Chapter 20

The Devil Uncle

When Eliana arrived at the bakery, Kimora was there waiting for her with the twins.

"Mommy!"

Aileen’s eyes lit up immediately and she threw herself into Eliana’s arms.

Eliana hugged her daughter tightly with one hand, while she held out the other to Adrian, who was
walking towards them calmly.

"Why didn’t you tell Kimora when you went out? We were so scared!"

The twins exchanged glances and stuck out their lower lips simultaneously, looking like two dolls.It
seemed they hoped to get away with it: But Eliana didn’t buy it, not even for a second.

She even pulled a long face and said, "Why won’t you tell me?"



Seeing that the children were still silent, she released them and stood up gloomily.

Adrian realized that his mother got angry.He quickly grabbed the hem of Eliana’s clothes and said,
"Mommy, don’t be angry.I’ll tell you everything."

Finally, Eliana squatted down and looked at her son attentively.

"Adrian!"

Aileen wailedin-an attempt to stop her brother from spilling the beans.




"Aileen and I wanted to surprise you."-Adrian patted his sister’s head while looking at Eliana with his
big, round eyes.

"Mommy, it’s almost your birthday.We wanted to buy a big cake!"

"Adrian, since you’ve said it already, it’s not a surprise anymore!"

Aileen whined, her eyes filled with tears.

Eliana felt as though her heart was filled to the brim with love from her children.

Deeply touched, she sighed emotionally.She held out her arms and the twins Mished towards her.

The three embraced each other tightly while Eliana kissed them repeatedly.

"I’m-sorry.I lost my temper just now."

Aileen burst into a wide grin.

"It’s okay, Mommy! We forgive you!"

"It’s our fault.We sneaked out and made you worried," Adrian added sulkily.

On their way home, Eliana held each of their hands as the three walked in a line.

"What do you want for your birthday, Mommy?" Aileen asked, jumping up and down.

"Mommy will like whatever you give me."

"Then… What about a handsome daddy?"

"Aileen cupped her cheek and smiled giddily.



"I just saw Silas’s uncle.He was so handsome! Do you want him to be your boyfriend, Mommy?".

Eliana was at a loss whether to burst into tears or laughter.

Out of the blue, Adrian grabbed her hand tightly with both hands, like a lion protecting its cub.

"No! Mommy is ours and ours alone!"

"Don’t worry, little one.Mommy will always be yours,"

Eliana comforted him gently.

Seeing that her son’s expression softened, she asked, "Who is Silas? Your classmate?"

"Yes." Adrian sighed.

"But his life is too sad.His parents are dead.He lives with his devil uncle now."

"Devil… uncle?" Eliana asked with confusion.

Aileen shook her head disapprovingly.

"But when we met just now, his uncle was very nice and handsome and gentle-like a prince! He’s not a
devil at all!" Adrian frowned deeply.

"You idiot.You can’t judge a man by his appearance."
