Chapter 435

Nana returned home late at night. She seemed to be in high spirits and was even humming a song.

When she opened the door, she was stunned to see Eliana sitting alone in the living room, visibly lost

in thought.

“Honey, what’s up with you?” Nana asked with concern.

“Nana, you’re back!”

It was only when she heard Nana’s voice that Eliana came to her senses.

Nana ignored Eliana’s greeting and asked seriously, “Eliana, why aren’t you sleeping at this time of

night? What are you doing alone in the living room?”

“I just can’t fall asleep,” Eliana replied perfunctorily.

“Oh, I see.”

Nana believed her word and didn’t not to think too much.

Seeing that Nana was visibly very happy, Eliana couldn’t help teasing her. “Nana, tell me frankly, you

and Corbin, you… You guys are in a relationship, right?”

Nana was a little shy and stammered, “Well, we’re… we’re just friends…”

Eliana was utterly stunned. “I don’t get it. It’s obvious you like him. Hasn’t Corbin confessed his love for

you yet?”

Upon hearing what Eliana said, Nana burst into laughter. “Corbin… He seems to have never been in a

relationship, so he’s a bit shy…”

Eliana was stunned to hear that Corbin had never been in a relationship before.

She couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s really hard to understand love. Corbin has never had a romantic

relationship before, so he seems a bit silly about it. I, on the other hand, already have two children, but

I’m still confused about love.”

“Honey, tell me, what happened between you and Maurice this time?”

After hearing what Eliana had just said, Nana sensed that something was wrong.

With a bitter smile, Eliana told Nana everything that had happened tonight.

“Well, this time it was all my fault. I realized too late that I had misunderstood him. I don’t know how to

face him now.”

Nana came to sit next to Eliana. She put her arm around Eliana’s shoulder and comforted her, “If you

want to clear up the misunderstanding, you better take real action!”

“How?” Eliana asked sadly.

“Well, you have to calm down first. Go back to work as usual. If you meet Maurice, keep your cool and

talk to him in order to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible. What do you think?”

“That makes sense!” Eliana replied with a bright smile.

Nana quickly had another idea. “I can also ask Corbin to tell you when Maurice is in a good mood. You

can go to Maurice and clear up the misunderstanding at that time.”

The idea appealed to Eliana. However, she was still a little hesitant. “Won’t it put you into too much

trouble?” Eliana asked worriedly.

However, Nana quickly reassured her, “Honey, don’t worry! The fact that I help you means that I help

myself. After all, you, me, Aileen and Adrian are all under Maurice’s control. Who would like to live a life

under surveillance?”

Nana’s face was serious.

Eliana was silent for a moment. Then she looked at Nana and said seriously, “Nana, sometimes you

seem to be enjoying your life right now…”

Nana was very reluctant to stay in the Pierce family’s house when they had just moved in. She

complained every day that Maurice was a freak and asked Eliana to not compromise.

But now she seemed to have adjusted to this life. When she spoke of Maurice now, she didn’t complain

anymore.

She had even just proposed to Eliana to reconcile with Maurice…

Nana paused for a few seconds when she heard what Eliana said.

She couldn’t help thinking that Eliana was right to an extent.

Why did she suggest Eliana to make up with that freak Maurice?

Didn’t she hate Maurice to the core?

Nana made deep introspection to understand when her attitude towards Maurice had changed.

She felt it all came from her frequent contact with Corbin.

Every time they met, Corbin would harp on about how special his boss treated Eliana and all the things

his boss had done for Eliana.

At first, she just scoffed at the whole thing, but over time, her hatred for Maurice had seriously

subsided.

After Corbin saved her so many times, Nana began to trust him blindly and no longer doubted what he

said.

After the deep introspection, Nana discovered the crux of the problem. She exclaimed, “I see. As

Maurice’s hostage and accomplice, Corbin is constantly brainwashing me…”

“You are probably right. We are prisoners of Maurice and he won’t let us go anytime soon.”

Eliana and Nana looked at each other and sighed in unison.
