Ch. 731..735: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 731-735
Chapter 731 He Is A Father And A Husband
"It's none of your business, is it? Branson!"
Maurice sneered as he directly called Branson's name.
Upon hearing Maurice call his name, Branson was stunned and it took him a while to come to his senses.
Anyway, he never thought he could hide his identity from Maurice forever.
"Since you know who I am, then there's no point in me hiding the truth from you.You should know that from now on, the White family will be the ones to take care of Eliana." Branson said so with a straight face.
Maurice stared at Branson with disdain and sneered, "How dare you say such nonsense? Eliana is a member of the White family, but you guys have never taken care of her.Now, you'd better stay away from her."
Branson's face darkened and he looked angry.
Maurice didn't let the man speak and said coldly, "Take a look at my ward.The person you are looking for is not here.Now, get the hell out of my ward."
"Maurice, this matter is far from over!"Branson snorted coldly and left.It wasn't until the ward had become completely quiet that Eliana carefully poked her head out from the quilt.
Seeing that there was no one was around, she breathed a sigh of relief.She then lifted the quilt and sat up on the bed.
"Thank you, sir."
Hearing Eliana address him in such a formal way, Maurice was confused.Her strange attitude scared him a little.
He couldn't help hugging her again and said nervously, "Eliana, don't make fun of me again, okay? Where have you been these days? The kids and I were all worried about you!"
Eliana was initially struggling to break free from Maurice's embrace.
However, at the mention of the kids, her eyes lit up instantly and she asked excitedly, "You know Aileen and Adrian? Where are they now?"
Maurice was even more confused.
"Of course I know them.What's wrong with you, Eliana?"
All Eliana was thinking about right now was the kids and she didn't even notice the confused look on Maurice's face.
She urged him, "Since you know where Aileen and Adrian are, take me to see them at once!"
Maurice clenched his fists and it took him a while to finally agree.
About five minutes later, the twins were brought back to the ward.
"Aileen! Adrian!"
Eliana rushed to her kids the moment she saw them and burst into tears.
Aileen and Adrian stood still, in a daze.
They felt like they were dreaming.
Was their mommy really standing in front of them? When they finally realized it wasn't a dream, they cried with excitement.
"Mommy! Where have you been? I missed you so much!" Aileen said excitedly.
"Mommy! I missed you so much too," Adrian said in turn.
Mother and kids were overjoyed to have met again and they hugged each other tightly, shedding tears of joy.
Looking at the three people hugging each other affectionately, Maurice felt sad.
Why was it so difficult for them to live a happy life? Eliana and the kids cried for a long time before finally calming down.
Aileen wiped away her tears and lifted her head from Eliana’s arms.She looked at Maurice and asked in a voice choked with sobs, "Dad, where did you find mommy?"
Upon hearing Aileen's words, Eliana was dumbstruck.
She looked at Aileen in confusion and stammered, "D-Daddy? Baby, why do you call him daddy?"
Aileen pursed her lips and said in confusion, "Because he is my father and your husband."
"My...My husband?"
Eliana’s eyes widened in shock.She took a deep breath and pointed at Maurice.
"You mean this man is my husband?"
"Mommy, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Eliana’s strange attitude really scared Aileen.
Maurice stroked the little girl's head and said softly, "Aileen, I'm sorry.I didn't find Mommy.She came back by herself."
"Uh...Are you really Aileen and Adrian's father?" Eliana asked Maurice seriously.
She still couldn't believe it.
Maurice stared at her silently for a while.He felt so disappointed.
"Eliana, the kids won't lie to you.I'm their father, and you're my wife."
How could that be? How could she not know she had a husband? That was too much information for Eliana to digest.
No! Wasn't Aileen and Adrian's father supposed to be the male prostitute she slept with five years ago? Eliana remembered that man looked very different from the handsome man in front of her! Could it be that...
This man lied to her kids?
Chapter 732 I'll Make Her Fall In Love Again
Eliana’s mind was full of doubts.
