Chapter 514

Maurice was also annoyed by those female ghosts. He was about to drive them away when he saw

Eliana rushing over angrily and standing in front of him to block them.

It was dim in the room, but he couldn’t see her expression clearly. But based on her reaction, was she

jealous?

Maurice was suddenly in a good mood. He just let Eliana stand in front of him like a kitten protecting

her food.

In this way, under her “protection”, those female ghosts ended up leaving awkwardly.

At this time, he couldn’t help laughing. “Your way of exorcising ghosts is quite brilliant.”

It was only then that Eliana realized that she cared so much when other women approached Maurice.

She was a little embarrassed, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a little girl’s blurry back flashing in front of her.

That back was so familiar.

The more Eliana thought about it, the more she felt that the little girl was Aileen.

But how could Aileen be here? She should be in kindergarten now, right?

Eliana craned her neck, wanting to see more clearly. But a group of zombies was blocking her way, so

she couldn’t see ahead clearly.

She had no choice but to hold Maurice’s hand and slowly approached the direction where the little girl

went, enduring her fear.

When they walked over, they saw a small figure joining the group of zombies, playing happily. It was as

if she had become the cutest little zombie.

“Aileen? What are you doing here?” Eliana exclaimed in surprise.

Indeed, the happy little zombie was none other than Aileen, who had sneaked in.

Maurice was also shocked. He was on a date with Eliana, but her daughter suddenly appeared. He

was also a bit at a loss.

“The handsome man!” Aileen exclaimed as soon as she saw Maurice’s handsome face. It was as if she

had immediately forgotten everything else, including Eliana. She rushed over to him and hugged his

thigh.

Eliana squatted down with a gloomy face, turned Aileen’s face to her, and asked solemnly, “Aileen, tell

me, how did you get here? Do you know how dangerous this place for little girls like you is?”

Aileen pouted and said unhappily, “It’s all because you and Mr. Moran hung out secretly without taking

me. I also want to play with the handsome Mr. Moran.”

She raised her head and looked at Maurice with a pitiful look on her face.

Maurice’s heart softened when he saw Aileen’s cute face. He couldn’t help picking her up and hugging

her in his arms.

Then he turned to Eliana and said, “Don’t lose your temper just yet. Let’s take the child out first to be

safe.”

At this time, Silas and Adrian had already found that Aileen was missing. But unfortunately, they had no

means to enter the haunted house. They anxiously paced back and forth outside the door. Then Silas

thought of calling Maurice.

But before he dialed the number, he saw Maurice coming out of the haunted house with Aileen in his

arms, holding Eliana with his other hand.

“Mommy! Aileen!” Adrian shouted and immediately rushed over.

Silas hurriedly followed behind him.

Eliana’s face darkened upon seeing Adrian and Silas.

“And you two are here too. What are you doing here?”

Silas and Adrian lowered their heads sheepishly, not daring to answer her question.

This time, Maurice spoke up. “They must have followed us secretly. They are really bold.”

Adrian suddenly raised his head in defiance. “I followed you here because I’m worried that you might

do something bad to Mommy again.”

Upon hearing this, Eliana raised her hand and tapped Adrian’s forehead. “I am not a child anymore. I’m

not going to let anyone bully me, okay? How dare you take your sister out secretly! What if something

happens?”

Adrian touched his forehead. He didn’t dare to refute.

Maurice turned to Silas and also reprimanded, “And you, Silas. You are older than Adrian and Aileen.

You are like their eldest brother. Why didn’t you stop them? Instead, you fooled around with them. If

anything happens to any of you, will you be responsible for it?”

His tone was so harsh that Silas’s eyes turned red, with tears welling up.

When Eliana saw this, she hurriedly mediated, “Well, it must be Aileen and Adrian’s idea. Don’t blame

Silas. He has always been the most sensible. He must have no choice but to come with them. Let’s

take them home now.”

The look on Maurice’s face changed. His date with Eliana was ruined and was about to come to an

end.

Aileen looked at his long face and thought for a while. Then she took Eliana’s hand and put it on his.

“Mommy, we don’t want to go home yet. Let’s hang out with you and Mr. Moran.”

Eliana looked at her hand sandwiched between Maurice’s and Aileen’s hands.

At this moment, the sorrows she had deliberately suppressed came up again.

Maybe this would be the last time she and Maurice would see each other.

After she and the children left, the children would hardly ever see their father again either.

At the thought of this, Eliana couldn’t help nodding, giving in to Aileen’s request.

She would indulge herself in this one last time.
