Ch. 736..740: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 736-740

Chapter 736 Let's Get Out Of Here

Maurice and Nancy were in the middle of a conversation when suddenly, something happened downstairs.

Eliana was standing in front of the name board when she unexpectedly heard a voice from behind.

"Eliana, what are you doing here?"

Eliana turned back and saw Branson walking briskly towards her.

Damn it! Why did he have to show up now? She knew she couldn't escape, so she put on a brave face to handle the situation.

"You shouldn't be here.Come back with me!"

Branson said urgently as he hurried towards her and grabbed her arm.He wanted to make Eliana leave.

Eliana got pissed off and released herself from Branson's grip.

"Why can't I be here? Is it because of Maurice?"

Branson frowned and asked, "You know him?"

"Yes! I know everything, Branson.Why didn't you tell me about Maurice?"

Eliana snapped at him.

"Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

She was seething with anger.

Branson responded in a serious tone, "I'm trying to protect you! You've been hurt enough by Maurice.Aileen and Adrian will not have a happy life with him.If you and the kids go back to the White family, I can better ensure your safety."

"What makes you think you can decide for me?" Eliana backed away from Branson, firm in her resolve.

"I don't need your protection."

Branson lost his patience when he realized it was impossible to get her on the same page as him.He was ready for the use of force.

"since you won't listen to me, don't blame me for being rude," he warned her.

Eliana narrowed her eyes, sensing trouble.

"What do you want to do? This is the Moran family!" she said loudly, making sure he was aware of where they were.

Branson scowled and ordered his bodyguard, "Get her!"

Just as the situation was about to escalate, Maurice suddenly appeared.

"Let me see who dares to do that!" he shouted as he came down the stairs.

He then rushed to Eliana and held her hand.

"Branson, this is the Moran family.It's bold of you to think that you can take my woman away!"

Branson snorted, "Seriously, Maurice? Your woman? Your new girlfriend was cozying up in your hospital bed the other day.And you have the nerve to talk about ‘your woman’?"

Both Maurice and Branson were fuming with anger.

Just then, Eliana raised her hand and spoke up.

"Actually, that girlfriend you're referring to is me."

Branson was taken aback, "Wait, have you regained your memory?"

Eliana shook her head, "No, not yet."

Branson breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Eliana didn't remember her past with Maurice and didn't have strong feelings for him, he still had a chance.

"Eliana, don't worry.It's not your fault that you don't remember.Once you do, you'll realize how much Maurice hurt you.It was he who got you kidnapped from the wedding by the Stone family.Aileen and Adrian were also deceived by him."

The sincere look on Branson's face got Eliana confused.

Did Maurice really hurt her? Was he truly a bad guy? The doubts were creeping in, and Elaina wasn’t sure whom to believe.She held her head tightly with a sad expression on her face.

Every time she tried to recall a memory, her head felt like it was being pricked with a needle.

Branson was becoming increasingly impatient.

"Eliana, forget about Maurice.Your real family is the White family.Let's get out of here!"

"Shut up!"

Maurice bellowed.He dropped Eliana's hand and held her face with both hands.

"Eliana, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Maurice, my head hurts!"

Elaina was covered in sweat.She clenched her face in pain as she felt like a stick was stirring in her head.

Maurice's heart raced with panic as he exclaimed, "Don't worry, I'm here for you.Let's get you to the hospital immediately!"

With Eliana in his arms, he turned to leave.

But how could Branson stand by and let Maurice take her away from him? He blocked their way and demanded, "Where do you think you're taking her? Put Eliana down!"

"Get out of my way!" Maurice was infuriated.

Blue veins became prominent on the forehead.He was about to lose it and give Branson a punch, but he held back since he was holding Eliana.

Seeing that he wouldn't back down, Branson threatened him loudly, "Maurice, if you take Eliana away, you'll be going against the White family.Do you really want to do that?"

Chapter 737 We Have A Lifetime To Create New Memories

Immediately Branson was done talking, Maurice stopped.

Branson thought his threat had done the trick.

"The Moran family is in trouble.The theme park project has stalled and stock prices are plummeting.If you mess with the White family, the Moran Group will suffer.Don't you care about that?"

Maurice's expression turned grave.He turned around to face Branson.

"I don't want Eliana to be caught between the dilemma with me and the White family.However, if you and your people want a fight, I won't back down," he said firmly before leaving.

Eliana had listened to their conversation.She was now leaning against Maurice's warm chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.She felt an overwhelming sense of relief.

Maurice brought her to the bedroom and immediately called the doctor to check her.

