The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 604

That’s none of your business. Besides, there is a possibility that the Moran family will accept Eliana.”

Maurice’s expression was calm. He didn’t care about Jonathan’s words at all.

Earle didn’t know yet that Aileen and Adrian were Maurice and Eliana’s children. If Earle knew, his attitude towards Eliana would definitely change.

He continued, “But you? I’m afraid you have ulterior motives for Eliana. Am I right?”

Jonathan’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He frowned and asked, “And what do you mean by that?”

Maurice stared at him closely and said word by word, “Jonathan, you once had a wife, right?”

As soon as these words came out of Maurice’s mouth, Jonathan’s pupils contracted. And the expression on his face drastically changed at once.

Maurice understood Jonathan’s reaction. He immediately took out a photo from his pocket.

“According to my investigation, you were once married. But not long after your marriage, your wife went missing. More importantly, she was from the White family, right?”

Jonathan looked at the photo in Maurice’s hand, and those memories flashed back in his mind one after another, stinging him.

“Enough of your nonsense! I don’t want to hear anything you say anymore.”

He suddenly rushed over like crazy, wanting to grab the photo from Maurice’s hand.

His action made both sides, who had been on guard against each other, instantly restless. They were just waiting for their bosses’ orders now. They were all ready to fight.

But surprisingly, Maurice remained calm. He let Jonathan take the photo away without doing anything.

As soon as the photo fell into Jonathan’s hands, he immediately stared at it.

It was only then that he found that there was only a blurry figure of a woman in the photo. Her face could not be seen clearly.

Jonathan’s expression relaxed at once.

Fortunately, the photo was not a piece of solid evidence.

Maurice had been watching Jonathan all the time. When he found that Jonathan had inexplicably calmed down after seeing the photo, he felt strange.

Just now, Jonathan wanted to take the photo away nervously. But when he saw it, he didn’t seem to care anymore. What was going on?

Maurice meant to expose the fact that Jonathan didn’t really love Eliana. That Jonathan loved someone else. He didn’t expect that Jonathan would act so strange.

Could it be that… Jonathan was pestering Eliana because of his missing wife?

After a brief gaffe, Jonathan returned to his usual composure.

“Maurice, I don’t care whether you believe it or not, but I won’t force Eliana. If she wants to go with you, I will let her go right away.”

After saying this, Jonathan took out his phone and called Eliana in front of Maurice.

“Jonathan, what’s the matter?”

When Maurice heard Eliana’s familiar voice, mixed emotions surged in his heart.

Eliana had lied to him for so long.

And now, she was missing. He thought he should give her a long lecture.

However, he couldn’t start scolding her. The thousands of words in his mind turned into a sentence. “Eliana, it’s me,” he said.

There was silence on the other end of the line.

Eliana was stunned for a while. She choked with sobs and could not speak.

Only her frequent breathing could be heard on the phone.

Upon hearing this, Maurice couldn’t help asking, “Are you still in pain?”

At this moment, Eliana could no longer restrain her emotion. Tears of grievance streamed down her face.

She was not this sad when she found out that she might be disfigured.

But when Maurice asked, all her defenses broke down.

At this moment, all of Eliana’s grievances and fears were released. She cried so hard that her voice trembled unconsciously.

“Maurice… I’m so scared…”

Maurice’s heart tightened. He felt like a giant rock was pressing his chest. “Don’t be scared. I’ll take you home now, okay?”

“No!” Eliana blurted out.

She didn’t want Maurice to see her horrible appearance now.

“Eliana!” Maurice exclaimed with a frown. His voice suddenly rose.

“Maurice… Just let me stay here first. I will go back when my face is healed. Fortunately, Jonathan was with me when the car accident happened. Otherwise, I would have been doomed. I want to wait until my face recovers before I go back. I don’t want to scare the kids.”

Her explanation calmed Maurice down a little, but he still stubbornly insisted, “Just come back. I will find someone who can treat you.”

Eliana quickly refused, saying, “No need. When I fell into the sea, I also got scars on my body. It was Jonathan’s doctors who helped me. There were no traces left when I was healed. The doctors here are all the best of the best. I’m sure I can be cured sooner.”

Maurice ran out of words he could use to persuade Eliana. He felt helpless now.

But he was really worried about letting her stay by Jonathan’s side alone, especially since he knew Jonathan had ulterior motives.

“But, Eliana…”

“No buts, Maurice, okay? Just let me stay here,” Eliana said firmly. “While I am away, I will entrust the kids to you. Take care of them for me.”

She had already made up her mind, so Maurice had no choice. He reluctantly answered, “Okay, I promise you.”
