Chapter 122
“Eliana, I like you, and I want to take care of you, and give you a happy, wonderful future.”
Bradly could not bear to hide his feelings for her anymore. He spoke out his feelings, hoping that the
woman he loved would give him an answer.
However, his confession shocked Eliana.
Although she had vaguely guessed what he was trying to say to her, when she actually heard his
confession, she did not know what to say to him.
Bradly’s eyes were glistening when he gazed at her.
But Eliana knew well that her eyes would never sparkle the same way for him.
After all, she had always thought of him as a friend, and had never had any romantic feelings for him.
Moreover, she still had not told him that she was a mother of two children.
Bradly’s restless heart sank when he noticed her hesitance.
“Eliana, you… Are you in love with someone else?” he asked in a low voice, enduring the dull ache in
his heart.
She suddenly saw the hazy image of a man in her mind.
He had a handsome and enchanting face with cold yet soulful deep ck eyes.
He looked like Maurice, but also like Preston.
Thinking of the image in her mind, she felt like she was a fickle-minded, immoral woman.
Looking at the silent Eliana in front of him, Bradly knew what she was going to say.
With a bitter smile on his lips, he wondered if he waste in his confession again.
“Eliana. Don’t feel so stressed. I’m willing to wait for you. I was toote to confess my feelings for you
all those years ago, so you ended up dating Asher, that terrible man. I have regretted not telling you
sooner ever since, and I did not want to repeat the same mistake again.”
In Eliana’s life, Bradly was like the gentle cool breeze that was always there tofort her when she
needed it the most. No matter how much her life changed, he was always there for her.
Thinking of that, Eliana was in a dilemma.
Although he was a good man, she did not have feelings for him, and she believed that it would be too
cruel to make him wait.
What was she supposed to say?
“Bradly, please don’t say that. I… I already have a boyfriend,”
Eliana blurted out hastily. She did not want to waste his time or get his hopes up. She believed that he
deserved to be with a woman he loved, who also loved him back.
“Is… Is it Mr. Moran?” Bradly asked slowly.
“No! No, how could it be him? Anyway… I have a boyfriend now.”
Eliana clutched her hem of her shirt in her hand nervously as she lied to him with a heavy heart.
She probably did not notice that she always tended to clutch her clothes nervously whenever she lied.
Since Bradly had known her for so many years, it was easy for him to figure out that she was lying.
“Really? To celebrate my resignation, I invited everyone from the Design Department for dinner tonight.
I’ll help you find out if the man you’re with is a good one.”
Eliana’s heart skipped a beat. Where was she going to find a boyfriend now?
All of a sudden, Preston’s enchanting face shed in her mind.
An idea urred to her at once.
She could perhaps ask Preston to act like her boyfriend. Since they were already good friends, Preston
would not be able to demand a lot of money for the role, and he would probably do it for free.
“Okay, Bradly. Just hold on a minute. I’ll call him.”
Bradly’s eyes darkened when he heard those words. Just like any man, he was stubborn. He was
unwilling to give up before he saw Eliana’s boyfriend.

Eliana walked to a corner, took out her phone, found Preston’s number, and dialed it.
“Hello?”
Preston’s maic voice came to her ears, making her feel thirsty for some reason.
“Well… Preston, I have something to ask you. I need your help.”
Intrigued by her words, Maurice raised his eyebrows and asked in azy voice, “What is it?”
Eliana gulped and asked, “Well, can you be my boyfriend?”
