Ch. 131..135: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 131-135

Chapter 131

The cold water splashed all over her face. Caught off guard, Eliana coughed and began to struggle with her hands and feet, trying to close the gap between her and the man she desired.

“Stop moving!”

Maurice remained vigilant and didn’t soften his heart. He wouldn’t let her near him no matter how hard she tried.

When Eliana last slept with him, she had been drugged and wasn’t thinking straight. As soon she got out of bed, she immediately turned against him, resigned from her job, and ran away. She was an irresponsible and impulsive woman.

Maurice knew better than to let history repeat itself.

However, the fiery desire in Eliana’s body could not be easily extinguished.

While struggling to regain her balance, she accidentally hit the showerhead, sending it crashing down to the floor. When she was about to stand up, she slipped and pulled Maurice down beside her.

Before Maurice could even react, Eliana’s kiss quickly fell on his lips.

It felt more like an aggressive bite than a sweet soft kiss.

However, it was more than enough to lower Maurice’s defenses. His willpower to resist this sexy little beast’s advances was slipping away. The lust in Maurice’s heart was ignited in an instant, and he couldn’t help kissing her back.

Suddenly, he was now the one in control.

The showerhead was still sprinkling, and the young couple kissing in a hot passion were both soaking wet. The temperature in the bathroom was constantly rising, and it seemed that they were both ready to take things all the way.

‘No. This can’t go on further.’

Maurice somehow managed to regain his senses in time and pushed away Eliana from his body.

“Eliana, get ahold of yourself and sober up!” Maurice shouted coldly.

Hearing his angry voice, Eliana suddenly snapped out of her drunken stupor. Her round eyes were filled with tears, emotionally drained and confused.

“Hey, don’t even think about crying! Don’t you remember what happened the last time we hooked up? You kept seducing me like this five years ago until I gave in. Then you immediately regretted it after sleeping with me. After bawling your eyes out, you even asked me to compensate you.”

Moreover, the situation was even more steamy and passionate when they last had sex.

The bittersweet memory of the lustful incident flashed in Eliana’s mind.

She suddenly felt sad, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

“You know what’s heartbreaking? My entire life had been so miserable up to this point! I know it’s pointless to dwell on the past. But I can’t seem to get rid of these bitter thoughts in my head. In my life of more than twenty years, I have only had sex twice. Yes, you heard that right. Only twice! Can you believe that? And in each case, it happened because I was drugged. How pathetic does that sound? I had sex in a daze. A special moment that was supposed to be intimate was reduced to an unmemorable fling. I’m such a wreck!”

Eliana kept sobbing while hugging Maurice tightly, desperate for comfort.

She only had sex twice? If that were true, then that meant he was the only man she had ever slept with.

Savoring the thought of this, Maurice felt a little pleased.

He was slightly amused to see that Eliana was so woeful about such a reason.

Maurice gently patted her on the back and comforted her, “Hey, don’t cry.”

He cradled her face in his hands and gently kissed away her tears.

Eliana was stunned by his sweet gesture and stared at him longingly with her big eyes.

Maurice felt a tingling sensation in his lower abdomen, and his desire rose unconsciously.

He put his mouth beside her ear and whispered seductively, “Do you really want it?”

“Yes, please,” Eliana answered in a soft voice.

Alas! He had finally given in to temptation.

The expression in Maurice’s eyes flickered dangerously in the light. He looked ravenous, like a fierce hunter about to capture his prey.

Picking up the drenched Eliana with his muscular arms, Maurice carried her out of the bathroom. He then stripped off all their clothes, dropping them carelessly on the floor.

On the dark blue bed sheet, the enchanting woman with beautiful skin spread her arms and legs in great anticipation. The handsome and well-built man crawled on top of her, creating a very tantalizing scene.

Maurice breathed more heavily as things started to heat up. He whispered in her ear, “Don’t be afraid. Leave everything to me. Don’t you always say that I’m a gigolo? Now you’re the one being served.”

