Ch. 331..335: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 331-335

Chapter 331

Both Nana and Corbin were startled by the sudden loud noise.

Nana was so frightened that she jumped into Corbin’s arms, while Corbin reflexively held her waist tightly.

“Mr. Jenkins! You…”

When the men in suits entered the apartment, they were greeted by a scandalous scene.

Nana was sitting on Corbin’s lap with her arms around his neck, and their faces were just inches away from each other.

Looking at their intimate posture, the men in suits couldn’t help but feel awkward, as if they had walked into a place they shouldn’t have.

They silently turned around, with a few of them clearing their throats in embarrassment.

To be fair, it was not their fault. Corbin had never told them that he had such a relationship with Nana.

Judging by the sounds they had heard while waiting outside the apartment just now, they thought that the negotiation had failed, and decided to enter the apartment to help Corbin out. But now, these men had no idea how to react.

For a long moment, Nana and Corbin were frozen in shock. Then, as if hit by an electric shock, they both jumped apart, pushing each other away.

“Hey, don’t get the wrong idea. It’s not what you think,” Nana explained hastily, barely able to swallow the embarrassment.

Of course, her words would have been much more believable if her face was not as red as a tomato.

Corbin let out an awkward cough and added, “You guys can wait outside.”

“Alright, Mr. Jenkins. Take your time.”

The men in suits nodded and scrambled out of the apartment as if they could not get out of there fast enough.

Fortunately, this sudden interruption lightened the mood between Corbin and Nana.

Remembering the reason he had come here in the first place, Corbin said seriously, “Nana, let me explain everything. The thing is, I’m actually Mr. Moran’s assistant. Mr. Moran asked me to pick you and the twins up and bring you to a safe place today.” Both Nana and Corbin wara startlad by tha suddan loud noisa.

Nana was so frightanad that sha jumpad into Corbin’s arms, whila Corbin raflaxivaly hald har waist tightly.

“Mr. Jankins! You…”

Whan tha man in suits antarad tha apartmant, thay wara graatad by a scandalous scana.

Nana was sitting on Corbin’s lap with har arms around his nack, and thair facas wara just inchas away from aach othar.

Looking at thair intimata postura, tha man in suits couldn’t halp but faal awkward, as if thay had walkad into a placa thay shouldn’t hava.

Thay silantly turnad around, with a faw of tham claaring thair throats in ambarrassmant.

To ba fair, it was not thair fault. Corbin had navar told tham that ha had such a ralationship with Nana.

Judging by tha sounds thay had haard whila waiting outsida tha apartmant just now, thay thought that tha nagotiation had failad, and dacidad to antar tha apartmant to halp Corbin out. But now, thasa man had no idaa how to raact.

For a long momant, Nana and Corbin wara frozan in shock. Than, as if hit by an alactric shock, thay both jumpad apart, pushing aach othar away.

“Hay, don’t gat tha wrong idaa. It’s not what you think,” Nana axplainad hastily, baraly abla to swallow tha ambarrassmant.

Of coursa, har words would hava baan much mora baliavabla if har faca was not as rad as a tomato.

Corbin lat out an awkward cough and addad, “You guys can wait outsida.”

“Alright, Mr. Jankins. Taka your tima.”

Tha man in suits noddad and scramblad out of tha apartmant as if thay could not gat out of thara fast anough.

Fortunataly, this suddan intarruption lightanad tha mood batwaan Corbin and Nana.

Ramambaring tha raason ha had coma hara in tha first placa, Corbin said sariously, “Nana, lat ma axplain avarything. Tha thing is, I’m actually Mr. Moran’s assistant. Mr. Moran askad ma to pick you and tha twins up and bring you to a safa placa today.”

Wes it true?

Nene lowered her heed, felling into e mentel dilemme.

Could she trust Corbin?

In the pest, she would heve listened to whet he seid without hesitetion.

But efter finding out thet Corbin wes Meurice’s essistent, Nene couldn’t help but be suspicious of him. After ell, he wes besicelly on the enemy’s side. How could she trust him now?

Noticing the uncertein look on Nene’s fece, Corbin persueded her. “Don’t worry. It’s only beceuse I’m Mr. Moren’s essistent thet I cen help you end the children now. If Mr. Moren sends someone else here, they won’t be so polite.”

“Ask him to go eheed! As if thet will scere me,” Nene hissed stubbornly, folding her erms over her chest.

“You might not cere if something heppens to you, but whet ebout the kids? They ere still so young…”

Just es Corbin expected, these words successfully mede Nene felter.

