Ch. 511..515: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 511-515

Chapter 511

After Maurice hung up the phone, Corbin walked in from the outside. He left the company with Maurice and could almost consider himself a jobless vagabond now.

He said, “Mr. Moran, I just got the news that the projects you are working on have all been stopped by the chairman, especially the cooperation with the Stone family.”

Maurice was not surprised anymore. Since Earle made a move, he already guessed this result.

He remarked, “Does Grandpa think I will give in just because of this?” With a sneer, he added, “Gerald is not capable enough. Just let him do whatever he wants. In a few days, he will have to beg me to come back.”

“But the chairman won’t let it go just like that either,” Corbin said worriedly.

But Maurice was not afraid at all. “Grandpa has been old, thinking that it’s still easy to run the entire Moran Group. He is not aware that the world has changed too fast, and that everything has long been different from before.”

Corbin felt relieved when he saw that Maurice seemed to have some plans.

He knew that Maurice would not be defeated that easily.

With this thought, a sense of pride suddenly emerged in his heart. “Mr. Moran, what do you think we should do now?”

Maurice sat on the sofa and took a sip of his coffee calmly. “Nothing. We don’t need to do anything.”

“Nothing? Then what will happen?”

Corbin didn’t understand what Maurice meant.

“We’ll take a leave.”

After saying this, Maurice closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa lazily. It was as if he was really on vacation mode.

“Corbin, I remember that you still have a lot of unused paid leaves. Use it now. Go have a rest for a few days. You will still get paid.”

In the past, Corbin was so busy every day that he never thought he could hear the word “rest” from Maurice.

He couldn’t help teasing, “Mr. Moran, it’s really easy for you to say that. You’re a Moran, and the chairman thinks highly of you. So you can take a leave anytime you want. You can still be in your position when you return. But I’m not sure if I can have the same result.”

Maurice knew Corbin was joking. He opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said, “Do you think I can’t afford to support you as an assistant?”

Corbin couldn’t help smiling, feeling a little touched.

He had been working with Maurice for many years, and he felt that Maurice had already regarded him as a friend.

Corbin suddenly thought of Eliana. “Mr. Moran, what about Eliana? What are you going to tell her?”

Maurice was silent for a moment. Then he said in a deep voice, “Don’t tell her anything for the time being.”

“But…”

Corbin was a little worried. He wanted to say something, but Maurice interrupted, “I have my reasons.”

Maurice couldn’t help thinking of Eliana’s phone call last night.

After going through so much, he could finally have a real date with her. He didn’t want any trouble at this time.

It was hard enough to deal with Earle. He only hoped Eliana could live well now.

So he decided to hide everything from her for the time being.

Today, Eliana specially took a leave. She dressed up beautifully, went to the amusement park early, and waited for Maurice at the gate.

There were so many people, but Maurice still saw Eliana among the crowd at a glance.

Today, she was wearing a pinkish-purple chiffon dress with a knitted coat over it. She looked extremely charming. No one would think that this beautiful young woman was already a mother of two children.

“You’re here.”

Eliana ran towards Maurice with a flushed face. He wondered if it was because of the sun.

His eyes unconsciously softened as he said, “Why did you choose the amusement park for our date?”

“Because this amusement park was my favorite place when I was a child. My parents often took me here to play. Later, my father even told me that he would build a better amusement park than this one in the Pierce Group’s own theme park. Although it didn’t come true later, I still like it here the most.”

While she talked about her family, Eliana’s eyes seemed to be shining.

This light made Maurice indulge in it involuntarily. He felt as happy as when he went to the amusement park with his parents and sister when he was a child.

Chapter 512

“Do you still come here often now?”

Eliana pursed her lips and couldn’t help complaining, “Yes. But now that I already have Aileen and Adrian, it’s different. Every time I come here, I take them with me. I must look after them, so I can’t have fun anymore.”

Looking at her charming, innocent look, Maurice couldn’t help laughing. He said, “Now, it’s only the two of us today. You can have fun.”

