Ch. 16..20: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 16-20

Chapter 16 Have You Been Treated Well Maurice could never erase the tragic car accident from his mind.

The ambulance siren pierced the sky and a crowd had gathered amidst the chaos.

When he arrived at the scene, he was met with fire.

The crashed car was burning before his very eyes.

To his horror, the blood of his sister and her husband dyed the seats a deep, dark red.

Lying weakly in the ambulance, a young boy was covered in blood.

Silas reached out his small trembling hand and wailed, "Dad… Mom…"

The indescribable grief was indelibly printed on Maurice’s brain, haunting his will day by day.

Even though his heart was as cold as ice, he still couldn’t bear to hear the words "You caused my parents to die" from Silas.

 

After what seemed like an eternity, Maurice left the room, his face as pale as a ghost’s.

Corbin nearly gasped in surprise as he saw him.

"Mr.Moran, what’s the matter? Should I call a doctor—"… The man raised his hand and stopped him in his tracks.

His voice was dry, but it carried a certain indisputable weight that no one was allowed to refuse.

"We’re going to the Imperial Golden Club."

A drink was what he needed right now.

At the same time.

Eliana hadn’t received a reply from Preston until now, so she looked for his phone number but he hesitated, debating whether to call him. She had saved him out of the goodness of her heart, yet he didn’t have the decency to even thank her.

As if that wasn’t enough, he refused to apologize to her for ruining the project.

Instead, he claimed that he would raise the money himself and compensate her… Just thinking about that b*****d made her angry! "Mommy!"

Adrian’s childish voice sounded from behind her.

The little child sat beside her and placed his clasped hands in front of her mysteriously.

"I have a gift for you." Eliana paused and looked at him expectantly.

Adrian slowly spread out his hands, revealing a leaf vein bookmark lying on his small palms.

"Adrian, did you make this yourself?" Eliana asked, taking the gift from Adrian carefully.

"Yes!" Adrian nodded proudly.

Eliana bent down and kissed the boy on the cheek.

Then, he quickly scurried off, his ears red from being flustered ‘Did I finally win? Mommy didn’t kiss Aileen, just me!’ he thought.

Eliana watched her son waddle off with an amused smile.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her phone screen and her heart sank.

Because she had been interrupted by Adrian, she had accidentally called Preston and he had answered it.

"Preston?"

Eliana pressed the phone against her ear, but there was no response from the other end of the line.She checked her phone in confusion.She hadn’t put the phone on mute.

"What do you want?"

A hoarse, unmistakably masculine voice suddenly sounded.

There was a hint of cruelty in his tone, which made Eliana’s scalp tingle.She immediately bit back the words she had planned to say to him

"Are you dumb?" Preston asked.

Adrian and Aileen were shouting at each other, horse playing around the house.

Eliana sighed and retired to the balcony for some peace and quiet.

The call was still ongoing, and she wanted to ask him why he didn’t reply to her.

However, as she opened her mouth, she said something else.

"Have you gotten the money?" A cold sneer sounded from the other end of the line.

The man’s tone was bone-chillingly cold.

"If you want money, come to the Imperial Golden Club and get it yourself "

Wells Without waiting for a response from her, the man dropped the call.

Eliana listened breathlessly to the cold beep on the phone.

‘What’s the matter with him? Did something bad happen to make him so ill-tempered? His tone is so arrogant! And who really asked for money from him? Why did he need me to get the money? Does he have that amount of money?’

All of a sudden, she scowled in frustration.

She was determined to teach the man w***e a lesson today! Without a minute to spare, Eliana hurried to the Imperial Golden Club.

The waiter graciously led her to the door of the VIP private room.

After hesitating for a while, Eliana pushed the door open and entered.

The room was still as spacious and luxurious as she remembered.

Beneath the dim light was a man standing beside a pool table.

A cold aura emanated from his body, which could daunt anyone who came close.

‘What’s going on? Preston seems different today… Is this how the most popular man w***e behaves?’ She pinched her palm lightly to pluck up the courage and walked towards the man.

