Ch. 366..370: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 366-370
Chapter 366
The next second, Harriet fell into Maurice’s arms.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Moran!” Harriet said in a hurry, looking up at Maurice with her hands resting against his chest for support. “I couldn’t maintain my balance. I guess I was a little dizzy after riding for such a long time.”
If it weren’t for the fact that her whole body was basically pressed against Maurice, her apology would have sounded more sincere.
As she spoke, she flipped back her hair which was disheveled by the wind while riding, deliberately revealing her slender neck.
The faint, seductive fragrance sprayed on her neck drifted into Maurice’s nose.
Harriet had to hold back the complacent smirk that fought to rush to the surface. In fact, this was a scene that she had rehearsed countless times in her mind.
Even the perfume she was wearing today had been carefully chosen for this specific moment. She would not make any mistakes this time.
Of course, the only reason Harriet had succeeded was because Maurice was too taken aback to react quickly enough.
The moment he realized what was happening, however, he frowned and took a step back, causing Harriet to stumble.
As for the scent of perfume left on his clothes, Maurice found it extremely irritating.
For Eliana, who was standing in the distance, the exact exchange between these two people was not clear.
All she could see was Harriet clinging to Maurice and looking intimately into his eyes, making the two of them looking like a couple.
Eliana couldn’t control the jealousy and bitterness that flooded her heart.
What was going on?
Maurice was the one who had called her here in the first place. But now that she was here, he was happily holding another woman in his arms.
But wait…
Wasn’t it better for him to be entangled with another woman?
If Maurice was entertaining himself with other women, it meant that he was tired of Eliana and would set her free soon.
As she thought of all these possibilities, Eliana’s mind was in a mess.
There was no doubt that seeing Maurice and Harriet in such an intimate posture left a bad taste in her mouth.
However, the logical part of her knew that it was better for Maurice to be distracted by Harriet like this.
After all, if Maurice found another woman for himself, he would not pester Eliana all the time. She could go back to living a peaceful life like before, without constantly worrying that the identity of her children’s father would be revealed.
Wouldn’t that be the best ending?
“Eliana!” Corbin called out, waving his hand in front of Eliana’s face. “Are you spacing out again? Mr. Moran called us over.”
“Ah!” When Eliana snapped back to reality, she saw Harriet waving them over.
Eliana had no interest in going over there and disturbing the happy couple, but the look in Maurice’s eyes sent a shiver down her spine.
His eyes contained a clear warning: if she didn’t go there right now, she would meet a miserable end.
But why?
Did Maurice find it fun to flirt with another woman in front of her?
Whatever it was, Eliana had no choice but to grit her teeth and walk towards Maurice.
As she approached Maurice and Harriet, she saw a refined middle-aged man standing there next to them.
“Corbin, Eliana, you’re here too.” Harriet warmly greeted the two. “Let me introduce you all. This is my uncle, Kelvin Stone. He’s my father’s younger brother.”
“Nice to meet you. Harriet has often mentioned you two to me. She said that Mr. Jenkins and Miss Pierce are both Maurice’s capable employees. Now, I can see for myself that it’s true,” Kelvin said with a warm smile on his face.
Eliana was not good at receiving compliments or networking with other people, so all she could do was smile awkwardly in response.
“Mr. Stone, you’re exaggerating too much. Miss Pierce isn’t as capable as you think. I’ll be very happy if she doesn’t cause me any trouble,” Maurice said lightly.
These words instantly grated on Eliana’s nerves. She turned around and gave Maurice a ferocious glare.
What did he mean?
When had she caused him any trouble?
Well…
Even if she had caused him trouble, Maurice had caused a lot of trouble on his own, too.
The fire in Eliana’s eyes was the first thing that had piqued Maurice’s interest today, and he stared back at her with as much intensity as she did.
The two of them were looking at each other as if no one else was around.
Harriet, who was standing next to them, was so angry that she wished she could reach out and stop their eye contact at once.
Instead, she inhaled sharply and suggested, “Eliana, since we’re all here at the racetrack, would you like to join us and ride a horse too?”
“Sorry, I don’t know how to ride.”
In order to avoid trouble, Eliana chose to lie decisively.
