Chapter 670
Chapter 670 Reconcile
After a sincere confession of love in the kitchen, the tension between Maurice and Eliana was finally lightened a bit.
Eliana no longer resisted being approached by Maurice.
The four of them sat on the sofa in the living room and ate fruits in harmony.
While eating an apple, Aileen looked at Eliana and then at Maurice. She rolled her big round eyes and seemed lost in thoughts. No one knew what she was thinking about.
"Mommy, when would you put on a beautiful wedding dress?" Aileen suddenly asked.
As soon as Aileen asked this question, Maurice and Adrian pricked up their ears at the same time.
Hearing her daughter's question, Eliana was stunned for a while. She touched Aileen's head and asked with a smile, "Aileen, do you want me to get married so much?"
Aileen's eyes lit up and she looked at Eliana with expectation. "Of course! Adrian and I want to be the pageboy and flower girl at your wedding. Let me tell you a secret. None of the children in our kindergarten appeared in their parents' wedding photos, but Adrian and I can be on the photos!"
Eliana was amused, and her depression seemed to have dissipated.
"Okay, when I get married, I will make you and Adrian the flower girl and pageboy."
Upon hearing this, Maurice's expression relaxed a little.
It seemed that Eliana was willing to marry him.
He looked at Eliana affectionately, as if he had a lot to say.
Aileen saw Maurice's emotions through his eyes. Since she had gotten the answer she wanted, she didn't want to bother her parents anymore.
She took Adrian's hand and dragged him off the sofa. "Mommy, Adrian and I are going back to our room to play."
The children left and there were only Eliana and Maurice in the living room.
Eliana ate the fruit in silence. She was still a little angry with Maurice.
Maurice moved to her side and it was he who broke the silence.
"Eliana. What I said in the kitchen is true. Trust me. I will definitely punish Gerald."
Eliana lowered her head, trying her best to hold back the tears in her eyes. She was silent for a long time.
Seeing that she said nothing, Maurice's eyes darkened.
At this point, he thought that he and Eliana had reached a point of no return. Then suddenly, Eliana threw herself into his arms.
"I trust you..."
Maurice felt his heart warm up. He held Eliana tightly and asked cautiously, "Are you still willing to marry me?"
As Maurice held her tightly in his warm arms, Eliana couldn't help burst into tears.
There was a voice in her heart constantly scolding her for being selfish.
But right now, she didn’t want to worry about any family grudge.
She had never felt her life slip away like today. Who knew, she could die tomorrow.
If she would die soon, she wanted to spend the few days she had left with her children and the man she loved.
Eliana said in a choked voice, "Yes, I still want to..."
The two hugged each other tightly. They didn’t know how long they hugged each other.
After calming himself down, Maurice lowered his head and kissed Eliana on the forehead.
He said gently, "You don't need to worry about the fact that your elders need to attend the wedding. We can ask Rosamond for help. You can also ask Brevard or someone whom your father trusted to attend the wedding. Don't think too much about what my grandpa would say. This is our wedding. You can do whatever you want."NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Eliana smiled happily. "Thank you, Maurice," she whispered.
After Nana left the apartment, she rushed downstairs. Corbin was waiting for her in front of her apartment building. "Corbin!" Nana threw herself into Corbin's arms. Corbin held Nana firmly in his arms. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and felt warm to see her now. "Nana, my boss finally gave me the day off today. Let's go out for a date!" Corbin said excitedly.
"Okay..." Nana said in a muffled voice, burying her face in his arms.
"Nana, what's wrong with you?"
Feeling there was something wrong with her, Corbin quickly pulled her out of his arms.
He held Nana's face and found that her eyes were red and there were tear stains on her face as if she had cried not long ago.
"Nana, you cried! What happened? Did someone bully you?"
Nana quickly wiped her eyes. "It's not about me. Stop asking..."
Seeing that Nana avoided eye contact with him and looked a little sad, Corbin had a guess.
"Nana, did something happen to Eliana?"
