Ch. 586..590: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 586-590

Chapter 586

“Mr. Moran!”

“Mr. Moran!”

“Great-grandpa!”

Aleck and the three kids shouted at the same time.

“Take Mr. Moran to the hospital right away! Hurry up!” Aleck shouted.

They all got together to carry Earle into the car.

The kids got in the car in turn and sat beside the unconscious Earle.

As soon as they were all in the car, the driver stepped on the gas pedal and the car sped towards the hospital.

By this time, Aleck had calmed down. He took out his phone and quickly called Maurice.

“Mr. Moran, your grandfather has a heart attack. We are on our way to the hospital…”

Aleck had no time to finish his words as Maurice had already hung up. Aleck guessed that Maurice was already on his way to the hospital.

Soon the car arrived at the hospital. Earle’s doctor had already been notified and was waiting for them at the entrance to the hospital. As soon as the car stopped, they got Earle out of the car and put him on the stretcher. The doctor, accompanied by two nurses, immediately rushed Earle to the emergency room.

Earle was quickly taken care of and the diagnosis showed that he did not suffer from anything alarming. He had just had a panic attack.

Earle woke up shortly afterwards.

Everyone finally felt relieved.

As Aileen stared at the old man lying listlessly in the bed, she had the feeling that this scene was familiar to her.

“Oh, no!” Aileen suddenly exclaimed in panic. She patted her head and said nervously, “Adrian, we forgot to tell Mommy! You remember what happened last time? We stayed at the hospital for a long time and Mommy was worried about us. She was so angry. We need to call Mommy right now!”

Adrian immediately recalled the matter his sister was referring to and nodded. “You are right!”

Hearing the children’s conversation, Earle was impressed.

Adrian and Aileen were so young, but they were sensible and considerate. It was really rare.

“Aleck, come here.” Earle looked at Aleck who was standing by the bed and ordered, “Go with the kids and help them call their mother. Explain the situation clearly to their mother this time. Make sure you don’t cause any misunderstanding like last time.”

“Alright, Mr. Moran,” Aleck replied.

Aleck then led the twins out of the ward. Meanwhile, Silas stayed in the room with Earle.

In the corridor of the hospital, Aleck took out his phone and asked the twins their mother’s phone number. Then he dialed it.

While the call was in progress, Aleck casually asked the twins, “What’s your mother’s name?”

“Eliana Pierce! My mommy’s name is Eliana Pierce. It’s a pretty name, isn’t it?” Aileen said proudly in a sweet voice.

Aleck was stunned and his eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn’t believe his ears.

Did he hear this little girl clearly just now?

Did the little girl say her mother was Eliana Pierce?

What a coincidence!

Aleck was utterly stunned. He thought of Eliana whom he had seen a few times.

While he was lost in thoughts, a familiar voice came from the other end of the line.

“Hello, who’s it?”

It turned out he didn’t mishear Aileen just now. It was really Eliana’s voice!

She was the mother of these twins.

Aleck was confused. He had lots of questions to ask Eliana, but he knew it was not a good time to ask.

He had to do as Earle said first.

“Miss Pierce? I’m Aleck Hinks, Mr. Earle Moran’s assistant.”

“Mr. Moran’s assistant!” At the other end of the phone, Eliana was a little uneasy when the man introduced himself. “Is there anything that Mr. Moran wants you to tell me?” she asked nervously.

Aleck hurriedly explained, “No! Actually, there was an accident today, and Mr. Moran and your children are in the hospital now. Your kids care about Mr. Moran, so they and Silas decided to stay here with Mr. Moran. You can rest assured that I will send them back safely later.”

Eliana’s nervousness grew at the mention of the hospital.

Why were Earle and her children at the hospital?

Eliana was very worried.

“Can you make a video call so that I can talk to my kids?” Eliana asked.

Aleck had no reason to refuse. He did the video call and handed the phone to Aileen.

“Mommy!” Aileen greeted Eliana as soon as she took the phone.

“Sweetie, tell me, what’s going on?”

“Mommy, Silas’ great-grandfather had a heart attack. Can Adrian and I stay here with him?” Aileen asked with genuine concern in her voice.

Eliana saw the familiar bodyguards standing next to Aileen.

She knew for sure that her kids were with Earle.

Eliana actually didn’t want her children to have much contact with Earle.

