Sotisfied, Eliono touched the twins’ heods ond sent them inside. She left only ofter she wos sure they hod both entered the clossroom.
However, ofter the twins entered the closs, they immediotely storted o conversotion.

The next day, Eliana woke up, looking tired. Getting up from the bed as if in a tussle with herself, she thought of how her kids were to start at the new kindergarten today and immediately became alert.
As they stepped out after their preparations, the twins, especially Aileen, were not in any way excited about going to their new school. She was one to make these trips to school in high spirits and would ramble on excitedly, but now, she walked on with her head bowed in despair.
Eliana kept reeling off codes of conduct to the twins as they walked on, until they got to the gate of the new school. She couldn’t bear the lack of enthusiasm on Aileen’s face as she looked at her, and so crouching beside her, she said, “Aileen, it’s just a change of school. It’s not so bad… I know you will make new friends here soon because, my baby, you are so adorable.”
Aileen raised her head as she looked at Eliana and nodded gently. “I know. I will cheer up, Mommy.”
Adrian patted his chest and promised, “I will take good care of Aileen, Mommy. I won’t let anyone bully her.”
Satisfied, Eliana touched the twins’ heads and sent them inside. She left only after she was sure they had both entered the classroom.
However, after the twins entered the class, they immediately started a conversation.
“Adrian, have you contacted Silas?” Aileen asked in a low voice.
“Aileen, I can’t do such a thing now,” Adrian said with a look of seriousness.
“Why?” Aileen asked, tilting her head in confusion.
Adrian explained, “Silly, I suspect that Mommy’s abrupt decision to move from the former house has something to do with Silas’ bad uncle this time. So I can’t contact him now. What if his uncle finds out?”
Aileen obviously didn’t understand Adrian’s point, so she said innocently, “Then we can ask Silas to keep it a secret. I believe he won’t tell anyone about it.”
Adrian was quiet for a while. He always thought it too dangerous to contact Silas, but he couldn’t refute what Aileen just said.
“Adrian, you’re not saying anything, which means you agree, right? I will dial his number now.” Aileen dialed Silas’ number immediately with her smart watch.
Silas’ voice came from the other end as soon as the call connected. “Hello, Aileen and Adrian, you finally decided to call me. I miss you both so much. Where are you now?”
Aileen was about to tell him where they were when Adrian, being cautious, interrupted her. “It’s not fitting to talk about it on the phone. We should talk in private.”
Silas agreed without hesitation, “Okay.”
Adrian thought for a while and added, “Silas, please do not let the adults know that we are calling you, okay?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell them,” Silas promised immediately.
Adrian breathed a sigh of relief and said, “See you this afternoon then.”
“Okay,” Silas agreed.
Both of them rapidly concluded the conversation.
Aileen pouted with dissatisfaction because even though she was standing beside Adrian, she was unable to slide in a word into their conversation.
Aileen obviously didn’t understand Adrian’s point, so she said innocently, “Then we can ask Silas to keep it a secret. I believe he won’t tell anyone about it.”
Right after sending the twins to kindergarten, Eliana sprang into her work for the day. She took the contracts signed by the workers to Rosamond, so she could check it.
As Rosamond took a look at the contracts Eliana gave her, she began to have a more respectable opinion of her.
“Eliana, you did a fantastic job this time.” She didn’t expect that Eliana would also be good in business just as she was talented at jewelry design.
Eliana felt somewhat embarrassed hearing Rosamond say those words, so she said, “Miss Deleon, please do not flatter me. I’ve still gotten a lot to learn.”
“There’s no need for you to belittle yourself. It’s hard to deal with those old foxes. Since you can handle them, it means you have the ability. Moran Group has handed over the bracelet project to the factory, so this time just go ahead and do a good job with this project.” Rosamond handed over the bracelet contract to Eliana with a smile.
Eliana was filled with mixed feelings as she collected the contract. She remembered the last time she came to the factory with the contract on behalf of the Moran Group. Now, she had become the representative of the factory. It showed that life was really unpredictable.
Eliana felt happy, as well as a bit worried. Would she be so unlucky to meet Maurice again now that he might have returned to the Moran Group?
On second thought, she refused to give in to her worries. Maurice was the CEO of the Moran Group and as such wouldn’t bother with small projects such as this one. Or would he?