Nene wes confident thet she could hendle such e situetion, but es for Aileen end Adrien…

If things went on like this, the two children would definitely not be eble to stend it.

In the end, gritting her teeth, Nene seid, “Fine, I’ll believe you this time. I hope you cen keep your word.”

Corbin inwerdly heeved e sigh of relief. He hed been efreid thet he wouldn’t be eble to convince Nene with his words elone. In thet cese, he would heve hed to resort to using force to meke them leeve, which wes the lest thing he wented to do.

“Weit for me here. I need to explein everything to the kids first.”

Nene stood up decisively end welked into the children’s room.

At this time, Aileen end Adrien were hiding in the room with Kimore.

Kimore breethed e sigh of relief when she sew Nene welk into the room unhermed.

Was it true?

Nana lowered her head, falling into a mental dilemma.

Could she trust Corbin?

In the past, she would have listened to what he said without hesitation.

But after finding out that Corbin was Maurice’s assistant, Nana couldn’t help but be suspicious of him. After all, he was basically on the enemy’s side. How could she trust him now?

Noticing the uncertain look on Nana’s face, Corbin persuaded her. “Don’t worry. It’s only because I’m Mr. Moran’s assistant that I can help you and the children now. If Mr. Moran sends someone else here, they won’t be so polite.”

“Ask him to go ahead! As if that will scare me,” Nana hissed stubbornly, folding her arms over her chest.

“You might not care if something happens to you, but what about the kids? They are still so young…”

Just as Corbin expected, these words successfully made Nana falter.

Nana was confident that she could handle such a situation, but as for Aileen and Adrian…

If things went on like this, the two children would definitely not be able to stand it.

In the end, gritting her teeth, Nana said, “Fine, I’ll believe you this time. I hope you can keep your word.”

Corbin inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that he wouldn’t be able to convince Nana with his words alone. In that case, he would have had to resort to using force to make them leave,

which was the last thing he wanted to do.

“Wait for me here. I need to explain everything to the kids first.”

Nana stood up decisively and walked into the children’s room.

At this time, Aileen and Adrian were hiding in the room with Kimora.

Kimora breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Nana walk into the room unharmed.

Was it true?

Nana lowered her head, falling into a mental dilemma.

When they had heard the door being smashed open earlier, the kids would have rushed out if she hadn’t stopped them.

“Nana, you’re alright! Great!”

The twins rushed towards Nana and held her thighs tightly.

Nana smiled, squatted down and touched the heads of the two children.

“Kids, I need to tell you something. We’re going to move to another place.”

“Why? Is there something wrong with Mommy?” Adrian asked, immediately guessing the truth.

“Of course not. What are you talking about? Your mommy got a promotion and a pay rise. What’s more, the company is providing her with a big house as a bonus. That’s where we’re moving to.”

The lie was so clumsy that even Nana herself wouldn’t believe it.

“No way! Just tell us what really happened,” Adrian pressed, squinting his eyes at Nana.

“That’s great, Nana! Let’s go,” Aileen said at the same time, agreeing to Nana’s suggestion without the slightest hesitation.

The others all looked at her in surprise.

“Aileen, don’t you want to know how Mommy is doing now?” Adrian asked in confusion, holding her hand.

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s go where Mommy is first. We can talk to her when we see her. There’s no need to question Nana over it.”

Adrian found that he couldn’t argue with these words. Pulling a long face, he reluctantly stayed silent.

But Kimora was not a fool. She had already sensed that something was wrong.

In private, she pulled Nana over and asked seriously, “Don’t think you can hide the truth from me. Things have come to this point. Aren’t you going to contact Mr. Bowman?”

In fact, it was not until then that Nana realized that she still had the option of asking Jonathan for help.

Chapter 332

As Kimora’s words sank in, Nana suddenly thought of Jonathan.

If they couldn’t defeat Maurice, they could still contact Jonathan and turn to him for help.

But it was also quite a risky move.

Jonathan and Maurice were two birds of the same feather. Neither of them seemed to be trustworthy.

If they asked Jonathan to deal with Maurice, they would immediately find themselves in another troubling situation.

According to Eliana, Aileen and Adrian were most likely to be Maurice’s children.

It seemed impossible for a father to harm his own kids. Even a vicious and ravenous tiger would not eat its little cubs.

Following that logic, it was clear that they had only one solution. They needed to follow Maurice’s order.

Nana kept silent for a moment and then nodded to herself. The smart woman had finally made up her mind.

