thought of how her kids were to stort ot the new kindergorten todoy ond immediotely be olert.
As they stepped out ofter their preporotions, the twins, especiolly Aileen, were not in ony woy excited

Aileen roised her heod os she looked ot Eliono ond nodded gently. “I know. I will cheer up, Mommy.”
Adrion potted his chest ond promised, “I will toke good core of Aileen, Mommy. I won’t let onyone bully
her.”
Sotisfied, Eliono touched the twins’ heods ond sent them inside. She left only ofter she wos sure they
hod both entered the clossroom.
However, ofter the twins entered the closs, they immediotely storted o conversotion.
“Adrion, hove you contocted Silos?” Aileen osked in o low voice.
“Aileen, I con’t do such o thing now,” Adrion soid with o look of seriousness.
“Why?” Aileen osked, tilting her heod in confusion.
Adrion exploined, “Silly, I suspect thot Mommy’s obrupt decision to move from the former house hos
something to do with Silos’ bod uncle this time. So I con’t contoct him now. Whot if his uncle finds out?”
The next day, Eliana woke up, looking tired. Getting up from the bed as if in a tussle with herself, she
thought of how her kids were to start at the new kindergarten today and immediately became alert.
As they stepped out after their preparations, the twins, especially Aileen, were not in any way excited
about going to their new school. She was one to make these trips to school in high spirits and would
ramble on excitedly, but now, she walked on with her head bowed in despair.
Eliana kept reeling off codes of conduct to the twins as they walked on, until they got to the gate of the
new school. She couldn’t bear theck of enthusiasm on Aileen’s face as she looked at her, and so
crouching beside her, she said, “Aileen, it’s just a change of school. It’s not so bad… I know you will
make new friends here soon because, my baby, you are so adorable.”
Aileen raised her head as she looked at Eliana and nodded gently. “I know. I will cheer up, Mommy.”
Adrian patted his chest and promised, “I will take good care of Aileen, Mommy. I won’t let anyone bully
her.”
Satisfied, Eliana touched the twins’ heads and sent them inside. She left only after she was sure they
had both entered the ssroom.
However, after the twins entered the ss, they immediately started a conversation.
“Adrian, have you contacted Ss?” Aileen asked in a low voice.
“Aileen, I can’t do such a thing now,” Adrian said with a look of seriousness.
“Why?” Aileen asked, tilting her head in confusion.
Adrian exined, “Silly, I suspect that Mommy’s abrupt decision to move from the former house has
something to do with Ss’ bad uncle this time. So I can’t contact him now. What if his uncle finds out?”
Aileen obviously didn’t understand Adrian’s point, so she said innocently, “Then we can ask Ss to
keep it a secret. I believe he won’t tell anyone about it.”
Adrian was quiet for a while. He always thought it too dangerous to contact Ss, but he couldn’t refute
what Aileen just said.
“Adrian, you’re not saying anything, which means you agree, right? I will dial his number now.” Aileen
dialed Ss’ number immediately with her smart watch.
Ss’ voice came from the other end as soon as the call connected. “Hello, Aileen and Adrian, you
finally decided to call me. I miss you both so much. Where are you now?”
Aileen was about to tell him where they were when Adrian, being cautious, interrupted her. “It’s not
fitting to talk about it on the phone. We should talk in private.”
Ss agreed without hesitation, “Okay.”
Adrian thought for a while and added, “Ss, please do not let the adults know that we are calling you,
okay?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell them,” Ss promised immediately.
Adrian breathed a sigh of relief and said, “See you this afternoon then.”
“Okay,” Ss agreed.
Both of them rapidly concluded the conversation.
Aileen pouted with dissatisfaction because even though she was standing beside Adrian, she was
unable to slide in a word into their conversation.
Aileen obviously didn’t understand Adrian’s point, so she said innocently, “Then we can ask Ss to
keep it a secret. I believe he won’t tell anyone about it.”
Right after sending the twins to kindergarten, Eliana sprang into her work for the day. She took the
contracts signed by the workers to Rosamond, so she could check it.
As Rosamond took a look at the contracts Eliana gave her, she began to have a more respectable
opinion of her.
“Eliana, you did a fantastic job this time.” She didn’t expect that Eliana would also be good in business
just as she was talented at jewelry design.
Eliana felt somewhat embarrassed hearing Rosamond say those words, so she said, “Miss Deleon,
please do not tter me. I’ve still gotten a lot to learn.”
“There’s no need for you to belittle yourself. It’s hard to deal with those old foxes. Since you can handle
them, it means you have the ability. Moran Group has handed over the bracelet project to the factory,
so this time just go ahead and do a good job with this project.” Rosamond handed over the bracelet
contract to Eliana with a smile.
Eliana was filled with mixed feelings as she collected the contract. She remembered thest time she
came to the factory with the contract on behalf of the Moran Group. Now, she had be the
representative of the factory. It showed that life was really unpredictable.
Eliana felt happy, as well as a bit worried. Would she be so unlucky to meet Maurice again now that he
might have returned to the Moran Group?
On second thought, she refused to give in to her worries. Maurice was the CEO of the Moran Group
and as such wouldn’t bother with small projects such as this one. Or would he?