“Yes, of course!”

Eliana immediately became excited. She grabbed Maurice’s hand and rushed into the amusement park.

But what they didn’t know was that when they were lining up to enter a ride, three little children were secretly following behind them.

And these three little children were none other than Aileen, Adrian, and Silas.

After they came out of the kindergarten and arrived at the amusement park, they were like little tails, secretly following Eliana and Maurice.

“Hey, Adrian, look! Isn’t that the handsome man? Mommy is with him. It turns out that Mommy is out on a date with him today.”

Aileen was hiding behind a mailbox. And when she recognized the man beside Eliana, she got so excited that she stretched out her hand and shook Adrian.

On the other hand, Adrian was unhappy to see Maurice and Eliana’s closeness. He snorted coldly, “It’s that bad guy again. I think Mommy’s sudden decision to move has something to do with him. I don’t like

him.”

Aileen speculated, “Could it be… Could it be that Mommy wants to move to Mr. Moran’s house to live with him?”

She turned, looked at Silas behind her, and said, “He is Silas’ uncle. If we live with him, then we can go to school with Silas every day, right?”

“In your dreams!”

After saying this, Adrian knocked on Aileen’s forehead impatiently.

“I’m just saying.”

Aileen felt aggrieved. She covered her forehead with her hand and didn’t say anything anymore.

Silas stood behind Aileen and Adrian, staring at Eliana’s and Maurice’s backs with a complicated expression on his face. He frowned tightly.

He always felt something was wrong.

“Aileen, Adrian, I don’t think it’s that simple. If your mom only wants to move to my uncle’s house, why will she change a job and transfer you to another school? So I think there must be some other reasons why your mom wants to move.”

Silas voiced out his thoughts, crossing his arms over his chest.

Unfortunately, Aileen didn’t hear everything he said because she was attracted by the ice cream cart slowly driving over. She stared at the ice cream cart with her big, round eyes, almost drooling.

And when she saw that the cart was about to leave, she couldn’t help but run after it.

Adrian suddenly shouted, “Aileen, where are you going?”

Before he and Silas could know it, Aileen had already rushed out. They looked at each other and had no choice but to catch up with her.

Eliana and Maurice still had no idea that the three children were also in the amusement park. At this moment, they were waiting in line at the entrance of the roller coaster, and it was about their turn.

Eliana looked at the roller coaster with excitement written all over her face. On the other hand, Maurice’s face darkened.

He looked at her. And the more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t understand. “Why do you like such a childish ride?”

As soon as Eliana looked at Maurice and saw the disgust on his face, her happiness was suddenly replaced by slight anger. “Childish? Don’t ride with me then.”

After saying this, she walked forward, leaving him behind.

At this time, a young man suddenly appeared beside her.

“Hello, miss. Do you mind if I sit next to you?”

The man noticed Eliana’s beauty just now. And when he saw that no one was around her, he immediately approached her.

Eliana was so embarrassed that she was rendered speechless. Before she could say anything, Maurice walked over to them with a sullen look and stood between them.

“Go away! She’s with me.”

The man was immediately intimidated by Maurice’s imposing aura. He left reluctantly.

When Eliana raised her head and saw the unhappy look on Maurice’s face, she couldn’t help but snicker.

“You think the roller coaster is childish, right? Why are you here?”

Maurice still looked gloomy. He peremptorily took Eliana’s hand, and they got on the roller coaster together.

“You can only sit with me,” he firmly said in a low voice.

She didn’t say anything and just looked at their hands clasped together, feeling touched.

Chapter 513

When Eliana and Maurice got on the roller coaster, the three children not far away looked at them with envy.

“Adrian, I want to ride a roller coaster too,” Aileen said, looking at the roller coaster past them with eyes full of desire.

“Then let’s ride it. I have money here,” Silas said.

He then walked to the entrance in a domineering manner with Aileen and Adrian beside him. However, they were stopped by the staff of the amusement park.

“Kids, you are too young to ride the roller coaster alone. Where are your parents?”

