My Three Darlings by Anonymous

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 to come 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 be coming 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

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

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

occupying 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 magnetic. 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 black and white color scheme. The study was spacious and there was a… black 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 playing 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 blanched. 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 flash, closing the door behind him. The door of the study room slammed 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.
