Chapter 551
When the wardrobe door was open, Ss instinctively looked up. Seeing it was Eliana, he heaved a
sigh of relief.
Eliana was also relieved to find him and her eyes lit up. She was about to call him, but he quickly
shushed her.
He didn’t want to be found.
Eliana understood and nodded.
At this moment, a maid’s voice came from the door. “Miss Pierce, is he in the room?”
Looking at Ss who was so pitiful right now, Eliana shouted at the door, “I’ve searched the room, but
there’s no one here.”
The sound of footsteps at the door grew more and more distant. After everyone looking for him left this
floor, Eliana took Ss out of the wardrobe.
“Why are you hiding in here?” Eliana asked gently.
Ss looked extremely embarrassed and his face was red. He lowered his head and mumbled, “Miss
Pierce, I’m sorry…”
“What are you apologizing for?” Eliana was confused.
Sobbing, Ss exined, “Because I made a mistake. I know you wanted to hide from my uncle, but
because I secretly went to see Aileen and Adrian, he found them. Miss Pierce, I’m sorry. I didn’t have
many friends growing up, and I am very fond of them. I missed them too much and went to see them.”
Eliana was stunned. So this was the reason why he was apologizing?
Eliana smiled and stroked Ss’ head.
“It’s alright. You don’t have to apologize to me for this. Actually, I am the one who has to apologize to
you. I didn’t know taking Aileen and Adrian away would hurt the three of you so much. I’m sorry…”
“No, no!” Ss interrupted her at once. He raised his head and said seriously, “Miss Pierce, you did
nothing wrong. It was all my fault!”
What a lovely child!
Eliana felt her heart melt. She squatted and hugged Ss tightly.
“Ss, I promise that whatever happens between us adults in the future, it won’t affect your friendship
with Aileen and Adrian. You will always be friends. Okay?”
When Eliana hugged Ss, the little boy’s body stiffened and he looked stunned. As Eliana finished her
words, his face slowly turned red.
He really liked Eliana, Aileen and Adrian.
The warmth of a motherly embrace was all he needed. He buried his head in the crook of Eliana’s neck
and said shyly, “Okay. Thank you, Miss Pierce.”
Eliana finally let go of him and softly pinched his small cheeks. “Promise me you won’t hide like this
anymore. Okay? Go to school now.”
“Okay.”
Ss was very excited all of a sudden and he smiled happily. Now he knew he and the twins would be
friends forever.
The servants heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that Ss was found and willing to go to school
now.
Eliana helped him pack up his schoolbag and walked him to the door.
Ss was about to get in the car when something urred to him. With a hesitant expression, he ran
back to Eliana and said in a low voice, “Miss Pierce, I went too far just now. My uncle is actually a nice
person…”
Eliana paused for a moment and then couldn’t helpughing.
“I understand. You are his family. He loves you,” she said in a low voice.
Of course she knew that Maurice was not a bad person. However, his quick temper would really hurt
his family at times.
As he looked at the beautiful smile on Eliana’s face, a glimmer of hope rose in Ss’s heart.
“Miss Pierce, will you also be my uncle’s family one day?”
He really hoped that Eliana would marry his uncle. In this way, they would all be family, together with
Aileen and Adrian. Then they would never be separated.
However, Eliana didn’t say a word this time. She had mixed feelings.
At that moment, Maurice came over and said sternly to Ss, “Why are you still hanging around? Go to
school.”
Ss snorted and ran away, ignoring Maurice.
Maurice looked helpless as he watched the little boy run away angrily.
Ss was actually Maurice’ste sister’s only child. What could he do about him?Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
