Ch. 556..560: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 556-560

Chapter 556

Nana was worried when she saw Adrian and Aileen rush outside, so she followed them.

“Where is Mommy? How come she suddenly disappeared?”

Adrian was getting anxious. He looked around but didn’t see Eliana.

“Adrian, do you think Mommy crossed paths with a bad person? I’m really worried. Let’s call the police!”

Aileen nervously grabbed her brother’s hand. Worry was written all over her face.

While the kids were worried, Nana, who was taller than them, saw two persons’ shadows under the big tree not far away. She instantly figured out everything.

One of the two seemed to be Eliana. She should be fine. She probably didn’t want the children to see the man she was with.

Having understood what was happening, Nana hastened to reassure the two children.

“Hey darlings, don’t worry. I assure you that your mommy is fine. It’s so cold. We’d better hurry back inside, or we’ll catch a cold.”

Hearing what Nana said, Adrian was alerted at once. “Nana, how do you know Mommy is fine? What’s going on?”

Adrian was very smart. It was getting more and more difficult to fool him.

Nana couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. She looked at the big tree under which Eliana and Maurice were, and explained aloud, “Your mommy is fine! You kids should know that you should give your mommy some private time, okay?”

Aileen’s eyes lit up upon hearing what Nana said. She replied immediately, “I understand what you mean, Nana. You want us to give Mommy more private time to go on a date, right?”

“Aileen! Don’t talk nonsense!” Adrian said angrily. The idea of his mother dating someone just pissed him off.

“Adrian, you are still a kid. You can’t understand such things. I won’t blame you,” Aileen said calmly, patting Adrian on the shoulder like an adult. As she did, she couldn’t help laughing.

Adrian’s face grew red with anger. He wanted to argue with Aileen, but before he could open his mouth Nana grabbed his and Aileen’s hands and led them back inside.

Meanwhile, Eliana was hiding behind the big tree. It wasn’t until the children had returned to the house that she breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from behind the tree.

“Why are we hiding? It’s not like your kids have never seen me before.”

Maurice’s face darkened. He didn’t understand why Eliana had dragged him here.

She was so nervous, like they might be caught committing adultery.

The moment Eliana saw her kids, she didn’t think twice and just pulled Maurice away subconsciously. Why did she do that?

“Don’t think too much, I just feel a bit ashamed…” Eliana explained shyly.

“Ashamed?” Maurice’s face became even gloomier, as if he was going to lose his temper any moment. “Are you ashamed of me?” he asked coldly.

“No, no, no!” Eliana was stunned that he would think such a thing. His cold aura frightened her to the bones. She shook her head and explained, “It’s all my fault. When we moved, I told the kids that I

would never see you again. If they see us together, they’ll think I’ve gone back on my word. That would destroy the image of the honest mommy in their hearts.”

Eliana looked really miserable as she explained the matter to Maurice. Maurice couldn’t help laughing at this moment.

He gently stroke Eliana’s forehead with his fingertips and said, “I told you not to make promises casually. See what you’ve gotten yourself into now?”

It wasn’t until Maurice’s fingertips touched Eliana’s cold skin that he realized they had been standing outside for a long time. He was fine, but Eliana’s hair was still wet and she was wearing thin clothes. No wonder she was so cold.

It they stayed here, she would definitely catch a cold.

“Come, follow me,” he said, pulling Eliana towards his car.

Eliana tried to protest, but he quietly shoved her into his car.

Once in the car, he turned on the heat and then took out a clean towel which he handed to her.

“Get your hair dry,” he said with a gentle smile.

“Thank you.”

Eliana gladly took the towel. The heat in the car did her a world of good. She had been out for so long that she was almost frozen.

She took the towel and began to dry her hair.

While Eliana was drying her hair, Maurice’s eyes unconsciously fell on her hair which had been partially cut off.

He was the one who cut it last night.

He guessed that Eliana didn’t remember what happened last night. After all, she was drunk. Otherwise, she would have already come to get even with him.