Although she lost some important memory after returning from abroad, she still clearly remembered what happened before.
The man with whom she had a one-night-stand was not the man in front of her.
How could he be the father of her kids? Seeing that Eliana was silent, Maurice guessed what she was thinking about.
He did his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart and said seriously, "Eliana, I'm Maurice Moran.I know you must be really confused right now, but this is not a suitable place to talk about it.Let's take the children home first.I'll explain everything to you once we get home."
"Mommy, let's go home with Daddy!" Aileen said excitedly.
Adrian also chimed in and urged Eliana, "Yes, mommy, let's go home!"
Eliana looked warily at Maurice and then turned to the twins.
Seeing the expectant look in their eyes, Eliana didn't have the heart to refuse.She still didn't trust Maurice who claimed to be her husband.
However, Branson was still looking for her everywhere, so she thought it might be best to leave with Maurice.
After thinking for a while, Eliana finally gave in.
"Okay, let's go home together."
So, that evening, Maurice went back to the apartment with the kids and Eliana.
Nana had been waiting for them there all day.She was so excited when she heard that Eliana was coming back.
As soon as Eliana opened the door, Nana rushed up and hugged her warmly.
"Eliana, you're finally back!"
When Eliana clearly saw the person in front of her, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed with joy, "Nana! Why are you here?"
Nana was overwhelmed by emotions and couldn't hold back her tears as she held Eliana tightly.
"I was so scared, you know,"
Nana complained in a low voice.
Eliana was at a loss for a while.
Thinking back to what happened at the hospital, she quickly comforted Nana.
"Nana, don't cry.Now I have something to ask you.Come with me."
Without waiting for Nana to reply, Eliana dragged her to another room.
When they got into the room, Eliana closed the door at once.
Nana was confused and she couldn't help but look at Eliana seriously.
"Eliana, where have you been these days? Who on earth took you away at the wedding? Did they hurt you? Tell me what happened!" Nana asked anxiously.
Eliana’s expression changed at the mention of a wedding.
What wedding was Nana referring to? Her mind was in a mess at the moment.
"Nana, don't ask any questions.Just tell me everything that has happened since I came back.I especially want to know what happened between me and Maurice!"
Eliana’s request deeply puzzled Nana.
"What's wrong with you, Eliana?"
Eliana was rather anxious and quickly replied, "Nana, I'll explain it to you later.Please answer me first!"
Although Nana was still confused, she told Eliana everything that had happened after Eliana returned from abroad.
"That's all?"
Nana nodded her head.
After listening to the whole story, Eliana was stunned.
How could she have such a complicated relationship with Maurice? She still had some doubts, though.
Seeing that Eliana seemed lost in thoughts, Nana was even more puzzled.She immediately went out to find Maurice.
"Maurice, Eliana is so strange.She just asked me what relationship the two of you have.What's wrong with her?"
Maurice had just finished reading some documents he had received.
With a complicated expression on his face, he said in a low voice, "I suspect that Eliana might have lost her memory."
"What?!"
Nana's eyes widened in shock.
Maurice's hands trembled slightly.He sighed in frustration and added, "I just received Eliana's medical report.It says that she has lost part of her memory.That day, she was saved by the White family, and they hid her so they could treat her secretly.That was why I couldn't find her."
"No wonder she couldn't remember you and asked me about you."
Nana was shocked and she looked at Maurice sympathetically.She knew more than anyone what Maurice had done for Eliana.
After everything they had been through, they were finally going to have a happy ending, but Eliana was taken away at the wedding.
Thinking of this, Nana felt deeply sorry for Maurice and she did her best to comfort him.
"Maurice, don't be discouraged.I believe that the love you and Eliana share can overcome any difficulty!"
With a bitter smile, Maurice replied, "Don't worry.I won't give up.Even if she has forgotten me, I will try to remind her of our past.Even if she still can't remember the past, I'm going to make her fall in love with me all over again!"
