Chapter 590
Chapter 590
That night, sitting on the edge of the bed, Eliana was reading fairy tales to Aileen and Adrian.
After such a hectic day, Aileen was so tired that she fell asleep early.
Adrian, meanwhile, couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that they were nearly kidnapped. He tossed and turned in bed and couldn’t fall asleep.
Eliana had just finished reading the story and was about to leave the room when a small hand suddenly grabbed hers.
“Mommy, I can’t fall asleep. Can you stay with me?” Adrian asked in a low voice, looking at Eliana earnestly.
Adrian was not the kind of child constantly asking for attention. So, Eliana couldn’t say no to him now.
“Okay, I’ll stay with you.”
So Eliana lay down in Adrian’s bed and held him in her arms.
“Is there anything bothering my darling baby? Tell me please,” Eliana said in a sweet voice.
Adrian buried his head in Eliana’s chest, hesitating to tell her or not. Finally, he decided to confess what he had done.
“Mommy, I’m sorry. What happened today was all my fault…”
“Honey, why did you say that?” Eliana asked in surprise.
With a guilty look on his face, Adrian explained, “Yes, it was all my fault. I was the one who secretly contacted Mr. Bowman. I think the men who tried to kidnap us today were sent by him. I’m sorry, Mommy. I didn’t think Mr. Bowman was such a bad person!”
Eliana was stunned at the mention of Jonathan. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
She thought he was still abroad.
Did he come back?
Eliana was utterly shocked by what Adrian said. She couldn’t believe that it was Jonathan who tried to kidnap her and her children, let alone that it was Adrian who called him back.
Eliana said nothing for a long moment, lost in thought. Her long silence made Adrian feel more and more depressed, and tears welled up in his eyes.
“Mommy, did I get you in trouble?” Adrian asked in a sad voice.
Hearing her son’s words, Eliana quickly came to her senses. She stroked the little boy’s head and comforted him, “Don’t worry, honey. I will solve it. Everything will be fine. You don’t have to feel guilty. Mr. Bowman is not a bad guy. He probably just wants to see you, but he didn’t do it the right way.”
It took a long time for Eliana to calm Adrian down and let him fall asleep peacefully.
When Eliana finally left the children’s room, the anger she had been suppressing all along flared up, and her face darkened instantly.
Jonathan had helped her a lot. She could never pay him back for all he had done for her and the children. But how could he try to kidnap her kids?
While Eliana was lost in thoughts, her phone rang. She checked the caller ID and saw it was an incoming call from a strange number.
After thinking for a while, Eliana answered the phone.
“Hello?”
“Eliana…”
A deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, and Eliana almost immediately recognized the person speaking.
“Jonathan!”
“Absolutely! Long time no see. How are you doing recently?”
Jonathan’s voice was mixed with smile.
Just by listening to this voice, Eliana could already see in her mind the beautiful and gentle face of the man.
But when she thought about what he had done, it chilled her to the bone.
“Jonathan, why did you try to kidnap my children?” Eliana asked curtly.
She wasn’t in the mood to chat with him, so she cut to the chase.
“It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Why are you so cold to me? I just want to see you. I couldn’t reach you since you even changed your phone number, so I came up with this idea.”
It was only then that Eliana remembered she had indeed changed her phone number to avoid being called by Maurice.
She later on sent her new phone number to her close friends, except for Jonathan.
She just didn’t want to tell him her new number.
“So since you couldn’t find me, you decided to use my children as leverage to make me come to you?”
“Don’t be mad. You’re so lovable. I hired Kimora, but she lied to me in order to help you in the end.”
Jonathan’s casual words made Eliana’s hair stand on end.
He had found Kimora!
“What did you do to Kimora?” Eliana asked almost in a roar.
“Don’t worry. Kimora’s precious grandson and granddaughter had a small accident and she went to take care of them. There’s really nothing to worry about!”
Jonathan’s tone was extremely gentle, but Eliana sensed a strong threat in it.
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her surging emotions. “Jonathan, what on earth do you want from me?”
Eliana had known Jonathan for many years, and she knew that he was way more terrifying than Maurice.
The difference between Maurice and Jonathan was that, Maurice would never hurt her, let alone hurt her children.
