Chapter 580
Was Eliana making him a promise?
Maurice’s heart skipped a beat. He seriously warned, “Eliana, remember what you said today. If you run away again…”
However, he was unable to finish his sentence.
The thing was that every time he threatened Eliana, no matter how serious he was, he would end up being softhearted and the so-called punishment would remain in abeyance.
That had happened so often that he couldn’t find anything to threaten Eliana this time. Maurice never managed to get really angry with Eliana and that bothered him a bit. Could he ever make her to be scared of his threat again?
He couldn’t answer that question either.
“Don’t worry. I won’t run away again.”
When Eliana said these words, she suddenly felt like everything was settled. A sense of undisguised bitterness suddenly rose in her heart. However, she also felt a strange sweet feeling in her heart.
She was no longer alone. From now on, there was someone in the world who loved her and cared about her.
Maurice and Eliana were silent for a moment, each holding their phone to their ear. It was as if they could hear each other’s heartbeat gradually quickening.
It was Maurice who broke the silence. “By the way, I was delayed by something and that is why I didn’t come back for dinner,” Maurice explained, feeling guilty for breaking his promise tonight.
“It’s okay. I didn’t really expect you to come anyway, so I just casually cooked something. You can come next time,” Eliana replied calmly.
It didn’t take much for Maurice and Eliana to really feel like they were a couple.
Aileen and Adrian, who were standing behind their mother, clearly saw what was going on.
Aileen put on a serious look and asked to her brother, “Adrian, do you think Mommy is in love?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! Mommy spends her days with us. When did she have the time to meet someone and fall in love?” Adrian replied with a pout.
At this moment, Aileen’s eyes lit up and she said excitedly, “What about Mr. Moran? I really think Mommy is in love. Nana was like this when she was in a relationship last time!”
At the mention of Maurice, Adrian immediately pulled a long face.
Although he didn’t want to admit it, he also had a feeling that his mother might be in love, and the person she was dating was probably the man he hated the most.
“But… I don’t like that bad guy! I don’t want Mommy to be with him,” Adrian protested.
Aileen pursed her lips and snorted. “Adrian, you never like any man who is too close to Mommy. In the past, it was Mr. Bowman you didn’t like!”
That was right. Jonathan!
How could he forget him?
All of a sudden, an idea struck Adrian.
He remembered that before they came back, Jonathan had told him that if he and his mother were unhappy, he could call Jonathan at any time.
Now was the right time to call him!
Adrian’s heart began to beat faster. However, on second thought, he felt that Jonathan also had a thing for his mother. He suddenly wasn’t so sure about calling Jonathan anymore.
Adrian thought hard, trying to judge which of Maurice and Jonathan was the most hateful. After thinking for a long time, he took his smart watch and secretly texted Jonathan, telling him about their recent situation. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Adrian paid attention to his words when sending the message and didn’t make his intentions clear right away. He wanted to probe Jonathan first.
After sending the message, he lay in the bed, his eyes fixed on his smart watch as he waited for Jonathan’s reply.
He waited for a long time but there was no reply.
Why was Mr. Bowman so silent at this critical moment? If nothing was done, his mother would be taken away by the bad guy.
The mere thought of it made Adrian furious. He threw his smart watch aside and buried his face in the pillows. Slowly, he fell asleep.
What Adrian didn’t know was that when he texted Jonathan asking him to come home, Jonathan had just got off the plane.
He was in this city.
In the wee hours of the morning, outside the empty airport, the sound of a fleet of luxury cars suddenly broke the silence of the night. The cars slowly stopped. A group of well-trained bodyguards in black got out of the cars and quickly lined up in two lines.
Moments later, a man in a gray overcoat walked out of the airport, surrounded by many people.
An assistant in a suit walked up to him, bowed and asked, “Mr. Bowman, are you going to see Miss Pierce now?”
