Ch. 411..415: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 411-415

Chapter 411

Harriet gritted her teeth in anger. She was about to snap when Earle suddenly spoke up.

“That’s enough, Miss Stone! Come with me,” Earle said coldly.

“But, Mr. Moran…”

Harriet didn’t want to pass up this great opportunity. She was certain that if she opened that door now, she would catch that bitch Eliana.

However, no matter how great her desire to humiliate Eliana was, she dared not disobey Earle. She had no choice but to follow him obediently downstairs.

Before leaving, however, Earle took a look at the closed door. Then he turned and walked away.

It wasn’t until the two were out of sight that Corbin finally relaxed.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and heaved a long sigh of relief.

He was proud of himself because he had done his best to help his boss.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Eliana listened attentively to the voices outside. She was so nervous that she dared not breathe. It wasn’t until she heard the footsteps recede that she finally relaxed.

“They are finally gone…” she mumbled.

She suddenly pushed Maurice and said, “Get me out of here now! They might come back again!”

However, Maurice seemed unfazed. Holding her in his arms, he said indifferently, “You don’t have to leave. I will solve this matter as soon as possible.”

“You’ll solve this? How? It’s obvious that your grandfather wants you to marry Harriet. The marriage is a done deal. You should really let me go now,” Eliana blurted out all her thoughts with a bitter smile.

Although she enjoyed the warmth of Maurice’s arms, she felt cold inside. The thing was, although they were very close at the moment, she felt that they were slowly drifting apart.

“Maurice, you must admit that one day you will have to let me go and marry another woman. Even if that woman is not Harriet, she will be the daughter of another rich family. You and I are really not from the same world.”

Maurice didn’t say anything for a moment and just tightened his embrace around Eliana’s waist.

As Eliana felt short of breath, he pinched her chin and raised her head, forcing her to look at him.

“Listen to me, Eliana. I will say this only once. I will not marry Harriet or any woman my grandfather chooses for me.”

Maurice’s tone was unprecedentedly serious. Eliana looked deep into his eyes and saw determination there that gave her chills.

She could not deny the deep joy she felt on hearing Maurice’s words.

However, what Maurice said next made her heart sink again.

“I just don’t like the idea of marriage. I don’t plan to get married for the time being,” Maurice said expressionlessly.

At this moment he thought of his parents. They loved each other so much. Sadly, it turned out that marriage wasn’t just about two people. Marriage was also the union of two families. Unfortunately, the disagreements between the families of his father and mother ended up getting the better of their marriage and destroyed their happiness. His parents eventually died in an accident at a young age.

The tragedy of his parents’ marriage destroyed the image of marriage in Maurice’s mind. Certainly, he wasn’t going to marry anyone just for the sake of interests.

On hearing what Maurice said, Eliana’s face turned pale and she felt her fists clench.

Since she didn’t know what he had been through and why he wasn’t so keen on getting married, she had her own understanding of his words.

She thought she was nothing more to him than a toy he could play with when he felt like it. Even if he wouldn’t marry any woman from a wealthy family, he surely wouldn’t marry her.

Thinking of this, she was glad she didn’t tell him about the children, or things would be even more complicated.

The two stayed in each other’s arms for a long time, but they had very different thoughts. The room was soon very quiet.

After a while, Maurice finally let go of Eliana. He looked at her seriously and said, “You stay here. I need to go out now.”

He couldn’t stay here for too long, or it would arouse Earle’s suspicion.

After saying that, Maurice left. Watching him leave, Eliana couldn’t help but sigh.

Maurice went straight downstairs.

Earle and Harriet were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Maurice straightened his clothes and walked over casually.

As soon as Maurice entered the living room, Harriet asked, “Maurice, would you like some coffee?”

Sitting next to Earle, she was leisurely sipping a cup of coffee.

Maurice glanced at Earle and asked, “Grandpa, won’t you have some coffee? I specially hired this barista for you.”

Earle looked at the coffee on the table in disgust and said, “I don’t like coffee. It’s too light in favor.”

After saying that, he took out a bottle of vodka from the wine cabinet and poured some into his coffee.

“This suits me better.”

Chapter 412

Seeing what Earle had just done, Harriet immediately decided to jump at the chance to flatter him. “Amazing, Mr. Moran. I never thought of adding alcohol to my coffee. I’ll definitely recommend it to my family when I get home.”

“You should indeed ask them to have a try. The only thing that sucks is the vodka, which isn’t the best,” Earle said, taking a sip of his alcoholic coffee with delight.

“Speaking of liquors, Mr. Moran, I remember Maurice’s uncle’s wine factory is full of good wine. I’ve been here a long time, but I haven’t met him.”

Harriet’s words suddenly reminded Earle of something. The old man frowned and turned to rebuke Maurice.