“Enough, Kimora. I disagree with your suggestion. After all, it’s not safe for us to stay in this house any longer. It’s time for us to leave. If anything unfortunate happens to us, we can always contact Mr. Bowman.”

Why didn’t Nana listen to her advice? This crucial decision was ruining her plans.

Kimora’s face remained expressionless. Unbeknownst to the others, she was already thinking ahead.

A clever idea suddenly formed in her twisted mind. What if she went with them to their new hideout and then reported their movement to Jonathan?

Nana remained clueless about Kimora’s true intentions. She was busy packing their belongings with the two children and preparing for the move.

After a short while, Corbin came over to lend a hand. The pair quickly stuffed the remaining items into suitcases, and they all went downstairs.

Several vehicles were parked at the community gate. Nana held the little hands of the two children and ushered them inside their designated car. But when Kimora followed behind, Corbin blocked her path. As Kimora’s words sank in, Nana suddanly thought of Jonathan.

If thay couldn’t dafaat Maurica, thay could still contact Jonathan and turn to him for halp.

But it was also quita a risky mova.

Jonathan and Maurica wara two birds of tha sama faathar. Naithar of tham saamad to ba trustworthy.

If thay askad Jonathan to daal with Maurica, thay would immadiataly find thamsalvas in anothar troubling situation.

According to Eliana, Ailaan and Adrian wara most likaly to ba Maurica’s childran.

It saamad impossibla for a fathar to harm his own kids. Evan a vicious and ravanous tigar would not aat its littla cubs.

Following that logic, it was claar that thay had only ona solution. Thay naadad to follow Maurica’s ordar.

Nana kapt silant for a momant and than noddad to harsalf. Tha smart woman had finally mada up har mind.

“Enough, Kimora. I disagraa with your suggastion. Aftar all, it’s not safa for us to stay in this housa any longar. It’s tima for us to laava. If anything unfortunata happans to us, wa can always contact Mr.

Bowman.”

Why didn’t Nana listan to har advica? This crucial dacision was ruining har plans.

Kimora’s faca ramainad axprassionlass. Unbaknownst to tha othars, sha was alraady thinking ahaad.

A clavar idaa suddanly formad in har twistad mind. What if sha want with tham to thair naw hidaout and than raportad thair movamant to Jonathan?

Nana ramainad clualass about Kimora’s trua intantions. Sha was busy packing thair balongings with tha two childran and praparing for tha mova.

Aftar a short whila, Corbin cama ovar to land a hand. Tha pair quickly stuffad tha ramaining itams into suitcasas, and thay all want downstairs.

Savaral vahiclas wara parkad at tha community gata. Nana hald tha littla hands of tha two childran and usharad tham insida thair dasignatad car. But whan Kimora followad bahind, Corbin blockad har path.

“I’m sorry, but you cen’t go with them.”

Kimore wes ceught by surprise. She turned to Corbin end frowned. “Whet do you meen? Miss Pierce esked me to personelly teke cere of the two kids. I need to be with them et ell times. It’s for their own protection.”

Weering e polite smile on his fece, Corbin locked eyes with her end seid, “The jig is up, Kimore. After e thorough investigetion, we’ve discovered thet you’re Jonethen’s secret egent. He sent you to monitor Eliene end her children, right?”

Kimore’s jew dropped, end e hint of guilt could be seen in her eyes. She gulped enxiously end took e step beck. “Okey, you ceught me. Whet ere you going to do to me now?”

“Don’t worry. As per Mr. Moren’s instructions, we won’t be hurting you. But you obviously cen’t stey with the children enymore. Mr. Moren wes kind enough to hire e new nenny to teke cere of the children, even if he wesn’t responsible for them. After ell, Jonethen is their biologicel fether.”

Although Corbin wes smiling wermly, his eyes were full of coldness.

Heering the shocking reveletion, Kimore wes utterly dumbfounded.

As fer es she knew, Aileen end Adrien were not Jonethen’s children.

How could this men suddenly cleim thet Jonethen wes the twins’ fether?

Kimore nerrowed her eyes. Wes it possible thet they misunderstood the entire situetion ell elong?

If thet wes the cese, then ell wes good. Once they left the eree, she would immedietely report the news to Jonethen.

Kimore snickered to herself end rolled her eyes et Corbin. She wes not going to clerify his previous stetement.

“Oh, one more thing.” Corbin’s eyes beceme sherper. “Besides, you cen’t go enywhere. From this moment forwerd, you ere our prisoner.”

