Harriet gritted her teeth in anger. She was about to snap when Earle suddenly spoke up.
“That’s enough, Miss Stone! Come with me,” Earle said coldly.
“But, Mr. Moran…”
Harriet didn’t want to pass up this great opportunity. She was certain that if she opened that door now,
she would catch that bitch Eliana.
However, no matter how great her desire to humiliate Eliana was, she dared not disobey Earle. She
had no choice but to follow him obediently downstairs.
Before leaving, however, Earle took a look at the closed door. Then he turned and walked away.
It wasn’t until the two were out of sight that Corbin finally relaxed.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and heaved a long sigh of relief.
He was proud of himself because he had done his best to help his boss.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Eliana listened attentively to the voices outside. She was so nervous that
she dared not breathe. It wasn’t until she heard the footsteps recede that she finally relaxed.
“They are finally gone…” she mumbled.
She suddenly pushed Maurice and said, “Get me out of here now! They might come back again!”
However, Maurice seemed unfazed. Holding her in his arms, he said indifferently, “You don’t have to
leave. I will solve this matter as soon as possible.”
“You’ll solve this? How? It’s obvious that your grandfather wants you to marry Harriet. The marriage is a
done deal. You should really let me go now,” Eliana blurted out all her thoughts with a bitter smile.
Although she enjoyed the warmth of Maurice’s arms, she felt cold inside. The thing was, although they
were very close at the moment, she felt that they were slowly drifting apart.
“Maurice, you must admit that one day you will have to let me go and marry another woman. Even if
that woman is not Harriet, she will be the daughter of another rich family. You and I are really not from
the same world.”
Maurice didn’t say anything for a moment and just tightened his embrace around Eliana’s waist.
As Eliana felt short of breath, he pinched her chin and raised her head, forcing her to look at him.
“Listen to me, Eliana. I will say this only once. I will not marry Harriet or any woman my grandfather
chooses for me.”
Maurice’s tone was unprecedentedly serious. Eliana looked deep into his eyes and saw determination
there that gave her chills.
She could not deny the deep joy she felt on hearing Maurice’s words.
However, what Maurice said next made her heart sink again.
“I just don’t like the idea of marriage. I don’t plan to get married for the time being,” Maurice said
expressionlessly.
At this moment he thought of his parents. They loved each other so much. Sadly, it turned out that
marriage wasn’t just about two people. Marriage was also the union of two families. Unfortunately, the
disagreements between the families of his father and mother ended up getting the better of their
marriage and destroyed their happiness. His parents eventually died in an accident at a young age.
The tragedy of his parents’ marriage destroyed the image of marriage in Maurice’s mind. Certainly, he
wasn’t going to marry anyone just for the sake of interests.
On hearing what Maurice said, Eliana’s face turned pale and she felt her fists clench.
Since she didn’t know what he had been through and why he wasn’t so keen on getting married, she
had her own understanding of his words.
She thought she was nothing more to him than a toy he could play with when he felt like it. Even if he
wouldn’t marry any woman from a wealthy family, he surely wouldn’t marry her.
Thinking of this, she was glad she didn’t tell him about the children, or things would be even more
complicated.
The two stayed in each other’s arms for a long time, but they had very different thoughts. The room
was soon very quiet.
After a while, Maurice finally let go of Eliana. He looked at her seriously and said, “You stay here. I
need to go out now.”
He couldn’t stay here for too long, or it would arouse Earle’s suspicion.
After saying that, Maurice left. Watching him leave, Eliana couldn’t help but sigh.
Maurice went straight downstairs.
Earle and Harriet were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Maurice straightened his clothes and
walked over casually.
As soon as Maurice entered the living room, Harriet asked, “Maurice, would you like some coffee?”
Sitting next to Earle, she was leisurely sipping a cup of coffee.
Maurice glanced at Earle and asked, “Grandpa, won’t you have some coffee? I specially hired this
barista for you.”
Earle looked at the coffee on the table in disgust and said, “I don’t like coffee. It’s too light in favor.”
After saying that, he took out a bottle of vodka from the wine cabinet and poured some into his coffee.
“This suits me better.”
