Chapter 255

After Eliana left, Adrian was sure that something was wrong.

Being asked to leave home so suddenly made him uneasy. He suspected that something huge had

happened, but he had no idea what it was.

When Nana tried to get him to leave, he refused.

“Nana, I won’t play hide and seek unless you tell us what’s really going on.”

“Adrian!” Adrian refused to move from the sofa.

Nana stared at him. It was a real headache for her.

Adrian was sensitive but stubborn. Once he made up his mind, it was hard to get him to change it, and

Nana didn’t know how.

When Nana was at a loss, Aileen approached them.

She walked towards her brother with her favorite doll in her arms.

“Adrian, don’t be so stubborn. We need to go.”

Adrian shook his head. “No, I won’t. Aileen, have you ever thought that the person playing hide and

seek with us might be Dad?”

Nana’s heart skipped a beat. Adrian had guessed the truth.

Would Aileen also refuse to leave?

Nana looked over at Aileen.

Aileen pursed her lips and clutched her doll. “I’d still go,” she said firmly. “Mommy asked us to leave.

No matter what reason she has, I trust her.”

“Even if it’s Dad, you won’t regret leaving?”

Adrian knew how much Aileen wanted a father.

“I won’t regret it, Adrian. Mommy has been taking care of us our whole lives. I do want a daddy, but if

having a daddy will make Mommy sad, I would rather not have a daddy.”

Nana and Adrian were shocked.

Neither of them had expected that Aileen, who always begged to have a handsome father, would be so

sensitive to her mother’s feelings.

Adrian realized that Aileen was more sensible than he gave her credit for. She had many things hidden

in her heart.

Aileen’s attitude swayed Adrian.

His sister was right. He must stand by his mother and obey her request.

“Nana, I’ve changed my mind. Let’s go.”

Finally, they were able to leave.

As soon as Eliana stepped outside the building, she encountered Preston.

Damn it! Why was he here?

“Didn’t I say that I would come and meet you, Preston? Why didn’t you keep your promise?”

Eliana was flustered. Preston’s presence ruined her plan.

“I couldn’t wait.”

Maurice stepped forward and gave Eliana an intense look.

Ever since he found out about the children, every second had been painful to him. He had to know the

truth as soon as possible. He couldn’t wait for Eliana to come to him.

Just then, Nana came downstairs in an elevator with Kimora and the twins.

Eliana saw them out of the corner of her eye. Her heart began to pound.

She quickly stepped forward to block Preston’s sight.

“That’s no excuse for arriving at my house without you telling me!” Eliana said loudly to attract

Preston’s attention.

But her strange behavior only made Maurice suspicious.

He thought that she seemed to be hiding something…

Maurice gave her a suspicious glance and looked past her.

Eliana’s heart stopped beating for a moment. Her secret was going to be exposed.

“Eliana, what on earth are you hiding from me?”

Maurice looked around but saw nothing.

Nana had noticed Preston’s arrival and hidden with the twins in a corner out of his sight.

Didn’t he see them?

Eliana’s heart began to beat again. She knew that Nana and the children must be inside, so she had to

find a way to distract Preston and give them a chance to escape.

What should she do? What could she possibly do to avert disaster?

Her brain went into overdrive and she felt like she was suffocating.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Eliana’s mind.

She knew what she had to do.

“Eliana, why don’t you tell me what you are hiding? You…”

The rest of Maurice’s words were cut off.

Eliana kissed him hard on the mouth.
