Chapter 37 True Love
"Maurice, you used to like going up against your uncle when we were at school.It’s been a long time since we last met, but I can tell that you have not changed at all."
For a moment, Evelynn glanced at Eliana’s hand that was holding Maurice’s arm.She still smiled gently and then affectionately looked at Maurice.
Everyone could tell that she admired him, but Maurice was unmoved by her affection as he watched Eliana eat the cake.
Seeing that, Eliana almost choked.
"Here, have some juice."
Eliana looked up and found that Evelynn was handing a glass of juice to her with a concerned look in her eyes.Was she really that broad-minded? Since Eliana did not want to get in trouble or be misunderstood, she wanted to slip away.

However, Maurice did not let go of her.He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and stuffed a glass of water into her hand.
"Slow down," he said in an incredibly gentle voice.
Eliana felt that she was not lucky enough to cherish his caring side because Evelynn’s burning gaze made her feel uncomfortable.
Slowly sipping the water, she tried her best to keep a distance from Maurice.
Thinking that she was being sensible, Evelynn forced a smile.
She then approached Maurice gracefully and said, "Maurice, today…"
"If you have anything to say to me, then just say it."
He looked at her coldly.
Seeing that, Evelynn swallowed her warm words.She just looked at the man she had been missing for so many years in her heart.
He was still handsome, but after being the CEO for many years, he was no longer the young man she once knew.
Now, his abilities could not be concealed; he seemed a lot more mature; and he was a very unique choice for a husband.
However, he was looking at her coldly while holding another woman in his arms.
Jealousy and sadness surged from the bottom of her heart, about to erupt at any moment like a volcano.
Gritting her teeth, she stared at Eliana before she said sweetly, "This lady doesn’t seem very familiar to me.Which family is she from?"
Eliana didn’t want to be misunderstood, and was about to tell the truth.
"I am Mr.Moran’s…"
"She is my woman," Maurice interrupted her.
Eliana’s heart thumped, and before she could react, Maurice held her waist affectionately.He then leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Drive her away, and the reward will be doubled."
‘Doubled?’ Eliana’s beautiful eyes lit up at once.
She would not have to worry about her children’s expenses for another year with that kind of money.
Evelynn looked at Maurice in shock.
"Maurice, you’re kidding, right?"
"Maurice doesn’t like to joke."
Eliana chuckled coquettishly, almost melting Maurice’s heart.He raised his eyebrows at her, and she wrapped her arms around his waist lovingly.Her graceful body clung to his.
"At first, I also felt that the gap between us was too big, and that it was impossible for us to be together.But he was so persistent in his quest to be with me, and he has been really gentle and kind to me.He protected me in the company and confessed his love to me on the golf course.Now, he’s brought me to his family party.I don’t think any woman can refuse a man like him."
Maurice almost burst into laughter when he heard those words.
Eliana described all the times that he had tortured her as an act of love.
And she turned it into a good story and was acting well.
Just as expected, the mask of gentleness on Evelynn’s face slowly began to disappear and she warned, "Miss, do you know what kind of an occasion this is? Do you know what will happen to you if you talk such nonsense?"
‘How could Maurice even like this stupid woman?’
"Miss Jarvis, you are not as good as me in terms of looks and figure.And men are visual creatures.Do you really think that a man who has been used to eating delicacies his whole life would be willing to make do with just eating pickles?" Eliana asked with a sweet smile.
Although she appeared to be gentle, there was a hint of coldness in her voice which infuriated Evelynn.
Gritting her teeth, Evelynn tried her best to force a smile.
"A pretty face and a good body are not the only things that a man wants in a woman.What’s the use of having big b***s if you have no brains? The kind of woman that Maurice needs is someone who is talented, and can help him with his business."
While saying those words, Evelynn ignored Eliana and gazed at Maurice.It did not seem that surprising that she wanted to marry Maurice.
If it had been any normal girl, she would have gotten angry and left, but not only was Evelynn calm, she also had a strong will and was very eloquent.
Eliana rolled her bright eyes, rested her chin on Maurice’s shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "I’ve tried my best, and she’s not leaving.How about… We give up?"
Maurice looked down at her and smiled.
"Go on."
He was curious to see what more tricks she had up her sleeve.
Upon hearing that, Eliana could not help but roll her eyes secretly.
Looking a little aggrieved, she got close to Maurice with tears in her eyes.
"I thought that Miss Jarvis was not an old-fashioned person, and I really believed that she would be able to understand that true love was what mattered the most in a relationship.But I didn’t expect…"
"Don’t cry.It really hurts me when you cry." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Maurice also began to play along with her act.He gently touched her delicate cheek, wiping away her crocodile tears.
When he felt her eyelashes touch his fingertips, he could almost feel all the blood in his body rushing back to his heart.
Eliana glanced at Evelynn with pride.
"I may not be able to help him with his business, but he really loves me…"
Her words were felt like a huge thunder, crashing on Evelynn’s heart.
Before she could come to her senses, she saw Eliana standing on tiptoes as she put her arms around Maurice’s neck to kiss his lips.
