Ch. 566..570: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 566-570
Chapter 566
Why did Nana have to run into Huey again? What the hell did he want from her this time?
The mere thought of finding herself in the same room with Huey made Nana shiver. At this moment, the only thing she wanted was to leave this place. She quickly turned around and was about to run away.
But before she could take a step towards the door, she saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa nearby.
Corbin? Why was he here?
Nana couldn’t move anymore and stood still. Sure enough, Huey found her.
He smiled and waved at her. “Long time no see, Nana. Come and have a seat,” Huey said excitedly.
All of a sudden, everyone turned their heads and fixed their eyes on Nana.
This man was really shameless!
Nana’s face darkened. With the pressure of pairs of eyes on her, Nana couldn’t run away now. Then she walked towards Corbin.
She asked crossly, “Why are you here?”
Actually, Corbin was also surprised to see Nana here. He was about to explain, but Huey answered, “Mr. Jenkins came here today to discuss cooperation between the Moran Group and the Layton Group.”
With a sneer, Corbin asked Huey, “What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Layton?”
“Well, we need some beautiful ladies here to lighten the atmosphere, don’t we? It’s such a happy coincidence that Nana came here at this very moment.”
With a smug smile, Huey looked at Nana provocatively and said, “Mr. Jenkins, I guess you won’t mind, right? After all, we’ve already made peace. You won’t fall out with me for a fake girlfriend you once had, will you?”
Upon hearing Huey’s words, Nana’s heart skipped a beat and she looked at Huey in disbelief.
How come he knew that she and Corbin were a fake couple?
What did he mean by saying that they had made peace?
She stared intently at Corbin, hoping that he could tell her it wasn’t true.
However, she was disappointed. Although Corbin looked dismissive, he didn’t say anything, as if agreeing to what Huey had just said.
“Mr. Layton, let’s get down to business,” Corbin finally said indifferently.
He was actually pissed.
He was sent here for business purposes. Before coming here, Maurice had specially reminded him to separate work from private matters and not to quarrel with Huey.
Since Huey insisted on bringing him here, Corbin had no choice but to follow him. But Corbin didn’t know Nana would show up here.
At this moment, Nana suddenly understood what was going on.
Huey did it on purpose!
She was tricked!
He had lured her here. All of this was just a plan designed by Huey. He made her come here so that she would think Corbin had betrayed her.
Nana could feel burning anger rise in her heart. She clenched her fists to suppress the anger in her. All she wanted now was to leave here right away.
But Huey’s men had been posted at the door to prevent her from going out. She was trapped.
Looking at Nana’s angry face, Huey felt deep satisfaction in his heart.
He had been longing to punish this woman who had dared to humiliate him!
“Nana, I didn’t expect you would come here. It seems that you have changed. Now, you are no different from those gold-diggers who covet the rich men,” Huey remarked with a surprised expression.
His words disgusted Nana, but she couldn’t refute what he said.
Although she had never thought of selling her body to climb the ladder of success in the industry, she came here today in the hope of having some benefits.
With eyes shining with mischief and cruel satisfaction, Huey continued to pour out his hatred on Nana and Corbin.
“Since you’re here, you should spend some time with Mr. Jenkins. It shouldn’t be any big deal for you, right? After all, you two once faked a couple.”
These words were like a slap on Nana’s face, and her face turned pale.
Looking at the embarrassed look on Nana’s face, Corbin felt sorry for her. He frowned and said, “No need. She can leave now.”
However, Huey had no intention of letting the two of them go so easily. He stared at Nana and said, “It seems that you are not charming enough. Mr. Jenkins is tired of you.”
Nana couldn’t suppress her anger anymore and she burst into laughter in anger.
She glared at Huey, and an idea came to her mind.
Since he wanted to see her humbly please others, she would show him!
Chapter 567
With an evil smile on her face, Nana sat next to Corbin and rested her head against his chest.
Corbin’s body stiffened at the same time. However, that did not seem to disturb Nana in the least. She actually felt a sense of revenge rising in her heart. Her smile had become more and more seductive. She took a glass of wine on the table and brought it to Corbin’s mouth.
“Mr. Jenkins, have some wine. Mr. Layton has asked me to please you!” Nana said in a sweet, flirtatious voice.
Corbin was however extremely uneasy. He felt that there was a trace of viciousness in her voice.