After hitting the b***s into pockets at the edge of the pool table, Maurice picked up the glass of wine that was resting on the table and downed it in one gulp.

Then, he placed the glass in front of Eliana with a clang, She glanced up at him wordlessly.

‘Does he think he can treat me as a waitress?’ Without waiting for a response, the man picked up the cue and proceeded to aim at his target.

His clothes tightened ever so slightly, outlining his perfect figure as he flexed his muscles.His temperament was…

In a trance, Eliana felt like she was seeing the domineering CEO, Maurice.

She recalled the notification tone in the elevator–which, by the way, was a huge coincidence and realized that the voice was similar to Preston’s, Eliana suddenly felt the need to verify her suspicion, And so she obliged the man’s request and poured wine into his glass.

Maurice raised his hand to take the glass from her, but she suddenly withdrew her hand for seemingly no reason.

Maurice shot a cold glance at Eliana, which made her hair stand on end.She somehow managed to suppress the urge to retreat and smiled at Maurice.

"Why are you so depressed? Has your sugar mommy been treating you well?"

Maurice chuckled lowly, but his laughter didn’t reach his eyes, which was creepy.

Seeing this, Eliana couldn’t help but take a step back in fear.

All of a sudden, the cue clattered to the floor.

And a strong arm suddenly slipped around her waist.

Before she could protest, Maurice pressed his lips against hers passionately.The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy، .

 

Chapter 17 Defend Him Without Hesitation

Eliana didn’t even have the time to think.She was busy gasping for breath.

The man’s flexible tongue had swept past her lips and pried open her teeth, plundering her breath like a storm.

His strong body pressed hers against the pool table.

The temperature in the VIP room suddenly rose a couple degrees.

Eliana tried to resist his kiss.

But it was futile and only faint grunts could come out of her mouth, as though she was moaning eagerly, which only aroused Maurice’s desire even more.His hands eagerly reached down to lift up the hem of her shirt.His warm fingers swept across her bare skin, and Eliana couldn’t help but groan.

"You’re so sensitive…" Maurice whispered as he kissed her earlobe and even gently bit it.

 

His bewitching voice was so soft that her body grew numb because of it.

"Haven’t you been with any other man in the past few years?"

The shame he inflicted on her made Eliana fly into rage.

Gritting her teeth angrily, she hissed, "Of course! Countless times!"

Maurice sneered in disbelief while his fingers caressed her thin waist, causing her to tremble slightly.

"Your body tells me otherwise."

Hearing that, Eliana glared at him.

"You’ve also been lying! You’ve been saying that you’ll raise the money.So can you afford it or not?"

"I’ll pay you back by f*****g you."

"I don’t want that!"

She glared at the man stubbornly.

Maurice narrowed his eyes at her.

Suddenly, his grip on her tightened while his other hand started unbuttoning her clothes.

At the same time, he also silenced her by kissing her.

Eliana’s heart was pounding wildly in her chest.

As soon as she grabbed his hand to stop him, she heard a bang.

The door of the private room had been kicked open.

"F**k! They’re actually doing it!"

Antwan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his lustful eyes glued to Eliana whose beautiful shoulder was exposed.

Fortunately, when he saw Eliana enter the club, he immediately followed her with his men.

He had planned to teach this b***h a good lesson, but now… It was not bad to enjoy the view first.

Maurice’s expression immediately darkened.He pulled up Eliana’s clothes in one swift motion and stood in front of her protectively Upon glancing at him, Antwan instantly recognized him as the man

who kícked him in this club!

"Who the f**k are you and how’re you related to this b***h?" he demanded.

"I’m her man," Maurice answered coldly.

However, Eliana stuck her head out to protest.

"What the hell? You aren’t my man! Who said you were?"

"If he’s not your boyfriend, why are you two f*****g here?" Antwan chuckled dirtily.

"Or are you actually a pimp who works here?"

Antwan’s men behind him laughed obediently.

Eliana found herself at a loss for words.

"So he really is a pimp?"

Antwan’s eyes flashed with enlightenment.

"Eliana, why do you still pretend to be innocent? If you want a man, I can satisfy your needs.You don’t need to waste your money on this pimp." Maurice frowned in disgust.

