Chapter 509

After talking with Earle, Eliana went straight home.

As soon as she entered the door, her two cute children ran to her and hugged her thighs lovingly.

“Mommy, you’re back!”

Eliana forced herself to cheer up. She squatted down to chat with Adrian and Aileen.

“Children, did you have a good time at school today?”

“Yes, Mommy. I made handicrafts with Silas and Ivy today. We also played hide and seek between

lessons.”

Aileen excitedly told Eliana what she had done at school today.

Adrian couldn’t help but complain, “Every time we play hide and seek, you are the first to get caught.

And I’m always being discovered because of you.”

“No, it’s your fault. You always hide in my chosen hiding place. I won’t be caught if not because of you,”

Aileen retorted.

Seeing the excitement on the two children’s faces when they talked about kindergarten, Eliana almost

didn’t have the heart to tell them her decision.

“Children, stop fighting, okay? Listen to me first…”

Adrian and Aileen both stopped talking and looked at Eliana seriously, waiting for her next words.

“I have bad news for you. We may have to move to another place in a while, and… You are going to a

different kindergarten.”

Finally, Eliana was able to tell them.

But as soon as she said this, Aileen and Adrian asked in unison, “Why?”

She had already thought of an excuse on her way home. So she explained, “That’s because I’m likely

to change a job. I might work in another city, so we have to move.”

“Move?” Nana asked in surprise. She had just come out of the bedroom and heard what Eliana had

said. “Eliana, why do we have to move all of a sudden?”

“Yes, Mommy. Can you please not change your job, so we don’t have to move? I really like our

kindergarten now. I don’t want to leave Silas and my good friends,” Aileen pleaded, eagerly tugging at

Eliana’s sleeve.

“Mommy, I don’t want to leave either. Please don’t move.”

It was rare for Adrian to make a request.

Eliana could see how sad Adrian and Aileen were, and she felt sorry for them. But she could only say,

“Even if we leave, it’s not that we will never come back. After some time, I can take you back here to

see your good friends in kindergarten.”

Aileen was so disappointed that her big cute eyes also lost their former luster.

Seeing this, Adrian stepped forward and comforted her.

“It’s okay, Aileen. We will come back here together in the future,” he assured her. But his voice was

also full of sadness, making Eliana feel sorry for him.

Nana was unhappy to see Adrian and Aileen sad. So she pulled Eliana to the side and asked, “What is

wrong with you? Why did you suddenly think of moving? Did you and Maurice fight again? Is he… Is he

taking the children away? What did he say to you?”

Nana was immediately alarmed. She was always ready to help Eliana resist Maurice.

Eliana was so surprised by Nana’s words that she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Nana, take it

easy. It’s not what you’re thinking. I just don’t think it’s a good idea to be supported by Maurice all the

time. And it happened that I got a sum of money today, so I want to move out and live on my own.”

“Is that so?” Nana breathed a sigh of relief. She patted Eliana on the shoulder and said, “Why do you

think so much? With your relationship with Maurice, what he owns also belongs to you.”

“Nana, it’s not that simple.”

Eliana told Nana everything that had happened today in one breath.

“So you see, if I don’t leave Maurice, he will lose everything. I can’t watch him fight against Earle for me

again. I will never feel at ease all my life.”

After listening to Eliana, Nana felt sorry in her heart.

Why was it so difficult for two people who loved each other to be together?

“So what do you plan to do in the future? You are finally willing to admit that you like Maurice. You, your

children, and Maurice are about to reunite. But you suddenly decide to give up everything and leave

now. Did you give this matter careful thought? Are you sure you are not going to regret it?”

Eliana closed her eyes, and her mind was full of images of her and Maurice together.

It was Maurice who had been protecting her. This time was her turn to do such a thing.