But she couldn’t ignore the relationship between the twins and Earle. Moreover, now that Earle was hospitalized, Eliana didn’t have the heart to ask Adrian and Aileen to leave the old man at the hospital and come back home.

“Okay, you can stay. But you and Adrian have to behave well there, okay? Don’t cause trouble!”

Eliana finally agreed to Aileen’s request.

“Mommy, you’re the best!”

Aileen was overjoyed and she happily returned the phone to Aleck.

“Thank you for taking care of my kids. Please, remember to send them back early,” Eliana said earnestly to Aleck.

Then she hung up the phone.

At this very moment, Maurice walked out of the elevator.

Chapter 587

Maurice bolted out of the elevator and quickly stormed towards the ward. “Aleck, how is Grandpa doing?” he asked worriedly.

Aleck, who clutched his phone in his hand, looked up at Maurice in a daze.

All of a sudden, a question popped up in his head.

If the twins were Eliana’s children, how were they related to Maurice?

Was Maurice the father of the children?

It seemed like a wild guess to him. He didn’t dare to think about it more unless he had evidence to back it up.

Aleck was immersed in his thoughts and didn’t notice the expression on Maurice’s face shifting. His face grew more severe as time passed.

Maurice waited for Aleck to answer and thought his silence meant that Earle was doing worse than expected.

At the thought of this, Maurice turned to the ward. All of a sudden, a small hand gripped his.

Aileen looked up at Maurice with sympathetic eyes. “Mr. Maurice Moran, don’t be alarmed. Mr. Earle Moran is doing well!”

Adrian stood beside her and glared at Maurice.

That was the moment that Maurice noticed the twins’ presence. “What are they doing here?” he asked Aleck.

“Well… It’s a long story. I’m not sure if you’ll want to hear it. Your grandfather went to pick up Silas. He noticed that the three children got kidnapped, and then saved them. The situation distressed him, so he was sent to the hospital.”

Aleck explained the recent events as briefly as he could, and Maurice’s eyes darkened. Maurice could only imagine the kind of danger they faced.

“Kidnapped? Who were they trying to kidnap? Was it Silas? Or was it the twins?” Maurice grimaced.

Aleck hesitated for a moment before he answered. “I don’t think those people were after Silas,” he said with uncertainty.

His words implied that the kidnappers intended to target Aileen and Adrian.

Maurice’s thoughts raced in his head.

He thought he had concealed Silas’ identity well. If the kidnappers held Silas for ransom, they should have come after him from the start. Why would they go out of their way to abduct two other children?

That could only mean one thing. They intentionally targeted the twins.

Why would anyone go after them?

It became obvious to Maurice that the men wanted the twins to threaten Eliana.

Who would dare to do such a thing?

The Stone family recently learned their lesson for attempting to mess with him. They wouldn’t do anything for the time being.

Did Eliana have other enemies that he didn’t know about?

Maurice was bewildered by the situation. He looked down at the twins and tried to get some clues from them.

“Who do you think was behind your kidnapping today?” he asked the twins.

Aileen shook her head in reply. It seemed like she knew nothing.

Maurice turned his head towards Adrian and noticed the way the boy’s body tensed at the mention of the kidnapping.

Based on the expression on Adrian’s face, Maurice knew there was something the boy wasn’t telling him.

Maurice squatted so he could be at eye level with Adrian and looked into his eyes.

“Adrian, do you know something?”

Adrian guiltily looked away from his piercing eyes. He murmured, “I don’t know anything.”

Maurice could tell he was lying.

He could tell that the boy was hiding something, so he gently urged Adrian on.

“Are you sure you don’t know anything?”

Adrian was no match for Maurice no matter what tactic he tried to evade Maurice’s questions. He had no choice but to tell the truth.

Adrian was about to open his mouth and confess when Earle’s voice suddenly came from inside the ward.

“Maurice, come inside!”

Earle’s voice caught Maurice’s attention. Adrian breathed a sigh of relief.

Maurice took one last look at Adrian, who bit his lip tightly. He stood up and said to Aleck, “Please send the twins home. I don’t want their family to worry about them.”

Aleck could tell that Maurice had a close relationship with the twins and their mother. He instantly knew that Maurice was aware Eliana was the twins’ mother.

What could his relationship be with the children?

