Nana broke out in a cold sweat.
Maurice’s question wasn’t an easy one to answer. Once she failed to give him a reasonable answer,
her friend would be in trouble.
Nana racked her brain for an explanation that would satisfy his curiosity.
“Mr. Moran, I’m aware Eliana withheld the truth from you. I believe she had her reasons for doing so.
However, I also know it brings her great joy whenever you visit Aileen and Adrian. She never prevented
you from seeing them.”
Maurice listened with a blank expression on his face.
Nana couldn’t tell what Maurice was thinking at that moment. She squirmed in her seat on the sofa.
Inside the bedroom, Aileen struggled to fall asleep. She had nightmares about Eliana all night.
She seemed to have sensed something was wrong and woke up sobbing.
“Mommy! Mommy!” Aileen wailed as she ran out of the room.
“Nana! Please find Mommy!”
The two adults in the living room stoop up when Aileen scrambled into the room.
Maurice immediately embraced the crying girl. He whispered soothing words as he patted her back.
“Aileen, don’t be afraid. Look at me. What’s troubling you?”
Aileen raised her head from Maurice’s arms with tears streaming down her face.
“Mr. Moran, please save Mommy. I think she’s in danger. I had a dream she was in a car accident. It
was terrible!”
Aileen cried as she clutched Maurice’s clothes. His heart ached as he watched her cry.
Maurice reached out and gently wiped the tears from the girl’s face. In a soft voice, he said, “Don’t cry,
Aileen. It was only a nightmare, and you’ll be okay. I’ve sent someone to look for your mommy. Don’t
worry. She’ll be home soon.”
“Is that true?”
Aileen took a shaky breath to stop herself from crying.
Maurice patted Aileen’s head affectionately and murmured, “Of course, I wouldn’t lie to you.”
“Can we pinky swear on it?”
“Alright.”
Maurice entwined his finger with her little one.
The girl calmed down after a few minutes. Maurice held her tightly in his arms.
“Aileen, I promise I’ll bring your mommy back to you. Go back to sleep, okay? You still have to go to
school with Adrian tomorrow. Does that sound good?”
“Okay. Thank you, Mr. Moran.”
Aileen rested her head on Maurice’s shoulder and sagged in relief. Moments later, she fell asleep
again.
Maurice cradled her in his arms as she slept. Her body was tiny and soft, and she breathed evenly.
Maurice’s heart melted. At that moment, he felt happiness.
Moments later, Adrian also woke up. He opened his eyes and ran out of the room when he noticed his
sister was gone.
As soon as he walked into the room, he saw Aileen asleep in Maurice’s arms.
What was the bad guy doing here? Why was he holding Aileen?
Adrian’s brows furrowed as he asked, “Why are you here?”
“Please be quiet. I don’t want to wake your sister up,” Maurice reminded Adrian in a low voice. He
cradled Aileen with one hand and gently stroked her back with the other.
Adrian could tell something was wrong.
Maurice was acting strange.
He’d always been nice to Aileen, but he treated her unusually well today.
Maurice bent his head to look at Adrian and noticed the dark circles under the boy’s eyes. Maurice
asked, “Are you also worried about your mommy? There’s no need to worry. I’ll bring your mommy
home safe and sound.”
Adrian felt flustered by the fact that Maurice knew what troubled him. He argued stubbornly, “It’s none
of your business. I’ll protect my mommy on my own!”
Maurice always felt that Adrian had a fiery temper.
Now, he smiled fondly at him. Adrian was his son. The boy reminded Maurice of himself when he was
younger. Both of them were stubborn and hated showing weakness.
Silas was similar to Adrian in that way too.
However, Silas also inherited his mother’s delicate nature and sensitivity. Adrian, on the other hand,
was decisive and courageous.
Maurice glanced down at his watch. “It’s still early. You still have to go to school later. Go back to
sleep.”
He entered the twins’ bedroom and gently placed Aileen back on her bed. Adrian awkwardly followed
Maurice into the room.
“I’m warning you! Don’t do anything bad! I’ll keep an eye on you.”
Adrian glared at him suspiciously.
“I know,” Maurice chuckled.
As he watched the two children, Maurice felt unused. He had two children with Eliana!