“You bastard! What’s going on between you and Gerald? I heard you reported him to the police! He is your uncle, damn it! It’s the whole family you’ve humiliated!”

Earle slammed his cane on the floor as he spoke. He seemed very angry and agitated.

“I’m sorry you take it that way, Grandpa, but what Uncle Gerard did is illegal. I couldn’t sit idly by and watch him continue his illegal activities. It wasn’t just him he was putting at risk, but the whole Moran Group as well!”

“Stop talking nonsense, you bastard! It was just a small matter. You didn’t need to involve the police. We are a united family, damn it! If the Moran family is where it is today, it is because we have always supported each other. Can you understand this?”

Earle was really beside himself and he refused to listen to Maurice’s explanations.

“A small matter?” Maurice sneered.

He guessed that his uncle hadn’t told his grandfather the truth at all.

If Earle had known Gerard was risking human lives for the resort, he would definitely have been furious.

So there was no doubt that Gerald had lied to Earle. Seeing that his grandfather was not in a good mood now, Maurice didn’t want to tell him the truth right away and risk breaking his heart.

Maurice therefore decided to keep silent.

Earle and Maurice had the same temperament. They were both determined and stubborn men who would never back down when they had made up their minds.

As the situation was about to get out of hand, Harriet saw fit to get them to calm down.

“Mr. Moran, please, calm down. Maurice, you should apologize to your grandpa. You have to admit that you made a mistake. Your uncle may have acted without thinking about the consequences, but you can’t deny that he always tried to act in the best interests of the Moran Group.”

In fact, Harriet had noticed that Earle seemed to particularly care about Gerard, so she decided to speak well of Gerard in order to ingratiate herself with Earle.

Sure enough, Harriet’s words made Earle calm down a lot.

“Maurice, did you hear what Miss Stone said? Such a woman is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Moran family. You’d better marry her as soon as possible.”

“Mr. Moran…”

Hearing what Earle said, Harriet lowered her head, pretending to be shy.

Maurice looked at the two people sitting on the sofa and suddenly said, “Miss Stone, I too would be happy to have you join the Moran family. Welcome.”

“Maurice, are… are you serious?” Harriet asked, her eyes widening in shock and her heart beating fast.

Was her dream coming true?

Maurice smiled impishly and uttered, “Of course I’m serious. Uncle Gerald lost his wife many years ago. Since you seem to like him so much, maybe you can ask him to marry you.”

Harriet’s face changed drastically upon hearing that. When she realized that Maurice was making fun of her, she felt extremely embarrassed and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Maurice, even if you don’t like me, you don’t have to humiliate me like this!” Harriet complained pitifully.

“You bastard! Would you stop talking nonsense?”

Earle was furious. He raised his cane to hit Maurice.

However, as soon as he raised the cane, his body suddenly stiffened.

His chest heaved violently and his breathing quickened. He quickly lowered his arm and covered his chest with his hand.

Harriet rushed over to Earle, looking seriously worried. “Are you okay, Mr. Moran?”

Then she looked up at Maurice and screamed, “Maurice, come here! Your grandpa must be having a relapse. Call the doctor!”

However, Maurice didn’t move a muscle. He sat there calmly and didn’t even raise an eyelash.

“Come on, Grandpa. You are too old for this. You don’t need to act anymore!”

Chapter 413

“Maurice, how can you say such a thing? You know very well that your grandfather has heart problems, and you just made him angry. He must be having a heart attack.”

Seeing how weak Earle looked, Harriet was very nervous.

However, Maurice was always unfazed. He said calmly to Earle, “I asked Grandma and she told me your heart bypass surgery was very successful. The doctor assured us that you can live healthily for a long time.”

Harriet was speechless.

As for Earle, he didn’t expect his grandson could see through his trick. The old man felt quiet embarrassed.

He finally stood up and coughed slightly. “You brat, what do you know? It was a high-risk surgery!” Earle sad with a frown.

The operation was indeed high-risk, but since it was a success, there was no need to worry about his heart anymore.

Earle couldn’t help feeling a little resentful of his wife. Why did she tell Maurice everything?

Now that he had embarrassed himself like this, how would his grandson ever respect him again?

Meanwhile, Eliana was still hiding in the room all this time. Corbin arranged for someone to bring her dinner to the room.

After dinner, Eliana had nothing to do, so she went to bed.

However, there were so many things in her mind, which caused her to stay awake on the bed for a long time.

As she tossed and turned in her bed, she suddenly heard someone open the door and walk into the room.

Eliana didn’t need to look to know who it was. There was only one person who could come here in the middle of the night.

It was definitely Maurice.

She didn’t want to see him, so she turned over with her back to him.

A few seconds later, she felt him lie down next to her on the bed.

