Chapter 383
All of a sudden, Maurice felt like a soft little creature grabbed onto his leg. He looked down and found Aileen staring up at him with a pair of twinkling eyes. She looked cute as a bunny and sweet as pudding.
“I’m so hungry, sir. May I eat one of those things?”
Staring at the delicious food on the table, Aileen sniffed and smacked her lips. The anxious look on her face melted Maurice’s heart.
His face softened as he glanced at her. Then, he picked her up, flattened his brows, and spoke to her in a soothing voice.
“You’re hungry? Didn’t Nana give you anything to eat?”
Obediently, Aileen allowed Maurice to hold her up. She put her arms around his neck.
“Yes, Nana took me and my brother to dinner, but… I’m hungry again.”
Aileen shyly lowered her head. She really wanted to leave a good impression on this handsome man.
Her cute little face reminded Maurice of Eliana, who was also anxious for food just now. Aileen was a mini version of Eliana, and she was so adorable that Maurice couldn’t refuse her at all.
“Okay. You may eat with me then.”
Maurice couldn’t help spoiling Aileen.
When Eliana saw the interaction between Maurice and Aileen, she was shocked. They looked just like a father and a daughter who loved each other so much.
No way!
She couldn’t let her children have too much contact with Maurice. Otherwise, her secret would be exposed, and she would be doomed.
Immediately, she took Aileen from Maurice’s arms.
“No, thanks. It’s not good for children to eat too much at night. It’s bad for their stomachs. Besides, most of the food on your table are too greasy. They’re not fit for children’s consumption.”
As soon as she finished her words, Maurice picked up the landline phone in the room.
“Hello. Please send some food for two children to Room 3561.”
Eliana couldn’t believe what she just heard.
Did Maurice just order children’s meals for Aileen and Adrian?
Was he the same Maurice she had known before? Because in her mind, he had always been cold- blooded and indifferent.
Since when did he care about children?
Things were getting weirder and weirder.
All the lights were on in the hotel room. Aileen was sitting on a chair and eating with relish, and Adrian was sitting next to her.
The boy was not interested in the hamburger or the French fries on the table. He just sat there and watched Maurice vigilantly.
Maurice also stared at Adrian unhappily.
The two of them stared at each other in almost the same posture. They were both frowning and had their arms folded over their chests.
Looking at them carefully, Eliana found that the drooping corners of their eyes were exactly the same.
Eliana began feeling extremely nervous.
Onlookers saw more than players. Maurice might not have noticed, but if someone else were present, he or she would most likely surmise that Maurice and Adrian were father and son.
Thinking of this, Eliana felt her heart skip a beat.
Adrian, on the other hand, just continued staring intently at the man in front of him. He’d been watching so carefully that his eyes had started to hurt.
Finally, he made up his mind to find out whether or not Silas’ uncle had been giving his mommy a difficult time.
However, when he was about to say something, the doorbell rang again.
It turned out that the waiter of the hotel had come to serve another order of ice cream for the two children.
Looking at the huge bowl of ice cream in front of him, Adrian swallowed, and his expression suddenly relaxed.
A hint of amusement flashed in Maurice’s eyes.
After all, Adrian was just a kid.
He would never be able to resist a bowl of sugary temptation. Adrian started to enjoy the ice cream, but he ate it in a strange way.
He picked up a few French fries on the table and dipped them into the ice cream. Then, he handed the French fries to Eliana.
“Here you go, Mommy.”
Coincidentally, Maurice and Adrian did the same thing at the same time, so Eliana found herself staring at two people offering her French fries dipped in ice cream.
The next moment, Maurice and Adrian looked at each other, and the staring contest started again.
They looked at Eliana at the same time. They both wanted her to choose their French fries.
The awkward scene started stressing Eliana out. She put on a wry smile and said, “Well… I’m not hungry, so you guys go ahead and eat your fries. Besides, I don’t like eating French fries coated with ice cream.”
“Try it.”
Maurice didn’t give up.
So Adrian didn’t give up either.
Looking at the French fries in front of her and the people trying to feed them to her, Eliana thought she was caught in a dilemma. Which one should she choose? novelbin
Damn it!
She really didn’t expect that choosing something to eat would be so difficult.
Looking at Maurice’s menacing eyes, Eliana was a little afraid, but she didn’t want to disappoint Adrian, either, so she was really in a pickle.
Fortunately, Aileen came in time to rescue her.
“Adrian, I want to eat, too!”
With that, Aileen leaned over and ate the French fries in Adrian’s hand.
What a sweet girl! She deserved to be her mother’s sweetheart!
Now Eliana could eat the French fries in Maurice’s hand without hesitation.
Eliana almost burst into tears as she chewed the French fries dipped in ice cream.
Life was really too difficult sometimes!
