Ch. 456..460: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 456-460

Chapter 456

“Nana, what are you thinking?” Eliana didn’t know what to say. “Because of some things in the past, Earle has misunderstood me. He dislikes me. Besides, he doesn’t know that I have children. It will be more complicated if he knows.”

“Then you are really toast.”

Upon hearing Eliana’s words, Nana also understood the seriousness of the matter. And now the two of them were worrying about it.

Aileen and Adrian had no idea what the adults were worried about. As soon as they heard the knock on the door, they ran out of the room.

Aileen looked up at Eliana expectantly. “Mommy, I just heard someone talking. Is it Silas?”

At this moment, Silas was anxiously waiting outside the door. He finally summoned up the courage to come here today. But after knocking for a long time, he got no response from the inside.

He lowered his head in disappointment. It seemed that Eliana still hadn’t forgiven him yet.

Suddenly, Earle held his hand.

“Don’t be afraid. I will help you win your friends back.”

This morning, Earle was very distressed when he saw that Silas was very sad. The little boy didn’t even want to go to school.

So he took Silas directly to the door of the twins’ home.

Aside from helping Silas, Earle actually wanted to see the two lovely children again.

Inside the apartment, Eliana knew that hanging back like this was not a solution. She couldn’t let Earle stand outside all the time.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. She grabbed Nana’s hand and said, “Nana, I just came up with a brilliant idea. I’ll hide first, and then you open the door. Pretend that you are Adrian and Aileen’s mother. Help me get through this first.”

“You want me to pretend to be you?” As she asked, Nana’s eyes lit up.

Eliana nodded. “That’s the only way now. But you must be careful not to give yourself away.”

“Okay, I promise to get this done,” Nana readily agreed.

Eliana immediately explained the situation to Adrian and Aileen and quickly hid in the bathroom.

“Ahem!” Nana cleared her throat. She straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and opened the door. “Hello!”

“Nana!” Silas shouted excitedly.

“Silas, you’re here. Please come in.”

Nana ushered the three into the apartment.

Nana was the only adult in the living room, so Earle naturally thought that she was Adrian and Aileen’s mother. He said, “You must be the mother of Aileen and Adrian. You look so young. You have raised Adrian and Aileen well.”

“Thank you, Mister. Are you Silas’ great-grandfather? My name is Nana Marlin. I’m the mother of Aileen and Adrian.”

Nana began her classy performance.

Earle sat on the sofa and explained his purpose unhurriedly.

“I came here today to explain what had happened the day before yesterday. That day, I suffered a relapse. And the three children sent me to the hospital. It was so urgent that they didn’t have the time to inform you. I hope you don’t blame Silas.”

Nana smiled awkwardly and said, “Of course, I don’t mind. This matter is between the children. They can solve it by themselves.”

Earle nodded in agreement.

Silas had been restless since he entered the apartment. He was afraid that Aileen and Adrian would blame him, so he didn’t dare to approach and greet them.

In the end, Aileen and Adrian took the initiative to step forward and hold his hands.

“Silas, Adrian said you were sick yesterday. How are you now? Are you feeling better?”

“I’m fine,” Silas answered with a flushed face.

Aileen patted her chest exaggeratedly and breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good! You scared me to death. It feels terrible to be sick.”

Silas thought of Aileen’s allergy, and he felt sad again.

“Aileen, I’m sorry. If I didn’t take you out, you wouldn’t get sick.”

“Silas, you didn’t know I was allergic to peaches. So, don’t blame yourself. It wasn’t your fault. Besides, I’m fine now.”

Aileen firmly stated that she had recovered.

“Yes, Silas. What happened to Aileen has nothing to do with you,” Adrian also said to comfort Silas.

After the problem was resolved, the three children played happily again.

Earle watched this scene, feeling relieved. Nana handed him a cup of tea.

“Please have some tea first.”