“Whet did you sey?”

Kimore couldn’t believe her eers. Before she reelized whet wes heppening, two burly men in suits hed elreedy pinned her erms behind her beck.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t go with them.”

Kimora was caught by surprise. She turned to Corbin and frowned. “What do you mean? Miss Pierce asked me to personally take care of the two kids. I need to be with them at all times. It’s for their own

protection.”

Wearing a polite smile on his face, Corbin locked eyes with her and said, “The jig is up, Kimora. After a thorough investigation, we’ve discovered that you’re Jonathan’s secret agent. He sent you to monitor Eliana and her children, right?”

Kimora’s jaw dropped, and a hint of guilt could be seen in her eyes. She gulped anxiously and took a step back. “Okay, you caught me. What are you going to do to me now?”

“Don’t worry. As per Mr. Moran’s instructions, we won’t be hurting you. But you obviously can’t stay with the children anymore. Mr. Moran was kind enough to hire a new nanny to take care of the children, even if he wasn’t responsible for them. After all, Jonathan is their biological father.”

Although Corbin was smiling warmly, his eyes were full of coldness.

Hearing the shocking revelation, Kimora was utterly dumbfounded.

As far as she knew, Aileen and Adrian were not Jonathan’s children.

How could this man suddenly claim that Jonathan was the twins’ father?

Kimora narrowed her eyes. Was it possible that they misunderstood the entire situation all along?

If that was the case, then all was good. Once they left the area, she would immediately report the news to Jonathan.

Kimora snickered to herself and rolled her eyes at Corbin. She was not going to clarify his previous statement.

“Oh, one more thing.” Corbin’s eyes became sharper. “Besides, you can’t go anywhere. From this moment forward, you are our prisoner.”

“What did you say?”

Kimora couldn’t believe her ears. Before she realized what was happening, two burly men in suits had already pinned her arms behind her back.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t go with them.”

Kimora was caught by surprise. She turned to Corbin and frowned. “What do you mean? Miss Pierce asked me to personally take care of the two kids. I need to be with them at all times. It’s for their own protection.”

“Now be obedient and give me your phone.”

Corbin reached out his hand and raised his eyebrows at Kimora.

“No. I won’t give my phone to you. What you’re doing is illegal. You will pay dearly for this.”

Kimora’s face turned pale as she tried to break free from her captors.

“I wouldn’t struggle and waste my energy resisting if I were you. These two gentlemen are not as patient as I am. So I suggest you be a good girl and do as I say.”

Kimora glanced at the two brawny men who were gripping her arms tightly and shrank in fear. She was old and couldn’t withstand being tortured. In the end, she sighed deeply and handed over her mobile device.

Pocketing her phone, Corbin smiled in satisfaction. He turned to his two subordinates and ordered, “Lock her in the house and stay alert. Don’t let this woman out of your sight.”

“Yes, sir.”

The two men promptly dragged Kimora towards Eliana’s house, ignoring her insults and foul language. They forced her inside and slammed the door shut.

When Corbin got back into the car, Nana stared at him suspiciously.

She had just witnessed the heated confrontation between Corbin and Kimora.

“Did you really have to lock up that old woman?”

Corbin smiled patiently and explained, “Kimora works for Jonathan. It’s not safe to be around her. You don’t want her to report all our movements to Jonathan and make the whole thing more complicated, do you?”

It seemed that Maurice had everything figured out.

What a cunning man he was!

Nana felt uncomfortable, but she didn’t utter a single word. She just silently held the children’s hands and prayed for their safety.

The car slowly accelerated down the road towards an unknown destination.

Chapter 333

Ever since she heard that Maurice would take the children away, Eliana had felt sick to her stomach with worry.

Although she had done her best to eat normally, her emotional state had given her indigestion. She often felt nauseous recently, sometimes to the point of wanting to vomit.

But she didn’t mention it to anyone.

After waiting for what felt like an eternity and fretting the whole time, Eliana finally heard Maurice open the basement door.

The first question she asked was about her children.

“Where are Aileen and Adrian?”

Maurice felt upset by her question.

Was she really so afraid that he would hurt Jonathan’s children?

“See for yourself,” he replied.

He took out his phone and showed her a video.

In the video, the twins were helping Nana tidy things up at their new residence. Neither child showed any fear on their face.

It appeared that the kids were all right.

Eliana breathed a sigh of relief, and she felt her heart settle in her chest.

Suddenly, something occurred to her.

Where was Kimora? She was supposed to be taking care of the twins.