Then he positioned himself in between her legs and slowly entered her. He grunted in pleasure as he pushed deeper and deeper.

The quilt moved as the two bodies collided repeatedly.

While Eliana was closing her eyes in satisfaction, one thing came to her mind unexpectedly.

It now occurred to her that Preston and Maurice were not the same person.

At least not in bed.

In between breaths, Maurice noticed that Eliana was preoccupied with her thoughts.

He was slightly annoyed that she was distracted, so he suddenly became rough, thrusting harder and faster. Eliana immediately snapped back to reality, and she moaned loudly in deep pleasure.

“Don’t take your mind off me. Just wait until I drive you crazy!”

The very next day, Eliana woke up with pain all over her body.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the handsome face of Preston. Her mind went blank in an instant.

How she wished it was just an illusion!

Eliana turned around in a hurry and tried to recall what had happened the night before.

All of a sudden, memories of her most recent sexual encounter flooded her mind. She remembered how she had pestered Preston and how she cried at his side, begging him for sweet sex.

Who would have thought she would hook up with Preston after she just slept with Maurice?

And it was exactly for the same reason.

Damn it! She had really become a promiscuous woman!

“You scum!”

Preston’s hoarse voice came from behind. It seemed they had some unfinished business to settle.

Chapter 132

“No! I am not!” Eliana blurted out.

Realizing something, she became stunned.

She turned around stiffly. Just as she thought, Preston was playfully staring at her lazily. His lust was satisfied now.

He looked so sexy and charming at this moment.

“What? Are you thinking of another man?” Maurice asked, raising his eyebrows at her.

“No! Not at all! Of course not.”

Eliana would never admit to him that she was thinking about the fact that she had slept with Maurice.

If she admitted that, then he would really think of her as a dissolute woman.

Hence, she denied, shaking her head.

Wanting to tease her, Maurice got close to her and touched the tip of her nose with his nose affectionately.

“Really? Is he as good as I am in bed?”

Upon hearing his sudden question, Eliana’s face flushed.

‘What a rogue!’

But after thinking about it for a moment, she realized that both Preston and Maurice were good in bed. It was really hard to tell who was better.

‘Wait… Why am I even comparing them?’

“Shut up! Preston, I am sure that you’re so proud of your skills in bed because of all the rich women you’ve served!” Eliana began to speak mindlessly.

And her words made Maurice feel morose.

She was the only woman he had ever slept with, but he could not tell her that. He was really upset.

Noticing his silence, Eliana figured that she must have hit him in the sore spot.

She quickly got off the bed, and picked up her clothes that were scattered on the floor.

The moment she put her shirt on, she sensed something weird. She suddenly remembered what had happened five years ago.

“Damn it! I almost forgot! Preston, did you wear a condom last night?” Eliana asked restlessly.

‘A condom?’

Maurice kept silent. Since it had happened so quickly the previous night, he had no time to get a condom.

Looking at his guilty expression, she figured that he must not have worn one.

Furious, she blurted out, “You didn’t wear it! And it was the same mistake that happened five years ago. Because of which, I…”

Realizing what she was about to do, she stopped suddenly.

‘Damn it! I almost spilled the beans…’

“What happened five years ago?”

Maurice immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Why was Eliana insisting on him wearing a condom? There must be some reason behind it.

“Nothing…” Eliana shook her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

“Eliana!” Maurice called out her name loudly, and fixed his gaze on her, putting her under a lot of pressure.

“I said nothing happened. Why are you so mad at me?”

Eliana also lost her temper, and Maurice did not know what to say.

However, he was certain that she was lying to him about something.

“Eliana, you’d better not hide anything from me. If I find out the truth, then you’ll be dead meat.”

Maurice’s eyes darkened. He was enraged.

Eliana became a little upset, because she knew that if he found out about the kids, then…

The consequences she would be facing in the future would be horrible!

Eliana was too nervous to even speak.

All of a sudden, her phone, which Maurice had gotten it and given it back to her, rang.

Eliana and Maurice both glanced at her phone at the same time.

