Chapter 37


    Chapter 37


    After she ended the call with Graciana, Eliza’s mind was in a mess. She had hurt her body badly due to


    the child she carried five years ago. Thus, there was a low probability of her ever conceiving in the


    future. Having Beau’s child within a year was out of the question. She might not even be able to conceive


    a child within two years. However, Graciana was right. Regardless of how minuscule the chances of her


    getting pregnant was, she had to show her sincerity. After she took a shower, Eliza looked at her


    reflection in the mirror and heaved a deep sigh. Tonight, she was really going to have to… At the thought


    of that, she blushed a deep, crimson red. She felt as though her heart was about to leap out of her chest.


    It wasn’t that she hadn’t slept with him before.

    However, she had been drunk then. She couldn’t seem to remember the whole thing clearly anymore.


    But now...


    Eliza patted her flushed face and stepped out of the bathroom.


    After tossing and turning around on the bed for a while, Eliza felt her head get even more muddled up.


    In the end, she gave Graciana a call with a blush on her face. “I don’t think I can do it. I’ll find some other


    way to repay him.” Graciana rolled her eyes at Eliza. “You are a wedded couple. This is the most direct


    form of repaying him!” “He’s done so much for you because you are his wife, and he is your husband!


    Since you are a married couple, then you should do what married couples do! Seeing how he’s so


    passive, he must be waiting for you to take the initiative!”


    Eliza listened silently. “Besides, you don’t feel repulsed by him at all. Aren’t you curious if he’s cured you


    of your fear towards men?” “Do you not like him? Or do you think that he doesn’t deserve you?” Eliza


    gripped her phone tightly. All of a sudden, she was tongue-tied. What Graciana said… seemed to make


    sense. But… “Wouldn’t it be awkward if he doesn’t have the intention to do that?” Graciana offered her


    another suggestion. “Give him a call. Tell him that you’ve got a surprise prepared for him at home. Ask


    him toe home soon.”


    “If he goes home immediately, that means that he’s thinking about it too. If he tells you that he’s busy,


    then he probably doesn’t want it.” Eliza wanted to give Beau a call after ending her conversation with


    Graciana. But she realized that she didn’t have his number. She thought about going downstairs to get


    Beau’s number from the butler and had just opened the door when she bumped into Demarion, who was


    about to knock on the door. The boy handed Eliza a phone. “Mommy, Daddy wants to talk to you.” She


    took a deep breath and picked up the phone. “Mr. Valen… Honey.” She changed her form of address


    towards Beau abruptly. “What time will you being back? I… I prepared a surprise for you.” “I’m on


    my way back.” Beau’s voice was a deep baritone which was pleasing to the ear. “I know what you have


    prepared.” Eliza’s face turned bright scarlet, right to the very tips of her ears. She stuttered. “You… You


    found out?” “Yes, I’m very pleased.” There was a hint of amusement in Beau’s voice. “But, I’ll be


    upying you for the whole night. Will that be alright?” Eliza was unable to utter even a single syble.


    A whole night?


    “I… Yes.”


    “Good.” He smiled. “I’ll be home in 30 minutes. Wait for me in the study.” The study room? Was he into


    such things? Eliza nodded with a face that was burning up. “Okay…” She hung up the phone. Demarion


    tilted his head and looked up at her. “Mommy, are you feeling unwell?” Why was her face so red? “No,


    I’m fine.” She bit her lip and returned the phone to Demarion. Then, she hurriedly turned back into her


    room and closed the door behind her. Beau’s words echoed in her mind. “I’m very pleased.” “I’ll be


    upying you for the whole night. Will that be alright?” “I’ll be home in 30 minutes. Wait for me in the


    study.”


    !!) His deep voice was charming and maic. Every time she recalled what he said, her heart would


    start pounding. Finally, she heaved a long breath and took out a set of figure-hugging nightwear from the


    closet.


    It was a wedding gift that Graciana had picked out for her. Graciana had wanted to buy her a set of very


    revealing lingerie. But in the end, due to Eliza’s strong objections, she ended up buying a set of


    nightwear that wasn’t revealing, yet still extremely enticing. When Beau was five minutes away from


    home, Eliza covered herself in a towel and sneaked into the study like a thief. This was her first time in


    his study. It was sleekly furnished, with a primarily ck and white color scheme. The study was


    spacious and there was a… ck marble table. She bit her lip and sat down on a chair. Somehow, some


    racy scenes popped up in her head. Almost instinctively, she reached out her hand to touch the surface


    of the table. Just as she was feeling distressed by how cold the table felt, she heard the sound of a car


    pulling up, and then the sound of a car door opening. He was back. She bit her lip and plucked up the


    courage to toss the towel aside. He had spent so much money to help her deal with Madeleine and Jay.


    This was the least she could do!


    “Mr. Valentine, you’re back.”


    The butler’s voice rang from downstairs. Eliza was so nervous that she could hear her own heartbeat.


    But as an actress, she was still able to remain poised. She sat on the chair and struck a pose she


    assumed looked alluring and waited for Beau to enter. She could hear footsteps approaching from the


    stairs. But… Why were there two sets of footsteps? Eliza frowned. She thought that she was probably


    just too nervous and her mind was ying tricks on her. Just as she cocked her head to listen again, the


    door of the study opened. Apart from Beau, who stood tall and sturdy as usual, another attractive young


    man entered along with him The world fell silent the moment the door opened. Eliza almost fell off her


    chair. What…? What was going on? Why was there another man behind Beau?


    She froze on the spot, still holding the posture from earlier on. D The moment his gaze met Eliza’s


    shapely figure, Beau’s eyes darkened. “Get out!” He snapped. Eliza immediately nched. Her face


    became so white it seemed devoid of any trace of blood. Was he… Was he embarrassed by her? But


    what he said on the phone… Wasn’t this what he meant? Eliza sniffed and came down from the chair.


    She bit her lip awkwardly and said, “I’m sor-…” Before she could even finish her words, the man behind


    Beau moved. He shot Eliza a cheeky look. “Aunt Eliza sure is charming!” After saying that, Matthew


    turned and left in a sh, closing the door behind him. The door of the study room mmed shut. Eliza’s


    apology was cut off abruptly. She looked up in confusion, and her gaze trailed over to the direction where


    Matthew left. “…” “Mrs. Valentine.” The man at the door undid his tie gracefully with a smirk on his lips.


    He approached Eliza slowly, exuding an overpowering aura. “It seems that I’ve misunderstood your


    ‘surprise’.” He backed her up against the desk. “Demarion sent me a photo of a braised fish. I thought


    that that was your surprise.” His gaze swept across Eliza’s seductive nightwear. “Looks like I’ve


    underestimated you.” “It turns out that Mrs. Valentine will not be giving me anything, but is asking for


    something from me instead.”


    Eliza was dazed for a long time. All of a sudden, she realized what he meant by that and in a split


    second, her face flushed a bright red.