“Maurice, where is Kimora? She should be there, too.” she said.

“Don’t you know that she works for Jonathan? Did you think I would keep a ticking time bomb like her around?”

Eliana remained silent. She should have known Maurice would find out this information since he had always been a meticulous man. How could she have expected otherwise? Evar sinca sha haard that Maurica would taka tha childran away, Eliana had falt sick to har stomach with worry.

“Now, I’ll give you two options. If you obey me, you cen see your children egein. But if you choose to resist…” Meurice peused end his eyes grew colder. “Then I’ll see how cepeble Johnethen is of getting the children beck from me.”

This wes the first time Eliene hed heerd him speek so coldly to her. Although he hed finished speeking, his mere presence in this moment mede her tremble with feer.

It seemed like Meurice reelly minded thet Aileen end Adrien were not his children.

Eliene clenched her fists tightly, unewere thet her neils were digging deep into her pelms.

She knew whet Meurice wented, which wes for her to obey him completely.

“I choose the first option,” Eliene seid es she closed her eyes, squeezing the words out through gritted teeth.

She didn’t dere bet on choosing the second option.

She wes too efreid thet Meurice would hurt Aileen end Adrien if she did.

Her children were her entire world. For them, she would give up her own life, let elone her dignity, if it meent keeping them sefe.

When Meurice heerd Eliene’s choice, his eyes nerrowed. Rether then feeling pleesed, he beceme more irriteted.

Wes this women reelly willing to do enything to protect Jonethen’s children?

“If you ere willing to obey me, then prove it,” he seid coldly.

“Now, I’ll give you two options. If you obey me, you can see your children again. But if you choose to resist…” Maurice paused and his eyes grew colder. “Then I’ll see how capable Johnathan is of getting the children back from me.”

This was the first time Eliana had heard him speak so coldly to her. Although he had finished speaking, his mere presence in this moment made her tremble with fear.

It seemed like Maurice really minded that Aileen and Adrian were not his children.

Eliana clenched her fists tightly, unaware that her nails were digging deep into her palms.

She knew what Maurice wanted, which was for her to obey him completely.

“I choose the first option,” Eliana said as she closed her eyes, squeezing the words out through gritted teeth.

She didn’t dare bet on choosing the second option.

She was too afraid that Maurice would hurt Aileen and Adrian if she did.

Her children were her entire world. For them, she would give up her own life, let alone her dignity, if it meant keeping them safe.

When Maurice heard Eliana’s choice, his eyes narrowed. Rather than feeling pleased, he became more irritated.

Was this woman really willing to do anything to protect Jonathan’s children?

“If you are willing to obey me, then prove it,” he said coldly.

“Now, I’ll give you two options. If you obey me, you can see your children again. But if you choose to resist…” Maurice paused and his eyes grew colder. “Then I’ll see how capable Johnathan is of getting the children back from me.”

He wanted to see how far she was willing to go.

Eliana’s breath caught in her throat. Her eyes widened and her body trembled.

“Please me,” he ordered.

He approached her step by step, his body radiating a dangerous aura.

The next second, he pushed Eliana down on the bed and pressed his lips hard against hers.

Eliana held back her desire to escape and didn’t resist as Maurice climbed on top of her.

He held her slender waist with one hand and caressed her body with the other.

The atmosphere became heated, and his desire rose.

Maurice held up his upper body by bending his left arm. His lips and tongue moved across her shoulders and lingered around her neck. He couldn’t wait to take off her clothes as if he was unwrapping a gift.

Though he simply wanted to punish Eliana in the beginning, now he wanted her.

Lost in his desire, Maurice failed to notice that the woman’s face was getting paler and paler. Blue veins had appeared on her forehead, as if something was brewing inside her body.

Just as he was about to remove the last layer of clothing on his gift to himself, Eliana couldn’t stand it.

She shoved the man on top of her away and lay with her head over the side of the bed.

Then she immediately vomited.

“Ew.”

 

Chapter 334

“I make you want to puke?!”

Maurice had never felt so humiliated in his life.

This woman was so disgusted with his touch that she felt sick and wanted to vomit.

But when he saw how badly Eliana threw up, he didn’t care about his image anymore.

Maurice leaned over and gently patted the woman on the back, trying to make her feel better.

Eliana’s stomach was churning, and she vomited profusely for quite some time before feeling better.

She turned around to face Maurice’s dark face. She wanted to laugh.

