Chapter 702
Eliza suddenly looked as if an old scar had been exposed, and her entire body was covered in sadness, as she hid in the shadows behind the rockery in the yard.
For the first time, Richard realized that this woman actually had such a lovely and moving side. She looked like a fragile doll, pretty and weak.
When Eliza saw this man staring at her, she thought that he was about to mock her again. She immediately took a step forward, "As long as you promise not to do anything to me, I won't bother with what happened just now."
Richard hadn't even said that he would forgive her for meddling in other people's business, but he didn't expect her to be soft first.
"Since you are so confident, then why did you come to my place to suffer for a few coins? You should just go and ask your stepfather to give you money." Richard was proud to begin with, after being threatened by this woman just now, it was difficult for the anger in his heart to dissipate.
He just wanted to tease her.
Eliza didn't expect this man be so evil, she had even lowered her head to show her weakness. Why did he still use this topic to attack her?
"I'm just like that. I like to earn money by relying on my own hands. I don't like begging others to give it to me." Eliza slightly raised her chin, wanting to give herself some backbone.
"Is that so? Since you understand this logic, you should know that if you want to earn money from me,
you have to obediently follow my rules. Just based on the actions you claimed just now and the words you said to me, I can deduct your money." Richard himself was a boss, although he was a Big Star, he could still deal with the problem about money.
Eliza opened her mouth, but could not say anything.
Indeed, she had violated the rules by talking to Felicity.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again!" Since she was wrong, Eliza would admit it too. Moreover, she admitted her wrongs sincerely this time, and she was not as emotional as before.
Richard's bellyful of anger, had suddenly dissipated because of her resignation.
"Can you tell me your background now?" Richard was suddenly curious about her background.
Eliza's beautiful eyes instantly froze and her complexion rapidly paled. She bit her lips and shook her head. "I'm sorry, but the matter of our transaction does not require me to explain myself!"
Richard was startled.
I didn't expect this woman to be so smart.
"Go back, so they won't think too much about it!" Richard suddenly turned and left.
Eliza secretly heaved a sigh of relief and followed him into the hall.
When they were almost to the living room, Richard suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Eliza thought that he was going to do something again, her entire body shivered slightly, and then, the man turned and extended her hand out towards her.
Eliza's beautiful eyes widened, as she couldn't understand why.
"Give me your hand!" Richard never thought that this woman would actually be so wooden. She couldn't even understand his hand gestures.
"Oh!" Eliza then quickly reacted, just as she was about to pass her hand over, she was suddenly held tightly by the man.
The man's palm was warm and wide, making her five fingers even more slender.
Although it was not the first time Eliza was held by his hand, why did her heart beat so fast when he held her hand this time?
The two walked into the living room. They held hands so tightly that everyone could see that their relationship seemed to be quite good.
Felicity was also only startled for a moment.
Lynn watched as Richard held a girl's hand and walked in. She suddenly felt that she didn't come at the right time.
A family reunion, why should she, herself, present?
Although Lynn really wanted to leave tactfully, she actually liked to play with Arya after seeing her niece who had cried for an entire day.
Like a little penguin, Crystal followed behind Arya, extremely happy, kept on calling Arya "sister, sister."
In order to allow her niece to have fun and play happily, Lynn could only shamelessly continue to sit on the sofa and wait for dinner.
Fortunately, at that moment, Brian's sportscar stopped right outside the door. He got off the sportscar and walked into the living room with a lot of presents.
The old couple both also had gifts, and the two little fellows both received their gifts.
"Thank you, Uncle!" Arya and Abraham were extremely happy to thank him.
The old couple were very familiar with Brian, and they also felt that this young man was very kind, really good at doing things.
Seeing that Brian had arrived, Lynn secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Brian took the chance to introduce Lynn to the two people in the Hughes Family.
"Oh, really? Miss Lynn is your girlfriend? You're so lucky." The old lady said in surprise.
Brian's handsome face immediately blushed. He was shy.
Instead, it was Lynn who said naturally: "Thank you for your blessings."
Felicity sat aside, feeling a little disappointed in her heart. She was somewhat envious of couples like Lynn and Brian.
Richard and Eliza sat at another side.
As a new stranger, Eliza did not understand much about the people here, so she was immersed in her own thoughts. Just now, she suddenly thought about how she had run away from home for half a year, and wondered what her mother and stepfather were doing.
Well, maybe she should go back and see them sometime.
Richard lowered his head, his eyes fixated on the floor, and his heart unable to return to normal.
Edward's hand, touched Felicity's hand, and lightly shook it, as if he was comforting her.
Felicity looked up and smiled at him, the sense of loss in her heart was instantly dispelled by his consoling.
The dinner was very sumptuous!
After eating, Brian took Lynn and Crystal to leave.
Richard also decided to leave with Eliza, but the old lady stopped them, "Don't go tonight, stay at home for the night!"
Richard & Eliza's expression changed slightly. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Edward also helped out by the side: "That's right, it's not easy to get back home, and I have to go out again. I'll just stay for the night, then leave!"
Eliza quickly reached out and lightly tugged at Richard's clothes, as if to remind him not to stay overnight.
"Okay, we'll stay here tonight!" For Richard to actually make such a decision, his entire being felt a little bad.
Seeing that Richard & Eliza wanted to stay, Felicity directly brought the two little fellows down to the beach villa.
Edward wanted to follow along, but the old lady's obstructing gaze could only cause him to stand there aggrievedly and not move.
Felicity drove the car, and left the brightly lit great hall with the two children.
She was finally relieved.
Just now, when she was eating, she could still feel the look in Richard's eyes as he looked at her, which made her feel both nervous and guilty.
Now, taking the children with her and leaving, at least he didn't have to suffer the torment of fear.