Chapter 733 Passion
While Maurice and Nana were talking, Eliana walked out of the room.
"Eliana!"
Maurice exclaimed in a low voice as soon as he saw her.
"Yes..."
Eliana lowered her eyes shyly.She didn't know how to behave with her strange husband.
Although now she knew everything that had happened between her and Maurice, Maurice was still a stranger to her.
"Eliana.I guess Nana has told you that this is your home! Stay here, okay?"
Maurice said in an almost pleading tone, staring at Eliana.However, Eliana shook her head subconsciously.
"No, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Nana interrupted her and urged her in turn.
"Yes, stay here, Eliana.I'll stay with the kids tonight so that you can spend more time with your husband."
Hearing that, Eliana felt goose bumps all over.
What did Nana mean by that? How could Nana leave her alone with Maurice? Nana gave Eliana a meaningful look.
Then, she turned around and took the kids away.
Eliana could only watch as Nana and the kids left.
Soon there were only Maurice and Eliana left in the living room.
Maurice's deep voice suddenly sounded.
"It's late.It's time to go to bed."
He took Eliana's hand and walked towards the bedroom.
However, Eliana's mind was in a mess at this moment.
She was so nervous that her palms became moist with sweat.She stepped back unconsciously.
"No! I'll stay in the guest room."
As she spoke, she pulled off her hand from Maurice's and was about to run away.
However, Maurice wouldn't give her the chance.He quickly stretched out his arms and held Eliana by the waist.
Regardless of her struggle, he dragged her to their bedroom.
"What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Eliana's face turned red as she struggled desperately.She was both angry and shy.
"Eliana, I will never let you go."
Maurice said stubbornly, holding her hands tightly.
Seeing that he was adamant, Eliana quickly thought of an excuse.
"Let me go! I...I need to take a shower.I can't sleep without taking a shower."
Maurice was stunned for a while and he finally let go of her hand.
"Go ahead.I'll wait for you."
Eliana was worried that he might change his mind, so she rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.
The impression she had of her husband was not a good one.He seemed difficult to get along with.
She had to take a shower to give herself more time alone.
Eliana tried to find a rubber band to tie up her hair.She instinctively opened the small locker beside the mirror and did find a bag of black rubber bands there.She also had no trouble finding the bath gel, the towels, slippers...
Eliana was shocked at how clearly she knew where everything was in the bathroom.
After taking a shower, she tried to muster up the courage to go out.
When she came out of the bathroom and found no one on the bed, she was really relieved.
But her relief was short-lived as the next second, she was held tightly from behind.
"Ah!"
Eliana was stunned and her whole body immediately stiffened.
Seeing that, Maurice chuckled.
"Don't worry.We are a couple."
Then he carried her and laid her on the soft bed.
Eliana was about to get up, but Maurice pressed her down and kissed her.
He kissed her on the cheeks, lips, neck, collarbone...
He even moved his hands all over her body, trying to arouse her desire.
"No...Let me go..."
Eliana wanted to push him away, but her body somehow went against her will.
Maurice, who was on top of Eliana, breathed heavily and his eyes turned red with passion.
Noticing Eliana's uneasiness, he comforted her in a gentle voice.
"Don't be afraid.Don't resist.Feel it with your heart.It's what you like."
At that moment, Eliana and Maurice totally succumbed to the desire that consumed them.
The desire had been suppressed for too long, and once it was aroused, they couldn't stop it.
Eliana indulged herself with Maurice's touch.His passion had made her lose her mind.
After a long time, it was finally over.
Lying in Maurice's arms, Eliana was exhausted.
She was also very calm now, as if the emptiness in her heart had finally been filled.
She looked up at the man’s delicate face.
At this moment, she really believed he was her true love.
He was her husband.
Eliana hesitated for a while and then asked, "Maurice, did we really get married after all we've been through?"
"Yes!" Maurice replied at once.
However, Eliana doubted it.
