Chapter 44

Granddaughter-in-law

Eliana could not help but scream in her heart.

‘Why is Maurice here?’ "Why do you look so surprised?"

Flipping his wet hair backwards, he walked towards her with a faint smile.

"Don’t you remember what happened last night?"

‘Last night? Did I have s*x with him again?’ Thinking of that, Eliana had a splitting headache.

"Last night, I was with my friend…"

Her voice grew weaker as she said those words.She had been with Preston the night before, and she
had wanted to call Maurice to scold him.

"Are you playing dumb now?"



Maurice was not as serious as usual.He waited for her to take the bait patiently.

Gulping, Eliana racked her brain and found a breakthrough.

"Why am I at your place? And where is my friend?"

Maurice raised his eyebrows.

However, he kept silent.

Anxiety grew in Eliana’s heart as she walked to him and questioned, "What did you do to him?"




As they got closer, Maurice put his arm around her waist and pulled her into an embrace.

"Why are you so worried about him? What’s your relationship with him?"

Feeling his hot breath on her ear, Eliana felt numb, as though a bolt of electricity had struck her.She
struggled with embarrassment, but that did not work at all.

"You won’t tell me? Alright, then.I will ask my men to deal with him," Maurice threatened in a cold voice.

"No! He is my friend," Eliana replied, gritting her teeth

"Is that so?"

Maurice noticed the flush on her face with an amused look in his eyes.

"What kind of a friend is he? Have you slept with him?"

Not only had Preston slept with her, he was also the father of her children.

However, she did not have any reasons to tell Maurice about it.

In the end, she looked away and said, "No.".

The room was so quiet that even their breaths could be heard clearly.

Maurice pinched her chin and raised her face, forcing her to look into his eyes, which were burning with
desire.

"Do you like him?"

Under his intense gaze, Eliana felt flustered.She looked away and asked, "Who do you think you are?
It’s none of your business."



"I’m someone who wants to sleep with you."

Raising his eyebrows with a smile, he said those seductive words.He looked like a dissolute playboy,
who had never been in a serious relationship, Eliana pushed him away, thinking that he was being too
shameless.

"Mr.Moran, I am sure that countless women are dying to sleep with you.Are you really going to pretend
like you don’t have anyone to have s*x with?"

Maurice leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I lack a woman whose size matches mine perfectly, like
you."

Hearing that, Eliana felt like her brain was about to explode.Her expression darkened at once as she
said, "I still haven’t settled with you after what happened that day."

Maurice sneered, "Who scolded me on the phone yesterday?"

Eliana’s heart immediately skipped a beat, and she was so nervous that she curled her toes.

‘D**n it! Did he really hear it?’ Maurice raised her chin and stared deep into her eyes.

"Did I not make you happy?"

His words left her with a headache.

Thinking of the crazy s*x they had that night, she could not help but regret it.

"Answer my question."

Maurice’s expression darkened as he pinched her chin harder, making her frown in pain.She had
actually called him yesterday to ask him if he had forced her father to die.



However, she had been afraid of hearing him admit it or deny it.

As she felt really irritable, her face and eyes turned red.

Lowering her head, she bit his neck.

And she exerted so much force that she heard him hiss in pain.

In a voice as gloomy as the devil’s, he wamed, "You have to pay the price for biting me…"

But before he finished his words, he felt a hard slap across his back.It was Nancy.

"You brat! How could you bully her again?"

With a frown, Maurice let go of Eliana.

The playful look in his eyes disappeared as he turned around and held Nancy’s hand.

"Grandma, be gentle.Be careful not to hurt your hand."

Eliana was dumbfounded.She never thought Maurice could be so gentle or obedient.

Nancy snorted arrogantly.

Looking at her grandson, who was only wearing a bathrobe, she frowned, and asked, "Why aren’t you
dressed? Go inside and put on your clothes."

Maurice glanced at Eliana, who looked like she was watching a play, before he went back to his room
with a sullen look.

Seeing that, Eliana almost burst into laughter.She reminded herself that evil needed to be punished by
a bigger evil.



But the moment she turned around, she saw Nancy cautiously approaching her with a concerned look.

Smiling sweetly, Nancy said earnestly, "Girls must be careful when drinking outside."

Surprised, Eliana sniffed her clothes and asked, "Do I still smell of alcohol?"

"No.But I was also here when you came here last night."

Nancy then took Eliana’s hand and led her to the living room.

"Good girl.Now, come and sit with me."

Thinking that she had seen her drunk, Eliana could not help but feel embarrassed.She had lost face in
front of Maurice’s grandmother.

Nancy was very talkative.She held Eliana’s hand as she began to ask her questions.

Eliana was confused by her kindness.

Soon, Maurice walked out of his room, neatly dressed.

Looking at him, Eliana subconsciously shrank back.

Nancy patted the back of her hand to comfort her and smiled.

"Wait here for a while."

Before she could answer, Nancy stood up and pulled Maurice aside.

"What’s the matter?"

Maurice looked puzzled.



Nancy hissed, "I asked you to bring her over to give her an explanation.What on earth did you do to
make her so afraid of you?"

Hearing that, Maurice fell silent.

Seeing that, Nancy shook off his hand.
