Chapter 40

The Night Feeling

Eliana’s kiss against his neck and ear, Maurice was stunned.Her breath brushed against his skin,
seducing him.

"I am feeling so uncomfortable.Help…"

Before Eliana even finished her words, the response that she had been waiting for came all of a
sudden, sealing her lips.

They both fell into the bathtub together, letting water splash all over the floor.

Maurice’s private doctor and Corbin stood outside the door, knocking for a long time, but there was no
response.

Seeing that, they looked at each other.

The private doctor turned to Corbin and said with a meaningful smile, "It looks like I’m not needed
anymore."

Corbin scratched his head anxiously.



‘What am I supposed to do now? Mr.Moran and Eliana are alone in the room.’ Maurice and Eliana were
as passionate as fire.

It was a really wild and interesting night.

The next morning, as soon as Eliana opened her eyes in a daze, she looked into Maurice’s handsome
deep eyes.




The blanket was casually covering his naked body.

In a panic, Eliana looked away, and sat up in horror.

The blanket slipped off her body, revealing countless hickeys all over her skin.

The messy sheets and the pain in her body reminded her of what had happened the night before.

With a remorseful look in her eyes, Eliana curled up into a ball.

‘How did I let such a thing happen? I slept with Maurice Moran! What the hell am I supposed to do
now?’ Flustered, she was about to get off bed when she felt someone pulling her hand.

Caught off guard, Eliana fell into his arms, and he hugged her.

"Where do you think you’re going?" Maurice asked in a seductively hoarse voice.

Eliana felt so shameful that she wanted to cry.

"What happened last night… Just forget about it."

Maurice looked down at the woman in his arms, stroked her back lovingly, and said in a deterrent
voice, "Are you really trying to run away after sleeping with me?"

Eliana felt a spark of electricity when their bodies clung together.She began to tremble uncontrollably.

In her eyes, everything that had happened the night before was just an accident, but Maurice was
making it sound like it was not over yet.

All of a sudden, they heard a small sound of swiping the electronic key card from the door.

"The boss is resting inside.You can’t enter…"



"Miss Jarvis is very worried about Maurice when she heard that he was not well, and that’s why I
brought her over to see him."

"No… Mr.Moran, Miss Jarvis is here!"

The next second, the door flung open.

Eliana was so frightened that she shrank back into the blanket and covered her head.

Maurice looked at the door with a frown.

Gerald stormed in, followed my Evelynn, who was shocked.

They could see what happened in the room.

A man’s and a woman’s clothes were scattered all over the floor.

Gerald roared, "What’s going on here?"

"You know the answer already, don’t you?" Maurice looked at him indifferently.

"Maurice! Is that the way you talk to your elders?" Gerald was burning with fury.

"You’re going to marry Evelynn.How dare you sleep with another woman?"

Evelynn finally came back to her senses and burst into tears.

She turned to Maurice and asked in a shaky voice, "Maurice, is this your reply to the Jarvis family?"

Maurice glanced at her coldly.

"I have already said that I have no intention of marrying you, or anyone else from the Jarvis family."



Tears rolled down Evelynn’s cheeks.She staggered back and ran away from there.

With a long face, Gerald hissed, "Maurice, see what you have done.Do you know that entertainment
reporters photographed you last night? if I hadn’t dealt with them, your scandalous affair would be
everywhere by now."

Hearing that, Eliana flustered and clenched her fists unconsciously.

Fortunately for her, the news of the affair had been suppressed.She did not want her children to know
about it.

Maurice touched the back of her head over the blanket to comfort her.

He ignored Gerald, but that did not stop Gerald from finishing his performance.

He frowned and sighed deeply, pretending to be heartbroken.

"Although the news hasn’t gotten out, the elders of the Moran family and the Jarvis family already know
about it.Think of an explanation to give to your grandfather when you go back."

"That’s some great acting," Maurice remarked with a cold smile.

"I don’t want the political marriage, so I can play along with your little act.But if my grandfather finds out
about what you put in that glass of wine, do you really think that he will continue to let you be in charge
of the branch company?"

Gerald’s expression changed dramatically.

"What are you talking about?"

"Get out."



Maurice didn’t want to say another word to him.He glared at him with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"Let’s wait and see!"
