Chapter 353


    Eliana consoled Adrian and Aileen. The two kids had finallye to terms with Kimora’s resignation


    and eventual departure.


    Then they proceeded to have breakfast prepared by Lena.


    After breakfast, Eliana helped to pack up the twins’ school bags and prepared to send them to school.


    The twins immediately jumped up in excitement as soon as they heard that they were going back to


    school.


    “This is great news! Now, we can go back to school.”


    Aileen and Adrian had been bored and tired of staying at home all these days.


    Eliana felt guilty as she watched the excited children.


    As soon as they arrived at the gate of the kindergarten with the twins, they ran into Ss.


    “There’s Ss!”


    Aileen pointed ahead at the figure of a boy.


    Following the direction of Aileen’s hand, Eliana nced at Ss who was standing close to another


    man.


    “Corbin?”


    When Corbin heard the familiar voice behind him, he was scared out of his wits and whirled around


    instinctively. Unfortunately, he was at the gate of the kindergarten, and there was nowhere to hide.


    There was no way he could escape even if he wanted to.


    Ss grabbed Corbin’s sleeve, effectively stopping him from walking away.


    “Corbin, what’s the problem?” he asked.


    Soon, Eliana and the twins had covered the distance between them.


    “Corbin, what are you doing here?” Eliana asked with a look of confusion in her eyes as she lowered


    her head and nced at Ss.


    “Wait! Are you and Ss… What’s the rtionship between the two of you?”


    Oh, no! I can no longer keep the secret! Corbin thought.


    Then, he finally made up his mind to tell Eliana the truth not minding her fierce gaze.


    “Well, Ss is Mr. Moran’s nephew…”


    “What do you mean? How can Ss be Maurice’s nephew?” Eliana’s eyes were wide open with shock.


    Then she asked again, “Why didn’t you notify me earlier?”


    Corbin stammered, “We… we were afraid you’d misunderstand it. Ss and the two kids are good


    friends. Mr. Moran doesn’t want anything between you two to interfere with the children’s rtionship,


    so we kept the secret from you…”


    Oh, dear!


    Why would Maurice resort to keeping such a big secret from her until now?


    So, it was clear that Maurice not only pretended to be Preston, but also could asionally know about


    Aileen and Adrian with the help of Ss!


    Suddenly, Eliana became alert. She quickly shielded the two children vigntly.


    Ss didn’t know what had happened between the adults. He was saddened by Eliana’s defensive


    reaction.


    However, he didn’t ask anything but lowered his head and said sulkily, “I’ll have to go in first.”


    “Hey, Ss, please wait for me!”


    Aileen wanted to go after Ss but was abruptly stopped by Adrian.


    “Adrian, what’s wrong?”


    Aileen nced at her brother with a confused expression on her face.


    “Aileen, I need to tell you something. There is something wrong with Mommy. Well, she… It doesn’t


    seem she wants us to y with Ss,” Adrian said seriously.


    A deep frown appeared on his face.


    “Huh? But why?” Aileen was still confused. Then she took a deep breath and asked, “Did Ss do


    something wrong?”


    Children always saw things in ck and white.

    Eliana didn’t know how to respond to this question.


    Ss had not done anything wrong.


    But he was Maurice’s nephew.


    Eliana’s mind was in a whirl. Aileen and Adrian were Ss’ cousins, so no wonder they hit it off when


    they had met for the first time.


    It would be too harsh if they were restricted from ying with each other.


    Eliana heaved a sigh.


    Anyway, the children were innocent. She couldn’t let what had transpired between adults affect the


    friendship that the children had.


    Eliana kissed Aileen’s little face and said, “I have not forbidden from ying with Ss. Of course, you


    can y with him, if you want.”


    She thought about the depressed expression on Ss’s face and added, “Aileen, could pleasefort


    Ss when you see him?”


    “Okay then! Mommy, you’ll always be the best!”


    Aileen cheered and grabbed Adrian’s hand before they headed for the kindergarten happily.


    When the two children entered the kindergarten, the smile on Eliana’s face gradually faded, and she


    followed them quietly behind.


    “Eliana…” Corbin muttered as he caught up with her and tried to exin what had just happened.


    “Well, you don’t have to exin anything. I understand. I know it’s none of your business. You simply


    just follow Maurice’s orders. It was solely his fault. I can’t me you.”


    You won’t me me, but you will surely me Mr. Moran! Corbin thought with an embarrassed look on


    his face.


    It was going to take Mr. Moran a long time to get Eliana to forgive him!
