Chapter 605

After hanging up the phone, Jonathan looked at Maurice complacently and said, “You’ve heard itdirectly from her. At least, now you know what she wants.”

Jonathan thought Maurice was such a fool. Not only that Maurice couldn’t take Eliana away, but he alsohad to take care of her and another man’s children.

Maurice’s face darkened at once. But he tried his best to suppress the anger that surged in his heart.

He looked at Jonathan and said, “Jonathan, I’m warning you. Don’t try to play tricks.”

Jonathan smiled defiantly. “Relax. Don’t worry. I will give you a brand-new Eliana in the future.”

Maurice didn’t believe a word he said.

But now that Eliana was still in his hand, Maurice couldn’t fall out with him at the moment.

Maurice decided to be patient for the time being. He couldn’t be impulsive now. Besides, Adrian andAileen were still waiting for him in school. Eliana had entrusted them to him.

Aileen had nightmares, wake up crying last night. And now, in kindergarten, Aileen couldn’t help cryingevery time she thought of Eliana. She had cried so hard that her eyes were swollen now.

Maybe because he was a boy, Adrian was a bit better than her. He didn’t cry, but he had been listlessall day long.

During their recess, Silas noticed that something was wrong with Adrian and Aileen. He couldn’t helpasking, “Adrian, Aileen, what’s wrong with you?”

“Silas, our mommy is missing,” Aileen answered at once. Her eyes were full of tears, and she was notas lively as before. “I have a bad feeling that Mommy is in danger.”

“Your mommy is missing? How can that be?”

Silas was also flustered. But when he saw that Aileen was about to cry, he immediately took out thefruit candy from his backpack, opened the wrapper, and put it in front of her mouth.

“Aileen, don’t cry now. Here, have a candy first.”

Aileen opened her mouth, and Silas stuffed the candy in her mouth. She chewed it, and the sweet tastemade her feel much better. But she still wanted to cry.

“Silas, what if Mommy doesn’t come back? Adrian and I won’t have Mommy anymore.”

As Silas listened to Aileen’s words, he was instantly reminded of some bad memories. And seeing herpanicking like this, he felt so terrible that he couldn’t help but speak his mind.

“Aileen, don’t be afraid, okay? You know what? When I was small, I went out with my dad and mom.Then… We had a car accident. At that time, the scene was very chaotic. Our car was turned over, and Iwas very scared. But when I was in a daze, I felt a warm embrace. It was my mom who hugged me,and that was the last time I felt her hug…”

This was the first time that Silas talked about the car accident to others. He was so sad that he couldn’tcalm down.

Aileen got so interested in his story that she stopped crying.

Adrian also listened to the whole story silently. When Silas finished speaking, he couldn’t help sighing,“Silas, you are so brave.”

Silas smiled bitterly. “I’m not as brave as you think. I remember that after the accident, my uncle wasthe first one to come to me. He said that he would handle everything, and I trusted him.”

At this time, Adrian remembered what Maurice had promised him. Maurice said he would bring Elianaback safely.

But the question was, could he really trust a bad guy’s promise?

But the question was, could he really trust a bad guy’s promise?

When he saw the firmness on Silas’ face, he was a little shaken.

Maybe he could try to trust him even once.

Time passed quickly, and school time was about to end.

Maurice, as a newbie in being a father, stood at the gate of the kindergarten.

Since Eliana was not here, he had to shoulder the responsibility of picking up the children. But he didn’tmind. In fact, he was more than willing to do it.

As soon as he saw the three children come out, he immediately walked up to them.

“Mr. Moran!”

“Uncle Maurice!”

Aileen and Silas immediately ran to him. Adrian was left behind, still hesitating.

Finally, he made up his mind. He walked over to them, but he stopped a few steps away from Maurice.

Maurice took Aileen’s hand naturally and touched Silas’ head.

“How was your day?”

“Good. I just miss Mommy,” Aileen replied, still a little depressed.

Maurice remained silent. He didn’t know what to say, so he could only hold Aileen’s hand to comforther.

At this moment, he noticed Adrian standing behind them, looking awkward. Adrian’s round eyes werefixed on his hand that was holding Aileen’s.

Maurice thought this little boy was quite stubborn.

He had no choice but to take a step forward and gently hold Adrian’s hand too.

He then said, “Your mommy has entrusted you to me. I’ll take you home today.”
