saw the middle-aged man standing at the railing on the second floor at a glance. The manâs eyes were bright and he was good-looking. Although he was in his fifties, his arrogance and cold temperament could still catch peopleâs attention. The man glanced at Eliza and said almost the same words as Lyric, âHow can you treat yourself like this just for a man!â âGo and take a shower!â Eliza, â.â
From Lyric to this man⦠Everyoneâs face was full of pity and disappointment for her. Why did she suddenly feel as if she was at her own home when she arrived at Sawyerâs home? 2