Upon hearing the staff’s question, the three children looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Then Aileen blinked her big eyes and started to act like a cute spoiled little girl. “But I really want to ride the roller coaster.”

However, the staff didn’t buy it. She touched Aileen’s head and said with a smile, “But you can’t, little girl. You have to be with your parents if you want to ride.”

The three children felt like they were ruthlessly stopped outside the door.

While sitting on the roller coaster and waiting for it to start, Eliana suddenly felt like she had heard Aileen’s voice.

She wanted to look back. But unfortunately, the roller coaster started to slowly drive forward. So she had to drop this idea.

The roller coaster slowly moved upward. And when it reached the peak and was about to surge down, she felt that Maurice held her hand even tighter.

She turned her head only to see him stiffly leaning against the back of the chair with a pale face.

“Maurice, don’t tell me… Are you scared?” Eliana was shocked by her own discovery. “No way! The fearless Maurice Moran is actually scared of riding a roller coaster?”

“Of course not!”

Maurice quickly denied it with a darkened expression.

This made Eliana realize that he was really stubborn.

Feeling the strength in her hand, Eliana couldn’t help laughing. “Okay, you’re not scared. How can the CEO of Moran Group be scared? I was wrong.”

Then she also squeezed his hand tightly.

“Here we go!” someone shouted.

In the next second, the roller coaster descended rapidly. The strong sense of weightlessness made the adrenaline surge. It was so exciting that everyone screamed.

“Ahhh!”

Eliana also screamed, releasing the negativity that had been suppressed in her heart.

After venting them, she turned her head to look at the man beside her, who had his eyes closed the whole time. She couldn’t help saying, “Maurice, open your eyes!”

Maurice’s frown deepened. But he opened his eyes obediently.

When Eliana looked into his eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

The world in front of them was turning upside down, and they saw nothing in their eyes but only each other.

She really wished that time would stop at this moment when they didn’t have to worry about anything else.

After getting off the roller coaster, Eliana felt at ease mentally and physically. She immediately took Maurice’s hand, wanting to experience another ride.

And their next destination was the haunted house.

As soon as they entered, the three children popped out their heads behind the bushes.

“Hurry, let’s follow them!”

The three of them wanted to rush in again. But as expected, they were stopped by the staff at the door.

But this time, Aileen learned to be smarter. While Adrian and Silas were negotiating with the staff, she sneaked into the group of adults that were going in.

Inside the haunted house was very dark, and the sound effects were so scary. There were all kinds of howls around, but Eliana felt like she had heard Aileen’s voice again.

It was so strange that this time, Eliana decided to find the source of the voice.

She endured the fear and pushed Maurice to start wandering in the haunted house, searching everywhere.

Maurice had no idea of what was going on. He only thought that she was scared, so he teased, “Are you scared? We can go back if you want.”

“Of course not!” Eliana denied it stubbornly. “Let’s go!”

If it wasn’t dark, one would see the doting smile on Maurice’s face as he let her walk behind him.

Maurice walked in front of Eliana, protecting her. But suddenly, several female ghosts came out of nowhere when they passed a room.

Eliana screamed in fright.

The ghosts dragged Maurice and tried to take him away. At first, Eliana was so scared that she kept dodging. But then she noticed that they seemed to be taking advantage of the opportunity to touch him.

Eliana felt it was strange.

She was jealous at once.

So she roared, “Let him go!” Her fear immediately dissipated. She rushed over and pulled their hands away from Maurice. “Why are you touching him? That’s sexual harassment!”

Chapter 514

Maurice was also annoyed by those female ghosts. He was about to drive them away when he saw Eliana rushing over angrily and standing in front of him to block them.

It was dim in the room, but he couldn’t see her expression clearly. But based on her reaction, was she jealous?

Maurice was suddenly in a good mood. He just let Eliana stand in front of him like a kitten protecting her food.

In this way, under her “protection”, those female ghosts ended up leaving awkwardly.