And her heart skipped a beat.

She figured that it must be her kids calling her because she had stayed out all night.

She pounced on the bedside table to get her phone and was about to cut the call without even looking at the caller ID.

However, Maurice held her from behind as he quickly answered the call and turned on the speaker.

“Hello, Eliana. It’s me.”

Bradly’s voice came from the other end.

 

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.

Chapter 134

Eliana felt a little scared when she saw how gloomy Preston was.

“Don’t be angry. I am sorry, okay? I should not have rummaged through your stuff without permission.”

Maurice’s anger dissipated after he heard her sincere apology.

Raising her head, Eliana looked around and continued, “Is this really your house?”

“Yes, but it used to be my parents’ house.”

There was a hint of nostalgic look in his eyes, which revealed his soft side.

The elders of his parents’ families had not approved of their marriage, so they had eloped and had lived in that house for a few years. Only after Maurice’s sister was born had his grandfather brought them back.

And the days that Maurice had spent in his parents’ house was the happiest time of his life.

Eliana rarely ever heard about his family, and she knew nothing about them, except for the fact that his mother had passed away.

“What about your other family members? And this girl, is she your younger sister?”

Eliana’s eyes were gleaming with curiosity as she pointed at the photo.

Maurice kept silent for a long time, and just when she was convinced that he was not going to answer her, he said, “They are all gone.”

Eliana was shocked to hear that.

She found it strange that he was so calm when he talked about it. It was as though his heart was dead from the great pain of losing his loved ones.

She felt a sharp pain in her heart as though someone was piercing a needle through it.

She pitied him. If his family had been still around, then he would not have become a gigolo.

The sympathy in her eyes felt like a sting in his heart.

His parents had passed away when he was just a child, and he had been met with many peoples’ sympathetic looks.

And that would always make him feel disgusted.

“Don’t look at me like that. I don’t need your pity,” he said coldly.

He believed that pity was the most hypocritical and useless thing in the world.

Eliana did not seem to be irritated by his words. In fact, she was able to understand his feelings, so she patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

“Don’t worry. I won’t leave you before I help you find the ring. If you want, you can consider me as your family, and I will take care of you.”

As a mother of two kids, she wanted to take care of Preston, who had lacked a mother’s love.

In her eyes, he was a poor kid, who had lost his parents and had to grow up all alone.

Overwhelmed by her instinctive maternal love, she decided to be nicer to him.

Noticing that Preston had just washed his hair, Eliana immediately asked, “Why don’t you dry your hair? What if you catch a cold?”

Without waiting for his response, she turned around, and grabbed the hair dryer. Then she stared at him with gleaming eyes.

“Let me help you dry your hair.”

Maurice could not bring himself to refuse her when he saw the expectant look in her eyes.

He walked over and sat down on the bed quietly, letting her dry his hair.

Since she was used to drying her kids’ hair, she was good at it.

However, Maurice was a little touched because no one had dried his hair for him except for his mother.

When her soft small hand caressed his hair, Maurice felt the long lost peace. Only when he was with her was he able to let his guard down and enjoy a moment of peace.

“Eliana, I know that we are now pretending to be lovers. But how about making it real? Would you be my girlfriend?”

The noise from the hair dryer was so loud that Eliana was not able to hear him clearly.

She turned off the hair dryer, found a dry towel, and threw it to him.

“Dry off the rest with this.”

Maurice was speechless when he felt the towel thrown at his face. “Didn’t you hear my question?”

Confused, Eliana leaned closer and asked, “What? What did you say?”

The moment Maurice moved the towel off his face, he saw Eliana’s face that was merely a centimeter away from his. Within a second, their lips brushed against each other dramatically.

Eliana’s heart skipped a beat.

Covering her mouth, she took a step back. “What the hell are you doing?”

Maurice touched his lips, reminiscing the touch of her lips from a moment ago.

“I said, how about making it real? And would you be my girlfriend?” Maurice repeated.

Perhaps, it was the familiar place that was making him stay calm and finally able to confess his feelings.

