Chapter 697
Edward's sharp eyes sized Eliza up.
She was very pure and beautiful, and was compatible with his little brother.
"I am Edward Hughes!" Edward introduced himself very politely.
Eliza opened her mouth anxiously: "Mr. Edward, I have long heard of your great name, I never thought that you would be more handsome and younger than the pictures."
Richard never thought that Eliza would have such a sweet mouth the moment she saw his brother, and her words were very pleasant to listen to as well.
He raised his eyebrow in dissatisfaction: "So what you're saying is that my brother is much more handsome than me? Is that the definition in your heart?"
Eliza was only speaking the truth and did not intend to please Edward.
Hearing Josh spouting nonsense at the side, she immediately blushed red from embarrassment, and could not help but glare at him: "What I'm saying is the truth, your brother is indeed more mature and charismatic than you."
Otherwise, Felicity would not have fallen in love with Edward Hughes..
Thankfully, she didn't utter the later out.
Otherwise, her life would have ended here today.
Richard's gaze instantly froze.
There seemed to be a problem with this woman's eyes, her brain was still flooded by water.
Her current role was his girlfriend, but she was actually infatuated with his brother here.
It was simply unforgivable.
Eliza could also instantly feel someone's unhappiness. She immediately ran over to Richard's side with a smile, and pretended to hold his arm affectionately: "Alright, don't be angry. In my eyes, you're the most handsome man."
Edward looked at the way Eliza and her little brother were getting along. It seemed awkward, but at a certain moment, it indeed gave people a feeling of love.
Perhaps when everyone began to like a person, they would change, become sensitive, and become inferior and uncertain.
Edward could be considered an experienced person, back then when he was crazily chasing Felicity, even he had underwent such transformation.
Richard was naturally going to act for his brother. Thus, he reached out and hugged Eliza in his embrace and his thin lips lightly fell on her forehead. "That's it, or I will suppose that you have fallen in love with others."
After Edward heard his brother's impudent words, he could not help but smile and shake his head, "Alright, stop talking nonsense here."
Arya, who was running over to watch the show, immediately covered her eyes when she saw Richard kissing Eliza: "Uncle, you're embarrassing!"
Seeing his cute niece was laughing at him, he quickly let go of her hand.
Being kissed by this man just now, Eliza's beautiful face was a little dazed. It was only after Arya's words that she suddenly became clear-headed and her face immediately flushed red.
"Daddy, is sister Eliza uncle's girlfriend?" Arya was already very familiar with her, so she raised her head to ask Edward. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Edward nodded: "Yes!"
"Sister Eliza is so beautiful. Uncle must like her a lot, and I like her too." Arya's mouth turned sweet.
Edward squatted down, looked at his daughter's innocent and cute smile, and hugged her up, he unconsciously kissing her cheeks: "Surely, my princess. Then can Uncle and Sister Eliza come back to play with you often?"
"Of course!" Arya wished for someone to play with her the most, thus, she turned her head and looked at Richard seriously: "Uncle, can you let sister Eliza stay at our house from now on? This way, I can play with her every day."
Richard looked at Niece's expectant expression and then looked at Eliza's awkward expression. For a
moment, he didn't know how to reply.
"Arya, when I'm not working, I can play with you." Eliza did not want Richard to agree to this little fellow's request. She definitely was scared out of her wits.
Edward then said gently to her daughter: "Did you hear that? Sister Eliza still needs to work, so she can't play with you every day."
"Not good, playing with dad is so boring!" Arya was now like a little girl, she only liked to play with others of the same sex. Only a young and innovative girl like Eliza was Arya's favorite playmate.
Edward instantly felt like he had been struck by a blow. His precious daughter actually felt bored.
Why did this happen?
Had his daughter really grown up?
Does she become distant with him?
Richard snickered aside: "Bro, do you know how to play the little girl's game? It's normal that Arya doesn't want to play with you."
However, Edward was still very disappointed in his heart. He really hoped that his daughter wouldn't grow up so quickly.
However, when the little guy grew up and learned more about things and had more fun, then she would have less time with a father like him.
Arya seemed to be able to see that Edward was a little disappointed.
She immediately reached out her hands to touch-hold her father's face and kissed him twice. After that, she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulders: "Daddy, are you angry?"
Edward smiled gently and caressed her daughter's long hair, "Of course not, why would Daddy be angry at you?"
Eliza stood at the side and watched, she was inexplicably touched, and her heart started to ache, following that, she seemed to recall some very bad memories, and she turned to walk to the balcony.
She really couldn't stand the sight of the father and daughter hugging each other, because she was once the little jewel that her father held in his palms. It was a pity that many years had passed and the person who doted on her like a treasure had already gone to heaven.
Edward and Richard both looked at her back in surprise.
Obviously, none of them knew what was going on with Eliza.
"Go and take a look!" Seeing that his brother was still standing there foolishly, Edward immediately urged him on.
Richard frowned, what is she thinking now?
It was not polite to suddenly turn around and leave.
Arya also raised her head in surprise, "Daddy, what happened to Sister Eliza? Was she angry when I asked her to play with me?"
Edward was also unsure but he could only gently ball her little face and say: "No, maybe your Sister Eliza is not in a good mood, it has nothing to do with you."
"Oh!" Arya still could not understand her feelings, why was she suddenly in a bad mood?
Richard walked over to the balcony and saw Eliza standing dumbly by the railing with her back facing him. It was unknown what she was doing.
"What's the matter with you?" Richard stood there without moving.
Eliza quickly wiped the tears away with the back of her hand and shook her head.
