Chapter 434

When Eliana saw the guilty look on Silas’ face, mixed emotions filled her heart.

She knew that what had happened today was not entirely his fault. But she couldn’t help feeling scared.

She couldn’t imagine the pain of losing her children.

“Silas, you must be tired today too. Everything is fine here. You can go home first,” Eliana sighed. Shedidn’t accept Silas’ apology.

Silas understood what she meant, so he lowered his head more. There was a guilty and depressedexpression on his face.

Maurice put his hand on Silas’ shoulder, leaned over, and comforted him softly, “Silas, it’s not yourfault.”

Then he took Silas and left the Pierce family’s house.

On their way home, Silas still thought of what had happened during the day. He couldn’t help askingMaurice, “Do you know who is Aileen and Adrian’s father?”

Maurice was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand why Silas suddenly became curious about it.

“Why do you ask?”

Silas answered honestly, “Because I really hope that you are their father.”

“Why me?” Silas’ answer made Maurice even more confused.

“So I can be their real family.”

There was a trace of expectation in Silas’ voice.

Maurice couldn’t help laughing. “Do you like them so much that you want them to be your family?”

Silas nodded. “Yes, I like them very much.”

Real family?

It could never happen.

After all, the twins’ father was not him but Jonathan.

At the thought of this, Maurice’s face suddenly darkened.

“I’m not the twins’ father.”

“Oh…” Silas looked disappointed. “Miss Pierce is so angry today. Will she not let me play with Aileenand Adrian anymore?”

At the mention of this matter, Maurice felt morose.

“Silas, you should stop playing with those two kids in the future. I don’t want Eliana to blame you againif something happens.”

Silas was distressed at once. “But I want to play with Aileen and Adrian.”

“Silas, just listen to me!”

After saying this, Maurice immediately pulled a long face.

“No, I don’t want to listen to you!”

Silas stubbornly turned his head sideways and covered his ears, not wanting to hear Maurice’s wordsanymore.

No one was willing to give in, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became depressing.

They soon arrived at the Moran family’s house.

Silas opened the door and rushed out of the car. Maurice could only sigh silently and follow him.

Silas ran into his room and threw himself on the bed, feeling dejected.

There was his family photo on the bedside table. At that time, his parents were still there. They held hishands and smiled happily.

He hugged the family photo, and Aileen’s words echoed in his mind.

“You are both my older brothers, we are related!”

Silas thought that he had found a new family, but he was wrong. Eliana would not let Aileen and Adrianbecome his family anymore.

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. Tears streamed down his face like a waterfall.

Maurice was worried about Silas, so he went straight to the door of the boy’s room. He heard Silas’suppressed crying from the inside.

He knocked, opened the door, and walked in. He saw Silas lying on the bed and crying secretly withthe family photo in his arms.

“Silas, are you alright?”

Maurice wanted to walk over and comfort Silas.

But when Silas saw Maurice approaching, he was very resistant. He grabbed a pillow and threw it atMaurice. Then he buried his head in another pillow and shouted, “Go away! I don’t want to see youanymore!”

Watching Silas lose his temper, Maurice didn’t know what to do for a while. He couldn’t help feelingvery depressed.

In the Pierce family’s house, Eliana and Adrian coaxed Aileen to sleep.

Eliana patted Adrian on the head and said, “Adrian, you must be tired. Go to bed now.”

“Mommy…” Adrian raised his head and looked at Eliana as if he had made up his mind. “Actually, whathappened today is not Silas’ uncle’s fault.”

Eliana was confused. “What do you mean? What really happened to you today?”

Adrian thought it over for a while. Then he came up with an explanation that could not only keep hispromise to Earle but also make him explain to his mother clearly.

“You and Nana didn’t come to pick us up, so Silas offered to send us home. But on the way, we met anold man who had a heart attack. We had to take him to the hospital, so we went home late.”

“Then why didn’t you immediately tell me?” Eliana was surprised by what she had learned.

“Because the old man didn’t want his family to worry about him. He begged us to keep it a secret. Wepromised him not to tell anyone. We wanted to keep our promise, so we didn’t tell you about it.”

Adrian’s explanation made Eliana feel a little guilty.

It seemed that she really misunderstood Maurice this time.