Chapter 588

Maurice was a little stunned by Aleck’s words. But when he came back to his senses, he immediately denied Aleck’s speculation.

“No,” he said firmly.

“Then who is the father of the twins…”

Aleck still wanted to ask something, but Maurice, who was already in a bad mood, interrupted him, “It’s none of your business. It has nothing to do with you. Just do your job well.”

Maurice didn’t need others to remind him again and again that the twins were not his children and that Eliana had once belonged to another man.

When Aleck noticed that Maurice already looked impatient, he had no choice but to shut his mouth.

After a while, Maurice broke the silence and added, “And don’t mention the twin’s identity to my grandpa. Especially now that he is in poor health and can’t bear any stimulation.”

“I understand, sir.”

Aleck understood it clearly.

Earle liked the twins so much. If he found out that their mother was the woman he hated, he would definitely not be able to accept it.

Besides, the twins’ biological father was still a mystery.

After making sure that Aleck understood what he meant, Maurice turned around and walked into the ward.

Earle was lying weakly in the bed with a pale face. Silas sat beside him, watching over him.

As soon as Earle saw Maurice, he immediately snapped, “What did you tell Aileen and Adrian outside? Do you think I didn’t see it? You are an adult, but you still don’t know how to get along with children. Why do you like making things difficult for them? Are you not embarrassed?”

Earle scolded Maurice fiercely.

But considering Earle’s health condition, Maurice didn’t dare to retort. He could only explain, “I just asked them if they knew who the kidnappers were.”

“Are you serious? They are just five-year-old kids. What can they know?” Earle tried his best to stand up for the twins. “The two kids have just been kidnapped. So you must know how much they’ve suffered. Why do you have to make things difficult for them? I’ll leave the matter to you. Go and find out who wants to hurt them.”

He couldn’t believe that someone in this city had dared to hurt his people. Didn’t they know him? They’d better find a good place to hide. Because if he found them, he would definitely make them pay a hefty price.

Silas also spoke up to defend the twins. “Uncle Maurice, don’t make things difficult for Aileen and Adrian. It’s not their fault. What if those bad guys only target them because they are too close to me? It only means that it’s me who implicates them, right?”

Maurice was rendered speechless after hearing their words.

He must admit that Aileen and Adrian were both adorable. But he still couldn’t help wondering what they had done to make his family defend and protect them.

“Okay, Grandpa. Rest well and recuperate here. You can rest assured that I will find out who the kidnappers are.”

Maurice agreed to do it not only to make Earle and Silas feel at ease but also for the safety of Eliana and the twins.

At this moment, Aleck sent Aileen and Adrian home. He was still full of doubts.

Eliana had been waiting downstairs for a long time. The moment she saw the two children get out of the car, she immediately rushed over and hugged them.

“Kids, how are you? Are you alright?”

“We are fine, Mommy. We are here now,” Aileen immediately answered. It seemed that her mood was not affected by the kidnapping.

In contrast to Aileen’s mood, Adrian looked preoccupied.

Eliana looked at Aleck and said, “Hello, Mr. Hinks. Can you tell me what happened today?”

Aleck then explained the whole story of today’s kidnapping incident to her.

“Kidnapping? Someone wants to kidnap Aileen and Adrian? But… How can that be?”

Eliana’s restless heart had already calmed down. But upon hearing Aleck’s words, she became anxious again.

“Yes, that’s right. We are really sorry that we haven’t caught the kidnappers yet. For now, please be more careful. We don’t know who the enemy is yet. The Moran family is doing their best to hunt down the kidnappers. And they will also send some people to guard you. So don’t worry so much,” Aleck assured Eliana to calm her down.

But Eliana was not in the mood to listen to him. She suddenly thought of how she was almost kidnapped before.

Could it be that the same person was behind both kidnappings? Since those people failed to abduct her before, they targeted Aileen and Adrian this time.

This terrifying conjecture sent a chill down her spine. She felt so cold all over that she felt like her blood almost froze.

Who was that person? Who on earth was targeting them?

Eliana felt like she was shrouded by a dark mist. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t clearly see the person hiding behind the thick dark fog. But she felt like that person was only waiting for a perfect opportunity to attack her.

Chapter 589

Aleck noticed that Eliana was lost in thought, so he didn’t disturb her. He gave her enough time to think.