Maurice stifled his laughter, afraid that Eliana would notice it.

However, his eyes betrayed his laughter. Eliana could no longer hide her discomfort. She covered her partially cut hair and said angrily, “Stop looking at it! How dare you laugh after cutting my hair?”

Chapter 557

Maurice felt a little embarrassed and quickly looked away.

Eliana dried her hair quietly. Maurice looked down and was silent for a while. The atmosphere in the car was calm and harmonious.

The heat in the car warmed Eliana, and after several minutes, she was almost done drying her hair.

Seeing that the night grew late, Eliana turned to look at Maurice sitting next to her.

“Maurice, I kept my promise and didn’t stand you up this time. We have met each other. I have to go back now.”

After saying that, she opened the door and was about to leave.

But before she could step out of the car, Maurice grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.

“Did I say you could leave?” he whispered in her ear.

Eliana felt the warmth coming from Maurice’s body and her heart began to race. “What are you doing? Whatever you have in mind, don’t,” she warned.

Once again, she misunderstood him.

Maurice couldn’t help but tease Eliana when he saw the guilty look on her face. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear in a sexy, hoarse voice, “What do you think I want to do? Hmm?”

His magnetic voice sent tingles down Eliana’s spine.

Did Maurice want to have sex with her in the car?

No way! However, she felt her body getting hotter and hotter. “You can’t do it in the car!” she protested.

Maurice held back his laughter and continued to tease Eliana, “Since you don’t want us to do it in the car, how about going to your place?”

“No way! You can’t come to my house. The kids are home!” Eliana refused nervously.

At this point, Maurice could hardly hold back his laughter. He teased her even more, “Isn’t that exactly what you want? Don’t you like the thrill of it? It would be so exciting to do it in the car.”

Maurice’s incessant teasing embarrassed Eliana so much that her face turned red. She protested weakly, “Don’t twist my words. That’s not what I meant!”

“I see what you mean,” Maurice said with a slight smile as he finally let go of Eliana. However, before she could react, he pinned her against the seat, and suddenly started the car. “I’ll take you to find some excitement now.”

Eliana was helpless. She felt she shouldn’t have gotten into Maurice’s car!

Now it was too late when she realized that. She could do nothing as he took her away.

“Maurice, where on earth are you taking me to?”

Eliana held the seat belt tightly. Her mind was in a whirlwind.

“You’ll know when we get there.”

Maurice smiled mysteriously.

Soon, the car arrived at a drive-in movie theater!

“Is this what you call exciting?” Eliana asked confusedly.

It was completely different from the kind of place she thought he would take her to.

“You owe me a date. This is your chance to make it up to me,” Maurice said casually as he pulled the car in the parking lot.

Eliana was even more confused. “What do you mean by that? Didn’t we go to the amusement park last time?”

“You have the guts to talk about that?” Maurice squinted at her. His gaze was so intimidating that Eliana felt a cold shiver run through her. “You went to the amusement park with me only because you were planning to run away. The three kids acted up. It was not a date in any capacity.”

Eliana didn’t dare to say anything more now. She knew he was right.

Anyways, his choice to take her to the movie theater wasn’t odd. After all, most couples would go to see a movie on dates.

Having made up her mind, Eliana followed Maurice into the theater. They chose a room and sat there, waiting excitedly for the movie to start.

Maurice had intended to watch a romantic movie, but Eliana delayed, so the romantic movie was now over. The next movie was a horror movie.

As she stared at the blood picture on the big screen, Eliana was taken aback.

Why did Maurice like horror movies?

She actually didn’t like horror movies, because they always scared her. However, she couldn’t leave now. She had no choice but to stay and see the movie.

Eliana closed her eyes every time she saw bloody scenes. As she was about to swear, she discovered that Maurice sitting next to her looked very strange.

She looked at the screen again and saw that the lead character in the movie had a car accident. The bright red blood seemed to splash out of the screen.

Maurice’s face grew paler and paler.