Then he put his strong arms around her waist and hugged her tightly from behind.

“How can you come here? Aren’t you afraid your grandfather will catch us?” Eliana said sarcastically.

Maurice said nothing and just hugged her tightly. The sweet perfume that emanated from her intoxicated him and gave him an incredible feeling of peace.

Maurice was certain that Eliana was the only woman who could make him happy.

When he was with her, no matter what was going on in his mind, he would quickly calm down. He had never felt like this with another woman before.

He didn’t feel such a connection with anyone else, not even Earle, and yet Earle had raised him. Maurice would feel exhausted very quickly when he stayed with Earle alone.

After a short while, Maurice whispered, “Shh, be quiet. I just had a quarrel with my grandpa…”

It was rare for Maurice to show himself vulnerable and Eliana immediately felt sorry for him.

She finally turned and looked at him. In the dim moonlight, she could see the fatigue on his face.

She had never seen him so helpless.

Her heart sank and she felt genuinely sorry for him. Unconsciously, she reached out and gently stroked his face.

“Did he scold you again?” she asked softly.

Maurice ignored her question and suddenly said, “Eliana, let’s run away. Let’s run away from all these hassles that threaten our happiness and start all over again, just you and me.”

Maurice held her hand tightly and looked at her with sincerity in his eyes.

“I…”

Eliana hesitated. In fact, a life such as Maurice presented it, was very tempting and she wanted to say ‘yes’.

But deep in her heart, there was a voice that kept reminding her of the harsh reality.

It was impossible.

She had two children to raise, and she had to investigate the truth behind the bankruptcy of the Pierce Group and the death of her parents.

She couldn’t just drop everything and run away with him.

Before Eliana could say something, there was a knock on the door.

Who could it be?

Eliana’s body froze. She was so scared. She quickly hid under the duvet.

“Maurice, are you in there? Maurice?”

It was Harriet!

Why was she here?

Did Harriet find that she was here?

Eliana trembled with fear and hugged Maurice tightly. She was afraid that he would decide to open the door.

“Maurice, open the door! I’m your future wife. You must open the door for me!”

Hearing what Harriet was saying, Eliana felt something was wrong.

Harriet always pretended to be shy and reserved in front of Maurice. Why did she suddenly reveal her true colors?

Was she drunk?

Chapter 414

Eliana had guessed right. In fact, what Maurice had said to Harriet earlier in the day had hurt her self- esteem. So, when at night, Harriet decided to drink to console herself and she drank so much that she became drunk. She knocked on the door of the wrong room.

Harriet didn’t realize her mistake and kept knocking on the door for a long time. She had no intention of leaving. As for Eliana, she couldn’t go out or hide. She was very nervous.

Harriet’s presence made it impossible for Eliana and Maurice to sleep.

Maurice was amused by Eliana’s nervous expression and couldn’t help teasing her.

He slipped his hand under her pajamas. It was so unexpected. Eliana quivered and glared at him.

Maurice was not at all embarrassed by the look she gave him. He continued to feel under her pajamas until he felt her breasts. He pinched them gently.

“Hmm…”

Eliana couldn’t help moaning at his touch. Luckily for her, she covered her mouth in time.

Maurice was encouraged by her moans and he continued to touch his erogenous spots. Eliana tried hard not to moan.

With an impish smile, Maurice slipped his other hand into her panties. He wanted to see for how long she could stop herself from moaning.

While Eliana and Maurice were having fun in bed, Harriet continued to talk nonsense outside. The situation was so exciting for Maurice and Eliana.

For a moment, Eliana was both nervous thinking about Harriet outside the door, and also turned on by Maurice’s touch.

After a while, another voice came from outside.

“Miss Stone, what are you doing here?”

“I’m here for Maurice,” Harriet replied, while still knocking on the door.

“Miss Stone, Mr. Moran isn’t staying in this room. This room is vacant,” the maid explained patiently.

“Really?” Harriet asked in confusion. She was really drunk.

Hearing what the maid said, Harriet finally decided to leave.

Hearing the footsteps outside the door receding, Eliana heaved a long sigh of relief.

She calmed down and could finally get back at him. She stared at Maurice fiercely and bit him on the shoulder.

It was her way of getting revenge on him. She didn’t stop until she tasted blood.

“Do you still think we can both run away? I mean, you heard Harriet just now. She’s completely obsessed with you. If I run away with you, women like her will try to skin me alive.”

Maurice looked at her with a smile and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

“You know, you should actually be proud. Although there are so many women pursuing me, you are the only one who’s ever had me.”

Hearing his sweet words, Eliana blushed. He was really honey-tongued.

“Maybe, but who knows what will happen in the future? You might fall in love with someone else,” she said shyly.

Maurice chuckled. “Well, let me prove my love to you right here.”

