Chapter 325

The clock ticked slowly ever since she was locked up. Every minute seemed like an eternity. Eliana

couldn’t hold on any longer.

Besides, she had lost her phone. She hadn’t contacted her family for almost two days. The children

and Nana must be anxious now.

What do I do? Eliana wondered.

Her stomach was churning with anxiety. Just as she wondered what to do, the gate that had been

locked for two days finally flew open.

Maurice came back.

Eliana immediately sprang to her feet and darted toward the gate.

As expected, Maurice effortlessly picked her up and stopped her.

“Maurice, you have locked me up for two days. What the hell do you want?” she roared as angry tears

filled her eyes.

Maurice slowly closed the gate and threw Eliana on the floor.

He lazily slumped on the sofa, and his deep eyes bore into Eliana’s.

“I just have one simple request: fairness.”

“Fairness?” Eliana was stunned.

“You know all my secrets. It’s fair only if you share your secrets with me. I can investigate it and find the

result. But I want you to tell me the truth, Eliana.”

“What do you mean?” Eliana’s heart skipped a beat.

“I want to know…” Maurice cleared his throat and said, “I want to know if the two children are mine or

not.”

The words came like the bolt in the blue and caught Eliana off guard.

Does Maurice know about the children? Should I tell him the truth? And most importantly, if Maurice

finds that he’s the father of the twins, will he be a good father?

Countless thoughts swarmed in Eliana’s mind.

Maurice was wearing a formal suit. However, the little bowknot on his head looked comical. He was

holding Aileen in his arms and carrying Adrian on his back with a milk bottle in his hand. “If you keep

crying, I will throw you away…” he grunted at the crying children.

Eliana imaged the scene as her skin broke into goosebumps.

He seemed very unreliable.

Maurice didn’t cut for a father.

Besides, it was unreasonable for him to pretend to be two different people to deceive her.

And worst of all, she was sure the Moran family had something to do with the destruction of the Pierce

family.

She was already going through a lot and couldn’t let her children suffer as well.

Eliana looked up and met Maurice’s expectant eyes.

At that moment, she made up her mind to hide the truth.

“Aileen and Adrian are not your children,” she lied. “I met their father abroad.”

Eliana was still quibbling.

Maurice’s brows furrowed. He grew irritated.

Then, he took out something from his pocket. It was the phone Eliana had accidentally lost that day.

She was doomed.

Eliana froze on the spot; she couldn’t move.

“I’m sure a lot of secrets must be hidden in the phone. I’ve asked Corbin to look for someone to crack

the password.”

Maurice turned on the phone and began browsing the photos in the gallery.

There were a lot of pictures of Eliana and the twins ever since they were born.

Strangely enough, there were no pictures of the father of the twins that Eliana had mentioned.

“Are you still lying? As you say, if the father of the twins isn’t me, then why don’t you have a picture of

him? Where is he now? Why hasn’t he come to see his children?” Maurice asked, fixing Eliana with a

piercing stare.

Eliana’s heart beat wildly as if it was about to jump out of her chest. The intensity of his gaze and the

warning in his eyes frightened her.

“So what if I don’t have any pictures of him? The father of the children was with me the entire time. He

was the one who took care of us all these years abroad.”

Eliana bit the bullet and continued to lie.

Abroad?

Maurice’s pupils contracted as someone came to mind.

Jonathan…

“Is Jonathan Bowman the father of your children?” he asked, examining her face.