It took Eliana a long time to come back to her senses.

Then she turned to Aleck and said, “Mr. Hinks, I really thank you and Mr. Moran for today. If the two of you hadn’t been there, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

She expressed her gratitude to Aleck with a pale face.

“You don’t need to thank me. Mr. Moran is very close to the two children, especially to Aileen. He thinks that Aileen looks like his granddaughter, so he cares about the two children so much,” Aleck explained patiently in a somewhat intriguing tone.

Eliana couldn’t help sighing in her heart. She knew why Earle felt so close to Adrian and Aileen. And that was because he and the twins were related by blood. Mixed emotions overwhelmed her.

Earle didn’t know that the twins were his great-grandchildren, but he still had a deep affection for them. He even saved them by accident. Eliana wondered what his reaction would be if he found out the truth about the twins’ identity.

Eliana looked at Aleck and said, “Mr. Hinks, if you need any clue about the kidnappers, you can contact me anytime. I will do my best to help you find them.”

Aleck was a little tempted. Actually, there was really something he wanted to ask Eliana. However, it was not about the kidnappers but the twins.

He pondered for a while. Finally, he decided to ignore Maurice’s warning.

“Miss Pierce, if you don’t mind, may I ask if the father of the twins is…”

But before he could finish his words, Eliana’s loud voice interrupted him.

“No! He is not.”

When she said this, she even wanted to cover the ears of the two children with a guilty conscience, but of course, she wasn’t able to do that.

“Miss Pierce…”

Aleck wanted to continue asking, but he was interrupted by Eliana again.

“Well, Mr. Hinks… Thank you for sending the kids back today. We’ll go inside now.”

She didn’t want to say anything to Aleck anymore, so she directly took Aileen and Adrian upstairs.

Aleck had no choice but to watch their receding backs. But he couldn’t help frowning as his confusion deepened.

Eliana didn’t even let him finish his words. And he had not mentioned Maurice’s name, but she already knew he was referring to Maurice. She immediately denied the relationship between her two children and Maurice.

Obviously, Eliana was trying to evade this question. Was she hiding something?

In the hospital, Maurice categorically denied that he was the twins’ father. But what if there was only a misunderstanding?

Aleck was an outsider, but he clearly knew what blood relationships and family affection were.

Maurice, Earle, and Silas all had special feelings for Aileen and Adrian. It was undeniable that the two children were lovable. But there must be a deeper reason for their affection.

One possibility was that the twins might be Maurice’s children.

And with Eliana’s strange reaction just now, Aleck confirmed his guess even more.

But at the moment, he had no evidence to prove it, so he could only keep it to himself.

Aleck had been working for Earle for so many years. Of course, the word “loyalty” had long been carved in his heart. So he decided to figure it out.

Then he thought of someone.

Corbin. He might be of help.

Corbin had been working for Maurice over the years, so he must know a lot of inside information.

At the thought of this, Aleck called Corbin directly.

At this moment, Corbin was with Maurice, looking for clues about the kidnappers.

He was confused to receive a sudden phone call from Aleck.

But Aleck was his mentor, after all. So after hesitating for a while, he answered the phone without telling Maurice.

“Aleck, what can I do for you?”

Aleck asked straightforwardly, “Corbin, is Mr. Moran the father of Eliana’s children?”

Corbin was so shocked that he was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

“Where did you get that information? Forget it. It’s not the time to be concerned about it. The twins are not Mr. Moran’s children. Eliana has already denied it personally.”

“I don’t believe it,” Aleck retorted excitedly. “There must be something wrong with that. Go check it carefully.”

“That thing…” Corbin paused for a moment before explaining, “Actually, Mr. Moran had asked Eliana the same question before. But she firmly refused to admit that the twins were his children. Mr. Moran has high self-esteem, so he believed what Eliana said and didn’t investigate. He even didn’t allow us to mention anything about it.”

After listening to Corbin’s explanation, Aleck rolled his eyes. He couldn’t help cursing, “Are you a fool? Do you really think Eliana was telling the truth? If you haven’t even thought about it, you’d better quit your job now.”

After saying this, he hung up the phone angrily.

Corbin fell into deep thought. At this moment, some clues he chose to ignore before surfaced in his mind.

The more he thought about the twins’ birth, the more suspicious he became. Was Jonathan really their father?