“Really? What a pity.” Harriet glanced at Kelvin with a smile, and an inexplicable flicker crossed her eyes. “Actually, my uncle is really good at horse riding. How about we let him teach you?”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
But no one was as stunned as Eliana was.
Why was Harriet suddenly being nice to her?
Chapter 367
No, thanks.” Maurice waved his hand in dismissal. “She is very stupid. It would be pointless to teach her. Besides, I don’t want to bother you, Mr. Stone.”
“Well, it will be my honor to teach Miss Pierce if she is willing to be my student.”
Kelvin wore a slightly devious smile.
This was the plan he had previously discussed with Harriet. Once he got their approval, he would quickly move into action.
It didn’t matter what methods Kelvin used. One goal was clearly embedded in his mind. By whatever means necessary, he was to find a way to separate Eliana from Maurice.
Upon hearing Kelvin’s insistence, Maurice’s eyes narrowed slightly. He stood silently in front of Eliana, still unconvinced.
“I know for a fact that Miss Pierce is a great designer. How could she be stupid? Maurice, tell me what is really bothering you. Don’t you trust me?”
Harriet chimed in, “Mr. Moran must be joking. How can Eliana be stupid? She is one of the brightest minds in the fashion industry. On the contrary, I should be the one you called stupid. I can’t even get off the horse properly. If you hadn’t caught me to prevent me from falling down just now, I surely would have been injured and in an embarrassing situation.”
Maurice couldn’t help but frown. He immediately sensed that something was wrong after hearing their words.
Why was Kelvin so eager to teach Eliana? What were his ulterior motives?
When Maurice was about to refuse again, Eliana suddenly uttered, “Okay, I agree! Please teach me.”
She didn’t know what was going on in Maurice’s mind. All she could think about was one thing.
Maurice had the guts to call her stupid!
How could she be stupid?
Eliana decided to show Maurice what a smart person she actually was. It was only a matter of time before she made him eat his words!
She was so infuriated that she bypassed Maurice’s authority and agreed to Kelvin’s request.
Seeing how things turned out, Kelvin couldn’t believe his luck. He didn’t expect that it would be so easy to trick Eliana.
Afraid that Eliana would back out, he immediately replied, “We have a deal! Since we have finally reached an agreement, Miss Pierce, you can go and get changed first. We will wait for you here.”
Glaring at Maurice defiantly, Eliana strode away.
She went to the female dressing room, changing her clothes while sulking over the situation.
Truthfully, Eliana regretted the moment she agreed. Her pride had gotten the best of her. She just didn’t want Maurice to look down upon her, so she accepted Kelvin’s offer to prove that she wasn’t stupid.
In her eyes, learning how to ride from Harriet’s uncle was equivalent to torture.
But she had no other choice. It was all Maurice’s fault! If he hadn’t insulted her in front of everyone, none of this would have happened!
Eliana kept cursing him in her heart. To her surprise, Maurice came in as soon as she raised her head.
“Hey! What are you doing here? Get out and leave me alone!”
He was inside the female dressing room!
How could Maurice invade her privacy?
This was unacceptable behavior. He was just like a pervert!
Wearing only a vest, Eliana immediately covered her breasts with both hands.
“Why are you screaming like this? Don’t act as if I haven’t seen every inch of your body before.”
Maurice walked straight into the dressing room without any expression on his face. He acted like he was at his own house.
Hearing his words, Eliana was left speechless. She couldn’t deny that what he had said was entirely true.
Before she could even react, Maurice walked up to her and trapped her in a corner.
“Stay away from me.” Eliana nervously gulped as she felt her back press up against the wall.
“Why did you agree to Harriet’s suggestion earlier?” Maurice asked in a low voice.
When he mentioned Harriet, Eliana felt her blood boil. She glared at him and snarled, “Forget about me! It’s none of your business! Why don’t you go and take care of your precious Harriet?”
What was going on here? Was she jealous?
Maurice felt amused upon seeing Eliana’s puckered mouth. Everything was suddenly clear now.
“Do you really want me to go to Harriet? You might regret it.”
Maurice bent over and leered at Eliana. He was so close that she could feel his warm breath.
Turning her head away in displeasure, Eliana tried her best to suppress the resentment in her heart. But her jealousy was too much to bear.
“Go and be with her. I don’t regret saying it at all!”