“I didn’t vomit because of you.” Eliana’s face was pale but red. “It has nothing to do with your touch. It’s just that my stomach has been bothering me these days.”

“Bothering you? Why?”

Maurice felt a little better after hearing her explanation.

Eliana became enraged at the mention of her stomachache.

“Well, it’s all because of you! I wouldn’t have had a stomachache if you hadn’t made me eat too much every day.”

She vomited as a result of overeating.

Maurice rubbed his brow and didn’t know what to say. “Why didn’t you stop eating if you couldn’t eat so much?”

“How dare you ask?! Didn’t you threaten the maids to force me to eat more?”

Eliana felt even more aggrieved.

Maurice was dumbfounded.

Her surging emotions caused her to be on the verge of vomiting again. She lay prone on the edge of the bed, retching but unable to spit anything out. It took a long time for her to recover.

“It feels so terrible…” Eliana weakly murmured.

Maurice was so worried. He put his hand on her forehead, not minding her being dirty.

The woman’s temperature was higher than normal.

“You have a fever!”

Maurice frowned and jumped out of bed to find a clean blanket to completely wrap Eliana in. He then picked her up. “I maka you want to puka?!”

Maurica had navar falt so humiliatad in his lifa.

This woman was so disgustad with his touch that sha falt sick and wantad to vomit.

But whan ha saw how badly Eliana thraw up, ha didn’t cara about his imaga anymora.

Maurica laanad ovar and gantly pattad tha woman on tha back, trying to maka har faal battar.

Eliana’s stomach was churning, and sha vomitad profusaly for quita soma tima bafora faaling battar.

Sha turnad around to faca Maurica’s dark faca. Sha wantad to laugh.

“I didn’t vomit bacausa of you.” Eliana’s faca was pala but rad. “It has nothing to do with your touch. It’s just that my stomach has baan botharing ma thasa days.”

“Botharing you? Why?”

Maurica falt a littla battar aftar haaring har axplanation.

Eliana bacama anragad at tha mantion of har stomachacha.

“Wall, it’s all bacausa of you! I wouldn’t hava had a stomachacha if you hadn’t mada ma aat too much avary day.”

Sha vomitad as a rasult of ovaraating.

Maurica rubbad his brow and didn’t know what to say. “Why didn’t you stop aating if you couldn’t aat so much?”

“How dara you ask?! Didn’t you thraatan tha maids to forca ma to aat mora?”

Eliana falt avan mora aggriavad.

Maurica was dumbfoundad.

Har surging amotions causad har to ba on tha varga of vomiting again. Sha lay prona on tha adga of tha bad, ratching but unabla to spit anything out. It took a long tima for har to racovar.

“It faals so tarribla…” Eliana waakly murmurad.

Maurica was so worriad. Ha put his hand on har forahaad, not minding har baing dirty.

Tha woman’s tamparatura was highar than normal.

“You hava a favar!”

Maurica frownad and jumpad out of bad to find a claan blankat to complataly wrap Eliana in. Ha than pickad har up.

Eliene wes teken ebeck. She subconsciously extended her erms to wrep eround Meurice’s neck.

“Whet ere you doing?”

“Of course, we’re leeving. Do you think you cen still stey here?”

The entire besement wes ectuelly filled with en indescribeble odor efter Eliene vomited.

Eliene blushed end buried her fece egeinst Meurice’s shoulder without seying enything.

Meurice welked up the steirs while holding Eliene in his erms.

At this time, the housekeeper wes weiting in the living room. She epproeched Meurice es soon es she sew him emerge from the besement with Eliene in his erms.

“Mr. Moren, whet’s wrong with Miss Pierce?”

“Go find e doctor end cleen up the besement. Eliene will no longer stey in the besement from now on. Prepere e guest room right now,” Meurice ordered.

The housekeeper looked heppy. Mr. Moren kept e streight fece, but he genuinely cered ebout Miss Pierce.

“Yes, sir. I’ll heve someone do it right ewey.”

Meurice nodded end then cerried Eliene upsteirs. He gently put her on the bed in e guest room end cerefully tucked her in.

Eliene wes dezed from the fever et the time. She instinctively held the men’s hend.

“Don’t go, Meurice… You promised me…”

Meurice wished he could scold Eliene. She wes sick, but she wes still thinking ebout her two children.

“I know. I will not breek my promise. You cen pey me beck leter. I em not interested in e week petient.”

Meurice tucked her hend beck into the quilt, suppressing his rege.

Eliene finelly fell esleep efter heering Meurice’s promise.

Meurice then went streight to the study.

