Chapter 348
The car sped away, leaving Corbin alone behind.
Based on the present circumstances, his boss and Eliana had reconciled.
Corbin didn’t expect that Wyatt would be so good at mediating love affairs. He could even think of such a brilliant idea. He asked someone to pose as a wealthy woman and flirt with Maurice so that Eliana would intervene.
Corbin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly. He even waved at the car enthusiastically.
It was definitely a great development.
His boss would no longer torture him every day.
Meanwhile, inside the car, Eliana was dumbfounded when she saw through the rearview mirror that Corbin was waving at them excitedly.
Why was he so happy?
Didn’t he realize that Maurice had “kidnapped” her?
The car accelerated, and the scene outside became increasingly remote as it was approaching an unknown destination.
Eliana was sitting in the front passenger seat and feeling uncomfortable with the hair on the back of her neck standing up.
Where on earth would Maurice take her?
Her phone rang just as she was getting antsy.
Eliana was taken aback. She took out her phone and saw that it was a video call from the twins.
Should she answer it or not?
Eliana took a stealthy glance at Maurice and noticed that he was still focused on driving, so she answered the phone.
“Mommy! Where are you? Why haven’t you returned yet?”
On the screen, Aileen’s adorable face immediately appeared.
Looking at the child’s innocent and lovely face, Eliana instantly relaxed. Unconsciously, she smiled.
“What’s wrong, my dear?” Eliana asked in a soft voice.
“Aileen is a coward. She said the new room is too big for her. She is afraid and wants you to accompany her,” Adrian complained.
“No!” Aileen blushed. “Adrian, you’re talking nonsense. I’m not going to talk to you anymore. I… I just miss Mommy!”
“You’re right. You’re not afraid at all.”
Eliana felt sorry for Aileen and Adrian as she listened to them bicker.
Her children were too young. Surely, they would feel afraid if they were suddenly brought to a strange location and their mother was not by their side.
“Don’t worry, kids. I will…”
Eliana wanted to say that she would be back soon, but she abruptly stopped speaking. Looking at Maurice, who was obviously still in a bad mood, she dared not say anything about coming back.
“What are you looking at, Mommy? Is there anyone beside you?”
Aileen noticed Eliana taking a glance at her side.
“Are you with someone?” Adrian immediately showed his face to the screen. “Mommy, who is that? Is that your boss? Does he ask you to work overtime again?”
Eliana didn’t know how to explain it to them. So she just smiled awkwardly. “No. I’m alone.”
Adrian was skeptical. “Mommy, give the phone to the person next to you. I want to talk to him,” he said, frowning.
Eliana was afraid to hand over the phone to Maurice. She wouldn’t be able to get out of the car if Adrian said something that would infuriate Maurice again.
“Adrian… what did you say? The signal here is not good… I have to hang up. Bye!”
“Mommy!”
Eliana quickly hung up the video call, her heart pounding against her chest.
She took a glance at Maurice and noticed that he looked ever angrier.
What was wrong with him?
She didn’t do anything.
Maurice grimaced as he gripped the steering wheel more firmly.
He was in a very bad mood now.
Maurice had just heard the two children call Eliana “mommy”, and their childish voices sounded like a harsh reminder to him.
The word “mommy” kept ringing in his ears, reminding him that Eliana had been with another man during the five years he had been away from her.
It was Jonathan.
Suddenly, Maurice stepped on the brake and stopped the car.
Surprised, Eliana’s body leaned forward and she nearly hit her head.
“Maurice, what are you doing?”
Eliana was very terrified, her hand on her chest.
“Let me ask you, Eliana,” Maurice said, staring at her. “How did you meet Jonathan?”