She was such a stubborn woman.
With an amused smile on his face, Maurice gently turned Eliana’s head to face him. This time, he got closer to her.
“Well, I won’t make fun of you anymore. You can certainly try to put on a brave face when you ride a horse later, but it’s no good if you get hurt. Let me tell you something. How about you don’t continue your lesson on how to ride a horse?”
When Eliana was entranced by the handsome face in front of her, her heart beat faster. But she immediately regained her senses upon hearing his suggestion.
It was obvious that Maurice thought so poorly of her!
“Nothing you say can change my mind! Get out this instant! I need to change my clothes!”
Eliana pushed Maurice away and hurriedly put on the coat.
Despite his constant objection, she ultimately decided to ride the horse today!
As she hastily swung the coat over her shoulders, something fell out of the coat’s pocket by accident.
Upon closer inspection, Eliana realized that it was a small blue box of condoms.
She was immediately taken aback.
What in the world was happening?
Who could have planted the box of condoms in her clothes?
Chapter 368
Eliana squatted down to pick up the box of condoms without hesitation, intending to directly destroy it.
But unfortunately, she was a little slower. Maurice had already picked up the box before she could do it.
“You… What are you going to do?”
Holding the box in his hand, Maurice stared at Eliana teasingly.
His question made Eliana’s face flush. She was rendered speechless for a long time.
Nana must have secretly put the box in her pocket last night.
She suddenly didn’t know what to do.
Eliana wanted to clear up the misunderstanding, but she didn’t know how to explain it.
In the end, she stammered, “I… Well… I prepared it, just in case. I’m already a mother of two. We have to take protective measures, right?”
What was she talking about?
Eliana looked calm on the surface, but her heart actually felt very uneasy.
As soon as she said this, Maurice’s face darkened at once.
He was reminded of her children.
He almost forgot that she had given birth to two children of another man.
Maurice felt like his heart was fiercely stung.
Even though Eliana was now in his hands, the two children always reminded him that she had a closer relationship with another man. She loved that man so much that she even gave birth to his children.
What if…
A crazy idea came to his mind.
Maurice leaned closer to Eliana’s face and whispered in her ear, “Maybe… I should also let you give birth to my child.”
His warm breath made her hair stand on end.
And his words scared her out of her wits.
“Maurice… You can’t… Hmm…”
The rest of her words were blocked when Maurice suddenly kissed her lips.
The kiss was aggressive, with surging jealousy. And Eliana was not even allowed to refuse in the slightest bit.
He kissed her soft lips hard flirtatiously. His tongue pried open her teeth and raged in her sweet mouth.
Eliana was so scared that she struggled desperately.
But Maurice’s kiss became more and more passionate, and his hands began to fondle her.
She got so anxious that she bit his lower lip hard.
The next moment, the taste of blood spread in her mouth.
“Hmm…” he groaned in pain and stopped kissing her.
As soon as her lips were freed, Eliana shouted angrily, “Maurice, are you crazy?”
Blue veins bulged on Maurice’s forehead, and he looked fierce and dissatisfied.
“I’m crazy? Yes, and I’ll show you what it’s like to be crazy.”
The taste of blood and the tingling sensation in his mouth drove Maurice crazy and made him brutish. All he wanted now was to conquer the disobedient woman in front of him.
At this moment, Kelvin’s voice came through from the outside of the dressing room. “Miss Pierce, have you changed your clothes?”
Eliana’s eyes lit up. She was about to answer him.
However, Maurice kissed her again.
This time, she didn’t even have the strength to resist.
Eliana accepted her fate, so she gave up resisting and stopped begging for mercy. Her lips were kissed by Maurice possessively, and it made her feel so dizzy. Gradually, she was led by him into kissing. She was immersed in the turbulent vortex of desire, even forgetting where she was.
Kelvin was still waiting anxiously outside.
Eliana had been in the dressing room for so long. Why hadn’t she come out yet?
He knocked again. “Miss Pierce? Miss Pierce…”
He called her name several times, but there was still no answer.
Kelvin felt strange. Had Eliana already changed her clothes and gone out?
But when? He was just outside. Why didn’t he know?
Kelvin waited for a while more. When there was still no response from the inside, he thought Eliana had already gone out, so he also left quickly.
