Chapter 661
Maurice didn’t catch the change in Eliana. He couldn’t contain himself and excitedly held her hand. “The children have accepted me now, and my grandpa has agreed to the marriage, Eliana. How about we return to my family’s mansion now and talk about the details of our marriage? You, Adrian, and Aileen would have a new home in the coming future.”
Maurice was eager to introduce his lover and children to the entire Moran family. Then he would make it known to the entire world that they were about to be married.
“Now? I didn’t plan anything though…” The thought of going to see Maurice’s family members made Eliana feel extremely nervous.
“You don’t have to make any plans. I’ll deal with it.” Maurice clutched her hand tightly as a way to encourage her.
Eliana then finally made up her mind and nodded. “Alright.”
With that, Maurice changed directions and drove to the Moran family’s mansion.
Surprisingly, as they got there, the first family member they spotted was Gerald. Gerald’s and Maurice’s car got the Moran family’s house almost simultaneously. Once the three of them stepped out of their cars, they stood in front of each other.
Gerald couldn’t help but think of Ingrid’s face as he saw Eliana again. He would be instantly fascinated each time he saw Eliana.
Maurice frowned at the obscene look in Gerald eyes. He drew Eliana into his arms.
Gerald’s expression changed all of a sudden as he saw this.
It was like deja vu.
Ingrid had also been so easily taken away from him by another man in the past.
Now the same thing was being repeated with her daughter. And the man who was snatching Eliana away was his own nephew, the one he hated the most. Why wouldn’t he hate Maurice! novelbin
Gerald’s eyes turned more and more vicious as he stared at Eliana.
Eliana felt scared and unconsciously buried herself into Maurice’s arms more as she saw the resentful look in Maurice’s eyes.
Maurice noticed her fear and warned Gerald immediately, “Take your disgusting eyes away immediately.”
Gerald returned to his senses immediately, changed his expression and said politely, “Don’t be so sensitive. She simply reminded me of Ingrid as I looked at her.”
Maurice snorted disdainfully. He didn’t believe a word Gerald said.
Gerald then turned to his car and took out a black velvet box. He moved over to Eliana and handed it to her. “Here, a wedding gift for you two.”
Eliana hesitantly collected the gift box and opened it carefully. Her eyes widened in shock as soon as she saw what was inside.
A set of valuable emerald jewelry sat in the box. It was made exquisitely and had a unique shape. It was a collection Eliana’s mother owned when she was alive.
The jewelry was all taken away and sold by the bank following the bankruptcy of the Pierce Group. Eliana hadn’t expected Gerald to be the buyer.
She shut the gift box and turned to stare at Gerald with a complicated expression. She had some sort of unexplainable feeling that there was a connection between Gerald and her parents.
Just as she was about to question it, Earle and Nancy walked over.
“Eliana, you’re here!” Nancy walked over excitedly and clutched Eliana’s hand. “What are you doing standing outside? Come on in.”
Eliana was left with no other option but to keep her questions in her heart and stepped into the door.
Earle’s attitude towards her this time was a lot better. “I’ve reluctantly agreed to you marrying Maurice for the sake of the two kids. However, we can’t be so carefree over this marriage. Does the Pierce family have any other elders? I need to have a talk with them. The elders from both sides would have to be present at the wedding on that day.”
Eliana had been happy at first as she saw that Earle had accepted her finally, but as she heard this, she became a bit sad.
She replied despondently, “From what I know… The Pierce family has no other elders.”
Earle hadn’t been expecting the problem to be solved by Eliana alone, so he said simply, “I’ve investigated it already. I hope you’re okay with that.”
Eliana shook her head; she was okay with it of course. Maurice, however, was different. He was aware Eliana was related to the White family. He instantly began to nervously sweat.
Both families, White and Moran, had been at war for many years. As soon as Earle discovered Eliana’s true identity, definitely, he would no longer consent to the marriage so easily.
There was another person other than Maurice, who had knowledge of the truth. It was Gerald. He sat aside, anticipating the show about to start.
Just then, Aleck stepped forward and handed Earle the results of the investigation.
