The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 149

“You’re both here, Maurice and Silas.”

In the blink of an eye, the chilly feeling in the room dissipated when Nancy walked into the living room with a dish of fruit.

“What are you referring to?”

“It’s nothing, Mom,” Gerald said. He had to treat his mother with respect.

Nancy snarled at Earle and Gerald. “What’s the matter with you? Surely you don’t want to frighten the kid.”

She took Silas in her arms.

Obediently, Silas leaned towards Nancy’s breast. When he wasn’t acting like an adult and acting like a child, he was lovable.

“Dear Great-grandma, how are you?”

“You poor little thing, the last time I saw you was long ago. I miss you terribly.”

Nancy gave Silas a pinch on the face and a kiss on the cheek.

Silas gathered his strength to speak, raising his head. “Don’t blame Uncle Maurice, Great-grandpa. Because I had been playing for a long time, we arrived late.”

When Earle saw his granddaughter’s sole child, his expression softened. He gave Maurice an uninterested look and said, “Do not repeat that. Sit down. I guess it’s only right if we have a meal.”

“Sure.”

Immediately after Earle’s comments, everyone sat down. There was silence for a minute, except for the sound of plates and forks hitting.

Gerald was upset when he saw how peaceful the room was.

He feigned concern and said, “Maurice, I’ve heard that you tore up the Jarvis household in order to win the affections of a lady. Is this accurate?”

Inwardly, Maurice scoffed as he put down the food he was picking up.

Today, Gerald tried to make it as tough as possible for him.

Earle’s scowl was anticipated, and he enquired, “Maurice, tell me what’s happening. Who’s that woman?”

Maurice laid down his forks, wiped his mouth gently, and answered, “Grandpa, I didn’t wipe out the Jarvis family for the sake of a woman. In recent years, the Jarvis family has been a spent arrow. They still hoped to gain an edge by using the closeness of the Moran family to them. Allow them to take advantage of us, and more families will follow suit and do the same in the future. I can’t let that happen!”

After he heard this, Earle’s expression became a little softer.

Gerald was rather persistent. “Really? Everyone in the workplace was aware that you pursued Eliana, according to what I’ve heard.”

Earle squinted and asked, “Eliana?”

Gerald’s responded, “Yes, that’s correct. She is the sole daughter of the Pierce Group’s owner, and the group declared bankruptcy five years ago.”

“I advise you, Maurice, although you may have a good time with a low-status lady, you should not take things to a serious level. The tragedy of the last generation is something that shouldn’t recur. Especially if you’ll be one involved.”

Maurice’s father’s demise saddened Earle. Every time he mentioned him, he was overcome with grief.

These statements were unbearable to Nancy. She chastised Earle by pointing her finger at his nose. “All of you, please stop talking now. Earle, I’d want to tell you something. I’m happy to have Eliana as my granddaughter-in-law. Come on, someone, stop it! Didn’t everyone learn enough from the past? I will flee if somebody tries to cause problems for Maurice again. Leaving the Moran family is an option for me!”

Earle remained silent as a result of the scolding. This dominant husband, who had been that way his whole life, couldn’t stand up to his wife. His wife appeared to be able to persuade him to give in to her.

Gerald was unable to say anything harsh when Nancy became enraged.

They were all awestruck by Nancy.

Silas gave Nancy a sneaky thumbs-up beneath the table.

Nancy was able to settle a disagreement right away.

Maurice rarely sat in front of Silas’ bed in the evenings to lull him to sleep. On the nightstand, there was a snapshot of the whole family.

“Sleep now. I’m not going anywhere till you’re sound asleep.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Silas’s quilt was tugged by Maurice, who perched on the side of the bed.

“Then you should keep your word,” Silas whispered, burying his head in the comforter.

“Of course.” Maurice’s grin became softer and softer around the corners of his lips.

Maurice didn’t leave until Silas was well asleep.

It was already far into the wee hours of the morning. Maurice went alone to the balcony and started smoking. He could only really experience his yearning for someone at that exact time.
