The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy

Chapter 213

Maurice’s gaze remained fixed on Eliana’s side as he inhaled her hair’s delicate scent of peach.

It was nice for Eliana to be silent with him just now.

Maurice silently appreciated the intimate moment.

Despite this, Eliana was completely unaware of it. In the midst of her photo-picking, she didn’t see that Maurice’s eyes were filled with affection when they glanced at her.

As Eliana chose more and more images, exceeding the required number, Maurice had to intervene.

“You should be done by now!”

“I’ve gotten to pick some more. There are still many attractive photographs,” Eliana said without so much as lifting her head.

“We aren’t going to the vegetable market looking for cabbages. We just need a single, standout image.” Maurice was unable to express himself after hearing that.

“Oh…” Eliana wasn’t content yet. “There are a plethora of images. Which one do you prefer?”

It was tough for her to narrow her choices down to just one. All of these images, in her opinion, were excellent.

“Do you like this?”

“I’d say this one?”

Eliana and Maurice simultaneously extended their hands and selected the same picture.

Smiling broadly, the photographer offered insight. “This one, too, has my seal of approval. This set of images, Mr. Moran, is superb. Could you please pick another option?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Maurice agreed.

“This one also stands out.”

For the second time, Eliana and Maurice picked the same picture.

“It seems that Mr. Moran and this lady have similar taste.”

Eliana felt terribly uncomfortable as the photographer grinned knowingly.

She couldn’t help but turn her head to escape the photographer’s teasing, but she was in close proximity to Maurice.

Her lips brushed Maurice’s cheek as soon as she moved her head.

She hadn’t anticipated it to happen.

How! Did she just kiss him?

Eliana was momentarily shocked, and then her cheeks immediately reddened. Immediately, she placed her hand over her lips, and then took a step back.

“The images have been selected. I need to go immediately.”

She was ready to flee with a guilty conscience.

“Hold your horses!” Her hand was grasped by Maurice. “Tonight, I’ll invite everyone involved in the filming to supper. Should I expect to see you?”

The kiss was the last thing on Maurice’s mind as he looked lovingly at her, but he didn’t say anything about it.

“Sadly, I won’t be able to make it since I have other plans.”

Eliana had told her children that she would accompany them to the toy store today, so she declined Maurice’s request.

“Other plans?” Maurice’s brow furrowed. “What must an unemployed woman like you do?”

What was so big about not having a job? Wasn’t there anything an unemployed lady could do?

Eager to retaliate, Eliana boasted, “Because I’m unemployed, I have plenty of time to accompany my boyfriend.”

After uttering those words, she whirled around indignantly and kicked the light barrier.

Suddenly, the enormous light barrier tipped over and was about to land on her.

Eliana did not have any time to respond, and people around her started to yell. Suddenly, just as the light barrier was going to strike her, a hand stretched out and grabbed it tightly.

Her brain seemed to be in a whirl then.

“Watch your six, Eliana!”

Maurice returned the light barrier to its original place, turned around, and regarded Eliana intently.

Eliana continued to be in a state of disbelief as she stroked her heart and gazed up at her rescuer.

“You saved my skin.”

“There must be something wrong with you. I believe you’re best suited for professions with little risk.” Maurice lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Such as remaining close to me.”

“Do not overstep your bounds, Maurice!”

Eliana flushed and moved back when she heard that.

The folks surrounding them had already been drawn in by the dynamic between the two of them.

Eliana was embarrassed by the attention of the crowd.

“What exactly are you up to, Eliana? Just come and organize the clothing,” Tania, who had been left out, yelled at Eliana in displeasure.

“I’ll be right there.”

As a result, Eliana was relieved when Tania showed up.

“I must go back to work. Bye.”

Eliana fled once again.
