    Eliana’s hand went down quickly and fell on Maurice’s face.

    The unexpected p caused Maurice’s face to turn aside.


    He did not realize what was going on until he felt a sharp pain on his face.


    Eliana had pped him again!


    He was determined to teach her a lesson this time.


    With a livid face, he turned his head to look at Eliana, intending to teach her a lesson.


    But the scene he saw shocked him. Eliana was staring at him with red eyes and tears ran freely down


    her cheeks.


    Maurice definitely didn’t expect that. She was crying.


    In a split second, Maurice forgot his anger and felt so sorry for her. He no longer wanted to punish her


    for having pped him.


    He couldn’t help but reach out to wipe the tears from her face.


    What they didn’t know was that a group of children not far away were watching them intently.


    After they left, the teacher failed to stop the curious children in the ssroom from watching Eliana and


    Maurice. Now, they were standing in front of the window or at the door.


    When Aileen and Adrian saw Eliana crying, they couldn’t stand it. They rushed out of the ssroom


    despite the teacher’s dissuasion and ran towards Eliana and Maurice.


    “You bad guy, what do you want to do to my mommy?” Adrian scolded Maurice, standing next to


    Eliana.


    Maurice smiled bitterly and put down his hand.


    “Mommy, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Aileen asked Eliana anxiously, hugging Eliana’s thighs.


    “Don’t worry, honey. I’m fine.”


    As she spoke, Eliana wiped the tears on her face and forced a smile. She squatted down and stroked


    the two kids’ hair.


    Although Eliana did her best to reassure her kids that she was fine, neither Aileen nor Adrian believed


    her. Adrian was staring at Maurice with hatred, while Aileen had mixed feelings.


    Aileen’s eyes eventually fell on the cuffs of Maurice’s pants, where the sunflower she had drawn for him


    had been smeared with all kinds of paint.


    Seeing that the sunflower she drew was destroyed, Aileen was heartbroken and wanted to cry.


    “Mr. Moran, are you really a bad guy?” the little girl looked at Maurice and asked timidly.


    Seeing Aileen’s innocent gaze, Maurice clenched his fists, not daring to say anything cruel to this


    adorable child.


    But how could he exin it?


    “No!” Eliana suddenly said. She held the hands of Adrian and Aileen and added seriously, “Remember,


    Mr. Moran is not a bad guy, okay?”


    Aileen nodded in confusion, but Adrian didn’t say anything. He was visibly still angry.


    Eliana sighed helplessly. The thing was Maurice was Aileen and Adrian’s biological father, and Eliana


    didn’t want her children to hate their father even if they didn’t know the truth.


    “Honey, Mommy’s and Mr. Moran’s clothes are dirty. We have to go change into clean clothes now. You


    two should go back to your ss now, okay?” Eliana said softly, pretending to be rxed.


    “No!” Adrian said firmly, looking at Maurice intently. “I want to be with you, Mommy!” he added.


    “Adrian, don’t worry. Mommy is fine. I really need to go home and change my clothes. Go back to ss


    now. I wille pick you up this afternoon, okay?”


    After a long moment of persuasion, the two kids finally agreed to go back to their ssroom.


    When the two children were out of sight, Eliana’s expression changed. She left directly, without even


    looking at Maurice.


    With a gloomy face, Maurice followed her silently.


    Eliana’s clothes were in a mess, and when she walked out of the school premises, the passers-by


    looked at her andughed.


    “Look, what on earth is that woman wearing? It’s so funny!”


    “Maybe it’s some kind of art.”


    “Art shouldn’t be this ugly!”


    Eliana just ignored what the passers-by were saying. However, Maurice couldn’t ignore it.


    He caught up with her, took off his coat which was slightly cleaner than hers on hers, and draped it over


    her shoulders.


    “I don’t want to wear it! I don’t need your hypocritical care. Besides, your coat is also dirty. Take it off


    me,” Eliana protested, even though the coat made her feel warm.


    However, Maurice ignored what she said and stopped her from taking off the coat. Then, he put his arm


    around her shoulder.


    “Since my coat is dirty, let’s go to the mall to buy some new clothes,” he said casually.


    “I don’t want new clothes. I want to go home!”


    Eliana refused again.


    “Well, you might not need new clothes, but I do. You were the one who got my clothes dirty,


    remember?”


    Hearing Maurice ming her, Eliana was so angry that she didn’t even know what to say.


    She was also too exhausted emotionally to argue with him now, so he forcibly took her to the nearest


    shopping mall.
