Chapter 515
Eliana, Maurice, and the three children played enthusiastically in the amusement park.
Riding the merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, and pirate ship, they were all shouting their hearts out.
Maurice didn’t like having the three kids on his date with Eliana. Nonetheless, he made sure that the children had fun. And now, he was enjoying himself as well.
Watching Maurice with the children, Eliana couldn’t help but think that he would be a wonderful father— and responsible one, too.
The thought of Aileen and Adrian being unable to enjoy the father love anymore made her sad.
After they had dinner, the children were worn out. Eliana took Adrian in her arms and so did Maurice with Aileen. It was only Silas who could barely stand on his own.
Corbin drove over to pick them up.
Eliana and Maurice got into the car with the children in their arms.
The atmosphere in the car was very warm. The ambiance would only be interrupted by soft snores from the children.
Maurice felt warm in his heart seeing Eliana alternately stroking the twins’ foreheads. He felt that now was the time to ask her.
In a low voice, he said, “Eliana, I remember that you seemed to date me because you had to tell me something. Would you care to tell me now?”
Caught by surprise, Eliana froze but only for a while. She then raised her index finger to her lips to hush Maurice. “The kids are sleeping. Let’s not disturb them.”
Maurice glanced at the three sleeping children. He nodded, understanding Eliana wasn’t prepared to tell him now.
Anyway, he thought that he and Eliana could have a good talk some other time. Whatever it was that Eliana wanted to tell him, he thought that they would have time, a lot of time to amply talk about it.
Eliana took a deep breath and then let it escape in a relieved sigh.
In the next second, both her physical and mental fatigue overwhelmed her. Eliana subconsciously rested her head on Maurice’s shoulder.
She felt Maurice stiffen for a brief moment. And then, he relaxed and let her lean against him. Eliana couldn’t help but smile.
When the car passed down the tunnel, Maurice saw their reflection in the window. He was jolted by what he saw. They looked like a family.
There he was, the tall and reliable father… Eliana, the gentle mother… And Adrian, Aileen, and Silas, the three adorable children.
An idea popped into his head. Maurice thought he might be willing to live with Eliana and her kids should Jonathan didn’t want them.
Maurice was known to be scrupulous in living his life. Yet, here he was, thinking to accept other people’s children for her—Eliana. And she, Eliana, still didn’t know about it.
At this point, a certain sadness swept over her.
She leaned on Maurice’s shoulder and felt her tears flow down her cheeks.
In no time at all, the car arrived at the Pierce family’s house.
Maurice helped Eliana take the children to the house and then he would pursue his conversation with her. But then, Corbin came up to him.
“Mr. Moran, I got word that something was wrong with the overseas project we have negotiated with Wilfred. You needs to deal with it urgently.”
The considerate person that she was, Eliana urged Maurice to deal with the problem. “Everything’s okay here. Go ahead.”
Maurice looked intently at Eliana. Frowning, he decided to say goodbye.
“Oh well… Then, I must go now. I’ll be back when I’m done with my work. And then you can tell me what it is you intend to tell me.”
Hearing Maurice’s words, Eliana felt an overwhelming sadness coming over her again.
She knew in her heart that they would never meet again…
This would be the last time they met.
Unable to control herself, Eliana stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged Maurice.
“Be careful!”
Maurice was both shocked and surprised.
Why was this woman acting this strange?
While he couldn’t understand Eliana, he earnestly accepted Eliana’s hug.
Corbin rolled his eyes. He couldn’t stand what he was seeing.
“Mr. Moran, it’s really time for us to go,” he said in a bored and somewhat irritating tone. “We can’t catch the plane if we don’t leave now.”
Corbin’s words had Maurice and Eliana unraveled from their embrace.
Eliana saw Maurice off with a smile. Seeing his figure disappear from her sight, she reluctantly turned around and walked back to the house.
Back home, Nana looked at her seriously and asked, “Have you really made up your mind, Eliana? Because once you do it, you really can’t go back anymore…”
