Chapter 233

In the meanwhile, Eliana was in the shower and Maurice was out doing business.

Eliana hadn’t come out of the bathroom for a long time, despite the fact that the water had stopped

running.

The door to the bathroom caught Maurice’s attention. Did anything happen again to Eliana?

Standing up, he was going to have a look. As soon as he got close enough, he noticed the clothes he

had prepared for her on the sofa.

Eliana was afraid to come out because she had left her clothes on the sofa.

Maurice was both powerless and amused.

He made his way to the bathroom and knocked on the door. “What’s keeping you there, Eliana? Is

there anything I can do for you?”

Eliana was surprised by the unexpected knock at the door while she was in there. She said

unyieldingly, “No.”

That lady was stubborn!

Maurice grinned. “Honestly? Then exit immediately. What’s with all the time you’re spending in my

bathroom?”

While awkwardly clad in a bath towel, Eliana was at a loss.

Her phone rang at that exact moment.

Maurice went and took Eliana’s phone. “Babe” was the name of the caller.

When did Eliana meet a new man?

Who was this person?

Jealousy consumed Maurice’s thoughts.

When Eliana was in the bathroom, she heard her phone ringing as well, which made her nervous.

The kids may have found that she hadn’t arrived home yet and phoned her.

Immediately, Eliana said, “Maurice, assist me in bringing my clothing and cellphone.”

Eliana was bursting to answer the phone, and Maurice noticed it.

His pupils dilated. “You can only pick one of them,” he said coldly.

The rage in Eliana was so palpable that she opened the door just a crack, wanting to let out a scream

at Maurice.

She opened the door to find Maurice standing there. She slammed the door closed.

“I’m having a shower right now. What’s the point of you standing there? What’s the matter with you?”

Eliana’s wrath and shame caused her to lose her cool.

“Who’s babe?” Maurice’s temper had erupted at this point.

“What was that?” Eliana couldn’t make out what he was saying.

Maurice increased his volume, saying, “Your babe has phoned you. What is his name?”

This time, Eliana heard him well and knew her children had called her. She was completely bewildered

at this point.

Silence reigned in the bathroom. Maurice gave a sneering glare.

Since Eliana didn’t tell him, he determined to answer for himself.

Maurice answered the telephone with resolution.

“Hello, Mommy, Where are you now? Why are you still not at home?”

A little child’s voice could be heard on the other end.

He was perplexed, to say the least. It was not clear to him why the youngster referred to Eliana as

Mommy.

The bathroom suddenly erupted in a scream.

“Ah!”

Eliana had just heard Adrian’s voice. She was in such a state of panic that she completely forgot she

was in the bathroom. She wanted to run, but she tripped while attempting to do so.

On impact, Eliana slammed onto the tiled floor hard.

It was a painful fall!

Eliana was dizzy from the fall. She was unable to rise to her feet as she lay on the floor, and her bath

towel slipped down.

In response to Eliana’s screams, Maurice burst into the bathroom without bothering about the phone

call. He didn’t give a damn who the kid was on the other end of the line.

“Eliana, are you alright? Were you hurt?”

Maurice saw her on the floor. Naked and voluptuous, Eliana’s body made her attractive. She had taken

a bath. The heat had turned her skin bright pink.

There was a tightness in Maurice’s throat. He sank to his knees and reached out to lift Eliana.

“Don’t even think about looking at me!”

Eliana flushed and put out her hand to block Maurice’s view.

“It’s nothing new.” Maurice giggled as he teased her.

“Take your eyes off me!”

Eliana used both hands to block Maurice’s eyes.

After the taunting jabs, Maurice finally responded, “Put your hands down first, please. I won’t open my

eyes.”

“Deal?”

“Deal.”

Eliana gradually withdrew her hands and saw that Maurice’s eyes were closed.

“Don’t look at me till I’m clothed,” she said.

“Of course.”

Maurice extended his hand. This time, Eliana didn’t say no.

As he closed his eyes, Maurice was able to feel the softness and suppleness of her skin in his hand.

Eliana’s enticing figure appeared in his thoughts.

Eliana exited the washroom with the help of Maurice. She took the clothing off the sofa and changed

swiftly. When she looked back, she found Maurice standing with his eyes closed behind her.