Earle took the teacup and glanced at the other teacups on the table. There were four commonly used teacups neatly placed. It could be seen at first glance that they were for parents and children of a family of four.

So he asked casually, “Is the children’s father also at home? Why haven’t I seen him come out?”

Nana was stunned for a moment. How should she get around with this one this time?

Suddenly, an idea came to her. She shouted towards the bathroom, “Honey, haven’t you finished taking a shower yet?”

Chapter 457

Eliana, who was hiding in the bathroom, heard Nana’s shout. She quickly replied, disguising her voice, “Wait a moment. Entertain the guests first.”

Nana turned to Earle and explained, “I’m really sorry. My husband likes taking showers, and he usually spends a long time in the bathroom.”

Earle frowned. He wondered why her husband’s voice sounded so strange.

It was his first time hearing a man with such a weird voice, but he didn’t think too much.

Instead, he said, “Can you let me take the three children to school today? Give me a chance to make up for what had happened the day before yesterday.”

After saying this, Earle waved at his assistant.

The assistant immediately understood what Earle meant. He took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Nana.

“This is a small gift from our chairman as an expression of his goodwill. I hope you will accept it.”

Nana immediately became unhappy. Wasn’t it like she was selling the children for money?

She said generously, “It’s not a big deal. Why do you have to give me money? Mr. Moran, if you really want to, you can take the three children to school together.”

“Yay!” the three children cheered in unison.

Eliana, who was leaning against the bathroom door, heard Nana and Earle’s conversation. Her brows furrowed. What was Nana doing? Why did she let Earle take Adrian and Aileen away so easily?

Silas, on the other hand, kept glancing at the bathroom door from time to time since he heard someone speak inside.

He knew that Eliana was there, and he had been waiting for her to come out, so he could apologize to her again.

Earle noticed Silas’ strange behavior, so he asked, “Silas, what’s wrong with you? Is there any problem?”

Silas immediately retracted his gaze and replied calmly, “It’s nothing.”

Since Eliana hid in the bathroom, she must have her own reason. Although he didn’t understand why, Silas wouldn’t expose it.

“Okay, let’s go then.”

Earle was not in the mood to ask more questions, so he quickly stood up and was about to leave.

However, Nana had guessed what was on Silas’ mind. She squatted down, opened her arms, and hugged him on behalf of Eliana. Then she gently touched his head.

“What happened that day was all just a misunderstanding. It was not your fault, and we’re not blaming you. Do you understand what I mean?”

Eliana didn’t blame him.

Silas felt that his nose twitched. He nodded heavily.

Although it was Nana who told him this, he knew that it was also what Eliana meant.

After comforting Silas, Nana turned around and pulled Aileen and Adrian in front of her. She earnestly instructed, “Children, listen carefully. Mr. Moran will drive you to the kindergarten today, so you must be

good. Don’t cause any trouble. You must abide by the agreement and go home on time, okay?”

“Okay!” Aileen and Adrian answered in unison.

Nana then saw them off, feeling relieved.

Earle took the three children downstairs. He held Silas’ and Aileen’s hands, while Aileen held Adrian’s hand.

Earle lowered his head and looked at the children on both sides. He was very happy at this moment. It was he who raised Maurice. But his stubborn grandson had never been this cute.

At this time, Eliana stood upstairs, watching Earle’s luxury motorcade drive the children away slowly. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Was a blood relationship really that magical?

Earle was a fierce man. But for Silas’ happiness, he pocketed his dignity and personally came to apologize. He was even surprisingly gentle and approachable in front of Aileen and Adrian.

Eliana was in a trance. At this moment, she thought of her father with a dreamy expression on her face.

If her father were still alive, he would also love Aileen and Adrian so much like this.

After all, this was a natural feeling between family members.

Chapter 458

The three children sat in the car with Earle. The luxurious motorcade set off again, heading for the kindergarten in a mighty manner.

