Chapter 133
Bradly was on the phone while standing in the airport’s departure lounge.
He was about to board a plane bound for America.
Bradly had no idea what had happened the night before. By the time he returned to the private dining room, both Eliana and her boyfriend were already gone.
In the departure lounge, there were a lot of people coming and going, and he was just standing there by himself. No one was waiting for him or seeing him off. It was just like the last time he was at the airport.
After much deliberation, Bradly finally dialed Eliana’s number. Even though he knew he had no chance, he still wanted to put an end to his unrequited love.
“Eliana, I’m at the airport right now. Please forgive me for not telling you. I’m afraid that I’ll find it harder to leave if you come to see me off.”
Bradly was trying his best to be calm.
Eliana, on the other end of the line, was quite disappointed. Bradly was one of the few people who knew about her past, and now, he was leaving her as well.
“It’s not a big deal, Bradly. I owe you a lot for helping me these past few days. As a friend, I wish you the best for the future.”
Eliana’s nose twitched as she spoke.
“Eliana, could you please answer a serious question for me? Is Preston really your boyfriend?”
Bradly clenched his phone tightly. He was holding his breath.
Maurice was leaning on Eliana’s shoulder at that time. He immediately frowned upon hearing Bradly’s question.
Bradly just asked her on the off chance that she was still single.
Without waiting for Eliana’s response, Maurice took her phone and said, “That’s correct. And I am with my girlfriend now.”
Maurice then hung up the phone.
Eliana didn’t get a chance to answer Bradly’s question. She could only watch in astonishment as Preston hung up the phone.
“Don’t be so unreasonable, Preston! You…”
“I’m going to take a bath.”
Maurice ignored her protest and jumped out of bed.
“You, rogue!” Eliana suddenly screamed, covering her eyes with her hands.
Maurice was naked.
“Since you’ve said I’m a rogue, I’ll be sorry for the title if I don’t do something shameful. Do you want to come with me to the shower?”
Maurice’s question was both serious and playful.
Eliana felt terrified when she heard that. She cowardly wrapped herself in the quilt.
Maurice just chuckled and walked into the bathroom.
Eliana didn’t get out of bed until she heard the sound of running water.
She hurriedly put on the rest of her clothes and looked around the room right after.
The room was small and quite run-down. It seemed very ordinary in comparison to Preston’s usual powerful character.
However, the room was warmly furnished, despite its old decoration.
The morning sunlight streamed in through the window and onto the wooden table in front of the bed, which also held a photo frame.
Eliana examined the photo frame more closely and discovered that it contained a photograph of the entire family. There was a man and a woman in the picture, as well as a little boy and a little girl. They all had lovely smiles on their faces. They were obviously a happy family.
It must be Preston’s family.
‘This little boy was Preston, right? But why did he look different now?’ Eliana wondered.
She was confused.
She then noticed an old photo album on the table. She opened it out of curiosity.
There were pictures of Preston dating back to his childhood in the photo album, including one of him wearing a diaper as a baby, learning to walk in his father’s arms, and one with him wearing a school uniform in kindergarten.
Eliana was somewhat obsessed with them. It was like she was watching Preston grow up through the photos. The next pictures in the album were those of him during his transition to adulthood. She was about to open the pages.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands grabbed the photo album from Eliana’s grasp.
“Don’t you realize it’s impolite to rummage through other people’s belongings?”
Maurice was obviously disappointed with what she did.
Fortunately, he came and intervened in time, or the secret would have been revealed.
