Chapter 351

Maurice didn’t know that Eliana had already gotten off the car. At this moment, he was in the pharmacy,

picking out painkillers and… tampons.

The pharmacy assistants were so fascinated by the handsome, elegant and tall man inside their shop

that they couldn’t help peeping at him.

“My goodness! Look at that man. He is so handsome!”

“He seems to be buying painkillers and tampons. They must be for his girlfriend.”

“I really envy his girlfriend. She is so lucky to have such a handsome and considerate boyfriend who

buys her tampons in person.”

While the female pharmacy assistants were infatuated with the handsome Maurice, he, on the other

hand, was confused, looking at the different brands and sizes of tampons in his hands.

He didn’t find it hard to choose painkillers. But it was different in tampons’ case. He had never bought

anything like this in his life.

One of the pharmacy assistants noticed the confusion on Maurice’s face, so she took the initiative to

approach him and asked, “Sir, do you need information about these products?”

Maurice looked a little embarrassed. He said, “Well… I honestly don’t know how to choose from these

ones.”

“Sir, is it your first time to do this? No wonder your girlfriend is waiting for you,” said the pharmacy

assistant, teasing Maurice.

His girlfriend was waiting for him?

Maurice turned around just in time to see Eliana running out of the car, jumping happily in the night.

She didn’t look uncomfortable, but it seemed that she was going to run away.

At the sight of her, the beating heart in his chest seemed to gradually get colder.

Maurice stared at Eliana expressionlessly, thinking that if she really chose to run away this time, he

would punish her and everyone around her mercilessly.

The pharmacy assistant patiently explained the brands and sizes of tampons to Maurice without

noticing that he was on the verge of going berserk.

But strangely, Eliana did not go farther. Instead, she was getting closer and closer to the pharmacy.

She walked into the pharmacy.

“There you are. You haven’t chosen anything yet?”

Eliana went straight to Maurice and glanced at the tampons on the shelf. Then she casually took a few

and dragged Maurice to the counter.

When they walked out of the pharmacy, the cold wind suddenly blew on her face, making her shiver.

She felt so chilly that she couldn’t help holding Maurice’s hand tightly.

“You had the chance to run away just now. Why didn’t you do it?” Because of the wind, Maurice’s voice

was a little broken. However, Eliana heard it clearly.

She stopped and thought for a while. Then she pretended to be helpless and said, “Because I can’t run

away without money. And if I get caught, you will definitely torture me.”

Of course, she couldn’t tell him the real reason.

Actually, when she saw that he went to buy tampons just because of her words, her heart softened.

She didn’t want to escape anymore.

As Maurice stared at her flushed earlobes, an impulse surged in his heart. He wrapped his arms

around her slender body and whispered in her ear, “Listen, Eliana. No matter how many times you run

away, I will get you back. You will never escape from me all your life.”

It was obviously a threat. But this time, Eliana was not afraid anymore.

She didn’t even resist when he hugged her. Instead, she coaxed him like a child, “Okay, I see.”

On their way, the atmosphere between them was no longer tense. It was much better than before.

Finally, the car stopped in front of the cottage where Preston had once brought Eliana.

As soon as Eliana entered the room, she took out the painkillers, wanting to take some. But Maurice

suddenly stopped her.

“Wait here for a while.”

Maurice then went to the kitchen. Soon, he came back with two glasses of water and handed one of

them to Eliana.

“Here, take the pill and then drink some water.”

He did all this very naturally, and it brought warmth to her heart.

Eliana took the glass and found that it was similar to the other glass in Maurice’s hand. Obviously,

these were used by the family.

The warmth in her heart soon spread to her limbs.

As the night came quietly, Maurice and Eliana lay on the same bed.

The room was so dark and quiet that Eliana seemed to hear her own heartbeat.

Suddenly, a pair of big hand placed on her waist and took her into a warm embrace.

At this moment, Eliana felt at ease. It was a feeling she hadn’t had for a long time.

She raised her head, and in the faint moonlight, she could only see the outline of Maurice’s face. She

was in a trance. She couldn’t tell whether it was Preston or Maurice hugging her.

“Preston…” Eliana unconsciously murmured.

“Hmm…” Maurice’s voice was low and pleasant.

“Maurice…” Eliana murmured again.

“Hmm…” Maurice answered without hesitation.

One called out, and the other answered. Just in this way, warmth silently flowed between them.

On such an ordinary night, Eliana and Maurice suddenly seemed to become an ordinary couple,

affectionate and warm.