Maurice was so worried.

"Doctor, Eliana has been complaining of a headache.Should we be worried about anything?" He asked the doctor when he arrived.

After the examination, the doctor reviewed Eliana's medical records and furrowed his brow.

"Miss Pierce, you've suffered serious brain damage resulting in amnesia.It's best not to force yourself to remember things as it will only cause you more pain." Maurice's eyes dimmed as the doctor spoke.

Eliana felt a bit helpless.

"Doctor, are there other quick ways to get back my memory?" she asked the doctor, hoping for a positive answer.

Maurice immediately opposed Eliana.

"It's not necessary for you to remember the past." Eliana was perplexed.

"Why? Is there something you don't want me to recollect?"

"No."

Maurice squatted down and held her hand, looking at her with patience and tenderness.

"I will tell you all you want to know, Eliana.I swore to never lie to you.Those vows are still valid even if you don't remember them."

Eliana was startled.

"I can't just allow myself to lose my memory.Those are a part of me.Don't you want me to remember what took place between us?"

Maurice shook his head and stared at Eliana affectionately.

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember.We still have a lifetime to create new memories together."

Eliana was moved by his words.She had a feeling that the man in her memory was different from the man he was now, and Maurice must have changed a lot for her.But she was still troubled by what Branson had said earlier.

"What about the White family?"

Maurice stroked her face and assured her, "Don't worry.I will take care of everything."

In the evening, Eliana and Maurice ate with their kids.

While they ate, Silas spoke up hesitantly.

"Aun...Eliana, is everything okay?"

Maurice had told him that Eliana had lost her memory, which meant that she didn't remember him anymore.So, he felt too awkward to address her as ‘aunt’.

Silas was visibly nervous which made Eliana feel sorry for him.She thought he was a cute boy and liked him a lot.

"You are Silas, right? You are Maurice's nephew.If you want, you can call me ‘aunt’."

Silas’s face lit up immediately and he called her in the cutest voice.

"Aunt!"

Eliana responded with a smile, "Yes!"

Later, after they ate, the three kids took turns to shower and then went to bed obediently.

Eliana looked at the children as they slept soundly in the dim light of the small night lamp.She felt a happiness that she hadn't experienced in a long time.She stood quietly by their bedside until Maurice came over and called out to her, "Let's go."

Eliana was drawn back to the present.She gently tucked the children in before heading back to the room with Maurice.

Maurice held Eliana tightly on the bed and said softly, "you must be tired.Go to sleep now."

He was feeling sleepy himself and his eyes were slowly closing.But Eliana couldn't fall asleep.She tossed and turned in his arms, feeling like something was missing.

Maurice noticed that she was restless.He was troubled and asked her nervously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

"Did I wake you up?" Eliana blushed in the dark.

Maurice assumed that Eliana couldn't sleep with him next to her, so he kissed her on the forehead and got up from the bed.

"Go to sleep. I'll sleep in the study."

However, before Maurice took a step, Eliana tightly grabbed him by his clothes.

Chapter 738 Regain Memory

Eliana felt embarrassed.She looked at Maurice and asked hesitantly, "Maurice, is there anything we haven't done?"

Maurice looked puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

Eliana's cheeks flushed as she struggled to find the right words.She cleared her throat and said, "I mean...Have we really had good sex before?"

Maurice was taken aback.He stared at Eliana's delicate face and swallowed hard.

"Why did you ask that?"

Eliana bit her lip and her face grew redder.

"Well, I remembered something when we made love yesterday and..."

She didn't need to speak further.

Maurice's eyes darkened and he was consumed with desire.He pulled Eliana close, raising her chin and kissing her roughly.

The air was filled with so much tension for a moment.

Maurice finally released Eliana when she got out of breath.He rubbed her red lips and looked deep into her eyes.His eyes were filled with unbridled lust.

Maurice smiled tenderly and pulled Eliana closer.

"Don't worry.As your husband, it's my duty to help you remember everything."

Eliana's heart raced as he spoke, and she couldn't help clenching her fists.However, she didn't pull away from him.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.Her eyelids fluttered slightly which exposed the restlessness she was feeling.

Staring at his beautiful wife, Maurice's heart swelled with more desire.He leaned in and kissed her softly, whispering, "Just relax.I'll take care of you."

Maurice spoke in a soft tone that made Eliana feel relaxed.He gently laid her on the bed and kissed her passionately, exploring every inch of her body.