Nana must have misunderstood the situation. However, despite how much he wanted to explain everything to Nana, he couldn’t afford to jeopardize the business cooperation he came here to discuss with Huey.
Corbin was at a loss. Finally, pretending to be intimate with Nana, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “That is enough. I’ll handle Huey. You’d better leave a while later.”
However, Nana was so angry that she wouldn’t believe a word from him. She said in a low, dry voice, “You think I will believe you again? I didn’t expect that you were the same as that scumbag. I really misjudged you!”
Corbin couldn’t do anything right now to defend himself, so he only said, “You’re wrong! I have nothing in common with him.”
The two of them quarreled in a low voice. Anyone who saw them like this would think they were flirting with each other.
Huey, who was sitting not far away, kept his eyes on them.
He had already succeeded in humiliating Nana, but why did he still feel unhappy? He thought this vengeance would bring him a deep sense of satisfaction, but that wasn’t the case. Instead, the more he looked at Nana, the more depressed he felt.
“Nana, I didn’t expect you’ll serve my guest so well. I think you deserve a reward,” Huey commented suddenly.
Since he felt uncomfortable, he wanted to humiliate Nana even more.
Huey’s words made Nana’s blood run cold. His humiliating words made her realize that she was no different from those women who sold themselves for money.
As she thought of this, her heart ached.
With a tight smile on her face, she leaned closer to Corbin and asked, “Really? Mr. Jenkins, what do you think of my service? Is it worth a reward according to you?”
Corbin’s whole body was tensed. He glared at Huey and didn’t say a word.
He knew what was going on in Nana’s mind right now. Of course, he had no intention of giving her money for her “services”. Giving her money at this moment would be an insult to her.
Seeing that his trick didn’t work, Huey said again, “Mr. Jenkins, just relax. Haven’t you ever been to such occasions? It seems that Mr. Moran doesn’t often take you to these places. How about you work for me from now on? I promise you will live a better life than you do working for Mr. Moran! As long as you work for me, beautiful ladies would be chasing you and you’ll just have to pick whoever you want.”
Before Corbin could say anything, the door of the private room was pushed open again.
The agent brought another young model in.
This young lady was totally different from Nana who was being coerced into servicing Corbin. The model was dressed sexily with a seductive smile on her face. Her ambition was written all over her face.
She arrived just in time!
With his eyes shining with mischief, Huey immediately ordered the young woman, “Go and serve Mr. Jenkins.”
The lady understood what he meant and went to sit on the other side of Corbin. She swayed her hips exaggeratedly as she walked to look more seductive. When she sat down, she boldly stroked Corbin’s chest and smiled sweetly.
“Mr. Jenkins…” she said in a flirtatious voice.
Corbin felt so disgusted at her touch that he got goose bumps. He pushed her away subconsciously.
However, the young model had enough experience in this and was thick-skinned. She leaned even closer to Corbin now. The sofa wasn’t very big, and with Nana sitting on the other side of Corbin, it was impossible for him to get away from the young model.
Nana felt burning anger surge in her heart when she saw what the young lady was doing.
She couldn’t let this happen!
She couldn’t let anyone else touch Corbin!
Nana was so anxious that her body reacted before her mind. She clasped the back of Corbin’s neck and kissed him passionately.
When their lips touched, Corbin felt numb and had the impression that an electric current had passed through his body.
Nana was determined to declare her ownership of him. She hugged Corbin tightly and kissed him possessively.
Corbin was surprised at first, but quickly took a liking to it. He even began to kiss Nana passionately as if they were alone in the room.
Seeing that Corbin and Nana were flirting with each other so much so that there was no way she could include herself, the young model set her sights on Huey.
“Mr. Layton, how about letting me serve you?” she asked seductively.
As she spoke, she took a step towards Huey. However, Huey wouldn’t let her even touch him. He roared in anger, “Get lost!”
The model had no choice but to walk out of the private room with a gloomy face.
As he watched the two people kissing passionately, jealousy burned in Huey’s heart. He only wanted one thing right now, and that was to rush forward and separate them.
But he couldn’t do that. It was him who asked Nana to serve Corbin. Now, it would be too embarrassing for him if he stopped her.
Since Huey couldn’t separate the two, he just mocked, “Do you want me to book a hotel room for you, Mr. Jenkins?”
