Just when the two brothers were in a dilemma, Esmeâs message came again. âWhy donât you unlock the laptop for me? Do you think I donât pay enough?â âI can give you another 20,000 dollars. Unlock my laptop immediately. I need it done urgently!â Demarion looked at the message she sent and frowned. He called Eliza. âMommy, are you off work?â âYes.â While sitting in the back seat, Eliza looked at the Lawson family manor outside the car window and released a long sigh. âHowever, I have something to do with daddy today, so I might return quite late.â âIf youâre hungry, get the servants to make you something to eat.â âYou have to be obedient at home.â Her voice was extremely gentle. In the past, when Demarion heard Elizaâs concerned tone, he would always feel warm. But today, listening to her words, he felt a little distressed. Mommy had lost her child. What kind of mood did she have in order to transfer her feelings for her child to them and treat them with all her heart and soul? (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)âMommy.â Demarion let out a deep breath and called her in a low voice. âWhatâs wrong?â Elizaâs heart was filled with the annoyance of returning to the Lawson family, so she did not notice the gloominess in Demarionâs voice. âItâs fine.â Demarion frowned and looked up at Braint.
Coincidentally, Braint was looking at him as well. The two brothers exchanged glances. Finally, Demarion squeezed out a bitter smile from the corners of his mouth. âMommy, thank you for being willing to be a mommy for both me and Braint.â âNo matter what happens in the future, Braint and I will accompany you.â âEven ifâ¦â He bit his lip and tried to say what was on his mind. âEven if daddy has a problem 16:53 D with you in the future, or if he doesnât treat you well.â âBraint and I will always stand by your side.â âWe asked you to marry daddy, so we will be responsible for you to the end.â E After that, Demarion hung up the phone directly. Eliza, ââ¦â Why did Demarion suddenly say this? She looked up at Beau blankly. Beau slightly frowned. âWhat did the little fellow say again?â Eliza pursed her lips and repeated Demarionâs words. âHe has a good imagination.â Beau raised his hand and pulled Eliza into his embrace. âWhy did he suddenly tell you this?â âItâs becauseâ¦â He stared at her face with his bottomless eyes. âIs it because you are worried that I will abandon you?â Eliza blushed and quickly shook her head.
âNo!â Why would she think about such a thing? âYouâre lying.â He believed that Demarion said those words because she was worried that he didnât want her. So he slightly hooked his lips and hugged her tightly in his arms. âDonât worry.â âThere wonât be such a day.â His unique aura made Elizaâs heart tremble for a moment. Her breathing paused for a moment, and then obediently leaned her head in his arms. Although she was not worried that he would abandon her, at this moment, her heart was filled with the annoyance of seeing the Lawson family, and she really needed his embrace. Feeling the warmth from his body, Eliza pursed her lips. With a stuffy voice, she asked, âAre you a man of your word?â
Beauâs amused voice sounded above her head. âI wonât lie about something so meaningless.â
Her lips curled up slightly and she reached out to wrap her arms around his sturdy waist.
In the Valentine family villa. The moment when Demarion hung up the phone, Braint had already unlocked Esmeâs computer. The two brothers sat in front of the computer and looked at the photos of Elizaâs pregnancy one by one. âIf only there were two of us in mommyâs belly.â Demarion held the pillow and sighed with melancholy. Braint leaned against the small chair in a comfortable position and said, âThere are not so many âifsâ in the world.â
Their mother was dead. Their father said that he had witnessed their motherâs charred body being sent out of the fire. On their motherâs death anniversary every year, they would also go pay her respect. After Eliza married in, it was also Braintâs suggestion to call her mommy, not her mom.
Because they had their own mother. âIâm just casually saying.â Demarion curled his lips. Of course, he knew it was impossible. After that, he turned his head and looked at Braintâs face seriously. âBrother, do you think daddy will dislike mommy?â Braint frowned. âI donât know.â But he knew that it was better to let daddy know now than wait until he really fell in love with mommy. Such things should be known sooner rather than later. If he didnât love her enough, he might not care that much. âI donât think daddy will mind.

Braint, â.â âThe adult world is very complicated.â âBut you are right. If daddy dislikes mommy, we will use this as a reason to deal with him!â

Lawson Manor. The black Maserati stopped at the door. âMr. Valentine!â Riley came out of the villa to welcome him with a smile. Although he was mentally prepared, when Beau got out of the car, Riley froze in shock. Beau, who was in front of him, was tall and straight. He had delicate facial features, exuding a sense of nobility and pride. He was totally different from the rumored old, bald, and disfigured Mr.
Valentine! If he had known about Mr. Valentineâs looks, he would have let Esme marry him instead of Eliza! That b*tch Eliza was simply lucky! Thinking of this, he smiled and asked, âAre you Mr. Valentine?â
Beau lightly nodded. âYes.â âIt turns out that Mr. Valentine is so young and promising.â Riley sighed. âI really regret it.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)â Beau raised his eyebrows. His tall body leaned against the car door, deliberately blocking Eliza, who was about to get off the car. âWhat do you regret?â âI regret for being ignorant to recognize you and believing in the lies of those people. I missed out on a good son-in-law like Mr. Valentine.â âMr. Lawson, youâre wrong.â
The man slightly hooked his lips and said in a low and indifferent voice, âAm I not half of your son-in-law now?â âBack then, when you told my father that Eliza was going to marry me, you swore that even though Eliza isnât your own, you were always closer to her than to your own daughter.â What he said made Riley choke back his words. Sure enough, when he had arranged for Eliza to marry him back then, he had indeed started to talk nonsense in front of the Valentine family⦠Thinking of this, he coughed softly and turned his face away. âOf course, in my heart, Eliza is almost the same as my own daughterâ¦â
âIs that so?â Just as the man finished speaking, a slim figure walked out from behind Beau. Eliza looked at his face coldly. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)âMr. Lawson, this is the first time Iâve heard that. Iâm the same as your own daughter in your heart.â âSince you treat me as your own daughter, why have I been indifferent to you for the past month?