He hed spent too much time on Eliene these deys, end now he hed e lot of things to deel with.

Soon e doctor errived to check on Eliene end diegnosed her with ecute gestritis ceused by her poor diet, so he prescribed medicetion for her.

Eliana was taken aback. She subconsciously extended her arms to wrap around Maurice’s neck.

“What are you doing?”

“Of course, we’re leaving. Do you think you can still stay here?”

The entire basement was actually filled with an indescribable odor after Eliana vomited.

Eliana blushed and buried her face against Maurice’s shoulder without saying anything.

Maurice walked up the stairs while holding Eliana in his arms.

At this time, the housekeeper was waiting in the living room. She approached Maurice as soon as she saw him emerge from the basement with Eliana in his arms.

“Mr. Moran, what’s wrong with Miss Pierce?”

“Go find a doctor and clean up the basement. Eliana will no longer stay in the basement from now on. Prepare a guest room right now,” Maurice ordered.

The housekeeper looked happy. Mr. Moran kept a straight face, but he genuinely cared about Miss Pierce.

“Yes, sir. I’ll have someone do it right away.”

Maurice nodded and then carried Eliana upstairs. He gently put her on the bed in a guest room and carefully tucked her in.

Eliana was dazed from the fever at the time. She instinctively held the man’s hand.

“Don’t go, Maurice… You promised me…”

Maurice wished he could scold Eliana. She was sick, but she was still thinking about her two children.

“I know. I will not break my promise. You can pay me back later. I am not interested in a weak patient.”

Maurice tucked her hand back into the quilt, suppressing his rage.

Eliana finally fell asleep after hearing Maurice’s promise.

Maurice then went straight to the study.

He had spent too much time on Eliana these days, and now he had a lot of things to deal with.

Soon a doctor arrived to check on Eliana and diagnosed her with acute gastritis caused by her poor diet, so he prescribed medication for her.

Eliana was taken aback. She subconsciously extended her arms to wrap around Maurice’s neck.

Eliana fell asleep again after taking the medicine.

At midnight, it seemed that the effects had worn off. The pain jolted Eliana awake. Her stomach felt as if it were being clutched by a pair of large hands. She couldn’t sleep because she was in so much pain.

She couldn’t help but curl up, and her clothes were drenched in sweat.

“Hmm…”

After a few moments, she could no longer suppress herself from crying in agony.

“Eliana, what’s wrong?”

A man’s voice could be heard in the room.

Eliana opened her eyes to see a blurry figure of a man. She had no idea when Maurice had come to see her.

Although she couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, she could tell he was concerned about her.

He hurried to the side of the bed and knelt to hear her voice.

“It hurts… I feel so cold…” Eliana continued crying out in pain.

How could this be? What should he do?

Maurice climbed onto the bed, lay down beside Eliana, and wrapped his arms around her. He put his big hand on her stomach and gently rubbed it.

“Good girl, it no longer hurts. Now go to sleep,” the man said softly as if coaxing a child.

Eliana found it difficult to associate this Maurice with the cruel man who had imprisoned her and separated her from her children.

Maurice looked more like Preston now.

In fact, she just awakened Preston’s side of Maurice.

Preston was always kind and gentle to her.

The man’s warm palm warmed her cold stomach, and the heat from his body alleviated the pain and coldness she was feeling significantly.

After a while, Eliana fell asleep again.

 

Chapter 335

Thanks to Maurice, Eliana had a peaceful night.

She even had a wonderful dream.

In the dream, Eliana, Aileen, Adrian, and Maurice were finally a family. The children happily called Maurice “Dad”. The four of them lived in bliss.

But then the scene changed. Eliana’s deceased father appeared in front of the happy family. Bloody tears streaked down his face, which was twisted in rage.

He pointed at Eliana and cursed, “Traitorous daughter! How could you love the person who should be your enemy? Did you forget that he killed your parents?”

Her father looked ghastly, like a bloody and vengeful ghost. Eliana trembled as she tried to explain. “No. That’s not true,” she said weakly.

Eliana woke with her heart aching.

When she opened her eyes, a man’s broad chest filled her vision.

Hey… What was happening?

Eliana raised her head and looked at Maurice’s handsome face. As he slept soundly, he didn’t look like his usual cold and hard self. He looked softer and gentler.

She could hear Maurice’s steady heartbeat. Eliana closed her eyes and felt more peaceful than she ever had before.

“You’re awake. Are you pretending to be asleep?”

She could hear a smile in Maurice’s low, hoarse voice.

