Chapter 390

“What the hell are you looking at? Close your eyes and the curtain, you pervert!” Nana screamed,

quickly covering her bare breasts with her hands.

The sight of a nude woman made Corbin blush and shut his eyes in a panic.

“Okay, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to stare!”

Utterly ashamed, he rushed towards the exit of the room. But because he couldn’t see clearly, he

almost tripped over various items scattered on the floor and blushed even more.

Nana couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Corbin run away in embarrassment.

The depression in her heart almost faded away completely. After their brief encounter, a smile slowly

broke out on Nana’s face. Corbin was actually pretty cute.

Although he acted awkwardly and clumsily at times, he proved to be highly dependable at crucial

moments.

Nana had crossed paths with several handsome men before. But there was something about Corbin

that caught her eye and made him stand out from the rest.

On the following day, Eliana woke up from her deep sleep. Squinting her eyes, she looked at the clock

and saw it was already afternoon.

Eliana stood up slowly from the bed and immediately felt sore all over. It was as if she had been torn

apart and put together again.

A disappointed look appeared on her face. As expected, Maurice was nowhere to be found.

This man was unbelievable. After each time he slept with her, he would always disappear the next day.

As she rubbed her aching waist, a note on the bedside table soon caught her attention.

Eliana picked it up and recognized Maurice’s beautiful handwriting. “If you still feel exhausted, take

your time and have a good rest. I need you to attend a banquet with me tonight. I will send someone to

bring you clothes later.”

“So he obviously knew that I would not feel well! Then why was he so rough with me last night?”

Eliana couldn’t help but recall the lustful scene the night before. Maurice ravaged and dominated her

with intense passion as if it was his first time having sex with a woman. Despite Eliana’s constant pleas

for him to stop, he pushed her further to her limit, causing her to lose consciousness.

Damn him! She wished that Maurice would soon suffer impotence.

With her cheeks flushed in anger, Eliana crumpled the note in her hand.

The moment she finished freshening up in the bathroom, a knock came from outside the door.

“Eliana, are you there?”

It was Nana’s voice!

Eliana hurried over and unlocked the door.

“Nana, what are you doing here? Where are the kids?”

Sighing deeply, Nana walked in with a gloomy face. She held her best friend’s hand and began to

apologize.

“Eliana, I failed to take good care of the children. I was preoccupied and let them out of my sight. It’s all

my fault. I’m so sorry.”

Eliana patted Nana’s hand and smiled at her reassuringly. “Nana, don’t blame yourself. These things

happen even to the best of us. There’s been a lot going on these days, and I couldn’t be there for my

kids. You stepped up and have taken responsibility for raising my children while I was gone. I am

forever in your debt. How can I possibly blame you?”

“Oh, Eliana. I’m so thankful to have you as my best friend!”

Tears welled up in Nana’s eyes as she hugged Eliana tightly. After a few moments, Nana whispered in

Eliana’s ear, “Corbin told me something. He said that Aileen and Adrian disturbed you and Maurice last

night. What happened afterward? Since the kids had left, did you two do anything interesting?”

Hearing her words, Eliana blushed immediately. She jabbed her finger at Nana and exclaimed, “Hey,

can you stop thinking about other people’s business?”

“Well, I just wanted to know how your night went.” Seeing the fierce expression on Eliana’s face, Nana

raised both hands and took a step back. “Okay, relax. I won’t bring it up anymore.”

Nana subconsciously tucked her hair behind one ear, and the bruises on her wrist were exposed.

“Nana, oh my goodness!” With her eyes widened in shock, Eliana grabbed Nana’s hand and examined

it. “What happened to you? Where did you get these bruises from?”

Eliana winced at the sight of the scars. The bruises on the wrist of her fair-skinned friend stood out and

looked very painful.

What was the meaning of this? It looked like her wrist had been tightly bound by a rope.

Nana gulped anxiously as her eyes fell to the floor.

“Did someone hurt you? What happened yesterday? Talk to me, Nana.”

Eliana was clearly agitated.

“It’s nothing, Eliana. I’m fine.” Nana withdrew her hand and said, “This is the price I have to pay for my

ignorance. I deserved it.”

Seeing the loneliness and pain in Nana’s eyes, Eliana felt very sorry for her. But she didn’t know how to

comfort her dear friend.

Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door.

“Eliana, are you inside?”

It was Harriet.

When Eliana opened the door, Harriet smiled with a big gift box in her hands.

“Hello, Eliana. Mr. Moran asked me to bring you this evening dress for the banquet tonight.”