“What do you want to… Hmm…”

Maurice pressed Eliana under him and kissed her passionately.

He sucked and tweaked her tongue, kissing her until she was completely out of breath. Then he turned to kiss her neck, leaving a string of hickeys there.

When he saw her at that banquet, he wanted her so much. However, he hadn’t had the opportunity to have her until now. So he fully intended to satisfy his craving for her now.

“Hmmm… Slow down…” Eliana moaned

She felt like her whole body was on fire. Maurice’s kisses and caresses had awakened all her passion and deepest desires.

“Call my name,” Maurice ordered, kissing her on the shoulder.

“Mau… Maurice…”

Excitement and passion made Eliana call out Maurice’s name over and over until she was out of breath.

Eliana couldn’t take it anymore and her whole body was exhausted now. Before she fell asleep, she glanced at Maurice, who was still riding her.

What a beast!

She now regretted having doubted his love for her! Did he really need to prove it so hard to her?

Chapter 415

After a crazy night, Eliana woke up the next day, feeling sore all over her body. It was already noon.

And she was not surprised that Maurice wasn’t there anymore.

She decided to lie on the bed for a while to recover the vital energy that was drained last night.

After a while, a maid came in.

Eliana’s eyes lit up upon seeing the maid. She immediately asked, “Where is Maurice?”

“Miss Pierce, Mr. Moran is having lunch with his grandfather and Miss Stone downstairs.”

Eliana felt annoyed upon hearing this. She definitely couldn’t go out now.

Feeling disheartened, she lay back on the bed and covered herself with the quilt again. “Oh, that’s all right. You can go out now.”

But instead of going out, the maid told her, “Miss Pierce, Mr. Moran has ordered you to immediately go downstairs after you wash up.”

“What? What did you say?” Eliana instantly sprang up from the bed and stared at the maid in astonishment. “Maurice wants me to go downstairs in this situation? Is he crazy?”

The maid replied calmly, “Yes, Miss Pierce. He wants you to go downstairs.”

Eliana was stunned for a while. She remembered what Maurice said yesterday, and a bad feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

Maurice was going to do something big.

But the maid didn’t leave, so Eliana had no choice but to reluctantly wash up and dawdled downstairs.

As expected, she bumped into Earle and Harriet in the living room.

The look on Harriet’s face dramatically changed. She exclaimed, “Eliana?”

Earle also looked at Eliana and asked in a very bad tone, “What are you doing here?”

Eliana stood rooted to the spot awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Could she tell them that Maurice had kidnapped her?

“I was the one who brought her here,” Maurice suddenly said.

He walked over to her and stood beside her.

“Maurice, why did you bring her here? How many times have I warned you not to get close to this woman? Are you deliberately turning a deaf ear to me? Servants, come here! Drive this woman out of the Moran family’s house! I don’t want to see her.”

Earle’s bad temper immediately ignited, and he ordered to kick Eliana out of the house.

But before the servants could make a move, a voice rang out behind them.

“Who are you driving away?”

Everyone turned their heads and saw it was Nancy standing at the door.

At the sight of the familiar figure, Eliana’s tense body instantly relaxed.

When she glanced at Maurice, who had been calm all this while, she suddenly realized something.

No wonder Maurice called her downstairs so confidently. It turned out that he had already thought of a way out. He invited Nancy to be his savior.

Sure enough, Earle, who was very domineering just now, immediately contained his anger upon seeing Nancy.

“My dear, what are you doing here?”

Earle’s imposing manner suddenly shrank back in front of his wife.

Nancy looked at Earle indifferently. “The house is so lively today. How can I not join in the fun? Am I not welcome here?”

“Mrs. Moran, you must be kidding. Of course, we are looking forward to your arrival,” Harriet said enthusiastically.

She smiled warmly and stepped forward to greet Nancy.

But Nancy just walked past her and went straight to Eliana and held Eliana’s hand intimately.

“Eliana, long time no see. How have you been? Look at you. You have lost a lot of weight. How did that brat Maurice take care of you? Have you been so busy with your work recently that you have no time to visit me?”

“Mrs. Moran, I’m doing well. But many things have happened recently, and I haven’t found a chance to visit you.”

As she spoke, a sincere smile appeared on Eliana’s face.

“Alright. Let’s not talk about it anymore. You haven’t eaten yet, right? Sit down. Let’s eat together,” Nancy said with a happy smile and was about to sit with Eliana.

“Mrs. Moran…”

Eliana wanted to say something, but she hesitated.

Nancy understood and gently patted the back of Eliana’s hand.

Her gaze swept the embarrassed Earle and sullen Harriet. Then she announced in a domineering manner, “Eliana, don’t worry. Since I am here, I want to see who dare to drive you out.”
