Ch. 596..600: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 596-600

Chapter 596

In the end, they weren’t able to reach an agreement.

Fortunately, Jonathan left without doing anything.

Eliana was relieved at how things turned out.

That afternoon, after a hectic day, Eliana walked out of the factory and noticed Jonathan’s blue Ferrari parked by the door.

“Eliana, get in. I can drive you home,” Jonathan greeted her as he gently rolled down a window.

Had he been waiting for her all this time?

“No, thank you. I can get home by myself.” Eliana immediately refused.

“I haven’t seen Adrian and Aileen for a while now, and I wanted to come and see them. It’s my fault why everything happened yesterday. I feel like I need to apologize to them in person. Truth is, I even bought an apology gift for them,” Jonathan explained.

He turned sideways to reveal a gift box sitting beside him.

Eliana recalled the sad look on Adrian’s face when he confessed everything to her last night.

Adrian was hurt by the fact that Jonathan had used him.

She hesitated for a moment before she agreed.

“Alright.”

She opened the door and got into the back seat. Jonathan was the one who drove her home.

The atmosphere on the ride home was quiet and comfortable. He didn’t mention the offer he made to her that morning.

They slowly made their way to Eliana’s place. Right as they were about to arrive, an accident occurred. A red car suddenly rushed out from the other side of the road and was about to crash into them.

“Watch out!” Eliana exclaimed, but it was too late. The car smashed into them.

Both cars collided violently, making a deafening sound.

The force of the impact was too much for Eliana. A second later, she blacked out.

Right as she was about to lose consciousness, she vaguely heard the sound of glass cracking.

When the car accident happened, Nana had just picked the kids up from school. They were on their way home, and not too far away from the accident.

Maybe there was the invisible bond between mother and child; the moment the accident happened, Adrian and Aileen raised their heads.

“Adrian, I feel like I heard Mommy’s voice just now,” Aileen murmured as she gripped Adrian’s hand.

Adrian’s brows furrowed in response. He also felt like he heard their mother’s voice moments ago.

The two of them gazed at their surroundings, but they didn’t see Eliana anywhere.

Maybe they were hallucinating her voice.

Nana asked a passerby what happened when she noticed a crowd gathering not too far away from them.

“Excuse me, do you know what happened here?”

“I think there was a car accident ahead. It looks like it’s serious. How terrible!”

A car accident?

That must have been frightening.

Nana was afraid the twins would be scared when they saw the bloody scene, so she pulled them back in a hurry.

When they passed the car accident, there were so many people gathering that they didn’t see anything.

Moments later, Aileen was restless. She couldn’t help thinking about the accident and kept looking back at the scene where people were crowded.

When Nana noticed Aileen’s reluctance to leave, she carried Aileen up in her arms so she wouldn’t run towards the accident.

“Let’s go home now. Your mommy might be home already.”

As soon as Nana mentioned their mother, the two children quickly followed her home.

However, no one was there when they arrived.

Nana didn’t think too much of it, but as time passed, Eliana still wasn’t home.

She had a feeling that something was wrong.

Did something happen to Eliana?

As Nana waited, she grew more anxious. After a while, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Whenever Eliana went missing, it always had something to do with Maurice.

Nana quickly called Corbin.

As soon as Corbin answered, Nana questioned, “Did your boss go crazy again and ‘kidnap’ Eliana?”

Chapter 597

When Nana contacted Corbin, Corbin was waiting for a paternity test report in the hospital.

He had been drowsy, but when he heard Nana’s words, he immediately sobered up.

“What did you say? Eliana is missing again?”

Before he could ask her more questions, the doctor came out of his office with the paternity test report.

“Mr. Jenkins, here are your results.”

At that moment, Corbin didn’t know where to focus his attention. He immediately put down his phone before he took the results from the doctor. Corbin took a deep breath to steady himself before he slowly opened the envelope.

The report said that Maurice and the children were related.

Oh my goodness!

Maurice was the father of the twins!

