Chapter 52


    Chapter 52


    Eliza returned to her room for a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes.


    Then, she picked up her backpack and followed Graciana out. When she was about to leave, she walked


    over to the room next door and knocked. She wanted to notify Beau that she was leaving. She knocked


    for a long time, but nobody came to open the door. Feeling confused, she was about to give up and


    leave. But right then, the door opened. However, the person at the door was neither Beau nor Noah.


    Instead, it was a tall, built man. The man was donned in a set of grey pajamas, lookingfortable but


    impatient. “Is there anything I can help you with?” Eliza looked at the man’s face and her mind went


    nk for a second. Then she apologized awkwardly. “Sorry, I knocked on the wrong door.” The man


    looked at her coldly and the door mmed shut in her face. Eliza wasn’t sure how to react. Caught up in


    the urgency of the situationst night and in her hurry to return to her room this morning, she did not take


    note of Beau’s room number and all the doors looked the same, so… She ended up knocking on the


    wrong door. She sighed helplessly. “Maybe… Beau lives in the room to our right?” When she turned


    around, she found Graciana boring a hole into the closed door with her eyes. “Eliza, that’s… Julian


    Benton!” “Who?” “My idol! Julian Benton! He’s only just the best actor ever!” Graciana grabbed Eliza’s


    hand excitedly. “I came on this trip just to see him! “He is the brand ambassador for Sea World this


    holiday season! He has events going on here these few days!” She was so excited that her voice shook


    a little. “Never have I thought that he would be staying in the room next to ours! “As expected, he looks


    even hotter without makeup on! “I swear I could drown in his bleary eyes!”

    Eliza rolled her eyes. “I beg to differ.” He did not hold a candle to Beau. With that, she pulled Graciana’s


    hand away from hers, walked to Beau’s door, and knocked on it.


    The door opened after just two knocks. Noah stood smilingly at the door. “Mrs. Valentine, are you here to


    apany Mr. Valentine? “I knew you woulde back to take care of Mr. Valentine! You are such a


    kind and considerate person!” Eliza found herself grappling for words. “I actually just dropped by to


    inform him that I will be leaving for Sea World.” Noah had half a mind to take back what he said. “Be


    careful.” Beau’s deep voice came from inside the room. Eliza could see him sitting on the couch from the


    gap between Noah and the door. His legs were elegantly crossed. He looked regal and poised. Just his


    silhouette alone was enough to make her heart beat wildly. She was once again convinced that her


    judgment was correct. Beau was way more handsome than Julian Benton! “You should take care of


    yourself too. Don’t tire yourself out!” After saying that, she pulled Graciana away and left. Seeing her


    leave and enter the elevator, Noah sighed as he closed the door. “I thought that since you were injured,


    Mrs. Valentine would ditch her ns to have fun and stay here to take care of you. “But, seems like she


    left without hesitation.” The man leaned against the couch said nonchntly, “I am not so badly wounded


    that she needs to stay and take care of me.” “Besides, I would like her to go out more often too.” Noah


    pressed his lips into a thin line. “But you were clearly hoping that Mrs. Valentine would stay back to


    apany you too.” Beau paused for a brief moment as he held a document in his hand. He raised his


    head and looked at Noah with his deep eyes. “Did I?” His gaze looked so dangerous that Noah quickly


    lowered his head. “N- No, you did not.”


    Getting the reply he wanted from Noah, Beau continued reading the document. Noah heaved a heavy


    sigh. Mr. Valentine had been single for too long. It was clear that he wanted to be taken care of and


    apanied, but he did not even dare to admit it.


    Sea World swarmed with people. Graciana ran over to Eliza with two bottles of water. She was wearing a


    bikini. “Didn’t you agree to put on your swimwear? Why are you wearing this?” Eliza took a look at her


    conservative swimsuit and took the water that Graciana handed her. “What’s wrong with what I’m


    wearing? “There’s no hard and fast rule that everyone has to wear a bikini at the beach.” Graciana


    pressed her lips together. “But Eliza, it is such a waste to cover up when you have such a shapely


    figure!” Eliza smiled and kept quiet. She had her reasons for not wearing a bikini. The child she carried


    five years ago had left a few ugly stretch marks on her abdomen, and she also had a scar on her


    underbelly from the cesarean section. For some reason, her child had seemed exceptionally big. B The


    doctor who did her prenatal check-up had even said to her jokingly, “Your belly is so huge that I would


    not doubt if someone told me you were carrying triplets.” A Back then, Eliza replied smilingly that she


    was sure her child would be very clever, even smarter than three kids put together. s… Taking a deep


    breath, Eliza shook her head and pushed those unhappy memories to the back of her mind. Then, she


    joined Graciana on her expedition to try out all sorts of exciting rides in Sea World. Her whole day was


    spent screaming and hearing Graciana’s screams.


    The twodies spent a whole day trying out the rides and went on more than half of the rides in Sea


    World. By the time they were done with theirst ride, there were only a few people left in Sea World.


    They went to the shower stalls provided by the park to clean themselves up. “I am sorry, I did not find the


    target today. It is likely he did note to the amusement park.”


    Just as Eliza was about to take a shower, a woman entered the shower room. “Don’t worry. Sea World is


    empty now. No one can hear me on the phone.” At the woman’s words, Eliza halted all actions of


    preparing to take a shower. But herst words made Eliza break out in cold sweat. Her words were… “I


    was sure I had stabbed him in the shoulderst night. “He should have been injured. If he did not go to


    the hospital, he must be holding out. “I know he is in the hotel, but it is heavily guarded. I have no means


    of entering. “Start with the woman who came with him? How do you know that he brought a woman


    here? “Okay, send me the woman’s photo…” Eliza’s heart was in her throat. If her guess was correct…


    This woman should be referring to Beau. His shoulder had been stabbedst night and he didn’t go to


    the hospital. And the woman who came with him that she was referring to was none other than Eliza


    herself! At the thought that the woman outside could be a contract killer, Eliza hugged herself tight. She


    curled up in the corner of the shower stall and dared not make a sound. The woman outside was still in


    the middle of her call. After a long time, the sound of someone opening the shower door came from


    outside.


    Then, Graciana’s loud voice was heard. “Eliza! Are you done showering yet? Why are you taking so


    long? “I have already ended a call with my parents, and you are still not done showering?” She was done


    for Eliza sighed helplessly in her curled-up position in the shower stall. The moment Graciana entered,


    the woman outside ended her call. “Who are you looking for?”


    The woman asked in a chilly voice with an even frostier expression. “I’m looking for my friend.”  Graciana


    knocked on the doors one by one as she called out, “Eliza, why are you taking so long?”
