The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 573

Maurice was already standing outside the door of Eliana’s house when he received her call. He knocked first before answering it and telling her to open the door.

When Adrian and Aileen heard the knock on the door, they both turned their heads and looked at Eliana.

Then Aileen asked excitedly, “Mommy, is that our new neighbor outside?”

Eliana couldn’t think of an excuse anymore. Maurice was already standing outside their door, so she had no choice but to open it.

She stood up to go to the door with Aileen and Adrian behind her.

Then the three of them saw Maurice standing outside leisurely. The two children were obviously surprised.

Aileen was the first to react. She asked, “Mr. Moran, why are you here?”

On the other hand, Adrian immediately frowned without saying anything.

Maurice smiled faintly, looked at Aileen, and answered her question, “I’m your new neighbor. From now on, we will be often seeing each other.”

When he said this, Eliana inexplicably felt a chill all over her body for some unknown reason.

She didn’t know why she felt that she would have a hard time in the future.

Aileen was only shocked for a short time. Soon, she accepted the fact that Maurice had become their new neighbor, and she even welcomed him warmly into their house.

As soon as Maurice came in, she said, “Mr. Moran, you came just in time. We’ve actually made breakfast for you.”

As she spoke, she put the extra bowl of cereal in front of him and invited him to eat with them.

Adrian was the total opposite of Aileen. Since Maurice sat down at the table, he pulled a long face and never said a word.

The porcelain bowl in front of Maurice had a small pink pig printed on it. Looking at it, he was somewhat absent-minded.

This lovely bowl reminded him of the warm scenes when he was with his sister and mother in the past. Those were the good memories he cherished in his heart.

A surging wave of emotions hit him, and he suddenly didn’t know what to do. He just sat there in a daze for a while.

But Adrian misunderstood Maurice’s silence, thinking that Maurice didn’t want to eat the breakfast they had prepared. He already loathed Maurice, and now, he disliked Maurice even more. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He snapped, “If you don’t think it tastes good, don’t eat it.”

Adrian’s voice seemed to have awakened Maurice from his reminiscence. He raised his head and looked at the twins. He saw an expectant look in Aileen’s eyes while a look of disgust in Adrian’s. Then he picked up the spoon, took a spoonful of cereal, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The mixed taste of milk and cereal burst into his mouth, once again reminding him of the memories of the past.

After chewing and swallowing the cereal in his mouth, he commented, “It tastes good.”

Aileen was obviously happy to hear his compliment. She said proudly, “I knew you would like it. Adrian and I made it ourselves.”

Maurice’s mood lightened up at once. He smiled and praised, “You two are sensible children. It’s good that you know how to help your mother with house chores. At least you share the burden.”

As he said this, Maurice couldn’t help feeling sorry in his heart. It was a pity that the biological father of these two sensible and obedient children didn’t cherish them.

Maurice had always believed that Jonathan was the biological father of the twins. And when he thought of this, he felt unhappy. He hated that Jonathan was ignoring his children these years.

He thought that if Jonathan didn’t cherish his children, someone had to replace Jonathan as their father.

Eliana just sat there quietly and watched the interaction between Maurice and the two children. The scene was so beautiful to look at that she couldn’t help but be moved.

At this time, she could say that Maurice was playing the role of a very good father. But sadly, his attitude towards the two children was always changeable.

This was also why she didn’t want the two children to have too much attachment to him.

At the thought of this, Eliana suddenly felt upset. Her mood changed, so she said to Maurice, “Eat quickly and go to work.”

Maurice turned to look at her, wondering why she was so eager to drive him away.

His expression changed slightly, and he said unhappily, “What work? Today is the weekend, so I’ll stay here.”

Eliana was rendered speechless. It seemed that he was really determined to stay at their house. She could only pat her own forehead. She could do nothing to stop his overbearing and childish behavior.

Since she couldn’t drive him away, what else could she do but agree?

Obviously, Aileen was the happiest one. “Yeah, that’s great! Mr. Moran is going to stay and play with Adrian and me. This will be so much fun!”

She jumped off the chair happily, held Maurice’s arm, and said coquettishly, “Mr. Moran, my brother and I need to do our homework first. We have to draw a picture. Can you and Mommy be our models?”

Upon hearing this, Eliana and Maurice looked at each other. Eliana was the first to speak up.

“Aileen, Mr. Moran is always busy. We can’t occupy his time, okay? He…”

But before she could finish her words, Maurice interrupted at once, “It’s okay, I can do it. As I have said, it’s the weekend, so I’m free. I am happy to help.”

Eliana felt helpless. She couldn’t find any excuses anymore. So eventually, she and Maurice began to pose under Aileen’s command.

“No, Mommy, it’s not like that. Please sit closer to Mr. Moran. And Mr. Moran, don’t always look ahead. You should look at each other. Yes, that’s it. That’s perfect! Mommy, stay like that. Adrian and I are going to start drawing now.”

In this way, Eliana and Maurice sat still on the sofa. They couldn’t move, and they were forced to look at each other until the two children finished their drawings.

The atmosphere gradually became subtle, and Eliana felt awkward.

When she looked at him, she blushed. She couldn’t stand his gaze, so she looked away.

But Maurice suddenly reminded her, “Don’t be distracted. Just look at me.”

He stared straight at her blushing face, thinking she looked so charming. It was as if he couldn’t see enough at all.
