Chapter 216

Maurice walked forward to get a closer look.

Just when he got to the door of the shop, the strange man in blue turned around.

It was Nana!

Nana squatted down and gently straightened Aileen’s clothes.

Maurice sighed in relief.

It was just a false alarm. He thought that Aileen was calling Nana Mommy.

Meanwhile, in the shop, Eliana had the feeling that someone was staring at her. She looked around but

did not see anyone suspicious. When she looked back, there was no one at the door.

“Eliana, what’s wrong?” Nana pushed her.

Frowning, Eliana asked, “Nana, do you feel as if someone is staring at us?”

Nana glanced around and saw that all the shop assistants and customers were busy with their own

business.

“Eliana, I don’t see anyone staring at us. Could it just be your imagination?”

Eliana wondered if her brain was playing tricks on her.

She paused for a while. Then she remembered that this shopping mall belonged to the Moran Group.

Maybe Maurice would show up again.

She shivered. “Let’s hurry up and get our shopping done,” she urged Nana. “We have to get out here

as soon as possible. I can’t shake the feeling that something bad will happen if we stay here.”

“That sounds a bit over-dramatic.”

Nana was a little confused, but she didn’t object.

The two picked up the toys and clothes they had chosen and walked to the checkout counter to pay,

taking the children with them.

“Ladies, I have good news. I just received a notice that you aren’t responsible for paying your bill

today.” The female cashier smiled and helped them put the goods into shopping bags.

“We don’t have to pay?” Eliana and Nana exclaimed at the same time.

“Yes, today is our boss’s birthday, and to celebrate it, we are waiving the bill of the 100th guest. That

happens to be you!”

“That’s great!”

Eliana was excited. She had been prepared to spend a lot of money. Now she wouldn’t have to spend

a single coin. Why wouldn’t she be happy?

“Mommy, does she mean that we can get these things without paying?” Aileen asked excitedly.

“Yes. Isn’t that nice?” Eliana smiled.

“Yes!”

Maurice stood a short distance away and felt their happiness fill his own heart.

“Mr. Moran, I have done what you asked.”

The shop owner stood in the same secluded corner as Maurice.

“You did great. I’ll have my secretary send you three times the money they spent.”

There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world unless someone did something kind on purpose.

Maurice stared calmly after Eliana and smiled.

“Eliana, you are being paranoid,” Nana complained as they walked out of the mall. “You were in a hurry

to leave because you thought someone was staring at us. We could have gotten more for free if we

had shopped longer.”

“I can’t explain why, but I feel certain that someone was spying on us.” Nana’s words hadn’t calmed

Eliana down. “Don’t complain,” she added. “If we hadn’t left when we did, we wouldn’t have been the

100th guest.”

Nana sighed. “I guess you’re right. It’s just a shame that we didn’t get more.”

“Well, let’s go.”

The four walked out of the mall, talking and laughing.

This time, they all failed to notice that there was a man staring at them.

Gerald’s secretary Sean was squatting in a quiet corner of the mall and watching them.

Once he saw them leave the mall, he quickly called Gerald and told him what had happened.

“Mr. Moran, I just followed Eliana in the shopping mall. She had two children with her. They seemed to

call her Mommy.”

“What? Eliana has two children?”

Gerald was shocked. He had asked someone to investigate Eliana’s background, but they hadn’t found

out about any children.

Who was their father?

Gerald had to know.