He even decided to come clean about his identity and to never lie to her again if she accepted him.

Nervousness crashed into his heart like a wave as he stared at her expectantly.

“No. Sorry,” Eliana refused him, making his heart sink.

Chapter 135

Eliana was flustered after hearing Preston’s confession.

How could she not fall for a man who had saved her over and over again?

She knew that she liked him too, because if she did not, she would not have told him about her background. But for some reason, all she could think of was Maurice when she heard his confession.

She still had not figured out if she was in love with both of them, and she felt like it would be unfair to Preston if she agreed to be his girlfriend hastily.

Moreover, Preston was Adrian and Aileen’s father, and if they were together, then he would certainly introduce himself to the kids as their dad, but his occupation…

Her mind was so full of complex feelings that she decided to escape.

“Ah, Preston, I just remembered that I have something to deal with at home, so I have to go now.”

Eliana immediately turned to leave, but Preston held her hand tightly.

“Eliana, trust me. If you miss this opportunity, then you will regret it later.”

Maurice’s palms were sweaty as he held her hand.

There was an inexplicable sincerity in his eyes.

“You lied to me again. I can pay you for last night. Don’t worry. I won’t leave you without paying you for sleeping with you. I will give it to you when I have it, okay?”

‘Damn it! What is she even talking about?’

She was so embarrassed that she could not even bring herself to look into his eyes.

Preston seemed to lose all of his strength at that moment. He let her slip away from his hands and leave.

Soon, the door opened and closed, leaving him alone in the room.

He stood still for a long time.

Actually, he had not been to that house in a long time, and he could not understand why he had brought Eliana there on a whim.

He slowly walked to the table and looked at his family photo. Some people could not be brought back, and some wonderful times could never come back.

Everything had changed, and he was left alone.

He gently put down the photo frame, and took off his mask, revealing the lonely Maurice.

Meanwhile, Eliana returned home in a daze.

“I’m back,” she announced weakly after opening the door.

“Oh thank God! You’re finally back!”

Nana rushed to her and grabbed her arm. “Where were you? I was worried sick about you! I kept calling you, and when you didn’t answer, I thought that something bad happened to you! Were you really planning on scaring me to death?”

“You called me?”

With a frown, Eliana took out her phone and was shocked to see that it was turned off.

“My phone is dead, but nothing bad happened. Don’t worry.”

Saying that, Eliana charged her phone.

However, something seemed to be wrong.

Realizing that, Nana stared at her friend and questioned in a suspicious tone, “Tell me the truth. If nothing happened, then why didn’t you come home last night?”

Upon hearing that, Eliana suddenly remembered Preston’s confession from earlier.

“Would you be my girlfriend?”

She became more upset and did not even know how to explain it to her.

“Nana, someone confessed his love for me.”

“Confess his love for you? What? Who?” Nana stammered in shock.

“Preston.” Eliana fell silent for a moment.

She then told everything that happened the night before to her best friend.

“Tell me, did I do something wrong?” Eliana asked, feeling distressed, and after finding out about it, Nana did not know how to comfort her.

“Let’s not worry about the future now. You should eat this first.”

Saying that, she put a contraceptive pill in Eliana’s hand, who took it obediently.

“Honey, you didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t be so soft-hearted! Think about it… What if Preston finds out about the kids and tries to take them away from you?”

Nana sighed and gave Eliana a warm hug.

And she was right. Eliana could never bear to lose her beloved kids.

She pulled herself together, and understood that she could never take any risks about her children.

“Thank you, Nana. I understand now.”

“You just need to cheer up. I’ve stuck notices for the missing dog on the wall by the side of the road, and I’ve mentioned your phone number on it. And I have also asked someone to look for Hodge. Those are the most important things now,” Nana reminded her.

Eliana also felt that she could not set aside her priorities for the sake of her relationship with Preston.

She wanted to see if there was any news.

The moment she turned on her phone, she was stunned to see that there were several missed calls from a particular unknown number.

Who had called her?
