Chapter 300 But, You're My Husband
Beau's emotional conversation and passionate kiss made Eliza instantly forget what she should say and do.
After a long while, when Beau let go of her to prepare breakfast, she finally found the logic behind the kiss.
When he brought their breakfast over, Beau's phone rang again.
From the number on the phone, Eliza could tell that it was from Irene.
She thought for a moment. The second before Beau hung up the phone, she stretched out her hand to Beau. "Let me do it."
Beau frowned and thought for a while before handing her the phone.
Eliza took it and answered.
"Mr. Valentine."
Irene who was on the other end of the line said humbly, "I really need this job, you..."
"You can come to the company to work."
Eliza took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Since you are the data analyst that the Valentine's Group needs now, I am not willing to cause trouble for the company."
"Miss Nelson, I hope what happened today will make you understand that a person should not have evil thoughts."
"This time, I can persuade Beau to keep you in the company. But if there is a next time, I will not plead for you."
On the other end of the line, Irene was silent for a long time. Finally, she sniffed. "I... I understand."
"Miss Wood, you can rest assured that I will not make such a mistake again..."
"Mm."
After getting her approval, Eliza took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
"I've said that the company can still find a suitable data analyst. It's not like she's the only one."
Beau passed the chopsticks to Eliza as he swept a helpless glance at her. "If it happened once, it will happen for the second time."
"Do you really trust me be in contact with such a woman?"
Eliza curled her lips. "You won't."
After that, she yawned and glanced at the handsome and cold face of the man in front of her.
"I've never heard that you would give your private number to a female subordinate of the company."
"And Irene is still a female subordinate who hasn't officially taken up the position. This is already very strange, isn't it?"
"What's more strange is that Irene went to the company to find you. As long as the receptionist told her whether you would go to the company today, she didn't have to call you, did she?"
Beau narrowed his eyes and pretended to be calm as he ate. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. "What do you mean?"
"Mr. Valentine's brain is still so active."
Eliza looked at him with a helpless smile in her eyes. "I think with your intelligence, you won't make such a stupid mistake."
"And the phone rang on the bedside table for a long time. You were sitting opposite me in the room, but you didn't answer the phone. Why?"
"Because you want me to pick up the call personally. And you want me to know how sincere you are to me."
Beau's face darkened.
He frowned and didn't say anything.
"You know that Irene has bad intentions towards you, so you gave your personal number to her on purpose. You purposely let her call you when we were together and purposely let me answer the phone..."
"Beau."
She looked at him. "I know that you are doing this to show me your true feelings, but..."
She raised her eyebrows slightly. "Since you want to express your feelings for me through Irene."
"Then I can use Irene to test your loyalty to me, can't I?"
After Eliza finished, she stared at Beau's face with her clear eyes. "What do you think?"
Beau looked at her for a long time.
After a long while, he helplessly rubbed his glabella and smiled.
"You're really getting smarter."
"However... "
He still silently defended himself.
"It's not my intention to use Irene."
"I gave her my private number because she is an excellent data analyst, so I hope to express my sincerity in hiring her."
"But, when she called just now, I saw you move, so I let you answer the phone."
After that, he sighed, "Since you asked me to keep Irene by my side..."
"Do you want to come to the company and monitor me?"
Eliza raised her eyebrows. While lowering her head to eat, she sneered. "If I have to constantly monitor you to prevent you from cheating on me... Why would I need you?"
Beau: "..."
In fact, he wanted her to work in the company because he wanted to look at her all the time...
It was not because he was afraid of her cheating on him, but because he missed her too much.
After dinner, Eliza stretched lazily and stood in front of the French windows, looking out at the traffic outside. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned around.
"By the way, what happened to Joye and Sergey afterward?"
When Joye and Sergey impersonated her identity, they wanted to take the Chapman family's property away while Shreya was in a coma.
Later, there was a stalemate between Beau and Eliza and Joye's true identity was exposed.
Later on, Eliza left the Sage City and had no idea about their subsequent experiences.
Beau looked down at the laptop screen and smiled.
"This is your Chapman family's problem. Why do you still need to ask me?"
Eliza rolled her eyes.
At that time, Hamza followed her and directly left the Sage City. In addition to inquiring about the news of Shreya, he did not care about the Chapman family's affairs, nor did Luca.
Although they were all from the Chapman family, they did not know much about the Chapman family's recent situation.
"I brought Joye back to Krine. She was crazy. Now she's locked up in a mental hospital. She's dreaming of becoming a princess every day."
"Sergey has returned to his hometown after he was stripped of all the property and rights he owned for many years."
After simply explaining the news of the two people, Beau sighed. "When are you planning to go back?"
Eliza was startled and turned around to look at him in confusion. "Go back for what?"
She didn't want to go back to the Chapman family at all and be that Miss Chapman.
She had always thought that she should be the daughter of a drunkard in the slum, and never thought that she could have such an identity.
The identity of Miss Chapman brought either amnesia or pain to her.
She would rather be an ugly Cerys than go back to the Chapman family.
"Elias too."
Beau walked behind her and gently held her in his arms. "Elias has been targeting the Chapman family all these years."
"The forces behind him are also against the Chapman family."
"In the present Chapman family, only your cousin is in charge. He may be defeated at any time..."
"You really don't care?"
Eliza frowned and turned to look at Beau. "Don't I have you?"
Beau chuckled. "I'm not from the Chapman family."
"But ..."
Eliza pursed her lips. "You're my husband."