At this moment, something suddenly occurred to Eliana.

Maurice’s sister and brother-in-law died in a car accident. Eliana was sure that the movie reminded Maurice of that accident!

Chapter 558

Feeling inexplicably flustered, Eliana subconsciously raised her hand to cover Maurice’s eyes.

“Stop looking…”

At that moment, Maurice was hopelessly immersed in the agonizing memories of his past. But Eliana’s voice was like a lifeline, pulling him back to reality and saving him from drowning in his pain.

Was she worried about him?

Maurice pulled her hand away from his eyes and pretended to be calm. “I’m not scared.”

Eliana pursed her lips. How stubborn was this man? Did he think that she was blind? He had no idea how bad he looked just now!

However, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

Instead of exposing his lie, she said, “You’re not scared, but I am.”

As she spoke, she moved closer to him, and threw her arms around Maurice.

At such a close distance, she could clearly see the truth: Maurice’s face was ghastly pale.

He was just pretending to be tough.

Overwhelmed by the need to comfort him, Eliana hugged him tightly and continued, “I’m a little scared. Maurice, can you just let me hug you for a while?”

Maurice gladly grasped at the excuse to hold Eliana in his arms, as if he was clutching at the last piece of driftwood. The warmth of her skin and the scent drifting from her neck finally helped relax him.

They had gone to watch a horror movie, but the two of them seemed to have their own moment. On the way back, they were much closer than before.

Soon, they arrived at Eliana’s apartment building.

When the car stopped, Eliana looked out of the window and broke the silence first.

“Thank you, Maurice. I had a good time today. I’ll leave now.”

While speaking, she didn’t dare to meet Maurice’s eyes, and her whole face was flushed red. As soon as she finished her words, she unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car.

Maurice, who had just taken out a gift box to give to Eliana, was surprised to see that she was no longer in her seat.

When he raised his eyes, he saw her standing outside the car, waving goodbye to him through the window.

“Bye. Be careful on the way,” she said with a smile.

Sitting in a stunned silence, Maurice put the gift box back.

Once again, he felt a stab of irritation.

Nevertheless, as Eliana turned around and went upstairs, he couldn’t help but stare at her receding back until he saw her disappear into the building.

It was late at night, and the street was quiet except for the sound of crickets chirping. Maurice leaned against the seat, recalling the warm hug.

But he was soon interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing.

Once again, it was a call from Harriet.

What an annoying woman!

With a disdainful smile on his face, Maurice picked up the phone. As soon as he answered the call, Harriet’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“Mr. Moran, even if my uncle did make a mistake, how could you do that to him?”

“All I did was break one of his hands. It’s a small price for provoking me. Tell him that if he dares to do it next time, I won’t be so lenient.”

With those words, Maurice curtly hung up the phone.

At this time, Harriet was visiting her uncle Kelvin in the hospital. Fuming at how abruptly Maurice had hung up on her, she tightened her grip on the phone.

Maurice was obviously acting like this because he didn’t take her and the Stone Group seriously at all!

Kelvin was lying in the hospital bed, sweating profusely because of the pain, but he still tried to added fuel to the fire.

He complained tearfully, “He broke my hand just for that little bitch, Eliana! Can you stand it, Harriet? I won’t let this go anyway! I already told your mother about this. I won’t rest without getting revenge!”

As soon as Harriet heard Eliana’s name, the anger inside her turned into jealousy.

Eliana? It was that bitch again!

As long as Eliana was in the picture, Harriet knew that she could never get Maurice.

How could she let this go?

In front of Kelvin, who now considered Maurice as an enemy, she didn’t mind letting down her disguise. With unconcealed resentment and fury in her eyes, she looked so evil that it send a chill down Kelvin’s spine.

“Uncle Kelvin, you want to get revenge, right? Have you found out where Eliana lives now?”

Harriet swore to herself that this time, she would get rid of Eliana once and for all.

Lying down in her bedroom, Eliana suddenly sneezed for no reason.

