Chapter 434

When Eliana saw the guilty look on Silas’ face, mixed emotions filled her heart.

She knew that what had happened today was not entirely his fault. But she couldn’t help feeling scared.

She couldn’t imagine the pain of losing her children.

“Silas, you must be tired today too. Everything is fine here. You can go home first,” Eliana sighed. She

didn’t accept Silas’ apology.

Silas understood what she meant, so he lowered his head more. There was a guilty and depressed

expression on his face.

Maurice put his hand on Silas’ shoulder, leaned over, and comforted him softly, “Silas, it’s not your

fault.”

Then he took Silas and left the Pierce family’s house.

On their way home, Silas still thought of what had happened during the day. He couldn’t help asking

Maurice, “Do you know who is Aileen and Adrian’s father?”

Maurice was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand why Silas suddenly became curious about it.

“Why do you ask?”

Silas answered honestly, “Because I really hope that you are their father.”

“Why me?” Silas’ answer made Maurice even more confused.

“So I can be their real family.”

There was a trace of expectation in Silas’ voice.

Maurice couldn’t help laughing. “Do you like them so much that you want them to be your family?”

Silas nodded. “Yes, I like them very much.”

Real family?

It could never happen.

After all, the twins’ father was not him but Jonathan.

At the thought of this, Maurice’s face suddenly darkened.

“I’m not the twins’ father.”

“Oh…” Silas looked disappointed. “Miss Pierce is so angry today. Will she not let me play with Aileen

and Adrian anymore?”

At the mention of this matter, Maurice felt morose.

“Silas, you should stop playing with those two kids in the future. I don’t want Eliana to blame you again

if something happens.”

Silas was distressed at once. “But I want to play with Aileen and Adrian.”

“Silas, just listen to me!”

After saying this, Maurice immediately pulled a long face.

“No, I don’t want to listen to you!”

Silas stubbornly turned his head sideways and covered his ears, not wanting to hear Maurice’s words

anymore.

No one was willing to give in, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became depressing.

They soon arrived at the Moran family’s house.

Silas opened the door and rushed out of the car. Maurice could only sigh silently and follow him.

Silas ran into his room and threw himself on the bed, feeling dejected.

There was his family photo on the bedside table. At that time, his parents were still there. They held his

hands and smiled happily.

He hugged the family photo, and Aileen’s words echoed in his mind.

“You are both my older brothers, we are related!”

Silas thought that he had found a new family, but he was wrong. Eliana would not let Aileen and Adrian

become his family anymore.

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. Tears streamed down his face like a waterfall.

Maurice was worried about Silas, so he went straight to the door of the boy’s room. He heard Silas’

suppressed crying from the inside.

He knocked, opened the door, and walked in. He saw Silas lying on the bed and crying secretly with

the family photo in his arms.

“Silas, are you alright?”

Maurice wanted to walk over and comfort Silas.

But when Silas saw Maurice approaching, he was very resistant. He grabbed a pillow and threw it at

Maurice. Then he buried his head in another pillow and shouted, “Go away! I don’t want to see you

anymore!”

Watching Silas lose his temper, Maurice didn’t know what to do for a while. He couldn’t help feeling

very depressed.

In the Pierce family’s house, Eliana and Adrian coaxed Aileen to sleep.

Eliana patted Adrian on the head and said, “Adrian, you must be tired. Go to bed now.”

“Mommy…” Adrian raised his head and looked at Eliana as if he had made up his mind. “Actually, what

happened today is not Silas’ uncle’s fault.”

Eliana was confused. “What do you mean? What really happened to you today?”

Adrian thought it over for a while. Then he came up with an explanation that could not only keep his

promise to Earle but also make him explain to his mother clearly.

“You and Nana didn’t come to pick us up, so Silas offered to send us home. But on the way, we met an

old man who had a heart attack. We had to take him to the hospital, so we went home late.”

“Then why didn’t you immediately tell me?” Eliana was surprised by what she had learned.

“Because the old man didn’t want his family to worry about him. He begged us to keep it a secret. We

promised him not to tell anyone. We wanted to keep our promise, so we didn’t tell you about it.”

Adrian’s explanation made Eliana feel a little guilty.

It seemed that she really misunderstood Maurice this time.