When Maurice heard that the footsteps outside gradually faded away, he finally let go of Eliana, who was almost suffocated.
Eliana took a deep breath to fill her lungs with fresh air. And it made her feel a lot better.
Her chest heaved violently; her hair was disheveled; and her eyes narrowed slightly. Her delicate face flushed, and her pale lips became rosy.
Maurice looked at her. She looked so attractive that his throat felt dry, and his desire was aroused again.
“Do you still want to shout? You can try it again,” Maurice said, sounding a little unsatisfied.
Eliana involuntarily shivered.
She looked at him and thought that Maurice was a wicked man.
“No, I won’t shout. And I will never shout again.”
Eliana was in low spirits, feeling like she had lost all her strength.
Maurice chuckled lightly, picked up the riding habit next to him, and helped her carefully put it on.
His hand touched her sensitive waist accidentally or intentionally, and it made her tremble all over. Her face had gotten redder.
Eliana subconsciously dodged, but Maurice held her even tighter.
After a while, she finally finished changing her clothes.
Her face was still crimson.
It was only then that Maurice let go of Eliana. Then he whispered, “Be careful with everything. I’m always here.”
Chapter 369
After Maurice left, Eliana took some time to calm down and get prepared. Putting on a straight face, she walked out of the dressing room as if nothing had happened.
In a few minutes, she finally returned to the racetrack.
“Sorry to keep you waiting!” Eliana exclaimed from a short distance.
Kelvin was already getting impatient and glanced at his wristwatch to check the time. When he turned around, he saw Eliana slowly walking toward him.
She was wearing a simple red riding habit. The tight fit outlined her curves, making her look even more appealing. Tying her hair in a ponytail, the new hairstyle further revealed her delicate facial features. Her black hair shook slightly behind her back with every step.
She looked effortlessly beautiful and bubbly. Her breathtaking presence made it hard not to stare.
Kelvin was immediately smitten with this enchanting woman.
Her exquisite beauty was unlike any other!
No wonder Maurice was so obsessed with her. Every man would surely succumb to this woman’s charm.
Eliana didn’t have a clue that Kelvin was now harboring a crush on her, so she walked up to him and acted casually.
After a few minutes, Maurice rejoined the group and positioned himself right across from Eliana.
Still unsettled by their earlier confrontation, Eliana stared blankly at the ground and avoided eye contact while Maurice looked casually at their surroundings.
Judging from their awkward behavior, Harriet keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Maurice had told them previously that he would just go to the bathroom. But he was gone for quite some time. It was highly unusual.
With this in mind, Harriet looked at Maurice from the corner of her eye and saw something strange.
Why was there a small wound on one end of his lip? Wait a minute. It seemed as if he had just been bitten by someone!
Harriet was shocked and asked in surprise, “Mr. Moran, what happened to your mouth?”
Hearing this, Maurice touched the wound at the corner of his mouth. He shot a knowing glance at a guilty-looking Eliana, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He replied calmly, “Nothing. I hurt myself by accident earlier.”
“Is that so? Please be more careful next time, Mr. Moran.”
Unbeknownst to the couple, Harriet had noticed him looking at Eliana.
She smiled warmly, but her hands were clenched into fists. With jealousy building up in her chest, she slightly lowered her head to hide the resentment in her eyes.
Whatever truly happened, the bite mark on Maurice’s lip obviously had something to do with Eliana.
Sensing that the tension was rapidly rising amongst them, Kelvin became a little anxious. It was time for him to step in and diffuse the situation.
“Miss Pierce, since you’re now in the proper attire, we can begin our lesson. Come with me, and let’s pick a horse for you.”
Eliana wanted to get away from Maurice as soon as possible, so she nodded immediately.
“Okay, Mr. Stone. I’m ready.”
She ignored Maurice’s gloomy eyes and followed Kelvin to the stable.
“Miss Pierce, look at this horse. It has beautiful, soft hair, and its body is strong. It’s a direct descendant of a champion racehorse. Feel free to touch it with your hand.”
Kelvin led Eliana to a handsome black horse and beckoned her to pet it.
After introducing the horse to her, Kelvin stared at Eliana’s soft hand, attempting to hold it to touch the horse.
Seeing that Kelvin was too close to her, Eliana stepped aside and evaded his touch.