"Get out of here." Antwan couldn’t help but curse.

"You’re just a pimp.Where does your arrogance come from? Just hand her over and I’ll order my men to spare your life."

As he spoke, the men behind Antwan started to close in on Maurice, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Feeling uneasy, Eliana grasped the hem of Maurice’s clothes nervously.

Seeing this, Maurice raised his eyebrows and grabbed her hand.

"What if I don’t agree?"

Antwan sneered, "She gave you money for one night only.Why bother to protect her?"

Maurice looked down at him.

Although he didn’t say anything, his sharp eyes were full of fierce deterrence Antwan couldn’t help but take a step back hesitantly, but he somehow tripped and staggered backward.

Embarrassed, he steadied himself awkwardly and instantly flew into a rage.

"D**n it! Cut his face! Beat the c**p out of him until he’s crippled!"

At his command, his men quickly surrounded Maurice.

Eliana was panic-stricken, and her hands moved with a life of their own.

When she came to her senses, she had already picked up the cue and swung it towards one of the men! The cue had smacked the man on the head and he shrieked in pain, crumpling to a heap on the floor and causing the men beside him to fall with him.

With his fall, a gap immediately appeared in the encirclement.

Without hesitation, Eliana pushed Maurice that way.

"Run!"

Maurice glanced back at her in surprise.

The woman was fragile and weak.Her knuckles were pale when she grabbed the cue.

Obviously, she was scared out of her wits.

Yet she stood to defend him without hesitation!

Chapter 18 The Strongest Pimp

"What are you waiting for!? Beat the c**p out of him!" Antwan shouted, his face purple from anger.

His men immediately sprang into action, clenching their fists and grabbing wine bottles as they rushed forward.

Eliana’s eyes went wide like saucers.

What should she do? Before the Pierce Group went bankrupt, she was the apple of her parents’ eyes.

Even though she had a near-death experience, she had always been taken care of and never gotten into fights after someone saved her.

‘Help!’ her mind shrieked.

 

Suddenly, she felt a strong arm wrapping around her waist, yanking her backwards hard.

Eliana was in a daze as she was thrown behind the pool table as a wine bottle flew over her head, narrowly missing her.

"Ah…!"

Still in a trance, she could hear pained screams from the other side of the pool table.

"Preston!"

In a panic, Eliana turned around with her heart in her throat, only to find that most of Antwan’s men littered the ground, groaning in pain.

With a quick kick from Maurice, the last of Antwan’s men flew across the room, slamming into the wall at the back.

In the blink of an eye, only Antwan was left standing.

His eyes were filled with horror as his legs trembled in fear.

Seeing the chaotic scene before her, Eliana was floored.She could see the indifference in Maurice’s eyes and gave him a thumbs -up subconsciously.

"You must be the strongest pimp out there," she breathed in awe.

"Amazing!"

Maurice frowned and said helplessly, "My life was on the line."

His uncle had been trying to have him killed for years.Countless assassins had come for him.

If he didn’t have the skills to protect himself, he would’ve already died by now.

However, Eliana didn’t catch what he meant.

Thinking about how he had been besieged by that rich woman’s husband, she sighed sadly.

‘Poor guy.It’s not easy to be a pimp these days.They risk their lives for hard-earned money.’

Bang!

Shocked by the sudden sound, Eliana looked up and found that Antwan had awkwardly slumped to the floor as he awkwardly tried to crawl to the door.

His pants’ crotch was wet, and there was a puddle left in his wake.It didn’t take long before an off putting smell wafted over to Eliana and Maurice.

Maurice averted his gaze in disgust and went straight to Eliana’s side.

Looking her up and down carefully, he asked, "Are you hurt?"

Shaking her head warily, Eliana answered, "I’m fine.But, just now… You actually had a conscience!"

Moments earlier, she was scared that Preston would run away, leaving her to fend for herself.

"Who was the one that tried to be a hero and told me to run away?" Maurice laughed teasingly.

Eliana was rendered speechless.