At this time, he couldn’t help laughing. “Your way of exorcising ghosts is quite brilliant.”

It was only then that Eliana realized that she cared so much when other women approached Maurice. She was a little embarrassed, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a little girl’s blurry back flashing in front of her.

That back was so familiar.

The more Eliana thought about it, the more she felt that the little girl was Aileen.

But how could Aileen be here? She should be in kindergarten now, right?

Eliana craned her neck, wanting to see more clearly. But a group of zombies was blocking her way, so she couldn’t see ahead clearly.

She had no choice but to hold Maurice’s hand and slowly approached the direction where the little girl went, enduring her fear.

When they walked over, they saw a small figure joining the group of zombies, playing happily. It was as if she had become the cutest little zombie.

“Aileen? What are you doing here?” Eliana exclaimed in surprise.

Indeed, the happy little zombie was none other than Aileen, who had sneaked in.

Maurice was also shocked. He was on a date with Eliana, but her daughter suddenly appeared. He was also a bit at a loss.

“The handsome man!” Aileen exclaimed as soon as she saw Maurice’s handsome face. It was as if she had immediately forgotten everything else, including Eliana. She rushed over to him and hugged his thigh.

Eliana squatted down with a gloomy face, turned Aileen’s face to her, and asked solemnly, “Aileen, tell me, how did you get here? Do you know how dangerous this place for little girls like you is?”

Aileen pouted and said unhappily, “It’s all because you and Mr. Moran hung out secretly without taking me. I also want to play with the handsome Mr. Moran.”

She raised her head and looked at Maurice with a pitiful look on her face.

Maurice’s heart softened when he saw Aileen’s cute face. He couldn’t help picking her up and hugging her in his arms.

Then he turned to Eliana and said, “Don’t lose your temper just yet. Let’s take the child out first to be safe.”

At this time, Silas and Adrian had already found that Aileen was missing. But unfortunately, they had no means to enter the haunted house. They anxiously paced back and forth outside the door. Then Silas thought of calling Maurice.

But before he dialed the number, he saw Maurice coming out of the haunted house with Aileen in his arms, holding Eliana with his other hand.

“Mommy! Aileen!” Adrian shouted and immediately rushed over.

Silas hurriedly followed behind him.

Eliana’s face darkened upon seeing Adrian and Silas.

“And you two are here too. What are you doing here?”

Silas and Adrian lowered their heads sheepishly, not daring to answer her question.

This time, Maurice spoke up. “They must have followed us secretly. They are really bold.”

Adrian suddenly raised his head in defiance. “I followed you here because I’m worried that you might do something bad to Mommy again.”

Upon hearing this, Eliana raised her hand and tapped Adrian’s forehead. “I am not a child anymore. I’m not going to let anyone bully me, okay? How dare you take your sister out secretly! What if something happens?”

Adrian touched his forehead. He didn’t dare to refute.

Maurice turned to Silas and also reprimanded, “And you, Silas. You are older than Adrian and Aileen. You are like their eldest brother. Why didn’t you stop them? Instead, you fooled around with them. If anything happens to any of you, will you be responsible for it?”

His tone was so harsh that Silas’s eyes turned red, with tears welling up.

When Eliana saw this, she hurriedly mediated, “Well, it must be Aileen and Adrian’s idea. Don’t blame Silas. He has always been the most sensible. He must have no choice but to come with them. Let’s take them home now.”

The look on Maurice’s face changed. His date with Eliana was ruined and was about to come to an end.

Aileen looked at his long face and thought for a while. Then she took Eliana’s hand and put it on his.

“Mommy, we don’t want to go home yet. Let’s hang out with you and Mr. Moran.”

Eliana looked at her hand sandwiched between Maurice’s and Aileen’s hands.

At this moment, the sorrows she had deliberately suppressed came up again.

Maybe this would be the last time she and Maurice would see each other.

After she and the children left, the children would hardly ever see their father again either.

At the thought of this, Eliana couldn’t help nodding, giving in to Aileen’s request.

She would indulge herself in this one last time.

