Chapter 2 Meet Again

Maurice Moran was stunned.

He stared at the little girl clinging to his leg.

The little girl was lovely. Her round eyes were locked on him.

Maurice was completely captivated to the point that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

He had never seen a child as cute as this one.

While looking into the little girl's eyes, Maurice asked, "Where's your mother?"

At this time, Eliana was frantically searching for her kids at the airport.

All of a sudden, she heard a familiar man's voice coming from behind her.

"Eliana!"

Upon turning around, she saw a man holding a large bouquet of bright roses, staring right at her.

She then took off her sunglasses and saw the man's face clearly.

It was none other than Asher.

"Eliana, is it really you?" Asher asked in trembling, excited voice.

Five years ago, he accidentally pushed Eliana off a cruise ship, and no news of her had been heard since then.

During the past thousand days and nights, he had already forgiven Eliana for her betrayal, hoping that she'd come back to him.

Asher took a step closer to Eliana, attempting to hug her.

"What do you think you're doing?"

A shrill voice came from nearby.

Only when it dawned on Asher did he withdraw his hand.

When Eliana looked at the woman who just spoke, a playful grin appeared on her face.

'What a coincidence! All of my enemies have gathered together,' she remarked inwardly.

The woman turned out to be Erica.

"Where did you come from, bitch? How dare you seduce my husband? You-"

Erica stopped talking midsentence. Her eyes widened in horror as she pointed at Eliana, trembling and unable to speak.

It seemed that she was taken aback by Eliana's appearance. She was supposed to be dead!

"Are you a ghost or are you human?"

Eliana furrowed her brows. The corners of her bright lips curved into a smile. To be fair, she really did look a little bit like a beautiful ghost.

"What's the matter, Erica? You didn't expect me to climb out of the depths of hell to look for you?"

Merely hearing her say that frightened Erica to her very core and a chill ran down her spine.

She recalled how five years ago, she plotted to make Eliana lose her virginity, causing her to have a falling out with Asher. Moreover, Eliana even ended up falling overboard and being swallowed by the sea.

'Did she really return to seek revenge?'

When the thought crossed Erica's mind, she trembled with fear.

Asher, on the other hand, didn't think it was a bad thing. For a moment, he had forgotten the fact that he was already married.

His heart was overcome with joy at the sight of his true beloved's return.

He couldn't help but reach his hand out, wanting to touch the beautiful face that he had longed for day and night.

All of a sudden, Eliana slapped him hard across the face.

"Eliana, are you crazy?"

Erica glared at her, touching Asher's reddened cheeks and feeling sorry for him.

But then, Asher pushed Erica away and stared at Eliana affectionately.

"Eliana, I'm not going to lie to you... I deserved that slap. I've already forgiven you for cheating on me. Is there a chance that you'd be willing to come back to me?" he asked.

This time, Eliana was disgusted by Asher's shameless behavior.

"My... your confession of love is touching, isn't it? If I hadn't died once, I would've been in tears by now. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I need no forgiveness. Erica set that whole thing up just so she could marry you!"

Asher glanced over at Erica and asked, "What does Eliana mean by that?"

Suddenly, Erica's face turned pale. "Don't listen to her nonsense!"

An entertaining interaction was about to happen. Just then, the airport broadcast resonated throughout the place.

"We have an emergency announcement, folks. If there are any passengers who have lost their children, please pay attention to the announcement. We have two kids here, a girl and a boy. The girl's name is Aileen Pierce, and the boy is Adrian Pierce. If you're their parents, please proceed to the airport service hall as soon as possible. I repeat, please proceed to..."

'Adrian and Aileen!'

Eliana hurriedly went to the service hall and abandoned Asher and Erica.

Asher wanted to follow her, but Erica stopped him.

He stood there and watched as Eliana disappeared into the distance, lost in thought.

Upon seeing her husband's reaction, Erica gritted her teeth. Hatred soon filled her eyes.

Once again, Eliana had defeated her.

She was so in love with Asher and she did everything she could to marry him. Five years had passed since then, but he still couldn't move on from Eliana. And now the bitch had come back to life. Erica almost broke down.

As soon as Eliana arrived at the service hall, she saw Aileen and Adrian sitting on two chairs.

"Oh, my babies! I was so scared. I thought I was gonna lose you both."

She hurriedly went to hug them. "Where did you two run off to?"

"I was looking for our daddy!" Aileen said with excitement in her tone.

"Daddy? Who?" Eliana was stunned.

"This is all Aileen's fault. She saw a good-looking guy earlier and called him 'daddy'," Adrian grumbled.

Upon hearing that, Eliana became worried about her daughter's impulsive behavior.

"Aileen, don't ever do that again. It's dangerous. Do you understand?"

Aileen nodded obediently.

Eliana sighed and bowed to the staff beside her.

"Sorry to have troubled you. Who sent the kids here? I'd like to thank him for his kindness."

The staff smiled at her and replied, "Your children are so lucky to have met a kindhearted prominent man. The CEO of the Moran Group was the one who brought them here."

Eliana's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She grabbed her kids and ran out, causing the twins to get scared.

But by the time she ran out, the man was already gone. All she saw was a Maybach driving past them.

There was a man sitting inside the car. When he passed them by, he rolled up the car window.

The Maybach soon disappeared, and Eliana didn't even get to see his face clearly.