They were his biological children! Wait… Of course, Maurice was the father!

Corbin froze when he finished reading the results. He couldn’t do anything and forgot everything else on his mind.

Nana shouted at him through the phone as she demanded his response.

“Corbin? Corbin! What’s going on with you? Say something!”

“Mr. Jenkins, there’s a person on the call with you,” the doctor pointed out awkwardly.

Only then did Corbin realize he was still on the phone with Nana.

What were they talking about moments ago?

Oh, he remembered! Nana mentioned that Eliana was missing.

Corbin hurriedly picked up his phone and replied, “Nana, is Eliana missing?”

Nana was furious. “Yes, she is! It’s getting late, and she hasn’t come home or called. Tell me the truth, was Maurice behind this?”

“Of course not. It can’t be him.”

Corbin rubbed his forehead to ease the migraine that was starting to form.

He discovered moments ago that the twins were Maurice’s kids, and now Eliana was missing.

He demanded, “Nana, tell me everything that happened today!”

Nana was flustered when she heard that it wasn’t Maurice.

All she knew was that Eliana met up with Jonathan that day.

Did Jonathan take her somewhere?

In the end, Nana had no choice but to confess that Eliana was with Jonathan earlier that day.

Corbin was shocked when he heard the news. Did Eliana run away with him?

How would he explain this to Maurice? The twins’ mother disappeared!

“Nana, stay at home with the children. I’ll figure something out. Call me if you hear anything else, okay?”

When he realized how alarming the matter was, he immediately ended the call and rushed to Maurice.

The two of them were in the same hospital. By the time Corbin ran to him, Maurice was about to leave Earle’s ward.

As soon as Maurice left, he ran into Nancy in the corridor.

“Grandma, it’s getting late. You should be heading to bed now,” Maurice said with concern.

“Are you fighting with my grandfather again?” Nancy couldn’t help but tease, “I know you bicker with him every day, but deep down, you care about him.”

Maurice kept silent. Her words embarrassed him.

At that moment, Corbin rushed over to them.

“Sir!”

The moment he saw Nancy, he clamped his mouth shut.

He couldn’t reveal the truth about the children in front of her.

Maurice frowned when he noticed the anxious expression on Corbin’s face.

“What is it?”

“The matter can wait,” Corbin said as he shook his head with embarrassment.

He wanted to wait until Nancy left before he reported to him. Nancy smiled knowingly at the both of them and said, “I have to tend to your grandfather. The two of you can talk now.”

A moment later, she turned and entered the ward.

As soon as Nancy left, Corbin was about to hand the paternity test results to Maurice when he suddenly hesitated.

“I have good news and bad news for you. Which one would you like to hear first?”

“Stop beating around the bush.”

Without another word, Maurice grabbed the report from Corbin’s hands and opened it. He quietly read the results.

“Adrian and Aileen are my children?”

Although Maurice had expected the results, it still overwhelmed him with joy when it was confirmed.

The twins were his! They were his children with Eliana!

Nothing could’ve surprised him more than this.

That meant that Eliana had never had another man.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel lost.

He suddenly found himself with two five-year-old twins.

Maurice never expected things to turn out as they did.

Even as he held the results in his hands, he had a sort of weird sense of unreality.

Was he really a father?

Chapter 598

aurice was lost in his thoughts, but Corbin’s words brought him back to reality.

“Boss, that’s the good news for you. However, I also have some bad news. Promise me you’ll stay calm when you hear it. I was informed about Eliana’s disappearance today, and I heard it was after she met with Jonathan.”

“What did you say?”

Maurice’s expression hardened when he heard the news.

“Nana was the one who told me. She called me to say Eliana hasn’t come home since she met up with Jonathan. Boss, do you think…”

Corbin didn’t dare to continue his sentence.

“We need to go!”

How could Maurice keep a level head after hearing this news?

They ran to the parking lot and drove to Eliana’s place.

By the time they arrived, the twins were already asleep. Nana was alone in the living room, waiting anxiously.

