My Three Darlings

Chapter 27

The air in the lift was suffocating. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Finally, the door opened with a click. Eliza sprinted out frantically.

“Achoo!”

She sneezed loudly the moment she reached outside. Before she knew it, it was already late at night. Standing in the cool breeze, she was shivering from head to toe.

She looked ridiculous standing in front of the entrance while cladding in cartoon-printed rabbit pajamas, which attracted a lot of attention from the pedestrians. In hopes that she could hide her outfit from view, Eliza hugged herself and forced herself to walk towards the parking lot.

After a few steps. someone grabbed her hoodie cap from behind.

Before she could turn around, everything went black.

Beau had thrown a jacket on top of her head and said, “Wear this.”

Shoving the jacket away, she looked at his tall and wide back. “I don’t need it. I’m fine.”

Beau did not stop walking ahead. “If you got sick, the children will scold me.”

Eliza pursed her lips and put on his clothes obediently.

The moment she put on the jacket, the scent of peppermint watted into her nose, which overwhelmed her olfactory senses.

For some reason, her cheeks felt slightly hot.

Since there was no traffic, Beau sped off into the night by his car.

On the way back, she would occasionally peek at the rearview mirror from the back seat.

The way he was focusing on the road looked so sexy and alluring. She could see the defined lines of his facial feature.

Eliza’s heart skipped a beat when she realized just how attractive he looked.

One thing was for certain.

Beau was 100 times more handsome than Jay.

Soon, they arrived at the villa.

He parked the car at the door and said casually, “I’m going back to the company to have a meeting. You should head back first.”

Eliza unfastened her seatbelt and frowned. “You’re working this late at night?”

“There’s a time zone difference in other countries.”

“You’re such a hard worker…” Beau said with a magnetic tone, “Well if I don’t, I’m sure others will have to wait for me till late at night. I’m sure they are all people with families, they want to go home early too.” A surge of emotions flowed through Eliza and her heart went out to him.

She didn’t expect a person of Beau’s status to be so considerate of others.

After getting out of the car, she gave Beau a concerned look and said, “Make sure to come home early after your meeting.”

Beau paused, probably not expecting Eliza to care about him.

He took some time to digest it and shifted his gaze to Eliza, “Alright, I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

The car engine rewed to life again.

“Also…”

Before he sped off into the night, Eliza heaved in a deep breath and said, “Thank you for tonight.”

Although the way he dealt with the problem was quite weird, it was still an unforgettable experience.

Beau stepped on the accelerator and before she knew it, he was already miles away from her.

Eliza looked at his car in the distance and sighed.

She wasn’t sure if he heard what she said.

A cold breeze blew at her and she crumpled up into a little ball again. The corners of her lips turned up when she touched his jacket draped around her shoulders.

“He’s such a gentleman,” she thought.

The next morning, Beau was sleeping next to her the moment she opened her eyes.

The morning sunlight filtered through the windows and illustrated his lined face. When he was asleep, he didn’t seem that intimidating. If anything, he looked gentle.

Judging from his deep eyebags, he had probably just fallen asleep. Eliza got out of bed carefully and tucked him in. Then, she went to the house maid’s room to wash up. During breakfast, Eliza prepared a portion for Beau and instructed the housemaids to serve him when he woke up.

“It seems like mommy cares for daddy after all!”

Sitting at the dining table, Demarion bit his small spoon and stared at Eliza’s face with beaming. “Mommy, when will you give me a little sister?”

Upon hearing that question, Eliza’s face turned red. She didn’t know how to answer that question. She didn’t have the heart to reject him flat-out either. So, she changed the topic and said, “Why do you want a little sister? Why not another brother?”

Demarion rolled his eyes. “I pray to the gods that I will not get another brother.” D

“If you give birth to a brother like me, I will be annoyed to death!” Braint glanced at him. “It’s good that you know.” Eliza was amused by the two brothers’ conversation. After breakfast, the driver sent Eliza to Parson Media. As soon as she entered the set, she saw Madeleine sitting proudly in the set with her legs crossed, holding

a script in her hand.

An actor standing from beside had a resentful look on his face as he complained, “How can anyone be that shameless? It only took her a day to snatch away the female supporting role from the previous actress. And that’s after we bashed her about being unprofessional yesterday!”

“Looks like Jay is truly in love with her. He spent the entire night convincing the producer to promote Madeleine to the post…”

While flipping through today’s schedule, Eliza listened to the talk of the day, which was stories about Madeleine’s promotion. Listening to the gossips, something struck her mind.

She realized that the man, who was with Madeleine and Jay yesterday, was the producer of the drama series named “Snowy Night”.

Jay was on his knees yesterday, begging the producer to hire Madeleine as the female supporting role.

When Eliza was dating Jay in the past, she was the one who tried her best to help him with everything he needed.

To the public, Eliza was Jay’s ex-girlfriend and also an insignificant stuntwoman in Parson Media. Truth be told, she was actually both his manager and assistant, who had done everything to help him advance his career.

But now, Jay was willing to risk everything for Madeleine’s sake.

When she broke free from her thoughts, she had also finished reading the schedule.

Most of the scenes today involved only Jay and Madeleine. Since Roseane wasn’t scheduled to be on set today, she had no use here.

After greeting the deputy director, she left the set.

She greeted another actor along the way and asked, “Do you know where is Roseane right now?”

“I’m currently searching for the set that she’s scheduled in at the moment.”

Eliza smiled. “I think I’ll head over there to have a look. Maybe there’ll be something I can help them with.”

“How hardworking.”

Just when she finished speaking, a voice echoed from behind. It was Madeleine. Eliza couldn’t be bothered with her. She was prepared to leave the moment she saw her smug expression.

“Don’t ever think that you’ll have it easy just because Roseane has your back”

Madeleine crossed her arms around her chest and looked at Eliza’s back arrogantly. “You’ll forever be working as a stuntwoman. Don’t even dream about being a celebrity.”

Eliza smiled. She turned to look back. “Well, it’s an undeniable fact that you’re a homewrecker. Don’t even dream about clearing your name.”

After that, she walked away. Madeleine glared at her with hatred brewing inside. “What does she mean by that? Madeleine? A homewrecker?”

“That’s what Eliza meant right? I thought Jay was single before dating Madeleine.”

“Could it be that Jay was dating someone else before this, and Madeleine…”

A few of the actresses gathered around and gossiped. Madeleine turned around and glared at them. “Nonsense! I’ll kill you all if I ever hear you talking behind my back again Some of them stuck out their tongues and said, “If you want to blame someone for this, go and vent your anger at Eliza instead. She’s the one who started the rumor anyway.”

Madeleine narrowed her eyes.

Eliza Lawson.

She would definitely make that b*tch pay.
