My Three Darlings

Chapter 25

Madeleine looked like she was about to murder Eliza at the moment.

Eliza smiled. “We are just working. I’m sure you won’t be jealous over something like this, right?” Right at this moment, Jay walked over.

Madeleine threw herself into his arms and said coquettishly, “Baby dear, Eliza is making me angry on purpose.”

“She keeps provoking me. Eliza wants me to feel jealous because you’ll be doing an intimate scene with her later.”

“We have been together for so many years. Why should I be jealous of her?” Jay frowned and looked at Eliza with displeasure, “Eliza, I understand that we’re not exactly buddies right now, but please understand that we are working at the moment.” “Please at least show professionalism at work.” “Sure, I don’t have any problems with that.”

Eliza stretched her arms lazily and said, “You keep going on about professionalism, but isn’t it unprofessional of you to have your girlfriend bossing me around during working hours?”

Eliza’s voice was quite loud, which attracted the staff’s attention.

Some of them started gossiping.

“I’m sure there’s a lot of celebrities who have girlfriends. I understand that she’s here to provide emotional support to Jay, but she doesn’t have to come every single day.”

“I think she’s trying to boost her own popularity. Don’t you know that Madeleine used to be an online influencer? The only thing special about her is her looks. She’s not even talented in acting or singing. If it

isn’t because of Jay, I’m sure nobody would want to hire her. That’s why she’s coming here every day to get more exposure.”

“Ew, that’s just disgusting.”

The staff was leaving nasty remarks on Madeleine’s attitude in their workplace.

Madeleine was beyond frustrated.

Finally, she freed herself from Jay’s embrace and said coldly, “I’m leaving.”

Jay caught up to her. He held on to Madeleine’s hand, coaxing and begging her to stay.

Sitting on the chair, Eliza flipped through the script while peeking at Jay and Madeleine in a distance. Jealousy engulfed her whole. She was in a relationship with Jay for six years, and yet he had never treated her like how he treated Madeleine.

Ten minutes later, the filming started. With her back facing the camera, Eliza stood rooted to the ground as she watched Jay walking towards her

gradually.

In this urban romance-themed drama, Jay was given the role of a ruthless and wealthy businessman.

Clad in a white suit, he walked towards Eliza with firm steps. All the other actresses surrounding them gaped with amazement.

“He’s so handsome…”

“As expected of someone who’ll be honored the Golden Bull Award this year!”

“I wish I have a boyfriend who’s as handsome as him!”

Listening to the compliments, Eliza frowned while staring at Jay’s face in silence.

She felt irked.

Eliza didn’t know what got into her back then. How could she waste 6 years of her youth on trash like him?

His looks could never be compared to Beau. Not even half of it!

“Eliza.”

Since they didn’t have any lines in this scene, Jay said with a low voice while holding on to her hand, “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

“You did it on purpose so that everyone would talk crap about Madeleine.”

Eliza narrowed her eyes slightly and sneered, “Yes, it was on purpose.”

However, she wouldn’t be disrespectful to Madeleine if Jay didn’t give her a lecture about professionalism just now.

After all, Eliza just wasn’t interested in meddling with their business.

“I hope there won’t be a next time.”

“Unlike you, Madeleine is a sensitive woman who doesn’t like people gossiping about her.”

Upon hearing that, her heart sank.

“Madeleine? A sensitive woman?” “Am I really just shameless to him?” Eliza thought.

Jay’s words were like daggers stabbing into her heart. “If something like this happens again, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Before Eliza could react, the director shouted, “It’s a wrap!”

“We won’t be doing more scenes today! Go home and rest well! We’ll continue tomorrow.”

Jay let go of Eliza’s hand and said in a cold tone, “Remember what I said.” Standing rooted to the ground, Eliza gritted her teeth as she watched Jay leave. She was grappled by sadness and disappointment, both at the same time.

Deep down, she knew that Jay really cared for Madeleine. It was the way he looked at her that shattered Eliza’s heart.

