A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire

Eliza got up as soon as she announced.

Seeing that, Penelope called out to her.

"Eliza, you just came back; how are you going out already?"

Penelope wasn't too happy about it. She had been living with Gracelynn until she moved out recently. So why the rendezvous as soon as she came back?

"Mom..."

Stumped, Eliza choked on her words.

She nearly blurted she hadn't seen Gracelynn in a long time.

Thus, she immediately corrected herself.

"We... I, we have something going on. It's urgent. I have to go now."

Leaving these words behind, she fled.

Penelope didn't put too much thought into it, but Raelyn knew why. How shameless; who knew just how many people she had lied to!

"Why the rendezvous as soon as she's home?"

Penelope couldn't help murmuring.

"Mom, maybe Eliza has gotten herself a boyfriend. She is all grown up now; you don't have to worry too much."

Raelyn smiled gracefully, and her suggestion stumped Penelope. Yeah, the two girls never met up so frequently in the past. How did she not think of the possibility? Leave it to Raelyn and her wit.

"Oh, that brat! Why wouldn't she tell us? I… She has to let me see what kind of guy he is still!"

Penelope got anxious; this child was simply too naive. After all, she was the second young lady of the Stone family; there'd inevitably be men with ill intentions.

"Relax, mother; I'm just guessing. We can ask her when she comes back later."

Raelyn's calmness eased her mind gadually.

"Okay, we'll ask Eliza when she comes back."

……

Eliza trotted out of the door. The Stone residence wasn't far from the city center; she managed to hail a cab very quickly.

Her heart pounded as she got into the vehicle, wondering if her mother and sister got suspicious when she acted so abnormally.

Sitting jittery, clenching her phone, it wasn't until she didn't receive any calls or texts from home even after a long while that Eliza gradually eased.

She arrived in the city center swiftly. Though it wasn't as hot as in the summers anymore, there weren't many people on the streets at noon.

She settled the fare and alighted the vehicle. She came out early; it was only one-thirty.

Despite her early departure, she saw Gracelynn already sitting inside when she reached Hot Treats Cafe.

However, Eliza was a little hesitant. That was Gracelynn's figure, no doubt, but her haggardness got her doubting.

Gracelynn sat in a corner, looking out the window with a soulless gaze, not even responding when Eliza was close.

Eliza had only wanted to approach her to get a clearer look at first, but the closer she got, the more horrified she became.

Gracelynn didn't grow up filthy rich, but she didn't have to worry about when her next meal would be or not having a roof over her head, and she lived a carefree life too.