Eliana was too shy to open her eyes, but she could feel the warmth of Maurice's kisses all over her body.He kissed her scars, the back of her hand, and the scar left on her tummy when she had a caesarean section years ago.

"Please, don't touch that!" Eliana gasped for breath and tried to escape him, but Maurice pulled her back and continued kissing her.

There was no way she could leave.

After kissing her scars, Maurice held her in his arms and spoke to her with a shaky voice.

"Eliana, I messed up.I should have protected you better and spared you all that pain."

Eliana’s heart swelled with emotion.She slowly opened her eyes and saw that his eyes were heavy with regret.

"From now on, I promise to carry the weight of your scars.Your suffering will be turned into joy," Maurice vowed, looking at her with tender affection.

At that moment, Eliana felt intoxicated by his love.

A sense of relief washed over her and she let her guard down completely.It was almost surreal that there was someone out there who would love and accept her unconditionally.

This man was not just holding her body, he was embracing her soul.

Eliana felt like she was having a long dream.

In the dream, she and Maurice had gone through so much together.

They had gotten to know each other, misunderstand each other, and eventually fall deeply in love.

They had faced all sorts of obstacles but ultimately got married.

And then the accident happened...

The next morning, when Eliana woke up, Maurice was no longer by her side.

All of these memories were not just figments of her imagination.

The sweet and painful experiences they had shared together were real.It all came rushing back to her.

Eliana covered her face with her hands and cried tears of joy.She was a terrible wife for not remembering her own husband.

As she rushed out of the room, Eliana saw Maurice bustling about in the kitchen, with their three children lending a hand.

"Mommy!"

"Aunt!"

They were overjoyed to see her.

Maurice turned around and caught sight of his wife.

Smiling warmly at her, he said, "You're finally awake.Why don't you go freshen up before breakfast?"

Eliana was completely stunned.

Everything seemed like a dream.She was so lucky to have a loving husband and adorable kids by her side.

At that moment, all the difficulties she had faced seemed insignificant.It was as if nothing else mattered.

"Okay," Eliana responded as she got emotional.

Chapter 739 Her Apology

They had a happy breakfast.

After that, Maurice went to work.

There were a lot of things to deal with at the company.

After Maurice and the children left, Eliana was home alone.Her expression suddenly turned serious and she pulled out her phone to call Branson.She couldn't just sit around and do nothing.She had to protect her family! To do this, she must take the initiative to deal with the White family.

"Eliana!"

Branson was stunned when he saw an incoming call from her.He asked anxiously, "Have you finally figured it out?"

Eliana didn't answer, but said in a low voice, "Branson, we need to talk about something.Let's meet."

Branson was surprised by her request.He felt a little strange.

After a short while, he said, "Well, I happen to have something to show you.Come to the White family."

Eliana didn't want to waste time on the phone, so she agreed.She then got dressed and went straight to the White family.When she entered the living room of the White family villa, she was stunned by what Branson did.

"Eliana, look who I have caught for you."

Branson dragged a tied-up Harriet and threw her in front of Eliana.

Lying on the floor at Eliana's feet, Harriet wasn't as arrogant and overbearing as before.

Instead, she looked terrible now.

Harriet's head was lowered, with her long hair covering her face.

Eliana almost didn't recognize her.

Branson said arrogantly, "This woman is Harriet.She is the one who hurt you before.I brought her here today so that you can get even with her."

Seeing the woman so miserable now, Eliana didn't feel the joy she thought she would.She only felt a kind of pity for Harriet.

"What happened to her?" Eliana asked Branson.

Branson sneered, "She deserves it.She's just been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and has only a few months to live.But even that can’t make up for her crime.Maurice didn't punish her, but the White family won't let her go."

Eliana eyes widened in shock! Harriet had terminal liver cancer? Seeing that Harriet was motionless, Branson asked his man to pull her head up.

"Apologize to Eliana!" Branson ordered.

Harriet was forced to raise her head.Her face was pale and she looked really miserable.

After all, she was so humiliated now.

"Eliana...I'm sorry!" Harriet said, gritting her teeth.

Eliana remained silent.

"Anything else?" Branson asked Harriet in a cold tone.

"Eliana has lost her memory, so you'd better tell her the whole story!" he added, giving Harriet a threatening look.

Harriet trembled with fear and explained quickly, "Actually...It was Maurice who asked me to do what I did."

Eliana frowned and glared at the woman in front of her.

"Did you just say it was Maurice who asked to you to do it?" Harriet glanced at Branson with a guilty look.