Was someone thinking about her?

Could it be Maurice?

The memory of tonight’s date flashed through her mind, instantly bringing a smile to her face.

The date with Maurice reminded her of her beautiful school days.

With a sweetened heart, Eliana slept soundly that night.

Chapter 559

The next morning, Eliana awoke comfortably. She felt rejuvenated when she got out of bed and was in a good mood for the entire morning.

As they watched Eliana cheerfully go about her morning, Nana and the twins shared a meaningful glance. The three of them knew that she had secretly gone out last night, but they didn’t dare to say this out loud.

After her night out, Eliana was full of energy. She even shocked Nana when she made a large breakfast that filled the whole table.

Had she made such a substantial breakfast to help they put on weight?

“Eliana, what’s going on with you today? Was it necessary to prepare such an elaborate breakfast?”

Eliana sheepishly looked at the table and gave a dry cough with embarrassment. She was so caught up in her happiness this morning that she had cooked too much without noticing.

She pretended to be serious and said, “Today is a big day! Our babies will return to the original kindergarten. As their mother, I naturally have to celebrate such an occasion!”

Nana couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Eliana was even using the children as an excuse! After seeing her performance this morning, who would believe her excuse?

Children were simple. As soon as they heard that they could go back to the original kindergarten, they were very happy.

“Thank you, Mommy. You are the best! You are the kindest and most beautiful woman in the whole world!”

When Aileen wanted to, she could really charm a person with her sweet words.

Adrian was not to be outdone. It was rare for him to say sweet words, but today he said, “Mommy, you are so kind!”

Then the three of them happily embraced each other.

In the middle of such a lively atmosphere, Nana was unwilling to be left out. She raised her hand solemnly and coughed to get their attention. Then she announced, “My dear babies, I also have a piece of good news to tell you!”

The three of them instontly focused on her with curiosity in their eyes.

“I’ve olreody received o new shoot, ond it’s o big project. When I om poid, I’ll invite you to o lovish meol!”

“Thot’s wonderful!”

“Thot’s greot, Nono!”

The three of them delightedly reocted to her news ot the some time.

Everyone’s spirit wos lifted by the good news. After breokfost, they oll left ot the some time. Nono plonned to heod to the shoot while Eliono would toke the twins to school.

Suddenly, on unexpected event occurred.

Out of nowhere, Horriet oppeored with o group of people downstoirs ond blocked the four’s poth.

“I didn’t expect you to hide yourselves so well!” she soid.

As soon os Eliono sow her, she felt olert. She pulled the two kids behind her, ond Nono immediotely stepped forword.

Seeing the shocked expression on Eliono’s foce, Horriet become more orrogont. She looked behind Eliono ond stored stroight ot the two children with vicious eyes.

“Whot’s wrong? Are you ofroid thot the news of you being o mistress will be discovered by others? This is the first time I’ve seen someone like you who lives os someone’s mistress while roising two children. No wonder you hove to hide yourselves. You hove done such o shomeful thing.”

As she spoke, she deliberotely roised her voice, which immediotely ottrocted the ottention of the surrounding people. She hod done this in public on purpose.

Eliono stepped forword. Indignotion instontly blozed in her eyes. She wos like o lioness protecting her cubs, reody to ottock her enemy with her teeth ond clows.

“You soy I’m o mistress? Tell me, whose mistress om I?”

The three of them instantly focused on her with curiosity in their eyes.

“I’ve already received a new shoot, and it’s a big project. When I am paid, I’ll invite you to a lavish meal!”

“That’s wonderful!”

“That’s great, Nana!”

The three of them delightedly reacted to her news at the same time.

Everyone’s spirit was lifted by the good news. After breakfast, they all left at the same time. Nana planned to head to the shoot while Eliana would take the twins to school.

Suddenly, an unexpected event occurred.

Out of nowhere, Harriet appeared with a group of people downstairs and blocked the four’s path.

“I didn’t expect you to hide yourselves so well!” she said.

