Chapter 432


    Ss 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 nonchnt 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 called


    him 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 me


    that you had no idea where they were. Was it fun to y 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 and


    Aileen, where have you been today?”


    Aileen lowered her head and didn’t dare to say anything. On the other hand, Adrian mustered up the


    courage and replied in a low voice, “Mommy, we went to the amusement park to y.”Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Amusement park? Then why didn’t you answer any of my calls? I’ve been trying to reach you the


    whole 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 lips


    sealed and stared at the table.


    The sad little twins lowered their heads in tacit silence.


    Seeing that they couldn’t exin 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 world


    to her. She needed to get answers.


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


    day.


    “Miss Pierce, I’m afraid there’s been a misunderstanding. I took them with me without asking for your


    permission. It has nothing to do with my uncle,” Ss hurriedly exined.


    Eliana was so angry that she could no longer be reasoned with. Her fury was directed solely at


    Maurice. Even though what Ss had said made sense, she would only think of it as an excuse to


    defend his uncle.


    “Ss,” Eliana said through gritted teeth. “I trusted you, so I let you y with Adrian and Aileen. But you


    shouldn’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 Ss had seen Eliana lose her temper. He was so frightened that his face


    turned pale, and his eyes welled up with tears.


    “That’s enough!” All of a sudden, Maurice mmed his hand on the table, capturing everyone’s


    attention. “Eliana, why are you taking out your frustrations on the children? You are being


    unreasonable!”


    Eliana had every right to be angry because she had been worried sick the whole day. Maurice even


    chose 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 to


    take them away from me!”


    Maurice couldn’t help butugh at her baseless usation. “You’ve lost your mind! I have spent hours


    helping you search for your kids! Now that I’ve found them, this is how you repay me? What an


    ingrate!”


    The two of them continued to argue so intensely that their faces turned red. They red 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 concern


    and disgust.


    A senior waiter hurried over and interrupted, “Sir and madam, I know that couples tend to fight, but


    please keep it down. Our other customers areining. Please settle the matter inside your home.”


    To his surprise, Maurice and Eliana turned their heads at the same time and shouted in unison, “We


    are not a couple!”
