Chapter 23

The Valentine family’s villa.

Eliza hummed joyfully as she prepared dinner in the kitchen.

Demarion moved over a small stool and sat in the center of the kitchen. He rested his chin on both hands and tilted his head to look at Eliza. “Mommy.”

Eliza, who was busy cutting the vegetables, paused and looked at him. “What’s wrong?”

“If only you were my biological mommy.”

He stared into her eyes seriously and said, “You know, our eyes look the same. What if you actually turn out to be my biological mother?”

Eliza smiled helplessly as she turned around to continue doing her task at hand. “I’ve never given birth to children…”

She stopped abruptly.

She did have a miscarriage five years before.

Did that count as having experience in giving birth? Eliza’s heart ached when she thought about her past. She changed the topic instantly, “Have you never seen your biological mother before?” “No, I’ve never seen her before.” Demarion shook his head while saying, “I heard that my mother died while giving birth to us.” “Despite what they told us, I still believe that my mother is still alive somewhere in this world! She’s still waiting for us to find her!”

Listening to Demarion’s goal, Eliza’s heart went out to him.

She cut off a small piece of ham and stuffed it into Demarion’s mouth. Then, she squatted down and hugged him. “Hold on to that dream. You’ll definitely meet her one day.”

“Once you grow up into an adult, you can go and find her!” Demarion could feel the warmth of her body. While eating the piece of ham, he thought dejectedly. “If only Eliza is my real mother…”

A small part of Demarion still yearned to meet his own mother.

In the study upstairs.

Braint sat in the office with his arms crossed. Opposite him was Beau. He was a spitting image of his father.