As this tremendous motorcade drove on the road, the other cars all take evasive action, pushing Marina’s car behind them.

The driver suddenly stepped on the brakes, making Marina lean forward with Ivy. The child had her seat belt fastened, so it was not a big deal for her.

Marina, on the other hand, did not fasten her seat belt, so she directly hit the back of the front seat.

“Ahhh!” Ivy screamed in fright.

Marina covered her swollen forehead and cursed, “What the hell are you doing? Are you really a driver?”

The driver hurriedly turned his head and explained, “Mrs. Harrison, it’s not my fault. The cars ahead forced me to suddenly brake.”

“What did you say?” Marina looked out of the window angrily. “I want to see who is bold enough to block my car.”

When she got out of her car, she saw Adrian and Aileen got out of the Rolls-Royce.

At first sight, she immediately recognized them as Eliana’s children.

Burning with anger, Marina rushed over, intending to make trouble.

But then, Ivy got out of the car too. And when she saw Aileen and Adrian, she anxiously grabbed Marina’s hand.

“Grandma, don’t!” She shook her head anxiously. “Dad said that we can’t cause any trouble.”

“Ivy, you’re just a kid. You don’t know anything.”

Marina shook off Ivy’s hand vigorously and rushed to scold the two children.

“You two little bastards! Who gave you the courage to force my driver to stop my car just now? Where is your bitch mother? Tell her to get out of the car now!”

Earle followed the twins out. So when he saw a middle-aged woman who was like a shrew rushing forward to scold them, he immediately stood in front of the three children to protect them.

“And who are you? What do you think you’re doing?”

Marina didn’t know the old man who suddenly appeared. She was surprised that he even sent Eliana’s children to kindergarten.

She looked at Earle up and down suspiciously.

Seeing the old man’s luxury car, she thought that Eliana must have hooked up with another rich man again.

At the thought that Eliana was a mistress of an old man, Marina couldn’t help feeling complacent.

After all, Eliana’s misery was her happiness.

“Are you the new sugar daddy of that bitch? You’re so old, and only that shameless bitch can stand to sleep with you. She will really do everything just to live a good life. At your age, you can already be her grandfather, right? If you have a child with her, I don’t know what that child should call you.”

The more Marina said, the more excited she became. It was as if she had seen Eliana lying under the old man with her own eyes.

But who was Earle? Could he let a stupid woman just humiliate him like this?

“Catch this crazy, filthy woman!” he ordered.

His bodyguards immediately surrounded Marina.

“Hey, what are you going to do?”

It was only then that Marina realized something was wrong. But it was too late. Earle’s bodyguards caught her effortlessly.

“Let go of me, you bastards!” Marina’s face flushed as she struggled hard. But she still didn’t forget to threaten, “Do you know who I am? If you dare hurt me, I will make you suffer!”

One of the bodyguards sneered, “Open your eyes wide. Don’t you know who is standing in front of you? This man is Earle Moran, the chairman of Moran Group.”

“What? Earle Moran? No, that can’t be. How can he be Earle?”

Marina was dumbfounded, staring straight at Earle in disbelief.

Then her eyes moved to the cane in his hand.

It was not an ordinary walking stick. Its body was dark, and it had a domineering silver snake head on the top. The vivid snake head’s two eyes were dazzling rubies.

Everyone in the upper class knew that this silver snake head stick only belonged to one person. And that person was the head of the Moran family and the chairman of Moran Group, Earle Moran.

Finally, the image of the legendary business tycoon and the imposing old man in front of her gradually overlapped in her mind.

Marina was doomed.

This time, she met a pretty tough nut to crack.

Her face turned deathly pale, and her clothes were soaked in a cold sweat. Her body trembled involuntarily.

But she still wondered why such a big shot would be with Eliana’s children.

“Well… Mr. Moran… What’s your relationship with these three children?” Marina asked reluctantly despite being caught by the bodyguards.

