Chapter 363

“You?” Corbin arched his brow and answered, “The boss instructed that you do the cleaning while

Eliana is away.”

“Why?” Lilian’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How come she can go to the manor while I do the cleaning?”

“Lilian, you are stupid, but others are not,” Corbin sneered. “There was a copy missing in the meeting

just now. Do you think our boss wouldn’t figure out who was behind it? You could have simply asked an

assistant to make copies of the documents. But you insisted on doing it yourself, and you ended up

making a mistake. Shouldn’t you face the consequences?”

Lilian’s face flushed as Corbin chastised her. She was speechless.

They completely ignored Eliana. She didn’t get a chance to say anything until the two had finished

saying whatever they wanted to say.

“I disagree!” Eliana protested. “I am not going to the Moon Lake Manor!”

She didn’t want to go to any party with Maurice.

Something bad would happen every time she went out with him.

She still wanted to live peacefully even for just a few days.

Corbin was surprised by her reaction, so he asked, “If you don’t go to the Moon Lake Manor with our

boss, do you want to clean here with Lilian? Haven’t you already done enough cleaning? Do you want

to do it again?”

Eliana was taken aback. “Why do I have to do the cleaning?” she retorted, blushing. “I’m a designer.

My work does not include cleaning.”

“I think you’d better obey the boss,” Corbin whispered in her ear, sympathetically looking at her. “The

boss now controls your entire family. Aren’t you afraid that if you don’t go, the boss will immediately

assign the twins to do the cleaning with you?”

Upon hearing that, a ridiculous scene immediately appeared in Eliana’s mind.

Her family, along with Nana, wore aprons and were sweeping the floor bitterly. The two children were

crying because they were so hungry.

Eliana shut up in an instant.

She only needed to attend a party.

As a mother, she knew when to eat humble pie and when to hold her head high. Besides, Maurice

couldn’t devour her.

Eliana frowned and said, “All right, I… I’ll go.”

When evening came, Eliana left work and went back home. Aileen and Adrian ran up to her as soon as

the door was opened.

“Mommy!”

“Hey, kids, did you have a good time in the kindergarten today?” Eliana smiled and gave her kids warm

hugs.

Aileen raised her head, her big eyes blinking. She looked really adorable. “We had a great time in

kindergarten. Were you happy at work?”

“What?”

Eliana was taken aback when she heard that. What an odd question from a youngster!

Adrian also asked, “Mommy, have you been in trouble at work recently? Did anyone bully you?”

Eliana was stupefied. Why were her kids acting so strange today?

“Why are you suddenly interested in my work, honey?”

Aileen hemmed and hawed.

Adrian was an impetuous kid. Seeing that Aileen’s attempt failed, he wanted to ask his mother directly

whether Silas’ uncle was the bad boss who bullied his mother.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Aileen grabbed his hand, stopping him. “Nothing, Mommy.

We’re just worried that you’ll be too tired at work.”

Eliana almost burst into tears when she saw Aileen’s sweet smile. Her children were really thoughtful.

“I’m not tired. I’m going to work hard for our family.”

She then kissed each of them.

“Mommy, have a rest. Adrian and I are going to the backyard.”

Adrian, who was frowning, followed Aileen to the backyard.

After a while, Adrian let go of Aileen’s hand and asked, “Aileen, why didn’t you let me ask about Silas’

uncle?”

Aileen raised her head proudly, rested one hand on her waist, and poked Adrian on the forehead.

“Adrian, are you stupid? We should give Mommy and our new daddy more time to get to know each

other. If you ask too many questions, it won’t be romantic.”

Adrian was stunned. He covered his forehead.

Their new daddy?

Was Silas’ uncle going to be his new daddy?

He hadn’t considered it yet.