In that moment, she forced herself to come up with an excuse.

‘If it weren’t for the fact that this man was the father of my children, I wouldn’t give a d**n about him!’

Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching and several bodyguards in black suits filed inside the private room.

Eliana gulped nervously.She tugged at Maurice’s sleeve and whispered, "Are you going to be fired as things go on like this?"

The dim light outlined the man’s chiseled figure.He looked at her quietly without saying anything.

Was she actually worried about him? She seemed sincere when she risked her safety to save him just now… Eliana shifted uncomfortably under his gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Help me! Please!"

Antwan’s loud voice seemed to interrupt Maurice’s thoughts.He tore his gaze away from Eliana.

Eliana secretly breathed a sigh of relief.His gaze was too intense.

Antwan was plucked up from the floor by the bodyguards.

When he noticed that they were staring at his stained pants, he immediately grew furious from the humiliation.

"Bring out the owner of the Imperial Golden Club! Your pimp has no respect.How dare he hit a guest! Fire him! I demand that he is kicked out of our city!" The bodyguard was visibly confused.

"But isn’t the owner-".

He was suddenly cut off by the sound of glass shattering. The bodyguard looked up in surprise and saw that Maurice had dropped a glass on purpose.His mouth immediately snapped shut.

"Well? What’re you waiting for? Call him here right this instant!"

Antwan pointed a chubby finger at the bodyguard’s face.

The bodyguard took a step back in disgust.

Completely irritated by the way he was being treated, Antwan exploded and started shouting expletives.

Just as Elíana opened her mouth to argue with him, her phone started to ring.

When she saw that it was Kimora calling, she quickly left to find a quiet spot to take the call.

Finally, she retreated to the balcony and closed the door behind her before answering the phone.

Kimora’s sobbing voice sounded.

"Miss Pierce! The kids have gone missing!"

Hearing this, Elíana nearly broke down.Somehow, she managed to suppress her panic and compose herself.

"Kimora, track their locations."

Ever since Adrian was taken away because of a misunderstanding, she had bought tracker watches for each of the twins, just in case.

But she didn’t expect that it would happen so soon.

Thanks to Eliana’s reminder, Kimora remembered about the watches.

"Oh, right! Let me check right now!"

After hanging up the phone Eliana started to walk out in a hurry, regardless of the messy situation in the private room.

When she passed them by; Maurice grabbed her by the wrist and asked, "Where do you think you’re going?"

When Eliana met his inquisitive eyes, she was flustered.She didn’t want to tell Preston about the children just yet,-.So she decided to lie.

"I… I forgot to turn off the gas."

"Where do you live? Why do you still use a gas stove?"

Maurice raised his eyebrows dubiously.

Seeing this, Eliana forced out another excuse.

"My neighbor just called.Her dog is giving birth and she asked me to help!" Maurice narrowed his eyes at her, confused.

‘Why is she lying?’

Without saying anything more, Eliana shook off his hand and ran out of the private room.

"Don’t let that woman get away!"

Antwan commanded the bodyguards aggressively.

Then, he pointed at Maurice and barked, "And you, when your boss comes out, you’re dead meat!"

Maurice walked over casually, as though he was taking a stroll in a garden.He stopped right in front of Antwan.

Antwan stepped back immediately, flustered.

"Don’t you dare lay a finger on me! There are guards here!"

"Ha-ha!"

One of the bodyguards couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement.

‘He’s not a fool, is he? “

"I don’t want to see him again.Get him out of my sight."

After saying that, Maurice stepped out of the private room without looking back.

"Wow! What made you so arrogant…"

Antwan retorted subconsciously, but his voice gradually trailed off.

Only then did he realize that the bodyguards were all looking at him with hostility.He stepped back instinctively, his hair standing on end.

‘What’s going on? Why aren’t they obeying me?’

Outside, Maurice’s phone rang and he quickly answered it.

"What is it?"

"Mr.Moran, Mr.Gorman has gone missing!"

Chapter 19 Seeing Daddy Again

Maurice’s brows furrowed as soon as he logged into the positioning software.