At this moment, Silas stepped forward and said complacently, “He is my great-grandfather.”

“Great-grandfather? How can that be possible?”

Chapter 459

“Alright, children, get back in the car. We don’t need to waste our time talking to this crazy woman,” Earle said to the three children. Then he turned to his bodyguards and ordered, “Get rid of her as soon as possible!”

He waved his hand impatiently. This crazy woman had totally ruined his mood.

No one in this world had dared to speak wildly to him like this. He had to teach her a good lesson.

“No, wait!”

Now that Marina knew Earle’s identity, she knew she couldn’t escape anymore. With a pale face, she begged, “At least… Don’t let the child see.”

Earle was confused. What was this woman talking about? Who was the child she was referring to?

When Aileen, who had been hiding behind Earle, heard this, she reflexively looked at Marina’s car.

Sure enough, Ivy was there, looking at them timidly.

This bad woman seemed to be Ivy’s grandmother.

Ivy was her friend. If this woman was hurt, Ivy would be sad.

So Aileen couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and pull the hem of Earle’s clothes. “Mr. Moran, she is Ivy’s grandmother. Ivy is my good friend. She’s a good girl. Please don’t punish her grandmother in front of her.”

“Aileen, can you tell me why?” Earle asked in a gentle tone.

Aileen blinked her big and clear eyes. “Because Mommy once told me that the matters of adults shouldn’t affect the children. Just like Mommy got angry before, but Silas and I can still be good

friends.”

Earle thought that Aileen was really like a kind and innocent angel, just like Rosina.

Aileen reminded him of his granddaughter Rosina, who had said the same words to him as this angelic Aileen.

At this moment, Earle’s eyes became wet. He looked down at Adrian on the other side and asked, “Adrian, this woman just scolded you too. Do you agree with Aileen to let her go?”

Adrian looked at Marina, who was in a mess. Then he glanced at his innocent sister.

“Yes, I agree with Aileen.”

Although he hated the bad woman Marina, he was willing to protect Aileen’s kindness.

“Okay. You are all good kids.” Earle touched the twins’ heads with relief and then waved his hand. “Let her go.”

When the bodyguards heard this, they immediately let go of Marina.

Marina didn’t react for a while. She just fell to the ground in a daze.

She felt herself. Was she all right?

Earle looked at Marina condescendingly and warned, “For the sake of the children, I’ll let you go today. But remember to watch your language next time. Take your granddaughter to kindergarten honestly. Don’t try to play any tricks. Otherwise, I won’t show you mercy.”

“Yes… Yes…”

Marina nodded incessantly, grateful that she had escaped the disaster this time. She immediately got up, staggered back to her car, and took Ivy out.

Ivy had no idea what had just happened. She ran over to Aileen happily and greeted, “Good morning, Aileen. You were absent yesterday. I missed you so much!”

“Good morning, Ivy,” Aileen greeted her sweetly.

Adrian and Silas also approached them as if nothing had happened. Of course, they didn’t blame Ivy for what her grandmother did.

Without Marina making trouble, the four children entered kindergarten happily together.

Earle watched their receding backs. An idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

He wanted to live longer, so he could watch these lovely children grow up.

Earle stood at the gate of the kindergarten for a long time, reluctant to leave. So his assistant had no choice but to come forward and remind him, “It’s time for us to go back to the hospital.”

“Give me a minute.”

He reluctantly looked in the direction where the children left just now.

The assistant said, “We really can’t wait any longer. The hospital has just called to remind me.”

“Then I won’t go. It’s a good chance that I can go to the kindergarten and watch the children’s classes today. Anyway, I have spent a lot of money on this kindergarten.”

At this moment, Earle acted like a child.

The assistant looked at Earle helplessly. He was in a dilemma now. If he stopped Earle, Earle would vent his anger on him. But if he didn’t stop Earle, he might be punished by Maurice.

He really didn’t know what to do now.