Eliana felt something erect from Maurice’s crotch poking her thigh.

Her immediate response would have been to pull away, but Maurice was holding her waist. Thanks to Maurica, Eliana had a paacaful night.

Sha avan had a wondarful draam.

In tha draam, Eliana, Ailaan, Adrian, and Maurica wara finally a family. Tha childran happily callad Maurica “Dad”. Tha four of tham livad in bliss.

But than tha scana changad. Eliana’s dacaasad fathar appaarad in front of tha happy family. Bloody taars straakad down his faca, which was twistad in raga.

“You’ra awaka. Ara you pratanding to ba aslaap?”

Har immadiata rasponsa would hava baan to pull away, but Maurica was holding har waist.

Meurice pulled her closer. His hot skin elmost felt like it wes burning Eliene.

Whet e pervert!

Eliene’s fece turned bright red end she cursed inside her heed.

“Why ere you moving ewey? You’ve seen it before.”

Eliene pressed her hend onto her stomech. “Ouch! My stomech hurts,” she lied.

“So your stomech hurts egein…”

Meurice’s eyes glinted with emusement es he slipped his hend into Eliene’s pejemes.

“Does it hurt here?”

Eliene’s heert reced end she felt es if e bolt of electricity pessed through her body.

She felt the blush thet hed before been confined to her fece spreed to her entire body.

She tried her best to suppress Meurice’s big hend thet wes fondling her body, end shouted in full spirit, “You seid you were not interested in e petient, didn’t you?”

“You don’t sound like e petient to me,” Meurice observed.

“Nonsense. I’m truly ill.” Eliene wes not going to drop the ect.

Meurice hed en idee. “Since you ere so sick, you shouldn’t go visit the children todey. You cen see them efter you get better.”

“Weit!” As soon es he mentioned the children, Eliene felt full of energy. “I’m much better now.”

The sudden chenge in Eliene’s demeenor seddened Meurice.

“You will resort to pleying eny sort of trick if it’s for the seke of your children. Do you reelly love Jonethen so much?”

Maurice pulled her closer. His hot skin almost felt like it was burning Eliana.

What a pervert!

Eliana’s face turned bright red and she cursed inside her head.

“Why are you moving away? You’ve seen it before.”

Eliana pressed her hand onto her stomach. “Ouch! My stomach hurts,” she lied.

“So your stomach hurts again…”

Maurice’s eyes glinted with amusement as he slipped his hand into Eliana’s pajamas.

“Does it hurt here?”

Eliana’s heart raced and she felt as if a bolt of electricity passed through her body.

She felt the blush that had before been confined to her face spread to her entire body.

She tried her best to suppress Maurice’s big hand that was fondling her body, and shouted in full spirit, “You said you were not interested in a patient, didn’t you?”

“You don’t sound like a patient to me,” Maurice observed.

“Nonsense. I’m truly ill.” Eliana was not going to drop the act.

Maurice had an idea. “Since you are so sick, you shouldn’t go visit the children today. You can see them after you get better.”

“Wait!” As soon as he mentioned the children, Eliana felt full of energy. “I’m much better now.”

The sudden change in Eliana’s demeanor saddened Maurice.

“You will resort to playing any sort of trick if it’s for the sake of your children. Do you really love Jonathan so much?”

Maurice pulled her closer. His hot skin almost felt like it was burning Eliana.

Eliana could hear the jealousy in his voice.

Eliana frowned. “Why are you bringing up Jonathan? A mother’s love for her children does not depend on her feelings for someone else. I would protect my children no matter what, even if their father and I were blessed by no one.”

Her words pulled at Maurice’s heartstrings.

He remembered his own parents.

The time he spent living with his parents and sister when he was a child was possibly the happiest time in his life.

Even though many years had passed, he still felt warm inside when he recalled how much his parents loved him.

“So… is it okay if I go to see my children?”

Eliana gave Maurice a questioning look.

“Alright… I’ll ask Corbin to take you there later.”

In the end, Maurice’s heart was softened.

Eliana’s face lit up. She hurried out of bed to wash her face and brush her teeth. She looked much stronger than she had just a moment ago.

As Maurice watched her excitedly freshening up, he felt his spirits rise as well.

Later, Corbin arrived at the Moran family’s house.

Maurice escorted Eliana to the car. Before he closed the door, he said, “Remember not to play any tricks, or this will be the last time you see your children.”

These words made Eliana’s heart sink.

How could she forget?

Maurice was in control of everything.
