Chapter 61

Chapter 61 His Mother’s Belonging

Eliana glared at him like an angry kitten, as though she was going to swipe at him with her claws at any moment.

Amused by her cute expression, Maurice didn’t know whether to burst into laughter or tears.

"You’re mad because of that?"

Of course, he never would’ve handed Eliana over to anyone other than… Well, himself.However, he couldn’t tell Eliana the truth just yet.

"I’m so disappointed in you, Preston."

Eliana shook her head, as though she had given up on him.How could he be so indifferent when she questioned him? Was he… was he laughing at her? The audacity! Maurice frowned.

"Why?"

"I trusted you! I trusted you enough to drink with you and bare my soul to you! But you…you—!"

Eliana was so angry that her face turned purple and she raised her voice.

Passers-by started looking at them.

Not wanting to attract unnecessary attention to herself, she bit her lip and tried to calm down.She looked into Maurice’s eyes, but there wasn’t a hint of guilt or regret in them.

Eliana laughed bitterly.She had been too naive, thinking that she and Preston had become friends.

But it turned out he didn’t give a d**n about her.

Eliana’s eyes turned icy cold.

Through gritted teeth, she said, "I don’t want to talk to you ever again.

Please don’t bother me."

Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked away.Her resolute attitude made Maurice grow nervous.His hand acted like it had a mind of its own and reached out to hold her hand.

Eliana turned around slowly.

She looked at him indifferently, as if she was looking at a stranger, Her voice was completely alienated as she uttered, "Please let go of me." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

However, this made Maurice hold her hand more tightly.

"You can’t just cut ties with me.You haven’t even returned the ring."

"Ring?" Eliana raised her eyebrow questioningly.

It took her a while before she realized what he was referring to.

She shook off Maurice’s hand and sneered, "How long do you expect me to fall for such a flimsy excuse? You drive a luxury car and wear branded clothes.You spend money like it grows on trees.What kind of ring is worth enough for you to keep pestering me?"

"I’m not lying.That ring is very important to me."

After hesitating for a while, Maurice shook his head and showed his phone to Eliana.

On the screen, there was a picture of a woman with a charming smile and her eyes were full of tenderness.

She was holding a little boy in her arms.

He had bright, black eyes that looked somewhat arrogant.His noble appearance somewhat resembled Adrian’s.

Before Eliana could understand what he meant, Maurice zoomed into the ring on the woman’s finger.

"That ring was my mother’s.It’s also the only thing she left to me when she died."

Maurice tried his best to speak in an indifferent, aloof tone.

However, his eyes betrayed his true emotions, exposing his grief and vulnerability, even though for only a moment.

For so many years, he had pretended to be calm and removed.He never would’ve thought he’d reveal his sadness in front of Eliana, He had kept looking for the ring not only for the force behind it, but also because it was the only thing his mother had given to him personally before she died.

The ring truly was important to him.He couldn’t allow Gerald to take away the sole thing his mother had left behind.

The man’s tone was calm, as if he was talking about someone else, but his sad eyes made Eliana feel a bit sorry for him.

Eliana’s heart softened.She had always thought that the ring was given to him by a rich woman… She didn’t expect such a heartbreaking backstory.

If Preston wasn’t lying, then she shouldn’t keep anything from him either After hesitating for a moment, she stated calmly, "I did see this ring five years ago, but,"

"Eliana! Stay away from him!"

Nana came rushing over, her heels clicking against the floor noisily.

She pulled Eliana to her side, away from Maurice

"Nana, what’s the matter?" asked Eliana in surprise.

Holding her protectively, Nana shot Maurice a murderous glare, like a tigress protecting her baby.

"Don’t believe a word this gigolo says.People like him make up sob stories to trick naive women like you to pay them more money."Eliana’s mouth parted in surprise.Being described as a naive woman, she felt a little offended.

Just as she was about to retort, Nana dragged her out of the club in a hurry, as if a ghost was chasing after them.