Jay would do anything for the woman he loved, even if that meant betraying Eliza.

She found it hard to reconcile with the realization that Jay had never showered her with love and care, not as he did with Madeleine anyway. It was then she realized that she was a sour loser in this triangle of a relationship.

After the whole day of work, Eliza returned home in low spirits.

“Mommy, are you sad?”

After dinner, Demarion supported his chin with both hands as he asked sternly, “You only laughed five times today, and I could tell that you’re forcing it.”

“Is something on your mind?”

Looking into the child’s sparkling eyes, Eliza shook her head helplessly. “I’m fine.”

“That’s not true.”

Demarion pouted. While cracking jokes to make Eliza laugh, he pulled out his phone and sent a text message to Braint.

“Braint, something big has happened! Mommy’s in a bad mood today!”

Braint, who was reading upstairs, glanced at the message and went straight to the study room.

In the study, Beau lowered his head while reading some documents. Hearing the voice at the door. Beau looked up and asked, “What’s the matter?

“I have something to tell you.”

Braint walked over and climbed onto the chair with his short legs. Then, he climbed onto the desk and sat down in front of Beau. They stared at each other. “Your wife isn’t happy today,

Beau frowned. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. “Come to my study.”

Soon after, a security officer with a burly build walked inside cautiously and placed a notebook on the desk. “The details of Eliza’s schedule for today are written in there.” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ever since the abduction. Beau had arranged for someone to keep a close eye on Eliza for her safety.

Braint frowned and picked up the notebook. “I see. Mommy’s ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend were stirring trouble for her.”

“That’s why she’s not happy.”

Beau frowned.

He thought that Eliza had moved on from her past relationship. That day, he even saw Eliza’s attitude while dealing with Jay and Madeleine with his own eyes.

“What exactly is troubling her?” Beau thought. Was Jay that great of a boyfriend to her? So much so that she was still reluctant in cutting a clean break with him?

Irritated, Beau tugged at his collar and continued working.

Braint snatched the document away and said, “Mr. Beau Valentine.”

“As a husband, you should do your best to make your wife happy.”

“Stop working.”

“Even though you have a lot of money, but you only have one wite.’ D

It was indeed rare to see Braint convincing his father to do something for him.

Beau looked at his serious expression and smiled. “You’ve been talking a lot ever since Eliza got into our family.”

Braint was shocked. He replied while blushing. “Really? I didn’t realize that.” “Yes.”

Beau took the document back into his hands and put it back on the table. “You really do like her, huh?”

“Uh huh…”

Braint pursed his lips and lowered his head. “I don’t know why.”

“I just feel that compared to the others, she feels more like a mother to me.”

Beau sighed and carried Braint in his arms as they left the study. “I’ll go check on her right now.”

“Okay.”

It was the first time for Beau to carry Braint in his arms. Braint was so embarrassed that even his ears had turned red. “Thank you for treating her well.”

Beau smiled helplessly. “Well, I can’t help it, right? Since you like her, I have to like her as well.”

“She’s my wife. It’s only natural for me to love and care for her.” After sending Braint back to his room, Beau returned to his bedroom. In the bedroom, Eliza was listening to the news broadcast while applying a mask on her face with her eyes closed. When Beau entered the room, the news had just shifted to the entertainment section. “Mr. Carr. Can you please give us more details about your relationship with Madeleine?”

“Rumors have it that Madeleine is only interested in my soaring popularity. That’s not true. The truth is, we have been together for almost 5 years. When we just started our relationship as a couple, I wasn’t as successful as I am now…” “Click.”

Halfway through Jay’s interview, someone turned off the broadcast.

Eliza opened her eyes.

In front of her was Beau, a man who was 100 times more handsome than Jay.

Beau frowned while staring at her, “They’ve been showing off their relationship to you at work. Still, you’re listening to news related to them at night?

“Eliza, do you have a habit of torturing yourself?”