“You are right, Mr. Stone. What an excellent pick!”
As she combed the black horse’s shiny fur with her fingers, Eliana’s eyes were full of excitement and appreciation.
“Of course, the cooperation between the Moran Group and Stone family is a big deal in the business field. As you can see, the racetrack has presented the best horse here. Then other people should do something as well. Don’t you think so, Miss Pierce?”
Once he finished speaking, he walked up behind her and leaned forward to get close to her.
When she realized what was happening, Eliana stepped away immediately and dodged his advances once again.
As expected, this lustful man had bad intentions.
“How can you be wrong, Mr. Stone. I respect you because you are an elder,” Eliana said with a fake smile, trying her best to remain civil.
Chapter 370
After being avoided twice, Kelvin was already a little angry. But he still said patiently, “Miss Pierce, are you saying I’m old? Don’t worry, I have no generation gap with you young people mentally. Why don’t you get to know me first?”
Eliana just smiled without saying a word. Then she turned her head and looked at the horses.
Kelvin’s eyes darkened at once.
He thought that this woman was really a hard nut to crack!
After a while, Eliana finally chose a horse.
“Miss Pierce, are you sure you want this one?” Kelvin asked.
He looked at the brown mare, frowning disapprovingly.
“Yes, this is what I want,” Eliana confirmed.
“Think it over first. This mare has just given birth, and it’s weaker than other horses. Moreover, its owner said it has a fiery temperament. You are just a beginner. I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to tame it.”
Kelvin tried his best to persuade Eliana to change a horse. However, she remained firm with her decision.
In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.
Since Eliana had chosen a horse, she got on its back quickly. Kelvin wanted to help her to have some physical contact with her. But since she had gotten on the mare’s back herself, what else could he do?
“Miss Pierce, just sit tight. I will lead the horse for you,” he offered as he walked over to her confidently.
But when he was about to hold the rope, the horse unexpectedly lost its temper. It shook off his hand and almost kicked him.
Kelvin was so frightened that he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Then he heard a burst of laughter around him.
Kelvin made a fool of himself in front of the crowd. He was so embarrassed that he quickly got up from the ground. His face turned scarlet and then white.
Still sitting on the mare’s back, Eliana laughed out loud.
She patted the mare’s neck as if praising it and thought that it did a good job.
But in the eyes of the outsiders, Eliana and Kelvin seemed to be getting along very well.
Of course, Harriet also noticed this. So she deliberately pointed at them in front of Maurice.
“Mr. Moran, look at them. Aren’t they a perfect match?”
Maurice turned to look in the direction where Harriet was pointing. Then he saw Eliana riding on a horse with a bright smile, and next to her was the ugly older man Kelvin.
Maurice’s face darkened, and displeasure filled his heart.
How could Eliana look so happy with others?
But when she was with him, he had never seen her this happy.
Harriet continued with a sigh, “My uncle’s wife died many years ago. But since then, he never had any woman in his life. Now that he seems to get along well with Eliana, I hope they can really be together. I want her to be a part of our family too.”
When Maurice heard this, his brows furrowed.
Kelvin and Eliana together? What was Harriet talking about?
Eliana didn’t know that Harriet and Maurice had been talking about her. She was looking at Kelvin, wondering how he was going to handle the embarrassing situation.
It was Kelvin’s first time being humiliated in front of many people. Anger rose in his heart, and all he wanted to do was to take revenge on the horse.
“You bitch!” he cursed.
Then he picked up the whip hanging by the side, stepped forward angrily, and whipped the mare hard.
The mare neighed in pain and galloped in a frenzy.
“Ahhh!” Eliana screamed in fright.
She subconsciously tightened the reins, trying to control the frightened mare. But her effort was in vain.
The mare galloped with Eliana on her back.
Everyone was shocked by this. And Kelvin slumped to the ground again in fright.
Maurice, who had been watching them, also noticed what was going on.
He was worried that Eliana might get hurt.
So he immediately stood up and shouted at the dumbfounded staff, “What are you just standing there? Do something. Save her!”
The staff finally came back to his senses and said anxiously, “Mr. Moran, that mare is wild. It has caused several accidents so far. We have to sedate her every time. Please wait a moment. We have already called someone.”
