Chapter 17

Eliza opened her mouth. Just as she wanted to say something, a spoonful of rice was shoved into her mouth.

She could not even speak. It was as if she was gagged.

Feeling helpless, she had no choice but to swallow the food.

Just when she opened her mouth to speak again, Beau shoved another spoonful of vegetables into her mouth.

Just like that, Beau assisted her until she finished her dinner.

At first, Eliza wanted to refuse his gesture. However, she gave in in the end.

After all, using her left hand to eat was very inconvenient. Besides, Beau was the one who injured her, so it was only natural for him to pay for it.

As she was eating. she looked up at Beau.

Beau seemed to be a cold and introverted man, which gave off a feeling that he was arrogant and an unfriendly person. However, Eliza could feel that he was really careful and gentle while feeding her.

Under the kitchen lights, she could see his defined facial features.

It wasn’t a dream at all. This man was Beau Valentine.

He was Eliza’s current husband.

He was so attractive that Eliza couldn’t stop staring at his face. She was so drawn that she even forgot to open her mouth.

“Mommy, why are you staring at daddy like that? Is he really that handsome?” Suddenly, she heard Demarion’s laughter from beside. Eliza snapped back to reality. She realized that Beau was still holding on to the spoon while waiting for her to open her mouth.

He looked at her with a smile.

He had already realized what was on Eliza’s mind.

All of a sudden, her face turned red.

She stammered and turned around. “I. I’m full!”

“Ok then.”

Gracefully, Beau finished her leftovers.

Then, he continued enjoying his meal while using her utensils. Upon seeing that, Eliza’s heart drummed against her chest.
