Chapter 623

When she heard what the two children said, Eliana was embarrassed.

“Fine, I can go. Would that make you happy?

Even though she agreed to go to the hospital, she still didn’t want to.

Once she went out, no one would know if she went to the hospital or not.

Unfortunately, she failed to factor in Maurice.

When she got into the car but refused to go to the hospital, an idea came to Maurice.

“Right now, you have two options. For the first option, you must go to the hospital with me. Your second

option is to tell me why you lied and told me Jonathan was the father of the children. It’s up to you to

decide.”

Eliana was unprepared for that scenario. She was at a loss for words.

Damn it! How did he find out?

Her mind raced with all the possible things she could say to answer his question, but no matter what

she came up with, it sounded like an excuse.

In the end, she decided not to give him an answer.

“Fine! We’ll go to the hospital right now! I don’t want to wait any longer.”

She lowered her head and quickly fastened her seat belt.

“Come on! Let’s go!”

Although her secret was revealed, she was still determined to hide the truth from him.

Maurice’s eyes were stormy as he looked at her.

He scoffed and suddenly clutched her hand. “Don’t try and play tricks with me. You can’t run away from

this. I know everything.”

“What do you mean? What do you know, Maurice?” Eliana asked nervously.

“I’m Aileen and Adrian’s biological father, aren’t I?”

“I’m Aileen ond Adrion’s biologicol fother, oren’t I?”

Though he fromed it os o question, Eliono knew it wosn’t.

Her eyes widened in shock. Mourice knew!

After Eliono heord him soy those words, her heort beot loudly in her chest. She knew there wos no woy

out, but she didn’t wont to confess to him.

“No, thot’s not possible,” she replied weokly.

“Why won’t you odmit it?” Mourice removed the poternity test report from o poper bog ond shoved it in

front of Eliono’s foce.

A flurry of emotions possed through Eliono’s foce os she reod the report.

The test reveoled the truth. Mourice wos the children’s fother, ond she couldn’t deny it ony longer.

She’d been dreoding this doy for months, but when it finolly come, she wos surprised she didn’t feel

scored. The only emotions she felt were emborrossment ond guilt.

After the cor occident ond her neor-deoth experience, her perspective on things chonged.

If Mourice didn’t bring up the issue of the children’s porentoge, she might choose on oppropriote time to

tell him herself.

In the post, she doubted whether Mourice would be o good fother or husbond. Bock then, he hod no

ideo how to core for children, ond Eliono wosn’t sure if he wos serious obout their relotionship.

The truth wos, he stepped up ond cored for the children when she wos owoy. Mourice went to sove her,

even if it endongered his own sofety.

After he found out obout the web of lies she creoted, Mourice still cored obout her sofety ond well-

being.

“I’m Aileen and Adrian’s biological father, aren’t I?”

Though he framed it as a question, Eliana knew it wasn’t.

Her eyes widened in shock. Maurice knew!

After Eliana heard him say those words, her heart beat loudly in her chest. She knew there was no way

out, but she didn’t want to confess to him.

“No, that’s not possible,” she replied weakly.

“Why won’t you admit it?” Maurice removed the paternity test report from a paper bag and shoved it in

front of Eliana’s face.

A flurry of emotions passed through Eliana’s face as she read the report.

The test revealed the truth. Maurice was the children’s father, and she couldn’t deny it any longer.

She’d been dreading this day for months, but when it finally came, she was surprised she didn’t feel

scared. The only emotions she felt were embarrassment and guilt.

After the car accident and her near-death experience, her perspective on things changed.

If Maurice didn’t bring up the issue of the children’s parentage, she might choose an appropriate time to

tell him herself.

In the past, she doubted whether Maurice would be a good father or husband. Back then, he had no

idea how to care for children, and Eliana wasn’t sure if he was serious about their relationship.

The truth was, he stepped up and cared for the children when she was away. Maurice went to save her,

even if it endangered his own safety.

After he found out about the web of lies she created, Maurice still cared about her safety and well-

being.

All of these factors made Eliana see Maurice in a new light.

All of these factors made Eliana see Maurice in a new light.

Maurice was a different man from the one she knew from before. She felt safe revealing the truth to

him.

Maurice was growing impatient as she stayed silent.

The evidence was clear. Was Eliana still trying to find a way out of it?

Maurice became more flustered at the thought.

“Eliana, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

She took a deep breath to steady herself before facing Maurice. When she saw how much he was

struggled to reign in his anger, she found it endearing.

Before she could realize what she was doing, she leaned over and kissed him.

“You’ve known it, haven’t you? What else do I need to explain?”

Maurice’s eyes widened in shock. Her kiss melted any anger he still held in his heart.

“Maurice,” Eliana said softly. “I’m sorry I lied about the children. Can you ever bring yourself to forgive

me?”

She meant every word she said.

No matter her reasons, she couldn’t deny that she deprived Maurice of his right to know his children.

Maurice was taken aback by her sincere apology.

The words he prepared for this confrontation left him.

At first, he wanted to teach this bold woman a lesson. In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to do that.

The truth was, he loved her.