Since Silas had done it so many times, he had already installed a GPS tracker in Silas’s smartwatch.

Now, the GPS was showing him that Silas was in a cake shop.

But why was he there? Maurice ordered his men to go there first before he got in his car and drove there.

Once he got to the cake shop, he slowly stopped his car outside and saw Silas inside the shop.

Taking off his mask, Maurice walked in with a sullen look.

He seemed so cold that the shop staff members were too terrified to even greet him.

The moment Silas saw him, he turned around.

 

"Silas.Why did you run away again?" Maurice asked coldly, frowning.

As soon as he finished his words, he heard a child call out to him.

"Daddy!"

The next moment, a small child ran up to him and hugged his leg.

Maurice looked down and saw a girl staring at him with bright eyes.She had a round face, and her hair was neatly tied up in a bun.

Even the heart of a cold-hearted man like Maurice would melt in front of the sweet girl.

Adrian stepped forward and pulled away Aileen’s hand helplessly.

"Why are you casually calling a stranger as daddy? Didn’t Mommy tell you to let go of this bad habit?"

Maurice narrowed his eyes at Adrian.

"It’s you." Adrian looked into his eyes and nodded politely.

"Hello, sir.We meet again."

"Daddy!"

Although he was trying to drag his sister away, she continued to hold Maurice’s hand, looking at him innocently with her bright watery eyes.

Adrian corrected her, "You should call him mister.He is Silas’s uncle."

Aileen nodded three times, smiled sweetly at Maurice, and blurted out, "Daddy."

Hearing that, Adrian was speechless.

Maurice, the ruthless businessman, became softhearted.

He bent down and asked gently, "Why are you here?"

Aileen showed him the menu and said with excitement, "We came here to choose a birthday cake for Mommy!"

Maurice glanced at Silas, stroked Aileen’s hair and smiled.

"Where do you live? I’ll drop you off at your house."

Adrian pulled Aileen into his arms and looked at Maurice warily.

"Our mommy doesn’t like us to reveal our house to strangers."

Hearing those bold words, Maurice burst into laughter.

"Adrian! Aileen!"

Kimora rushed into the cake shop, gasping for breath, and when she saw a man in front of the kids, she immediately rushed to their side.

"Kimora!" the twins called out in unison.

"Excuse me, sir.Are you the one that took the kids away?"

Standing in front of Maurice, Kimora glared at him.

"No.Daddy is a good man!"

Aileen held Kimora’s hand and shook it.She acted like a spoiled child, making it impossible for Kimora to be mad, Even Maurice found Aileen to be adorable, He couldn’t help but wonder why Silas was not being so good and obedient like her.

It was true that girls had a closer attachment towards adults than boys did.

Maurice looked at Silas, sighed, and held his hand.

"Let’s go home."

"No! You are so annoying!"

Silas shook off his hand and rushed towards the door.

"Silas!"

Maurice hissed with a serious look in his eyes.

The next second, several bodyguards blocked Silas’s path.

With a smile, Corbin opened the car door and said, "Mr.Gorman, please stop.

Your uncle is worried about you.

Please get in the Silas looked around to find a way to escape, but he knew that there was no chance for that now.

He snorted before he waved goodbye to Adrian and Aileen, quietly walked to the car, and sat down.

"Why is Silas angry all of a sudden?"

Standing on tiptoes, Aileen looked towards the car in confusion.

At the same time, Adrian waved to Silas.

Seeing the reluctant look in Silas’s eyes, Maurice came up with an idea.

"Corbin, buy the most expensive cake for them…"

He then glanced at Silas, and added, "In the name of Silas."

Silas froze when he heard those words, but he did not say anything and just tapped his fingers on the seat.

Corbin gave them a meaningful glance before he opened the door and got out of the car.

Chapter 20 The Devil Uncle

When Eliana arrived at the bakery, Kimora was there waiting for her with the twins.

"Mommy!"

Aileen’s eyes lit up immediately and she threw herself into Eliana’s arms.

Eliana hugged her daughter tightly with one hand, while she held out the other to Adrian, who was walking towards them calmly.