For the sake of Maurice’s happiness, he decided to find out the truth.

Chapter 590

That night, sitting on the edge of the bed, Eliana was reading fairy tales to Aileen and Adrian.

After such a hectic day, Aileen was so tired that she fell asleep early.

Adrian, meanwhile, couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that they were nearly kidnapped. He tossed and turned in bed and couldn’t fall asleep.

Eliana had just finished reading the story and was about to leave the room when a small hand suddenly grabbed hers.

“Mommy, I can’t fall asleep. Can you stay with me?” Adrian asked in a low voice, looking at Eliana earnestly.

Adrian was not the kind of child constantly asking for attention. So, Eliana couldn’t say no to him now.

“Okay, I’ll stay with you.”

So Eliana lay down in Adrian’s bed and held him in her arms.

“Is there anything bothering my darling baby? Tell me please,” Eliana said in a sweet voice.

Adrian buried his head in Eliana’s chest, hesitating to tell her or not. Finally, he decided to confess what he had done.

“Mommy, I’m sorry. What happened today was all my fault…”

“Honey, why did you say that?” Eliana asked in surprise.

With a guilty look on his face, Adrian explained, “Yes, it was all my fault. I was the one who secretly contacted Mr. Bowman. I think the men who tried to kidnap us today were sent by him. I’m sorry, Mommy. I didn’t think Mr. Bowman was such a bad person!”

Eliana was stunned at the mention of Jonathan.

She thought he was still abroad.

Did he come back?

Eliana was utterly shocked by what Adrian said. She couldn’t believe that it was Jonathan who tried to kidnap her and her children, let alone that it was Adrian who called him back.

Eliana said nothing for a long moment, lost in thought. Her long silence made Adrian feel more and more depressed, and tears welled up in his eyes.

“Mommy, did I get you in trouble?” Adrian asked in a sad voice.

Hearing her son’s words, Eliana quickly came to her senses. She stroked the little boy’s head and comforted him, “Don’t worry, honey. I will solve it. Everything will be fine. You don’t have to feel guilty. Mr. Bowman is not a bad guy. He probably just wants to see you, but he didn’t do it the right way.”

It took a long time for Eliana to calm Adrian down and let him fall asleep peacefully.

When Eliana finally left the children’s room, the anger she had been suppressing all along flared up, and her face darkened instantly.

Jonathan had helped her a lot. She could never pay him back for all he had done for her and the children. But how could he try to kidnap her kids?

While Eliana was lost in thoughts, her phone rang. She checked the caller ID and saw it was an incoming call from a strange number.

After thinking for a while, Eliana answered the phone.

“Hello?”

“Eliana…”

A deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, and Eliana almost immediately recognized the person speaking.

“Jonathan!”

“Absolutely! Long time no see. How are you doing recently?”

Jonathan’s voice was mixed with smile.

Just by listening to this voice, Eliana could already see in her mind the beautiful and gentle face of the man.

But when she thought about what he had done, it chilled her to the bone.

“Jonathan, why did you try to kidnap my children?” Eliana asked curtly.

She wasn’t in the mood to chat with him, so she cut to the chase.

“It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Why are you so cold to me? I just want to see you. I couldn’t reach you since you even changed your phone number, so I came up with this idea.”

It was only then that Eliana remembered she had indeed changed her phone number to avoid being called by Maurice.

She later on sent her new phone number to her close friends, except for Jonathan.

She just didn’t want to tell him her new number.

“So since you couldn’t find me, you decided to use my children as leverage to make me come to you?”

“Don’t be mad. You’re so lovable. I hired Kimora, but she lied to me in order to help you in the end.”

Jonathan’s casual words made Eliana’s hair stand on end.

He had found Kimora!

“What did you do to Kimora?” Eliana asked almost in a roar.

“Don’t worry. Kimora’s precious grandson and granddaughter had a small accident and she went to take care of them. There’s really nothing to worry about!”

Jonathan’s tone was extremely gentle, but Eliana sensed a strong threat in it.

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her surging emotions. “Jonathan, what on earth do you want from me?”

Eliana had known Jonathan for many years, and she knew that he was way more terrifying than Maurice.

The difference between Maurice and Jonathan was that, Maurice would never hurt her, let alone hurt her children.
