All of a sudden, Maurice felt like a soft little creature grabbed onto his leg. He looked down and found Aileen staring up at him with a pair of twinkling eyes. She looked cute as a bunny and sweet as pudding.

“I’m so hungry, sir. May I eat one of those things?”

Staring at the delicious food on the table, Aileen sniffed and smacked her lips. The anxious look on her face melted Maurice’s heart.

His face softened as he glanced at her. Then, he picked her up, flattened his brows, and spoke to her in a soothing voice.

“You’re hungry? Didn’t Nana give you anything to eat?”

Obediently, Aileen allowed Maurice to hold her up. She put her arms around his neck.

“Yes, Nana took me and my brother to dinner, but… I’m hungry again.”

Aileen shyly lowered her head. She really wanted to leave a good impression on this handsome man.

Her cute little face reminded Maurice of Eliana, who was also anxious for food just now. Aileen was a mini version of Eliana, and she was so adorable that Maurice couldn’t refuse her at all.

“Okay. You may eat with me then.”

Maurice couldn’t help spoiling Aileen.

When Eliana saw the interaction between Maurice and Aileen, she was shocked. They looked just like a father and a daughter who loved each other so much.

No way!

She couldn’t let her children have too much contact with Maurice. Otherwise, her secret would be exposed, and she would be doomed.

Immediately, she took Aileen from Maurice’s arms.

“No, thanks. It’s not good for children to eat too much at night. It’s bad for their stomachs. Besides, most of the food on your table are too greasy. They’re not fit for children’s consumption.”