It wasn’t until Huey’s words rang out that Nana suddenly came to her senses. Realizing what she had just done, she pushed Corbin away and covered her red, burning face with her hands. She felt dizzy.
Corbin’s eyes, however, were burning with desire. He pulled Nana back into his arms possessively. Then, he turned around, stared at Huey and snapped, “Shut up!”
Chapter 568
The expression on Huey’s face changed at once.
“Is this how you talk to your partner?” he asked with a more sullen look.
“Mr. Layton, as an employee of Moran Group, I can tolerate you at work. But if you want to insult someone important to me, that’s a different story. I won’t allow it. After all, it’s my private life and has nothing to do with my job.”
Corbin’s words were undoubtedly threatening Huey. At the same time, it was also a declaration that Nana was a very important person to him.
Of course, Nana also heard what he said. She was so shocked that she raised her head and stared blankly at his face.
Someone important to him…
Was he referring to her?
When Huey saw the expectant look on Nana’s face, he was even angrier. But he didn’t intend to give up. Instead, he insisted, “Mr. Jenkins, as far as I know, you were only pretending to be Nana’s boyfriend back then. So, what is the meaning of this? Are you going to fall out with me because of her?”
Corbin lowered his head, looked at Nana, and smiled at her gently.
Then he turned to look at Huey with eyes full of determination.
“Huey, I am a person who values relationships. If I really don’t have feelings for her, I won’t have anything to do with her. I wouldn’t even agree to pretend to be her boyfriend. That’s all I want you to keep in mind. I have nothing else to say. Nana, let’s go!”
At this moment, Nana couldn’t hear anything except the sound of her own heartbeat. And as joy and excitement filled her heart, her heartbeat got faster and faster.
Huey was the exact opposite. As soon as Corbin finished speaking, he was outraged.
“Corbin, you are deliberately going against me, right? Do I have to remind you why you’re here? If you dare to take Nana away today, the cooperation between Moran Group and Layton Group is over.”
Huey threatened Corbin, but the latter didn’t show even the slightest fear at all. Instead, he sneered coldly, “Mr. Layton, you should tell that directly to Mr. Moran’s face.”
Then he grabbed the stunned Nana’s hand and walked out of the room.
She didn’t resist, letting him lead her out of the room that suffocated her.
Nana had never seen Corbin like this before. He was so domineering and decisive that it moved her and gave her an incomparable sense of security.
When they got outside, a gust of cold wind blew. Nana was not wearing much, so she couldn’t help shivering. Corbin noticed it. He immediately took off his coat and put it on her.
As he wrapped it around her shoulders, he reminded her, “From now on, you have to be more careful. Don’t go on occasions like this alone. You are a woman, and it’s dangerous…”
“Is what you said just now true?” Nana suddenly interrupted Corbin’s chatter. She stared at him and repeated, “Corbin, do you mean what you have said in there?”
His hands froze on her shoulders for a moment. It was as if he was contemplating. Then with a determined look, he stared at her and said solemnly, “Yes, I meant what I said. I like you.”
Corbin’s words were like music to Nana’s ears. He really liked her!
His words got into her heart. She felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes.
When Corbin saw Nana’s reaction, he didn’t know what to do. He thought he had said something wrong, so he added hastily, “Don’t cry. You don’t have to rush to answer me. Take your time. I can wait.”
At this moment, Corbin was a completely different person. He was like a clumsy child.
“Idiot!” Nana couldn’t help laughing. “I can answer you now. I like you, too.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she didn’t give Corbin any chance to react. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
There was no anger or jealousy in her kiss. It was just pure joy and admiration.
They could not extricate themselves from the kiss. As their lips and tongue intertwined, their feelings for each other grew.
While they were so immersed in their intimacy, Corbin’s phone rang, interrupting them.
It must be Maurice.
Corbin had no choice but to end the kiss. When they separated, the two of them were out of breath.
He took out his phone and was about to answer it. But Nana canceled it.
He looked at her in confusion. She just smiled at him charmingly. “Idiot, it’s not working hours now. Don’t mind him,” Nana said and kissed him again.
In an instant, Corbin couldn’t think of anything else. He was totally lost in the kiss.
Chapter 570
Adrian swallowed his words and forced a smile on his lips. “Mommy, this tastes good.”