All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. Nana was pacing back and forth in the living room, and the sound startled her. Without hesitation, she opened the door, thinking Eliana finally came home.

“Eliana… Wait a minute. Maurice?”

When she opened the door, Maurice’s stormy eyes greeted her. The look on his face made her tremble with fear.

One look in his eyes and you could tell. He wasn’t happy at this moment.

Nana’s first instinct was to slam the door shut in his face, but she failed to stop Maurice from coming in.

He immediately pushed the door open and stormed inside.

“Where are my children?”

Nana was alarmed by his words and exclaimed, “What are you saying? Your children? What are you doing here? You act like this is your house! If you’re not careful, I’ll sue you for trespassing!”

Maurice resembled a volcano that was about to erupt. Corbin gently guided Nana away from Maurice because he was worried she would trigger him.

“Nana, stop fooling around. We know that the twins’ father is Mr. Moran.”

He handed the paternity test report to Nana as proof.

Now that there was evidence, Nana couldn’t deny the truth even if she wanted to. The only thing she could say was, “It’s getting late. You shouldn’t go upstairs and wake the children. I had a hard time putting them to sleep. You can’t scare them!”

At that moment, Nana was more concerned about Eliana’s safety than the children.

“Maurice, I think you’re aware Eliana met up with Jonathan today. I can assure you that she would never leave the children behind, even if she met with Jonathan. There’s no need to question whether she would run away with him.”

Nana wanted to continue defending Eliana, but the furious expression on Maurice’s face halted her.

Corbin grabbed Nana’s arm and warned, “Nana, please stop.”

Couldn’t she tell that Maurice was on the verge of snapping?

Maurice considered her words for a moment.

Even without Nana’s explanation, he knew Eliana wouldn’t do such a thing.

The children were the most important thing to her, and she wouldn’t leave them no matter what happened.

He came over to protect the twins in case something unexpected happened to them.

Before he entered the house, he had observed the surroundings on purpose but didn’t find anything unusual.

It meant there wasn’t a kidnapper who planned to take Eliana away.

There was only one possibility left to consider. Perhaps something unexpected happened to Eliana, which prevented her from coming home.

The most likely situation would have been…

“Corbin!” Maurice suddenly ordered, “Check all the hospitals! I want you to check the nearest hospitals one by one!”

Understanding dawned on Corbin, and he immediately left the house.

When Corbin left, only Nana and Maurice remained in the living room.

It was late into the night. The thought of staying with Maurice under one roof made Nana nervous.

“Mr. Moran, why don’t you go home and get some rest? I’ll inform you immediately when I hear anything.”

“There’s no need for that. I’ll wait until the children wake up.”

He sat down on the sofa and leaned bank. After that, he closed his eyes to get some rest.

Since he found out the children were his, he’d been restless. As soon as he allowed himself to relax, fatigue washed over him.

It had only been two hours, but he felt like so much had happened.

Nana didn’t dare to oppose him.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t sleep while he was there.

“I can wait with you.” Nana sighed wearily and sat down on the sofa. She chose the spot farthest away from him.

For a moment, the atmosphere inside the living room was somber.

All of a sudden, Maurice broke the silence. “Nana, do you know why Eliana kept the truth about the children from me?”

Chapter 599

Nana broke out in a cold sweat.

Maurice’s question wasn’t an easy one to answer. Once she failed to give him a reasonable answer, her friend would be in trouble.

Nana racked her brain for an explanation that would satisfy his curiosity.

“Mr. Moran, I’m aware Eliana withheld the truth from you. I believe she had her reasons for doing so. However, I also know it brings her great joy whenever you visit Aileen and Adrian. She never prevented you from seeing them.”

Maurice listened with a blank expression on his face.

Nana couldn’t tell what Maurice was thinking at that moment. She squirmed in her seat on the sofa.

Inside the bedroom, Aileen struggled to fall asleep. She had nightmares about Eliana all night.