"I don't think it’s possible.According to Nana, your uncle Gerald is the person who made the Pierce family go bankrupt.I came back to find out the truth.The culprit has been found but he has not been punished.How could I feel at ease with you?"
Maurice kept silent for a while and just held Eliana tighter.
He rested his chin on her head and said in a low voice, "Eliana, come back to the Moran family with me tomorrow.I will tell you everything you want to know."
Chapter 734 Her Enemy Was Dead
Eliana got up very early the next day.She opened her sleepy eyes and looked around.
Maurice was already up and dressed, standing by the bed.
Today he wore a pure black suit and looked serious.
"you're awake! Go get dressed.I'll take you back to Moran family today," Maurice said seriously as soon as Eliana opened her eyes.
The atmosphere was a little heavy.
Eliana quietly stood up and quickly put on her clothes.
When she was done, Maurice took her to the Moran family as he said.
The moment Eliana entered the Moran family house, she felt the place was familiar.She couldn't tell why she felt this way, but she was almost certain she had stayed here before.
Although she had lost her memory, those feelings were still there.She felt a mixture of bitterness and sweetness.
At this moment, Eliana couldn't help thinking of what Nana had told her.
Perhaps what they told her was true after all.She and Maurice probably really loved each other before, but they were a miserable couple as his family were against their love.
After looking around the house for a while, Eliana found something wrong.
The Moran family was wealthy.
Why then was the decoration so simple? Confused, Eliana turned to Maurice and asked, "Maurice, why is your house decorated so simply?" Maurice said nothing.
He silently led Eliana to the center of the hall.
Looking at the name board on the center of the hall, he said calmly, "Eliana, that's what I want to tell you.God gave Gerald the punishment he deserved."
Eliana followed his gaze and saw white flowers and a black-and- white photo on a simple wooden table.
The man in the photo was Gerald.
"Gerald...He's dead?"
Eliana was shocked.
Maurice picked up a bunch of white flowers and put them gently next to the name board.
"Yes, he is dead.Today is his funeral."
There were very few people present at the funeral.
The hall was very quiet.
Corbin was taking care of the few people who had come to mourn Gerald.
Sean was standing next to Corbin and his head was still wrapped in gauze.He was also in the car during the accident, and he passed out at the moment of the collision.
Eliana stepped forward subconsciously and carefully looked at the man in the photo.
This was the man who was responsible for the bankruptcy of the Pierce family and the miserable deaths of her parents.
Now he was dead.
Eliana's feelings at this time were very complicated.She had just found the man who destroyed her family, but there was nothing she could do now to avenge her parents because her enemy was dead.
Far from making her happy, Gerald's sudden death left Eliana empty and confused.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Maurice walked up to her and held her shoulder tightly.
He explained, "I intended to force him to kneel down in front of your parents’ grave to confess what he had done.Alas, that would never happen!"
Eliana remained silent.
Although Gerald was her enemy, he was also Maurice's uncle.
So she couldn't say anything now.
As such, Eliana and Maurice just stood silently in front of the name board, each having their own thoughts.
Soon, Corbin came over and whispered in Maurice's ear, "Boss, Mr.Moran is waiting for you upstairs."
Upon hearing that, Maurice's eyes darkened.
He turned to Eliana and said seriously, "Please wait for me here.I have something to deal with."
Eliana nodded silently.
She looked up at Maurice and for some reason, she felt worried about him.
Seeing the concern in her eyes, Maurice chuckled and comforted her, "I'll be fine.Don't worry."
Maurice then turned around and went upstairs alone.
At this moment, Earle and Nancy were in Gerald's room.
The old couple looked tired.
Earle was sitting on the couch, his eyes closed, and his face was pale as he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Nancy, meanwhile, was staring blankly at a photo of Gerald in her hand.
The old woman looked sad.
Her hair got much grayer over the days.
The death of their son had obviously affected this couple so deeply that they seemed to have suddenly aged a lot.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm here."Maurice said calmly as he walked into the room.He silently waited for Earle's punishment.