Chapter 515

Eliana, Maurice, and the three children played enthusiastically in the amusement park.

Riding the merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, and pirate ship, they were all shouting their hearts out.

Maurice didn’t like having the three kids on his date with Eliana. Nonetheless, he made sure that the children had fun. And now, he was enjoying himself as well.

Watching Maurice with the children, Eliana couldn’t help but think that he would be a wonderful father— and responsible one, too.

The thought of Aileen and Adrian being unable to enjoy the father love anymore made her sad.

After they had dinner, the children were worn out. Eliana took Adrian in her arms and so did Maurice with Aileen. It was only Silas who could barely stand on his own.

Corbin drove over to pick them up.

Eliana and Maurice got into the car with the children in their arms.

The atmosphere in the car was very warm. The ambiance would only be interrupted by soft snores from the children.

Maurice felt warm in his heart seeing Eliana alternately stroking the twins’ foreheads. He felt that now was the time to ask her.

In a low voice, he said, “Eliana, I remember that you seemed to date me because you had to tell me something. Would you care to tell me now?”

Caught by surprise, Eliana froze but only for a while. She then raised her index finger to her lips to hush Maurice. “The kids are sleeping. Let’s not disturb them.”

Maurice glanced at the three sleeping children. He nodded, understanding Eliana wasn’t prepared to tell him now.

Anyway, he thought that he and Eliana could have a good talk some other time. Whatever it was that Eliana wanted to tell him, he thought that they would have time, a lot of time to amply talk about it.

Eliana took a deep breath and then let it escape in a relieved sigh.

In the next second, both her physical and mental fatigue overwhelmed her. Eliana subconsciously rested her head on Maurice’s shoulder.

She felt Maurice stiffen for a brief moment. And then, he relaxed and let her lean against him. Eliana couldn’t help but smile.

When the car passed down the tunnel, Maurice saw their reflection in the window. He was jolted by what he saw. They looked like a family.

There he was, the tall and reliable father… Eliana, the gentle mother… And Adrian, Aileen, and Silas, the three adorable children.

An idea popped into his head. Maurice thought he might be willing to live with Eliana and her kids should Jonathan didn’t want them.

Maurice was known to be scrupulous in living his life. Yet, here he was, thinking to accept other people’s children for her—Eliana. And she, Eliana, still didn’t know about it.

At this point, a certain sadness swept over her.

She leaned on Maurice’s shoulder and felt her tears flow down her cheeks.

In no time at all, the car arrived at the Pierce family’s house.

Maurice helped Eliana take the children to the house and then he would pursue his conversation with her. But then, Corbin came up to him.

“Mr. Moran, I got word that something was wrong with the overseas project we have negotiated with Wilfred. You needs to deal with it urgently.”

The considerate person that she was, Eliana urged Maurice to deal with the problem. “Everything’s okay here. Go ahead.”

Maurice looked intently at Eliana. Frowning, he decided to say goodbye.

“Oh well… Then, I must go now. I’ll be back when I’m done with my work. And then you can tell me what it is you intend to tell me.”

Hearing Maurice’s words, Eliana felt an overwhelming sadness coming over her again.

She knew in her heart that they would never meet again…

This would be the last time they met.

Unable to control herself, Eliana stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged Maurice.

“Be careful!”

Maurice was both shocked and surprised.

Why was this woman acting this strange?

While he couldn’t understand Eliana, he earnestly accepted Eliana’s hug.

Corbin rolled his eyes. He couldn’t stand what he was seeing.

“Mr. Moran, it’s really time for us to go,” he said in a bored and somewhat irritating tone. “We can’t catch the plane if we don’t leave now.”

Corbin’s words had Maurice and Eliana unraveled from their embrace.

Eliana saw Maurice off with a smile. Seeing his figure disappear from her sight, she reluctantly turned around and walked back to the house.

Back home, Nana looked at her seriously and asked, “Have you really made up your mind, Eliana? Because once you do it, you really can’t go back anymore…”
