Chapter 589

Aleck noticed that Eliana was lost in thought, so he didn’t disturb her. He gave her enough time to think.

It took Eliana a long time to come back to her senses.

Then she turned to Aleck and said, “Mr. Hinks, I really thank you and Mr. Moran for today. If the two of

you hadn’t been there, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

She expressed her gratitude to Aleck with a pale face.

“You don’t need to thank me. Mr. Moran is very close to the two children, especially to Aileen. He thinks

that Aileen looks like his granddaughter, so he cares about the two children so much,” Aleck explained

patiently in a somewhat intriguing tone.

Eliana couldn’t help sighing in her heart. She knew why Earle felt so close to Adrian and Aileen. And

that was because he and the twins were related by blood. Mixed emotions overwhelmed her.

Earle didn’t know that the twins were his great-grandchildren, but he still had a deep affection for them.

He even saved them by accident. Eliana wondered what his reaction would be if he found out the truth

about the twins’ identity.

Eliana looked at Aleck and said, “Mr. Hinks, if you need any clue about the kidnappers, you can contact

me anytime. I will do my best to help you find them.”

Aleck was a little tempted. Actually, there was really something he wanted to ask Eliana. However, it

was not about the kidnappers but the twins.

He pondered for a while. Finally, he decided to ignore Maurice’s warning.

“Miss Pierce, if you don’t mind, may I ask if the father of the twins is…”

But before he could finish his words, Eliana’s loud voice interrupted him.

“No! He is not.”

When she said this, she even wanted to cover the ears of the two children with a guilty conscience, but

of course, she wasn’t able to do that.

“Miss Pierce…”

Aleck wanted to continue asking, but he was interrupted by Eliana again.

“Well, Mr. Hinks… Thank you for sending the kids back today. We’ll go inside now.”

She didn’t want to say anything to Aleck anymore, so she directly took Aileen and Adrian upstairs.

Aleck had no choice but to watch their receding backs. But he couldn’t help frowning as his confusion

deepened.

Eliana didn’t even let him finish his words. And he had not mentioned Maurice’s name, but she already

knew he was referring to Maurice. She immediately denied the relationship between her two children

and Maurice.

Obviously, Eliana was trying to evade this question. Was she hiding something?

In the hospital, Maurice categorically denied that he was the twins’ father. But what if there was only a

misunderstanding?

Aleck was an outsider, but he clearly knew what blood relationships and family affection were.

Maurice, Earle, and Silas all had special feelings for Aileen and Adrian. It was undeniable that the two

children were lovable. But there must be a deeper reason for their affection.

One possibility was that the twins might be Maurice’s children.

And with Eliana’s strange reaction just now, Aleck confirmed his guess even more.

But at the moment, he had no evidence to prove it, so he could only keep it to himself.

Aleck had been working for Earle for so many years. Of course, the word “loyalty” had long been

carved in his heart. So he decided to figure it out.

Then he thought of someone.

Corbin. He might be of help.

Corbin had been working for Maurice over the years, so he must know a lot of inside information.

At the thought of this, Aleck called Corbin directly.

At this moment, Corbin was with Maurice, looking for clues about the kidnappers.

He was confused to receive a sudden phone call from Aleck.

But Aleck was his mentor, after all. So after hesitating for a while, he answered the phone without

telling Maurice.

“Aleck, what can I do for you?”

Aleck asked straightforwardly, “Corbin, is Mr. Moran the father of Eliana’s children?”

Corbin was so shocked that he was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

“Where did you get that information? Forget it. It’s not the time to be concerned about it. The twins are

not Mr. Moran’s children. Eliana has already denied it personally.”

“I don’t believe it,” Aleck retorted excitedly. “There must be something wrong with that. Go check it

carefully.”

“That thing…” Corbin paused for a moment before explaining, “Actually, Mr. Moran had asked Eliana

the same question before. But she firmly refused to admit that the twins were his children. Mr. Moran

has high self-esteem, so he believed what Eliana said and didn’t investigate. He even didn’t allow us to

mention anything about it.”

After listening to Corbin’s explanation, Aleck rolled his eyes. He couldn’t help cursing, “Are you a fool?

Do you really think Eliana was telling the truth? If you haven’t even thought about it, you’d better quit

your job now.”

After saying this, he hung up the phone angrily.

Corbin fell into deep thought. At this moment, some clues he chose to ignore before surfaced in his

mind.

The more he thought about the twins’ birth, the more suspicious he became. Was Jonathan really their

father?

For the sake of Maurice’s happiness, he decided to find out the truth.
