Chapter 591
“Eliana, it seems that my absence has done something good. You learned to be smart when I was away,” Jonathan said with a smile. His voice was filled with joy.
“I want you to see me alone. I’ve helped you for so long. You should at least agree to see me this time, right?”
Eliana’s heart skipped a beat.
She had long expected this to happen because she knew she had to face Jonathan one day. Even if she didn’t want to see him, she couldn’t avoid him forever. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Just like Maurice, Jonathan was also her inescapable someone.
Left with no choice, Eliana had to say, “Okay.”
At this moment, the look in her eyes became firm. She finally made up her mind.
“I can meet you. But I’ll decide the time and place.”
“Of course, it’s your choice. A good gentleman always has to accommodate a lady.”
Jonathan’s voice revealed a sense of victory. He firmly believed that Eliana would be his. For him, she was like a caged bird that could not escape his palm.
After their talk, Eliana hung up the phone. She suddenly felt a trace of exhaustion penetrate deep into her bones.
She walked to the balcony to get some fresh air, but she was met by the wet and cold night wind. Eliana couldn’t help shivering. But the cold made her mind become a little clearer.
Jonathan was back. And judging from their conversation just now and what he had done to her and her children, it was obvious that he didn’t want to let her go.
If she resisted, he would definitely make another move. He wouldn’t stop until he totally conquered her.
She, her children, and Kimora… Who would be the next?
The night wind was very cold, but it was not as cold as Eliana’s heart at the moment.
She had been standing there for a long time when the door suddenly opened.
Nana came back from her date. She walked into the apartment with light steps, humming a song softly. After being nourished with love, she seemed to be in a good mood.
When she turned on the lights, she saw Eliana standing on the balcony in a daze.
Her brows furrowed at once. It was already late. Why was Eliana still up?
Nana walked over in surprise and patted Eliana on the shoulder, “Eliana?”
“Ahhh!”
Eliana was startled by Nana’s sudden appearance. She patted her chest and said, “You’re back.”
“Eliana, why are you still awake? It’s so late now. What are you doing here on the balcony? Did something happen?” Seeing the sadness on Eliana’s face, Nana was worried.
Eliana smiled bitterly. “Jonathan is back.”
“What? Who did you say is here?” At first, Nana was confused. But the next second, she shivered all over. She exclaimed, “What? Jonathan is back? But why?”
“I do not know either,” Eliana answered, shaking her head helplessly.
Nana remembered the rumors about Jonathan, and a bad feeling surged in her heart.
“Oh, my goodness! He didn’t come back for you, right?”
Eliana also thought of this possibility. She got goose bumps, and her scalp tingled.
“He called just now. He wanted to see me, and I said yes. I just hope that during our meeting, the matter between us will be resolved properly.”
“He wants to see you? Why did you say yes? Are you not afraid that he might have an ulterior motive?” Nana jumped up in shock. “I think you have to tell Maurice about this. You are together now. What if he misunderstands you again?”
Eliana sighed. Actually, she also thought of telling Maurice. But after giving it a second thought, she gave up.
“Nana, think about it. Until now, Maurice still believes that the twins are Jonathan’s children. If he knows that I am going to meet Jonathan, what do you think will be his reaction?”
Nana subconsciously imagined Maurice’s angry face, and she couldn’t help shivering.
Maurice was like a violent beast when he was angry. If he found out about it and lost his temper, who could control him then?
“You’re right. But…” Nana had a strange expression on her face. “But think about it too. You have never succeeded in hiding something from Maurice. Not even once.”
Nana’s words made Eliana recall her countless failures, and she couldn’t help feeling discouraged.
Could she really hide this matter from Maurice?
On the same night, when Eliana got to know the person behind the kidnapping, Maurice also gained something—he caught the executor of the kidnapping.
He was in an icy basement, sitting in the shadows. Standing beside him was Corbin, who looked serious.
A man was lying on the floor in front of them. He was the kidnapper who tried to kidnap Adrian and Aileen today.
