Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 698

When Richard heard her voice, he was surprised.

Then, he extended his palm and grabbed Eliza's shoulder, forcefully pulling her over so that she could face him.

Under the soft light from the balcony, Eliza had long unknowingly shed tears, as her expression became sorrowful.

"What's the matter? Why are you crying so easily?" In Richard's opinion, Eliza was one of those crafty women. A weird girl like her wouldn't easily shed tears.

But at this moment, her tear-stained appearance really surprised Richard and made him absent- minded.

Eliza also felt that it was shameful, she once again shook her hand, turned around, and continued to wipe her tears with her hands.

"I am... It's because I feel that the scene of your brother hugging Arya just now was very touching." Eliza lowered her head and replied with an unnatural voice.

"Touching? Heh, your emotions are really rich. My brother embraces Arya like this every day, if you were to see him do it every day, wouldn't you be moved to tears day and night?" Richard simply did not know what Eliza had experienced in the past, that was why he ridiculed her without caring about anything else.

Eliza also felt that she herself was being too shameful. She bit her lower lip tightly: "Maybe it's because

my emotions are too fragile and I can't bear to see the scene of a father and daughter being too close."

"Boring!" Richard Hughes mocked.

When he every time reminded of the word "fatherly love", Richard felt that he had even more right to be sad.

However, he was also a man. His tears wouldn't fall so easily, even though he had once envied others for having parents to accompany beside.

Perhaps the more he experienced, the more his emotions would be numbed.

Eliza's entire body shivered.

In Richard's eyes, her tears were extremely boring.

What was she feeling?

Is it because it's been too long since l've opened up my books of memories? Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disgust you, I... I won't do it again!" Eliza anxiously wiped the tears off her face.

Richard saw that she had actually lowered her head to apologize to him, and was annoyed for a moment. "You women are really troublesome, always wanting to cry, I really don't know if the water you drink everyday has turned into tears."

Eliza's heart was still in pain but she didn't care how Richard mocked her.

"Am I really rude?" Eliza asked him softly.

"I'm fine. It's just that when you see my grandparents in a bit, don't cry, or else they would think I bullied you." Richard reminded her with a light snort.

"It can't be, actually, I'm not a woman who loves to cry so easily!" Eliza took his money and dangerously the play was almost ruined.

She was truly sorry.

"I can't see that. I just feel that your acting is too fake!" Richard lowered his voice, went close to her ear and ridiculed her, and then warned her: "Eliza, I have to remind you in advance, if you really lose your act, you won't have any money left!"

Eliza's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, she turned and looked at him, her small face full of fear: "Sorry, I know I shouldn't have been emotional, I really won't next time!"

"Be quiet, don't let anyone hear it!" Richard suddenly reached out his hands, covered her anxious mouth and whispered into her ear, reminding her in annoyance.

Eliza trembled in fear, the more anxious she was, the more chaotic the situation became, and the more chaotic it was, the more mistakes she would make.

I really might not have the talent to act.

Unlike Richard, who was born to be an expert in acting, it's really a disaster for Josh to act with her.

Eliza did not speak further, she only opened her beautiful eyes and nodded.

Richard's mind was filled with anger just now, but at this moment, when both of them had calmed down, he realized that what he had touched with his palm was her soft and tender lips.

The warm breath that came out of her small mouth made Richard's palm numb and itchy.

Seeing that he was still covering her mouth, Eliza quickly extended a finger and lightly tapped on the back of his hand, signaling him to release..

Only then did Richard retract his big hands, but he felt that there was something strange about the place where her lips touched.

Could it be... Were these a woman's lips?

So soft!

Eliza turned to look at him, seeing that he was in a daze, she thought he was still angry, so she suppressed her voice and asked: "Should we go down?"

Richard's eyes flashed with a strange light. Looking at her moist lips, his face darkened: "What are you going down for? Does it make you expose more flaws?"

"But... The two of us are up here... It doesn't seem like it's going well." It wasn't polite to say that she

had left without making a sound, but it didn't seem right for them to be upstairs now.

This was her first time in the Hughes Family after all, so she should be magnanimous.

Instead of hiding upstairs with her boyfriend, what would the old couple think of her?

While the two were in a stalemate, a sportscar suddenly drove by from downstairs.

Richard's gaze was instantly attracted over, he lowered his head, and looked at the sportscar with a complicated gaze.

The car door opened and Felicity, dressed in a professional suit and skirt, walked down with a bag in her hands.

After opening the door, she was the first to reach out for a two-year-old girl and carry her in her arms. The person who got out of the car was a very charming woman.

Richard recognized this woman. She was Alan's sister Lynn Wood and was currently the person in charge of the Wood Group.

Eliza curiously lowered her head and saw Felicity.

She was amazed.

Previously, when she was overseas, she had peeked at Felicity secretly. Because she was in a hurry to take photos, she did not carefully size her up.

At that moment, on a different floor with bright lights, she could clearly see Felicity's appearance.

The first impression she gave was actually not that of a beauty, but of a gentleness.

It was unsure if it was because of the little girl in her arms. The smile on her face and in her eyes was the radiance of a mother's love.

Eliza slightly raised her gaze.

Seeing that Richard had the same expression as if he had lost his soul, she sighed in her heart. For a gentle and beautiful woman like Felicity, any man would probably fall for her.

Richard was once so arrogant and conceited, now becoming a coward in front of her and only daring to peek at her.

For some reason, when Eliza looked at the gentleness in his eyes, her heart trembled slightly.

How hateful the man was before, but at this moment, he gave people a heartache and made her want to care of him?
