Chapter 549

Since Eliana denied that Earle had forced her to leave Maurice, the atmosphere in the room became

unusually depressing.

Maurice stared at her closely, trying to find flaws in her subtle expression.

Eliana, on the other hand, kept a straight face. She was afraid that he would find something wrong.

At such a tense moment, Eliana’s stomach suddenly rumbled.

The sound broke the silence in the room. Maurice and Eliana both lowered their eyes and focused on

her stomach.

Eliana’s face flushed in embarrassment. If she could only sink into the floor and hide.

Maurice looked at her thoughtfully.

He remembered that she seemed to have a stomach problem before.

The last time he made out with her, she even vomited.

So he said, “I’ll let you go for the time being. Hurry and go downstairs for breakfast.”

After saying this, Maurice turned around and went downstairs with a dark expression.

Eliana breathed a long sigh of relief when the door closed.

If Maurice insisted on being unrelenting, she would really be unable to resist.

He caught her again because of her own fault.

With this realization, Eliana was in a very depressed mood. She went to the bathroom, washed her

face, and brushed her teeth. Then she slowly went downstairs.

Before she could even reach the dining room, the appetizing aroma of the delicious food wafted

towards her, making her feel hungrier.

When she entered the dining room, her eyes swept across the table. Then she found that it was full of

all kinds of food, including freshly-baked honey bread, delicate desserts, and steaming corn soup.

At the sight of the feast on the table, Eliana’s stomach grumbled even more. She swallowed hard and

looked eagerly at the calm man beside her.

No matter how hungry she was, she didn’t dare to touch any food there because the master hadn’t

started eating yet.

Maurice looked at Eliana and noticed the pitiful expression in her eyes. He said with compassion, “Go

ahead.”

“Okay.”

Eliana hadn’t eaten for a long time. So she was so hungry that she didn’t have time to care about table

manners anymore. She picked up the soft bread and took a bite, showing no elegance at all.

But in Maurice’s eyes, she looked so cute. Watching her eat made him feel much better.

At the dining table, one was watching intently, and the other was eating to her heart’s content. The

atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious.

Eliana was halfway through her breakfast when her phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up from the table and checked. It was a call from Adrian and Aileen.

Eliana was about to answer her phone when Maurice suddenly grabbed it and canceled the call.

“Maurice, why did you cancel it?”

She was so angry that she wanted to take her phone back. But he raised his hand to the point that she

couldn’t reach at all.

Then he reminded her coldly, “Eliana, I’m warning you. Don’t go too far. Now that you are in my hands,

rectify your attitude and give priority to me, instead of your two children.”

When Eliana heard this, she looked at Maurice in despair. She couldn’t help wondering what was

wrong with him again.

Then suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.

Could he be jealous?

But even of her two children?

Wasn’t it too childish?

Eliana got even angrier. “Maurice, give me back my phone. Don’t forget that our relationship is already

over. Why should I give priority to you?”

Maurice looked at her and sneered, “It seems that you still don’t understand. No one can end our

relationship, except me. What you say doesn’t count. If you dare to run away again, I swear, you will

never see your children anymore.”

Eliana suddenly froze, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart.

But she didn’t want to believe he would actually do such a thing.

Eliana thought Maurice was just bluffing. Although he caught her, he couldn’t possibly know where

Adrian and Aileen were.

Maurice seemed to have seen through her mind. With a mocking smile at the corners of his mouth, he

said, “See for yourself.”

He opened his phone’s album and showed a few photos to Eliana.

In the photo was Silas, who went to see Adrian and Aileen secretly. The scene was clearly

photographed by someone.

Eliana seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar in an instant. She felt cold all over.

“Silas is your nephew. How can you use him just to catch my children? You are so heartless!”

Maurice didn’t argue at all. He directly admitted, “Yes, I’ve already arranged for someone to keep an

eye on Silas.”

Eliana stared at him. She was too angry to say a word.

Suddenly, she froze and stared behind Maurice. She shook her head as if she wanted to interrupt him.

However, Maurice didn’t understand what she meant. He continued, “Because I know that I can only

find your children through him…”

“So, you sent someone to follow me?”

Before Maurice could finish his words, an angry voice came from behind him.