 

Chapter 460

Since Earle was the one who took the children to kindergarten, Eliana went straight to the company. As soon as she entered the office, she saw Lucia and Lilian arguing.

There was a fierce fight between the two. Lucia, who was always shy and honest, flushed with anger.

Eliana was surprised to see Lucia like this. Lilian must have done something so terrible again that Lucia was as anxious as this.

So she approached Lucia and asked, “Lucia, what happened?”

“Miss Pierce, I’m glad that you’re here now.” Lucia insisted on calling her by her last name in front of others. “Something happened to our bracelet.”

“What happened to the bracelet?”

Eliana immediately stepped forward to have a look.

Lucia handed the design draft to her and said, “Look! The company said that they wanted to make a mass production of this bracelet you designed. But Lilian changed the design of your bracelet to a very ugly one.”

Eliana took the design draft and looked at it carefully. And she immediately found that the new design had indeed changed a lot from her original design. The whole bracelet had been changed into a mess. Even the colors were very inconsistent, completely losing its original beauty.

“How did it become like this? Lilian, are you out of your mind?”

“I’ve told her. It’s impossible to change it like this.”

Lucia couldn’t agree more. Even a newcomer like her could see that the bracelet had completely lost the essence of the original design. The effort of the creator was in vain.

Lilian sneered, “It’s useless for you to argue with me. Miss Stone has already approved this design. If you have the guts, go to the upper echelons of the company and complain.”

“But I didn’t approve of this design,” Eliana said coldly with an expressionless face. “I am the designer of the bracelet. You can’t modify my design without my consent.”

Lilian’s arrogance instantly waned. She had fought with Eliana several times, but she didn’t get any benefits. So now, she subconsciously felt a little scared in front of Eliana.

She bluffed, “Unfortunately, Miss Stone is not here today. But the superior has already instructed that the prototype of the bracelet must be given to the factory today. If you are not convinced, you can deal with it by yourselves. I won’t care anyway. If you don’t feel ashamed, you can go to Mr. Moran.”

“Alright, I’ll go to his office now. Every work of a designer is just like her child. So I have no reason to feel ashamed of going to Mr. Moran for my child. How about you? Will you dare show such a design draft to Mr. Moran?”

Eliana couldn’t suppress her anger anymore.

How could Lilian threaten her with Maurice? Did Lilian really think it would make her give in?

“Yes, that’s right! Let’s show both designs to Mr. Moran and see which one he will approve,” Lucia chimed in.

Lilian’s face darkened. She couldn’t deal with Eliana in the first place. And now, Lucia was here to back Eliana up. She couldn’t possibly fight with two people.

“If you want to go there, go! Don’t drag me with you.”

Lilian knew that she was over, so she began to act shamelessly and ran away directly.

“Hey, where are you going? Why are you running away?”

Lucia stomped her feet in anger.

“Well, let her go. Just leave her alone.”

Eliana patted Lucia’s shoulder helplessly.

“But I feel sorry for you. Your design is very beautiful. But look at it now. It’s already beyond recognition,” Lucia said regretfully.

Eliana was moved that Lucia cared so much for her. She was about to say something, but Lucia interrupted excitedly, “No! I can’t just let this matter go. I’ll go to Mr. Moran now and ask him to judge.”

Lucia was firm. At worst, she would expose her identity as a member of the Todd family. She couldn’t let anyone change Eliana’s design just like that.

As soon as she said this, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush to Maurice’s office.

“Lucia, wait! Calm down first,” Eliana said, grabbing Lucia’s arm.

“Eliana, if you don’t let me go to Mr. Moran, do you want to watch the bracelet be ruined like this?” Lucia was indignant.

“Of course not! But… Let me go to him. Just stay here. If something goes wrong, you might lose your job. I can’t let that happen.”

Eliana also showed a firm attitude.

She had to find Maurice and have a good talk with him today. She would not allow anyone to ruin her design.