As soon as Eliana saw her, she felt alert. She pulled the two kids behind her, and Nana immediately stepped forward.

Seeing the shocked expression on Eliana’s face, Harriet became more arrogant. She looked behind Eliana and stared straight at the two children with vicious eyes.

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid that the news of you being a mistress will be discovered by others? This is the first time I’ve seen someone like you who lives as someone’s mistress while raising two children. No wonder you have to hide yourselves. You have done such a shameful thing.”

As she spoke, she deliberately raised her voice, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people. She had done this in public on purpose.

Eliana stepped forward. Indignation instantly blazed in her eyes. She was like a lioness protecting her cubs, ready to attack her enemy with her teeth and claws.

“You say I’m a mistress? Tell me, whose mistress am I?”

Harriet sneered, a diabolic expression on her face. “Of course you are Maurice’s mistress. I am going to be engaged to him, yet you have still seduced him. Is that not the degenerate behavior of a mistress?!”

“I see,” said Eliana. “You said you two are going to be engaged. So, did the Moran Group announce the news? Or was it Maurice who announced it? Or did you hold an engagement ceremony? None of those

things happened? So you are just spreading rumors!”

Harriet was caught off guard by this series of questions and couldn’t think of a retort.

“Nana, call the Moran Group and tell them that someone is spreading rumors about their CEO’s engagement. Let’s see how they deal with it,” Eliana said to Nana beside her, taking advantage of the moment to get one up on Harriet.

“No, you can’t!” Harriet said in a panicked voice as she came back to her senses.

Her engagement with Maurice had already been denied by the Moran Group. If Maurice knew that she was still publicizing the matter, she would be done for.

Without giving Harriet more time to react, Eliana urged, “Nana, call them now!”

Anger surged in Harriet’s heart and she felt herself losing control.

Since this bitch wanted to ruin her life, then she would fight back.

“All right then! Hurry up and arrest them!” Harriet shouted to the goons around her.

Eliana, Nana and the twins were immediately surrounded.

Harriet was the first one to rush forward. She anxiously approached Eliana and prepared to slap her in the face.

However, Adrian, who had been hiding behind Eliana, saw this as an opportune moment to strike and stretched his foot out to trip Harriet.

A moment later, Harriet lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Chapter 560

No one was expecting to see Harriet tumble down.

After hearing her order, the goons rushed from behind and almost trampled Harriet.

“Miss Stone, are you alright?”

The goons weren’t concerned about hurting Eliana. They rushed to help Harriet to her feet.

Harriet’s overbearing aura was ruined by her fall. Her entire body was covered with dust, and mud was splattered all over her face. She looked like a mess.

“What a funny woman. She was planning on teaching someone a lesson but ended up falling to the ground!”

“I thought this like one of those scenes in a drama where the wife teaches the mistress a lesson. It turns out that someone overestimated their capabilities!”

“How embarrassing! If it were me, I wouldn’t have the courage to see anyone anymore…”

Harriet heard everyone’s harsh words as they mocked her.

Her face flushed, and she felt a mixture of anger and shame.

“Harriet, you’ve made a fool out of yourself today. It would be best if you left as soon as possible. Otherwise, something worse might happen to you! You wouldn’t want me as your enemy.”

Eliana glared at Harriet and refused to give in.

Although Harriet had suffered losses that day, she showed no intention of backing down.

“Do you really think I would take your advice and leave? Don’t think too highly of yourself!”

“I know what happened previously was your fault. I’m also aware of what’s troubling you, but I can tell you that I have no plans of going back to the Moran Group,” Eliana stated. She laid all of her cards on the table.

“Why would I believe someone like you?” Harriet sneered.

“I don’t core whether you believe me or not. As long os you promise you won’t moke o fuss here ogoin, I won’t get involved in your business with Mourice. I con guorontee you thot,” Eliono soid ploinly ond loid out her terms for Horriet.

After thot, she turned owoy from Horriet ond wos obout to leove to send her children off to school.