She seemed to have sensed something was wrong and woke up sobbing.

“Mommy! Mommy!” Aileen wailed as she ran out of the room.

“Nana! Please find Mommy!”

The two adults in the living room stoop up when Aileen scrambled into the room.

Maurice immediately embraced the crying girl. He whispered soothing words as he patted her back.

“Aileen, don’t be afraid. Look at me. What’s troubling you?”

Aileen raised her head from Maurice’s arms with tears streaming down her face.

“Mr. Moran, please save Mommy. I think she’s in danger. I had a dream she was in a car accident. It was terrible!”

Aileen cried as she clutched Maurice’s clothes. His heart ached as he watched her cry.

Maurice reached out and gently wiped the tears from the girl’s face. In a soft voice, he said, “Don’t cry, Aileen. It was only a nightmare, and you’ll be okay. I’ve sent someone to look for your mommy. Don’t worry. She’ll be home soon.”

“Is that true?”

Aileen took a shaky breath to stop herself from crying.

Maurice patted Aileen’s head affectionately and murmured, “Of course, I wouldn’t lie to you.”

“Can we pinky swear on it?”

“Alright.”

Maurice entwined his finger with her little one.

The girl calmed down after a few minutes. Maurice held her tightly in his arms.

“Aileen, I promise I’ll bring your mommy back to you. Go back to sleep, okay? You still have to go to school with Adrian tomorrow. Does that sound good?”

“Okay. Thank you, Mr. Moran.”

Aileen rested her head on Maurice’s shoulder and sagged in relief. Moments later, she fell asleep again.

Maurice cradled her in his arms as she slept. Her body was tiny and soft, and she breathed evenly.

Maurice’s heart melted. At that moment, he felt happiness.

Moments later, Adrian also woke up. He opened his eyes and ran out of the room when he noticed his sister was gone.

As soon as he walked into the room, he saw Aileen asleep in Maurice’s arms.

What was the bad guy doing here? Why was he holding Aileen?

Adrian’s brows furrowed as he asked, “Why are you here?”

“Please be quiet. I don’t want to wake your sister up,” Maurice reminded Adrian in a low voice. He cradled Aileen with one hand and gently stroked her back with the other.

Adrian could tell something was wrong.

Maurice was acting strange.

He’d always been nice to Aileen, but he treated her unusually well today.

Maurice bent his head to look at Adrian and noticed the dark circles under the boy’s eyes. Maurice asked, “Are you also worried about your mommy? There’s no need to worry. I’ll bring your mommy home safe and sound.”

Adrian felt flustered by the fact that Maurice knew what troubled him. He argued stubbornly, “It’s none of your business. I’ll protect my mommy on my own!”

Maurice always felt that Adrian had a fiery temper.

Now, he smiled fondly at him. Adrian was his son. The boy reminded Maurice of himself when he was younger. Both of them were stubborn and hated showing weakness.

Silas was similar to Adrian in that way too.

However, Silas also inherited his mother’s delicate nature and sensitivity. Adrian, on the other hand, was decisive and courageous.

Maurice glanced down at his watch. “It’s still early. You still have to go to school later. Go back to sleep.”

He entered the twins’ bedroom and gently placed Aileen back on her bed. Adrian awkwardly followed Maurice into the room.

“I’m warning you! Don’t do anything bad! I’ll keep an eye on you.”

Adrian glared at him suspiciously.

“I know,” Maurice chuckled.

As he watched the two children, Maurice felt unused. He had two children with Eliana!

Chapter 600

At dawn, Maurice sent Nana away and took the children to school himself.

When he dropped the twins off at the gate of the kindergarten, he ran into Silas.

“Uncle Maurice?”

Silas was stunned when he saw Aileen and Adrian get out of Maurice’s car.

Maurice walked towards Silas with a serious look on his face, holding the two children by the hand. “Silas, take good care of them, okay?” Maurice said to his nephew as he entrusted Aileen and Adrian to him.