"Why didn’t you tell Kimora when you went out? We were so scared!"

The twins exchanged glances and stuck out their lower lips simultaneously, looking like two dolls.It seemed they hoped to get away with it: But Eliana didn’t buy it, not even for a second.

She even pulled a long face and said, "Why won’t you tell me?"

 

Seeing that the children were still silent, she released them and stood up gloomily.

Adrian realized that his mother got angry.He quickly grabbed the hem of Eliana’s clothes and said, "Mommy, don’t be angry.I’ll tell you everything."

Finally, Eliana squatted down and looked at her son attentively.

"Adrian!"

Aileen wailedin-an attempt to stop her brother from spilling the beans.

"Aileen and I wanted to surprise you."-Adrian patted his sister’s head while looking at Eliana with his big, round eyes.

"Mommy, it’s almost your birthday.We wanted to buy a big cake!"

"Adrian, since you’ve said it already, it’s not a surprise anymore!"

Aileen whined, her eyes filled with tears.

Eliana felt as though her heart was filled to the brim with love from her children.

Deeply touched, she sighed emotionally.She held out her arms and the twins Mished towards her.

The three embraced each other tightly while Eliana kissed them repeatedly.

"I’m-sorry.I lost my temper just now."

Aileen burst into a wide grin.

"It’s okay, Mommy! We forgive you!"

"It’s our fault.We sneaked out and made you worried," Adrian added sulkily.

On their way home, Eliana held each of their hands as the three walked in a line.

"What do you want for your birthday, Mommy?" Aileen asked, jumping up and down.

"Mommy will like whatever you give me."

"Then… What about a handsome daddy?"

"Aileen cupped her cheek and smiled giddily.

"I just saw Silas’s uncle.He was so handsome! Do you want him to be your boyfriend, Mommy?".

Eliana was at a loss whether to burst into tears or laughter.

Out of the blue, Adrian grabbed her hand tightly with both hands, like a lion protecting its cub.

"No! Mommy is ours and ours alone!"

"Don’t worry, little one.Mommy will always be yours,"

Eliana comforted him gently.

Seeing that her son’s expression softened, she asked, "Who is Silas? Your classmate?"

"Yes." Adrian sighed.

"But his life is too sad.His parents are dead.He lives with his devil uncle now."

"Devil… uncle?" Eliana asked with confusion.

Aileen shook her head disapprovingly.

"But when we met just now, his uncle was very nice and handsome and gentle-like a prince! He’s not a devil at all!" Adrian frowned deeply.

"You idiot.You can’t judge a man by his appearance."

"What did you just say? I’m not an idiot!"

Aileen glared at her brother and the two twins started to fight.

Night fell and the moon crept up high in the sky.

Eliana finally tucked the children up in bed and gave each of them a goodnight kiss.

When they drifted off to sleep, she crept out of their room quietly.

Recalling what had happened at the club, she suddenly pulled out her phone to call Preston.She had left in such a rush earlier that she didn’t know what had happened to Preston.

Did the owner of the Imperial Golden Club punish him? After all, he beat up an esteemed guest and left the private room in shambles.

Surely he would be asked to take responsibility Eliana tried dialing his number, but no one answered, so she could do nothing but leave him a few messages Minutes passed and she didn’t receive a reply.

She frowned more and more tightly.

What could’ve happened? Could Preston have been locked up? Or was he beaten so hard that he couldn’t even move? As her mind raced, Eliana sank into bed and sighed.

Despite her active mind, her body was exhausted and sleep soon overtook her "Preston Hmm…"

Eliana’s breath suddenly quickened.

In her dreams, her lips were pressed against Preston’s.

The man’s tongue forced itself into her mouth, dancing with her own tongue, arousing the passion that was once dormant in her body His hands reached under her clothes, skillfully unlatching her bra and grabbing at her plump b*****s.

In a daze, Eliana felt like her body was on fire.

She opened her misty eyes and saw that the man in front of her… It was… Maurice!? His half-closed eyes were so deep, as if they were intoxicated.

She trembled under his touch, feeling hot all over.But she felt something was wrong.