“Really? I’m glad to hear that!”
Eliana was thrilled to discover she had a knack for baking.
Eliana excitedly picked up the remaining slices of apple pie and brought them downstairs. She wanted to gift them to her new neighbor to say hello.
When she got downstairs, this floor was bustling with workers. They walked in and out, transporting boxes into the apartment unit downstairs.
Eliana sighed in exasperation. No wonder it was so noisy outside. She felt overwhelmed as she looked at the sea of boxes. They must be redecorating this apartment.
Two workers suddenly approached her. They were carrying an oil painting so large that they couldn’t see where they were going. The men didn’t notice Eliana was standing behind them and collided her.
“Ah!”
Eliana didn’t notice their approach, and she was surprised when they bumped into her. She lost her balance and tumbled forward.
“Watch out!”
A muscular arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.
A moment later, Eliana looked up and saw a familiar face.
Recognition dawned on her face. “Maurice!” she exclaimed.
“Stand on your feet before you speak! Be more mindful of where you’re going,” Maurice commented with a frown.
Eliana suddenly realized that they were huddled too closely with one another. Her face flushed in embarrassment. She pushed herself away from him and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Maurice calmly answered, “Is there a problem with me being here?”
Eliana glanced at the workers and then back at Maurice. A thought suddenly occurred to her. “Are you the one moving in?” she said in surprise.
“That’s right,” Maurice admitted.
Eliana’s brows rose in shock.
Oh my goodness! Maurice lived downstairs!
Why couldn’t she shake off the feeling that something was off?
When Maurice saw the reluctance in her face, his brows furrowed in displeasure. “What’s the matter? Am I not welcome here?”
Eliana jolted at his words and hurriedly lifted the apple pie in her hand to him.
“No, of course not! You’re more than welcome to be here! Look, I brought you some food!”
To her surprise, Maurice’s frown deepened when he saw the apple pie she offered.
“You’ve never cooked for me before. Did you make that only to share it with a strange neighbor downstairs?”
Eliana froze and couldn’t think of a reply.
Was he jealous again?
Wasn’t he the strange neighbor he spoke about? There was no one else. Was he jealous of himself?
She didn’t dare to speak out against him. Eliana had no choice but to reassure him that her intentions were pure.
“Don’t say things like that! I made four slices of apple pie. I gave Aileen and Adrian one each, which leaves two. I was going to give the third to my new neighbor, and the last was for you. I didn’t even save some for myself!”
Maurice saw the two slices on the plate, and the numbers added up. His face softened at her thoughtfulness.
“That was nice of you.”
Eliana breathed a sigh of relief.
“Since you brought some food over, let’s go inside.”
Maurice took the apple pie from her and entered his apartment. Eliana hurriedly followed him in.
As soon as Eliana walked into the room, she was stunned by what she saw.
Even though they lived in the same apartment building, and Maurice only moved in that day, his place was luxurious compared to hers. His home was already fully furnished with expensive pieces.
She didn’t expect anything less from a man as wealthy as Maurice.
He smiled as he watched her observe his place. “Do you like it?”
Eliana nodded subconsciously at him. She wished she could live at a place like his. She realized she invited herself into his apartment and scolded herself.
Eliana quickly changed the topic and said, “Well… You’d better eat the apple pie right away, or it’ll get cold!”
Maurice stopped teasing her when he saw the pretty flush on her face. He picked up a piece of the apple pie and put it in his mouth.
“How does it taste?” Eliana stared at him expectantly.
Maurice’s face puckered. How could he begin to describe the strange taste of the pie?
It tasted like expired dry bread that was burnt around the edges. Maurice couldn’t understand why it was so difficult to swallow a bite of the pie.
He looked at her expectant eyes, and Maurice had no choice but to swallow the pie and lie, “It’s not bad. The pie is delicious.”
“Wow! Let me have a taste!”
Eliana couldn’t wait to taste her pie, but Maurice stopped her.
“Don’t!”
“Why not?” Eliana wondered aloud.
“Didn’t you say this pie was for me?” Maurice said firmly. He wasn’t going to let her have a bite.
What a greedy man! Eliana withdrew her hand and pouted in disappointment.
Maurice didn’t want her to attempt tasting the pie again, so he changed the topic.
“Did someone cause trouble for you today?” he questioned.
