Chapter 432

Silas suddenly spotted Eliana from across the restaurant and waved at her. “Miss Pierce, over here!”

The rest of the group turned their heads at the same time and saw Eliana standing by the door.

“You’re finally here,” Maurice said calmly.

His seemingly nonchalant attitude ignited the anger in Eliana’s heart.

She had been searching for her two kids everywhere the entire evening and almost went crazy.

Thinking the kids had been with Maurice the whole time made Eliana extremely pissed. She had calledhim earlier for help, and he pretended to know nothing.

“Maurice, why the hell did you lie to me?”

Raising his eyebrows in confusion, Maurice shrugged and asked, “What are you talking about?”

“It turns out that you were secretly hanging out with the kids while I worried for their safety. You told methat you had no idea where they were. Was it fun to play with them and make a fool out of me?”

Clenching her fists, Eliana trembled with anger. She had never been this furious in her entire life.

The kids were shocked at the fierce expression on her face.

After scolding Maurice, Eliana turned her attention to the twins and questioned them, “Adrian andAileen, where have you been today?”

Aileen lowered her head and didn’t dare to say anything. On the other hand, Adrian mustered up thecourage and replied in a low voice, “Mommy, we went to the amusement park to play.”

“Amusement park? Then why didn’t you answer any of my calls? I’ve been trying to reach you thewhole evening,” Eliana asked, trying to suppress her anger.

Aileen opened her mouth to speak but suddenly remembered her promise to Earle, so she kept her lipssealed and stared at the table.

The sad little twins lowered their heads in tacit silence.

Seeing that they couldn’t explain themselves in front of everyone only meant one thing in Eliana’s mind.

Maurice was responsible for this mess!

Moreover, he even had the guts to threaten them not to tell the truth!

“Maurice, be honest with me. Did you take my kids to the amusement park?”

Eliana would not let this matter pass so easily. The twins were the most important people in the worldto her. She needed to get answers.

What scared her the most was the possibility that Maurice would take her children away from her oneday.

“Miss Pierce, I’m afraid there’s been a misunderstanding. I took them with me without asking for yourpermission. It has nothing to do with my uncle,” Silas hurriedly explained.

Eliana was so angry that she could no longer be reasoned with. Her fury was directed solely atMaurice. Even though what Silas had said made sense, she would only think of it as an excuse todefend his uncle.

“Silas,” Eliana said through gritted teeth. “I trusted you, so I let you play with Adrian and Aileen. But youshouldn’t have taken them away without informing me at all! You’re so irresponsible! I’m very

disappointed in you!”

It was the first time that Silas had seen Eliana lose her temper. He was so frightened that his faceturned pale, and his eyes welled up with tears.

“That’s enough!” All of a sudden, Maurice slammed his hand on the table, capturing everyone’sattention. “Eliana, why are you taking out your frustrations on the children? You are beingunreasonable!”

Eliana had every right to be angry because she had been worried sick the whole day. Maurice evenchose to keep silent when she berated him.

But now, she was throwing a temper tantrum at the children. He couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.

“Excuse me? I am being unreasonable?” Eliana snorted in disbelief. “You asshole! You were trying totake them away from me!”

Maurice couldn’t help but laugh at her baseless accusation. “You’ve lost your mind! I have spent hourshelping you search for your kids! Now that I’ve found them, this is how you repay me? What aningrate!”

The two of them continued to argue so intensely that their faces turned red. They glared at each other,and neither side was willing to concede.

Frightened by their shouting match, the kids sat there frozen in silence.

The noise attracted the attention of all the customers inside the restaurant, drawing looks of concernand disgust.

A senior waiter hurried over and interrupted, “Sir and madam, I know that couples tend to fight, butplease keep it down. Our other customers are complaining. Please settle the matter inside your home.”

To his surprise, Maurice and Eliana turned their heads at the same time and shouted in unison, “Weare not a couple!”