Horriet spent o few moments trying to collect her thoughts, but she couldn’t get over the humiliotion. She ordered her men to surround them ogoin.

“I won’t let you leove so eosily!”

Eliono took o step bock when the men crowded oround her. She wos only with her two children ond Nono. They were so weok thot they looked like they would collopse ot ony moment.

All of o sudden, o strong femole voice cut in, “Whot do you plon on doing to her?”

Rosomond oppeored out of nowhere.

“Miss Deleon, whot ore you doing here?”

It never occurred to Horriet thot Rosomond would show up ond get her hostoges out of trouble.

“Miss Stone, there might be some misunderstondings between you ond Eliono. She works with me now. I hope you con behove yourself in the future.”

Rosomond wos cleorly stonding up for Eliono. Horriet couldn’t understond why Rosomond would do such o thing.

Why would she defend Eliono? Why did Eliono olwoys monoge to get owoy with everything?

In the post, Mourice offered Eliono protection. Now thot he wos no longer oround, Rosomond wos defending her. As for os Horriet knew, Rosomond hod nothing to do with Eliono!

Horriet refused to bock down ond yelled, “I’m confused, Miss Deleon. Why would you protect o womon like her?”

“I don’t care whether you believe me or not. As long as you promise you won’t make a fuss here again, I won’t get involved in your business with Maurice. I can guarantee you that,” Eliana said plainly and laid out her terms for Harriet.

After that, she turned away from Harriet and was about to leave to send her children off to school.

Harriet spent a few moments trying to collect her thoughts, but she couldn’t get over the humiliation. She ordered her men to surround them again.

“I won’t let you leave so easily!”

Eliana took a step back when the men crowded around her. She was only with her two children and Nana. They were so weak that they looked like they would collapse at any moment.

All of a sudden, a strong female voice cut in, “What do you plan on doing to her?”

Rosamond appeared out of nowhere.

“Miss Deleon, what are you doing here?”

It never occurred to Harriet that Rosamond would show up and get her hostages out of trouble.

“Miss Stone, there might be some misunderstandings between you and Eliana. She works with me now. I hope you can behave yourself in the future.”

Rosamond was clearly standing up for Eliana. Harriet couldn’t understand why Rosamond would do such a thing.

Why would she defend Eliana? Why did Eliana always manage to get away with everything?

In the past, Maurice offered Eliana protection. Now that he was no longer around, Rosamond was defending her. As far as Harriet knew, Rosamond had nothing to do with Eliana!

Harriet refused to back down and yelled, “I’m confused, Miss Deleon. Why would you protect a woman like her?”

Rosamond’s face darkened at the question. She had never been questioned that way in her entire life.

“Miss Stone, I don’t think you can afford to offend someone like Eliana. Even if your mother appeared today, you would have no choice but to make a concession.”

Harriet’s eyes widened in shock. “I don’t believe you!”

She was so angry that she was determined to punish Eliana no matter what it took.

For a moment, the air was thick with tension. It felt as if a bomb would explode at any second.

Suddenly, Harriet’s phone rang.

When she reached for her phone, she saw her mother calling.

Harriet was thrilled when she saw this. Her mother would avenge her!

Harriet’s smirk vanished the moment her mother began speaking.

“Stop whatever you’re doing, Harriet! Don’t interfere in your uncle’s business!”

Her mother harshly ordered Harriet to come back as soon as possible and to stop harassing Eliana.

Although Harriet was angry, she believed that there was a reason for her mother to tell her those things. Something was probably wrong, so she had no choice but to leave.

On the way back, Harriet called her mother and loudly asked, “Mom, why did you stop me? I don’t understand! What’s going on right now?”

It was difficult for her to walk away from that situation.

Her mother’s voice sounded weary on the other end of the call.

“Don’t underestimate that woman, Harriet. She has an influential person backing her. That woman is not just the daughter of the bankrupt Pierce family. You must avoid her at all costs in the future.”