Chapter 735 Let Go Of Hatred
Earle's eyes fluttered open a few moments later.His eyes were filled with sadness and helplessness.He even looked older than his age.
However, Earle was not as furious as Maurice had anticipated.He glanced at Maurice with bloodshot eyes and said in a soft voice, "Maurice, I know about everything.There's no need to be sad.None of this is your fault."
Shocked by his words, Maurice lowered his head in despair and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm very sorry."
As soon as Nancy heard Maurice's words, she squeezed the photo of Gerald in her hands and burst into tears.
Even though Earle didn't cry, it was obvious that he was very sad due to the sorrowful expression on his face.He sighed heavily and rose to his feet.
Then he stared at Maurice for a while in silence, before walking up to him and patting him gently on the shoulder.
"Everything that happened is your uncle's fault.You don't have to take the blame or be sorry about it."
Then Earle paused momentarily and asked, "Before he died...Did he say anything?"
Maurice remained silent.He couldn't stop thinking about the resentful expression on Gerald's face as life slipped away from him.He knew that Gerald would probably not regret anything at all.
But as he stared at the eager expressions in Earle and Nancy's eyes, he couldn't bring himself to tell them the truth.
Finally, Maurice sighed and decided to lie.He glanced at them and said, "Yes, he said that he regretted doing those things.He loved you and grandma very much.He hoped that you could forgive him and live
a good life in the future."
Then he quickly added, "Uncle died very quickly.He didn't feel the pain."
"Really? He said all that?"
Earle felt a sense of relief after he finished listening to Maurice.
Then he waved his hand dismissively.
"Maurice, I suggest that you take your grandmother out for now.I want to be alone for a while."
Knowing that Earle wasn't feeling very well, Maurice felt he couldn't leave him alone, so he immediately said, "No, I can't leave you here all by yourself"
However, Earle shook his head and said in a determined voice, "Well, I need some privacy.You can go downstairs and wait there."
"Maurice, I think we should leave him alone."
Nancy suddenly spoke.She wiped her tears and placed the photo on the table.
Then she walked to Maurice.
"Let's go.Give him some privacy."
Nancy understood Earle very well, since they had been married for a very long time.She knew him better than anyone else.
Seeing that he had no choice, Maurice stared hard at Earle for a while, before turning around and leaving the room with Nancy.
As they both descended the stairs, Nancy suddenly stopped.
"Is there any problem, grandma?" Maurice asked with confused expression visible on his face.
Nancy slowly slipped her fingers into Maurice's hand and held him tightly.
"Maurice, I know you have had a very hard time all these years...I know what happened to your father had nothing to do with the White family.It was probably the handiwork of your uncle.I have hated him for so many years, but your father was dead, and he is my only son left.I have been trying to hide from the truth, because I dare not confront it.I'm really sorry for making you and Eliana suffer so much..."
Nancy sobbed uncontrollably.
"Grandma, none of that matters now,"
Maurice said as he gently patted Nancy's hand.
"It's all over now.You have to let go of it now that he has passed on."
Even though he said those words to comfort Nancy, Maurice didn't really mean them.
Deep down in his heart, he knew he could never forgive Gerald.But now he had other things to concentrate on.
The dead was gone forever.
If he didn't let go of the hatred, it would only make everyone unhappy.
Maurice also reasoned that his dead parents would want to see him happy instead of holding on to his hatred for what his uncle had done.
Nancy was relieved that the problem that had caused her so many sleepless nights for years had finally been solved.
Suddenly, she turned to Maurice and asked anxiously, "Maurice, where is Eliana at the moment? Have you found her yet?"
A smile appeared on Maurice's face.
"Don't worry yourself about that, grandma.I have found her."
Stunned by his answer, Nancy exclaimed excitedly.
"This is good news, I'm glad that you have found her! Henceforth, Earle and I won't be poking our noses into your business anymore.Just stay with Eliana and take care of her, okay?"
Maurice nodded his head firmly.
"Don’t worry.I will never let her out of my sight again."
