Did he really see what he thought he saw?
Silas felt something was weird. He immediately called Maurice on his smart watch.
“Hello, uncle. Why aren’t you here to pick me up yet?”
“I’m on my way. Wait a little.”
Maurice asked Corbin to park the car on a nearby corner. From there they could secretly observe
Eliana and the children.
“You are always busy with work. Are you still working? Have you forgotten what day it is?”
Silas was irritated and hurt.
Before Maurice could explain, Silas had already hung up in disappointment.
Silas stood still in silence. His little body drooped down, making him look like an abandoned puppy.
Aileen and Adrian glanced at each other. “Silas, if your uncle isn’t picking you up, you can come to our
house,” Aileen said. “Bowling isn’t there, but we can play with Foodie.”
Adrian bumped Silas’ shoulder. “That’s right. Let’s go to our house and play.”
“Not today.” Silas shook his head and looked down at the ground. He was silent.
Eliana could tell that something was wrong with Silas.
He was usually a polite and sensible kid, and it was strange for him to reject an invitation and ignore his
friends.
Eliana squatted down, grasped his hand, and asked gently, “Silas, can you tell me why you are sad?”
Eliana’s kindness reached Silas’ heart. He bit his lip and tears welled up in his eyes. “Today is the
day… my parents died. But my uncle has forgotten about it.”
This stunned Eliana. She could see her younger self in Silas. She knew better than anyone the pain of
losing parents.
Poor kid…
Eliana hugged and comforted Silas. “Silas, you have to believe that your uncle has not forgotten what
day it is today. You lost your parents, and your uncle also lost his sister. How could anyone who lost
their loved one not feel grief? He must have something going on today. I’ll stay with you and wait for a
while, okay?”
As a mother of two, Eliana knew that childcare was not easy.
After Silas’ parents died, only his uncle was left to take care of him. Since he was also working, it was
inevitable that he would not be able to give Silas his complete attention.
After a while, a Lincoln limousine came to a stop in front of Eliana. She could barely see a man wearing
sunglasses and a mask in the driver’s seat.
The windows into the back seat were completely dark.
The driver looked strangely familiar.
As Eliana tried to get a closer look at him, he said, “Mr. Gorman, I apologize for my tardiness. Please
step in the car.” Corbin tried to make his voice sound different.
Eliana frowned when she heard the driver’s strange voice.
Silas was also confused, but he didn’t want to. He said goodbye to Eliana and the twins.
“Miss Pierce, Aileen, Adrian, I’m leaving now. Goodbye.”
“Have a nice dinner with your uncle.” Eliana hugged Silas.
Silas waved goodbye to the three of them and got into the limousine.
“Where is Maurice?” Silas asked Corbin suspiciously.
“Here.” Maurice sat up in the back seat.
Maurice was late because he had changed to a different car to avoid Eliana recognizing him.
“Silas, I’m sorry. I haven’t forgotten what today is. We agreed to have dinner together today, and I won’t
break my promise.” Maurice’s voice was sincere.
Silas was surprised and turned around. The kind man in front of him was completely different from his
indifferent uncle.
Silas remembered what Eliana said. He couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, when my mom died… were you
sad?”