Silas was even more stunned. How come his uncle cared so much about Aileen and Adrian?

“Uncle Maurice, why are you the one who took Aileen and Adrian to school today? Where is Miss Pierce?” Silas asked confusedly.

Maurice didn’t want Silas to worry about Eliana, so he didn’t tell Silas the truth.

“She has business to take care of. She asked me to take care of her children for a few days.”

Silas was still confused. However, he saw that Maurice had no desire to talk about these things, so he gave up asking more questions.

Once Maurice returned home, Corbin also returned.

Corbin’s serious look boded no good. Maurice felt his heart sink.

“Mr. Moran, Eliana might have had a car accident…” Corbin paused for a while. He swallowed and added, “A young woman was admitted to intensive care at H Hospital. It could be Eliana. According to

the doctors, she hit her head hard against the car window during the accident and her face has been seriously damaged…”

Maurice wasted no time and rushed to his car. He had to go to the hospital right away. Maurice was restless as his car sped down the road.

The moment Corbin informed him that Eliana had been in a car accident, his mind went blank. At this moment, the only thing he wanted was to see Eliana.

He wanted to see her right away!

Slowly, Maurice’s restlessness gave way to remorse.

He thought back to all the things he had done to Eliana. His heart sank and he had trouble breathing.

“Hurry up!” he ordered Corbin.

Every second they spent on this damn road, Maurice felt more nervous.

A few minutes later, Corbin parked the car in front of the hospital. Maurice rushed out of the car and Corbin took him straight to see the woman who seemed to be Eliana.

“She’s in the ward ahead…”

Maurice didn’t give Corbin time to finish his words and he rushed into the ward.

In the ward, a dying woman wrapped in gauze was lying on the bed. Only her eyes were visible. Her weakly rising and falling chest was the only indicator that she was still alive.

Maurice couldn’t believe that this dying woman was Eliana, who was always full of life and never stopped pissing him off.

“Eliana…”

Maurice’s throat was dry, and it took him a lot of effort to call her name. His legs felt weak.

He moved slowly towards the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed. He didn’t have the heart to touch the woman’s bruised body.

When Maurice spoke again, his voice was trembling. “Eliana, don’t be afraid… No matter what happens, I will stand by you. When you recover, I will take you home and our family will be reunited. Okay?”

Tears welled up in the woman’s eyes.

It was so sad.

The next second, a man rushed into the ward. It turned out he was the woman’s family.

“Who are you? What do you want to do to my grandmother?” The man stared at Maurice as if he was a human trafficker. “Answer me, are you going to abduct my grandmother for ransom?”

“Who are you? What do you want to do to my grandmother?” The man stared at Maurice as if he was a human trafficker. “Answer me, are you going to abduct my grandmother for ransom?”

Maurice was stunned.

His sadness suddenly changed to shock.

What was going on? Wasn’t this woman Eliana?

Since the woman was wrapped like a mummy, Maurice only relied on Corbin’s words to assume that she was Eliana.

Now when he calmed down, he looked at the woman carefully. Despite the bandage, he could notice wrinkles at the corners of the woman’s eyes. Obviously, she was a very old woman.

She couldn’t be Eliana!

“Corbin!” Maurice turned his head and glared at Corbin, his eyes burning with anger.

Corbin felt extremely embarrassed and lowered his head immediately.

He had wanted to tell Maurice that they were in the wrong room. But Maurice was so overwhelmed with grief that Corbin couldn’t muster the courage to interrupt him when he declared his love to Eliana, even though it was the wrong woman.

Corbin therefore chose to keep quiet.

Maurice also understood that he had just taken the wrong ward.

“What are you waiting for? Take me to her ward!” Maurice ordered coldly.

“Okay!”

Corbin quickly led the way.

They left the ward at once and headed for the right ward.

In the hallway, a nurse was pushing a wheelchair on which sat a woman whose face was wrapped in bandages.

That was the woman Maurice was looking for, and he just walked past her.
