Chapter 410

Maurice stuck his head out of the window and called anxiously, “Eliana!”

“I’m here!”

Eliana stood on the edge of the window sill, her back firmly against the wall. She was in a very

dangerous position and she knew it. In fact, she was so scared that her whole body was shaking.

Maurice was relieved to see that she was fine.

However, Eliana was furious with Maurice and didn’t wait to be safe inside to take out her anger on

him.

“Maurice, it’s all your fault! Why did you bring them here? If I haven’t been so smart, I would have been

discovered!”

Hearing her complaints, Maurice couldn’t help smiling. “It looks like you are really fine. It didn’t matter if

they found you here. You really didn’t have to do such a dangerous thing.”

“I was just saving your ass. Do you understand?”

Eliana thought back to how Earle had hit Maurice with his cane. If she hadn’t been there to stop Earle,

Maurice would have ended up in the hospital.

If Earle found her here this time, he would definitely be outraged.

“Can’t you understand that I did it for you? I just didn’t want you to get into trouble,” Eliana muttered

angrily.

Upon hearing what she said, Maurice raised his eyebrows and looked at her sternly. “What did you just

say?”

“Nothing!” Eliana replied quickly, her face blushing.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, which distracted Eliana. She lost her balance and was about to fall.

“Ah!” Eliana screamed out of fear.

“Watch out!”

Seeing the horror that was about to happen, Maurice didn’t think twice and rushed to catch Eliana.

Fortunately, he managed to catch her just in time. Gasping for breath, Eliana looked down with eyes

filled with fear. She really thought it was the end for her…

God, she was so scared just now! She almost died!

“Don’t stand still. Give me your hand,” Maurice said anxiously.

Eliana swallowed hard and tried to reach for Maurice’s hand.

It wasn’t until she managed to grab hold of Maurice’s hand that she finally felt relieved.

“Now, come over slowly,” Maurice said softly as he held her hand tightly.

Holding Maurice’s hand, Eliana slowly squatted until she finally sat on the window sill.

God!

Feeling the solid wooden ledge beneath her body, Eliana finally relaxed. However, the moment she sat

down on the window sill, her legs began to shake uncontrollably.

“Come on, why don’t you continue?” Maurice asked in confusion.

Eliana bit her bottom lip and said in a low voice, “I… I can’t move.”

Hearing this, Maurice couldn’t help laughing. However, he said softly, “Don’t move then.”

He let go of her hand and stretched out his arms to hold her waist. Then, he carried her back into the

room.

“Ah!”

Once safely in the bedroom, Eliana breathed a sigh of relief.

She could finally relax. Her whole body was wet with sweat. She felt weak all over and subconsciously

fell into Maurice’s arms.

“It’s okay now,” Maurice whispered, staring affectionately at the woman in his arms.

He held her waist with one hand and gently stroke her hair with the other.

Seeing this, Corbin immediately left the room and closed the door.

The dangerous situation in which Eliana found herself a moment ago had marked her deeply so that

she trembled for a long time. She leaned her head against Maurice’s chest and listened to his

heartbeat. His smell and the beating of his heart soothed her.

Eliana gradually calmed down in Maurice’s arms.

However, this moment of respite was short lived as trouble soon came again.

Both Harriet and Earle heard a strange noise coming from the room just now.

Harriet immediately recognized that it was Eliana’s voice.

Eliana must still be in that room!

Harriet and Earle stalked back to the bedroom. However, they were stopped at the door by Corbin.

“Miss Stone, Mr. Moran, there’s a mouse in the room and it scared the maid. She’s actually trying to

catch it. You can’t go in right now.”

“You are lying. How can there be mice here?” Harriet sneered.

“Of course there is. However, the mouse in the room looked strange. It had fair hair and strange

patterns on it. It ran really fast and was hard to catch.”

Corbin vividly described the mouse’s appearance. However, the more Harriet listened, the weirder she

felt.

The thing was, she was actually wearing a light-colored dress today, and there were plume-shaped

patterns on it.

He was indirectly calling her a mouse!
