Chapter 464

“They will disagree? But why?” Earle asked in confusion.

Maurice rubbed his forehead. “These children have parents. You want them to live in the Moran family’s

house? Of course, their parents won’t let it happen. After all, the parents of these two children are still

alive. How can they just give their children to other people?”

“You don’t have to worry about that,” Earle said confidently. “It’s actually lucky for them to send their

children to our family. They will definitely agree.”

“How can you be sure about that?” Maurice asked, raising his eyebrows.

“Of course, I went to their house this morning. The children’s parents were very friendly. It won’t be

difficult to convince them to let the children live with us.”

Maurice was stunned for a moment. “Their father was also there?”

“Yes, he was there,” Earle answered affirmatively.

Maurice was even more confused.

How could Adrian and Aileen’s father be at home? Was Jonathan back from abroad?

And he directly lived in the house he got for Eliana?

Maurice looked at the twins and asked, “Is your father at home today?”

Aileen and Adrian looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Aileen was more confused. “Our father?”

“Yes, that’s right. Is he back?” Maurice asked again.

Aileen didn’t know what to say. Did she have a father?

Adrian lowered his head for a moment. Then he seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.

“Yes.”

“No.”

Adrian and Aileen spoke at the same time, but they had different answers.

Maurice became more serious this time. “Is he home or not?”

Adrian grabbed Aileen’s hand and said to Maurice firmly, “Yes.”

Since Adrian held her hand, Aileen didn’t say a word this time.

She looked at Adrian in confusion with a little anger in her eyes. It was as if she was asking, “Why are

you lying?”

But he just gave her a reassuring look.

Maurice had hurt Eliana, so Adrian wanted Maurice to misunderstand her and stay away from her.

Maurice stared at Adrian’s excited face, but he didn’t completely believe what Adrian said.

But the scene this morning when Eliana stopped him, saying that she wanted to talk to him about

something, kept flashing in his mind.

Did she want to tell him that Jonathan was back?

Since the real father of the twins was back, she couldn’t wait to disassociate herself from him? Did she

really want to return to Jonathan?

There was no way he would let it happen.

So what if Jonathan was back? As long as he was here, Eliana would never escape from him for the

rest of her life.

Maurice’s anger was instantly ignited. His face darkened, and he clenched his fists. He was like an

angry beast.

His terrifying aura frightened Adrian and Aileen. Their faces turned pale.

“Maurice, that’s enough!” Earle stood in front of the twins. “What are you doing? Don’t you see that

you’re scaring them?”

Earle touched Aileen’s and Adrian’s heads and said kindly, “It’s time for your class. I won’t disturb you.

Go ahead.”

Adrian and Aileen nodded and went back to their seats obediently.

Then Earle took Maurice to an empty part of the corridor outside the classroom.

The expression on his face changed. He raised his cane and hit Maurice several times.

“How dare you scare the children!”

“Grandpa, I didn’t.”

Maurice knew that Earle was only taking this opportunity to hit him, so he didn’t dodge. He felt the pain

in his back after he was hit several times.

Earle only stopped hitting Maurice when he was almost out of breath. He finally vented his anger, and

thus felt much better. His chest was less stuffy now.

After he calmed down, he looked at Maurice and said, “I wasn’t kidding just now. I really wanted to take

the kids home because I really like them. I will leave this matter to you. Go talk to their parents. I’m

going back to the hospital now.”

Maurice was about to open his mouth to refuse. But Earle interrupted him.

“If you don’t want to, then I’ll do it myself.”

His words were a clear threat.

Of course, Maurice had to agree. He couldn’t let Earle meet Eliana.

“Okay, leave this matter to me.”

Earle and Maurice had no idea that someone else was looking at them secretly.

Silas had been feeling that something was wrong with Earle all this while, so he quietly followed them

not far away. And when he saw that Earle and Maurice were discussing something, he frowned.

What Earle said before rang out in his mind.

“These are my new grandchildren.”

At that time, he thought that Earle only said those words out of anger.

But now, it seemed that Earle really meant it. He really wanted Aileen and Adrian to be his

grandchildren.
