Chapter 406
As the car brought them back, Eliana’s anger still hadn’t subsided. She was furious with Maurice and didn’t feel like talking to him at all. So she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
She didn’t expect to actually fall asleep. Unconsciously, she rested her head on Maurice’s shoulder.
Feeling the foreign body on his shoulder, Maurice lowered his head and stared at Eliana’s sleeping face. When he saw her frown and cringe miserably, he couldn’t get mad at her anymore.
If only she could be just as docile when she was awake!
Maurice gently held Eliana in his arms so she could sleep more comfortably.
“Sleep well, honey,” he whispered softly.
In fact, Eliana slept soundly and did not wake up even when they arrived.
After stopping the car, Corbin went to open the door for his boss. Great was his surprise when he saw his boss holding the sleeping young woman in his arms.
“Boss, Eliana…”
Corbin’s first reaction was to wake Eliana up, but Maurice immediately stopped him.
Maurice gently picked Eliana up in his arms and got off the car. He made a few steps towards the villa and then suddenly turned around to face Corbin. “Have the kids arrived home?” Maurice asked.
“Nana said they are home now,” Corbin replied.
Maurice nodded stiffly. Then, he lowered his head to the woman in his arms, and whispered softly, “Don’t worry now. Your babies have returned home safely.”
Corbin had never seen his boss show so much affection, and hearing his boss speak so affectionately to Eliana gave him chills.
He was really shocked.
It seemed that Eliana heard Maurice’s sweet words deep in her sleep. Her eyelids relaxed and she gently rubbed against Maurice’s strong chest. She seemed to sleep more peacefully now.
Maurice entered the villa and immediately rushed into a bedroom. He put Eliana gently on the bed and helped her take off her clothes.
All of a sudden, Eliana’s phone fell out of her pocket. The screen was full of messages and calls from Eli.
“Eliana, are you okay? I’m worried about you. Call me back when you get home.”
He still hadn’t given up on her?
At the sight of Eli’s multiple messages, anger surged up in Maurice’s heart. He had this feeling as if his favorite toy was going to be taken away from him.
He held Eliana’s phone firmly and stared at it coldly. He so wished he could throw that phone away so Eliana would never see Eli’s messages and calls.
However, Maurice managed to contain his anger and slowly calmed down. He threw the phone aside, and took off his clothes in turn before lying beside Eliana on the bed.
As he stared at the beautiful woman sleeping next to him, anger soon rose again in his heart.
Why could Eliana sleep so well while he was suffering alone?
Furious, Maurice took the pillow from under Eliana’s head.
However, Eliana was so exhausted and sound asleep that she didn’t seem to feel the pillow being lifted from under her head and continued to sleep peacefully. She just felt a bit uncomfortable in her sleep, so she subconsciously moved closer to Maurice and held him tightly.
Maurice was surprised by Eliana’s action. However, the feel of Eliana’s soft, warm body in his arms eventually made him feel much better.
Suddenly, Eliana began to talk in her sleep.
“Maurice, you bastard! You bullied me and my kids! You even kissed someone else! It’s disgusting…”
She talked in her sleep for a while.
Upon hearing what she said, Maurice’s expression gradually changed and he became morose again.
How could she curse him in her sleep?
This time, he made up his mind to wake her up.
But just as he was about to wake her up, Eliana hugged him even tighter.
She muttered again, “I want to clean those lips… Yes! I want to clean them every day…”
Hearing that, Maurice put down his hand and couldn’t help smiling.
He decided to let her sleep peacefully. At least now he knew she cared a lot about him.
With these thoughts in mind, Maurice reached out to hug her tightly, and his nose filled with the scent of her body.
It didn’t take long for him too to fall asleep with Eliana in his arms.
