    Chapter 157


    Although Gloria didn’t know why Eliza asked this, she still nodded and said, “I will try my best to ask.”


    “Okay!” Eliza took a deep breath and was about to thank Gloria when her cell phone rang. It was Beau.


    Gloria squinted at the notification on the phone. “Oh, honey?” “The couple in love are really annoying.”


    She shrugged, no longer jealous of Eliza like back then. “I won’t bother you and Mr. Valentine showing


    affection to each other.” After that, she waved at Eliza and turned back to the room. The balcony door


    was closed. Eliza looked at the phone that was still vibrating. She took a deep breath and picked it up.


    “Why did you take so long to pick up? Are you busy?” As soon as the phone was connected, Beau’s


    deep voice, like a cello, came through. Eliza held her cell phone tightly. “No.” “What about you? What are


    you doing?” Beau on the other end of the line chuckled. “I’m thinking about you.” Eliza’s heart skipped a


    beat. She took a deep breath, trembled, and asked carefully, “I heard… that today is Chasity’s birthday.”


    “That’s right.” Beau did not deny it. “It’s today.” “You… went to pay a visit to her?” His voice was low.


    “Yes.” Eliza closed her eyes, and her heart felt as if it had been hollowed out. Sure enough… The news


    she saw on TV was real. The person who stood next to Lucija and gently patted Lucija’s shoulder was


    Beau. Somehow, she thought of what Joye had said on the phone in the elevator in the afternoon. “Are


    you going to visit her in the cemetery?” “Well, I almost forgot that it’s her birthday today. Mr. Valentine’s


    memory is really impressive…” “You’re going with Mr. Valentine.” Eliza’s fingers were tightly sping her


    phone. It was not that she could not ept Beau’s past, nor was it that she could not ept Beau


    paying respects to Chasity. After all, he remembered her and her birthday, which could show that he was


    loyal. She should be happy.


    However … Why the people who went to pay respects to Chasity with him were not Braint and


    Demarion, nor was it her? Why did it have to be Lucija and Joye? He should be very clear about Lucija’s


    intention toward him and Joye’s hostility against her. However, he still went with those two women. Was


    this a sign… Eliza closed her eyes. It meant that she was still an outsider in Beau’s heart. Or, Joye and


    Lucija were right, she was just a substitute. This conclusion made Eliza almost lose her bnce. She


    held her phone in one hand and held the balcony railing with the other hand, forcing herself to stand still.


    “Why… Why didn’t you take me with you to see her?” “In fact, I also want to visit her.” Beau on the other


    end of the phone was silent for a while. “If you want to go, I’ll take you there next time.” Eliza bit down on


    her lips. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t say anything Beau on the other end


    of the line frowned slightly as if he had detected something wrong with her mood. “Where are you?” “I’m


    in the hotel.” She sniffed. “Julian invites everyone to dinner tonight. They are ying cards inside. I’m on


    the balcony.” “Are you unhappy?” Along with his deep voice, came the sound of clothes being zipped.


    Eliza could not deduce what he was doing and could only pretend that she did not hear him. “There’s


    nothing to be unhappy about.” She took a deep breath and looked up at the distant sky and the street


    lights. “I’m very happy.” “You’re so kind to me and were willing to hold a press conference to announce


    our rtionship.” “Braint and Demarion like me very much and they’re very sensible.” “My career is also


    getting better. After this film, I can officially enter the entertainment circle…” “There’s really nothing to be


    unhappy about.”


    The more she said, the sourer her nose became and the hotter her eyes became. Finally, she withdrew


    her gaze and let the night breeze blow her face. “If there’s nothing else, let’s hang up first.” “They’re


    already having dinner. I’m a little hungry.” “All right.” The sound of the door opening came from the other


    end of the line. Beau’s deep voice sounded reassuring, “Eat more if you’re hungry.” “Call me if you need


    anything.” “All right.” Eliza had just finished speaking when the phone was hung up.   Listening to the


    busy tone from the other end of the phone, she smiled bitterly. As expected. Everything was just her


    wishful thinking. Beau was not a person with a low EQ. He had already guessed that she was in a bad


    mood, but he did not ask anything. The reason why she wanted to hang up the phone was so farfetched,


    but he listened to her and asked her to eat more. In fact, he didn’t intend to think about the reason why


    she was unhappy, and he didn’t want tofort her. Otherwise, why did he hang up so quickly? Thinking


    of this, she began to feel bitter in her heart. No wonder Lucija said that she was a substitute. No wonder


    Joye arrogantly mentioned Chasity in front of her. 2 In fact, they knew Beau better than her, so they had


    the confidence to say these words in front of her. AProperty belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The more she thought about it, the more sorrowful she became. Just then Gloria opened the balcony


    door. “Did the little woman in love finish her phone call already?” “The food is here. Shall we eat first or


    do you want to continue showing affection?” Eliza’s lips curled into a smile. “Of course we should eat


    first.” “Can love be food?” After that, she put the phone away and strode into the room. Various dishes


    were ced on the table in the room. It could be seen that Julian was a generous man. Each dish on the


    table was expensive. Moreover, the wines on the floor were all expensive. Eliza took the bowl that Gloria


    handed over. Just after a few bites, a male actor suggested that everyone should drink together. “You


    can’t drink, can you?” Gloria looked at Eliza and raised her hand to take away the wine in front of her.


    “Who said I can’t drink?” Eliza snatched the bottle of wine and directly undid its lid. Without even using a


    ss, she directly drank from the bottle. Everyone present was shocked. The alcohol content of the wine


    was high. Not even men could drink like this! Eliza could actually drink so well? Ten minutester, the


    bottle of strong alcohol finished. 1 Eliza, who was confused, put down the empty bottle and raised her


    hand to pick up another bottle. When her hand touched the second bottle, it was held by a warm and dry


    big hand.


    The next second, the hand skillfully took the bottle away from her. She frowned with dissatisfaction and


    looked up at the man. “You.”  After saying one word, she couldn’t speak anymore. Did… she have


    hallucinations after drinking too much? Wasn’t Beau not even willing to coax her? How did he appear in


    front of her?