Then she gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Yes! It was him! I had sex with him long before you got married.On your wedding day, Maurice asked me to take you away and kill you.When I realized that I could not kill you, I changed my mind and asked the White family to save you.It was all Maurice’s plan."

After saying that, Harriet closed her eyes, trembling all over.She didn't want to die or offend the White family, so she had to lie.

Eliana listened to the woman in front of her in silence.It seemed that Eliana believed what Harriet had said.

Seeing that, a hint of slyness flashed through Branson's eyes.He stood up and said seriously, "Eliana, now you know what kind of person Maurice is.He has been lying to you the whole time."

"Are you done?"

With a slight smile, Eliana lowered her head and looked at Harriet mockingly.

"Harriet, your acting is much worse than before."

Hearing Eliana's words, both Harriet and Branson were flabbergasted.

Then Harriet widened her eyes in horror, "Did you just say ‘before’? You remember everything?"

Eliana glared at Harriet coldly and spat, "Yes, I remember everything.I remember all the times you tried to harm me, but you always failed in the end.I also remember how determined Maurice has been to choose me every time.And the reason why I left on the wedding day was to protect my family.I think we're the same in that way at least."

 

Chapter 740 The Real Purpose Of Branson

"This is all your fault.It's because of you I'm in this mess.I hate you!"

Harriet shouted at Eliana.

Eliana's presence filled her heart with stubbornness and malice.

The Stone Family had fallen apart, and she had cancer.

How could the person responsible for all this get to be with the man she loved, and marry into a wealthy family? She despised her a lot! Harriet was consumed by hatred, all she wanted was for Eliana to suffer.She used all her might to stand up.

"I'm going to kill you!" she screamed as she ran into Eliana.

Eliana kicked her aside immediately.

"Why are you still so stubborn, Harriet?" Harriet was on the floor with blood-shot eyes.She tried to get up to attack again, but her body was too weak.

Elaina watched her coldly.

"Because I hate you so much! You deserve to die! Fuck you! Kill me if you dare! Otherwise, I'm going to murder you and your children." Harriet had gone nuts.She continued swearing at Eliana.She looked deplorable and vile.

Eliana wasn't in the mood to entertain her antics anymore.

"Harriet, you are dying.Cancer is already killing you, so I don’t have to do anything.In fact, I might pay someone to keep you alive so you can suffer longer."

"Eliana! You bitch! I won't let you get away with it, even if I die!" Harriet seemed crazy.

Branson's men took her away.

Eliana and Branson were the only people left in the room.

Branson realized that he couldn't trick Eliana any longer.

"Elaina, let me tell you what happened after your memory loss," he said hurriedly.

"No," Eliana interrupted coldly.

"I have recovered my memory. I don't need an explanation from you. I won't believe a word you say."

Branson didn't stop.

"I'm doing this for you. Leave Maurice, and the White family will acknowledge Aileen and Adrian."

"My children don't need the White family's acceptance. They belong to the Moran family and I belong to the Pierce family. Since the White family didn't come through for me before, please don't harass me in the future," Eliana warned him harshly. She didn't appreciate what Branson said at all.

Branson's expression darkened.

"Eliana, do you have to be so harsh?"

"I'm not done talking," Elaina said immediately. She didn't have time to dilly-dally with Branson.

"I know what you want.I will give up all my property in White family as compensation for saving me.Are you satisfied now?"

Branson's expression darkened further.

There was no time to pretend to be sad.He felt ashamed as his secret was revealed.

Eliana knew why Branson had insisted on escorting her back to the White family.Because her mother had left her some property as inheritance in the White family.

When the Pierce family fell apart, the White family didn't show them support.

Now, the White family was doing their best to prevent her from marrying Maurice.

Elaina was convinced that there was a motive behind this.

"Am I correct?"

She was so direct that Branson was speechless.

In fact, Elaina was right.

If she had a good rapport with the White family, they would not care that some of their property went to her.But her engagement to Maurice, a descendant of their long-time rival, the future master of the Morans, made them uncomfortable.

They hated to think that their money would be used in any way for the Moran family.

"Seeing that you knew my motive all along, I apologize for disappointing you."

Branson sighed.

Eliana laughed at his apology.She had no expectations whatsoever, so she was never disappointed.

"Don't bother! I know you did all these to protect the White family.As for my Mother's shares, I will let them go.Call a lawyer and ask them to draw up a contract.I will sign it, and you can get it notarized.Let's end this struggle immediately."

Elaina's determination was clear on her face.

Branson knew that she had made up her mind and would pay no attention to his advice.He shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, as you please," he said.
