Chapter 117

Eliana heaved a long sigh of relief after revealing the truth.

This was the first time she had uttered these words to others.

This secret had been weighing on her and now that burden was gone. For a long time, she felt like she
had been wandering in the darkness with the weight of this secret, but now she finally found another
person whom she could share it with.

After hearing what Eliana had said, Maurice fell into silence. However, Eliana mistook his silence.

“I’m not looking for your sympathy, Preston. I can take care of my own problems. Don’t take my words
to heart. I don’t expect you to do anything.”

There was a distant look in Eliana’s eyes as she felt a little embarrassed after saying that.

She wondered what it was about this man and his presence that made her so talkative. It was as if she
could really open up to him without hesitation.

Maurice snapped out of his thoughts and noticed the rare shyness on Eliana’s face. A smile played at
the corners of his mouth almost immediately.

It was then that he realized that she trusted him.

He looked at Eliana seriously and said, “I will help you.”

Eliana didn’t expect Preston to be so serious. Besides, he gazed at her with charming eyes. No normal
woman would be able to resist such charm.

“Leaving aside the matter, let’s get down to business… The ring! Yes, I have some news about your
ring.”



Eliana tried to change the subject because she couldn’t bear his intense gaze on her anymore.

Maurice deliberately didn’t expose her thought. Instead, he turned around, put away the medical kit and
slowly asked, “Okay, tell me where the ring is.”

Eliana had her heart in her mouth and her lips trembled as she opened her mouth nervously. “Your
ring… I have lost it.”

The brief moment of silence was pure agony.

Strangely, at this moment, Maurice had a feeling that it was within his expectation.

“But! Don’t be alarmed! I know exactly where it is! It’s a complicated story and I can’t explain it clearly in
a few words,” Eliana blurted out, but her tone revealed that she felt guilty.

“Then please explain.”

“It… It got eaten by a dog,” said Eliana, lowering her eyes in shame.

“Then the dog got lost, right?” Maurice asked.

“How did you know?”

Was Preston spying on her? How did he know about the dog?

Maurice shook his head speechlessly. Such a ridiculous incident could only happen with Eliana.

Finally, everything made sense.

The missing dog was indeed Eliana’s, and she was Nana’s friend. The boy and girl twins were Nana’s
children, and the ring had been taken to the kindergarten by the twins, where Silas had seen it before.
Then the ring got eaten by the dog, and that idiot Corbin was the reason why Nana lost the dog…



The incident was perfectly coherent and was clearly a story of amazing coincidence.

Maurice’s prolonged silence made Eliana feel guiltier and more ashamed.

“Preston, it’s really my fault, but don’t worry. I’m not an irresponsible person. I am willing to make
compensation for your loss. No matter what the cost.”

After going through a life-changing experience five years ago, Eliana knew well the pain of losing a
loved one.

The biggest regret of her life was that after her parents passed away, there was nothing left of them
and so she didn’t have anything of theirs to remember them by.

Therefore, she could imagine just how devastated Preston would be; after all, she had lost his late
mother’s belonging that had been left to him after her death.

Maurice didn’t mean to make things difficult for Eliana, but when he saw the nervous look on her face,
he had a strong urge to play a trick on her.

He bent down and got closer to Eliana, until they were so close that he could hear her heart pounding
inside her chest.

“Have you made up your mind yet? That ring is very important to me, so…”

The moment Eliana felt Preston’s warm breath on her cheeks, her mind became a mess. Her knees felt
weak, almost as if she was going to crumble to the floor any moment.

Maurice smiled playfully and his tone was seductive. He eyed Eliana from top to bottom with a
mysterious glint in his gaze.

“I guess I’ll have to think of a way for you to make it up to me…”
