Adrian finished the milk in one gulp and handed the empty glass to Maurice.

“I’ve finished it. You must keep your promise!”

Maurice took the glass from him with a smile. “Of course! I will never break my promise to you.”

He then stood up and was about to leave the room. However, just when he was about to walk out of the door, Adrian stopped him.

“Mr. Moran, can you tell me why my father abandoned me and Aileen?”

Shocked by his words, Maurice turned around reflexively.

Adrian’s clear eyes were just like Eliana’s as he stared into Maurice’s eyes. There was a hint of redness in Adrian’s eyes, and his stubborn look hurt Maurice.

“Adrian… Why do you think your father abandoned you?” Maurice asked with difficulty.

“Isn’t that the truth?” Adrian snorted and continued, “I’m fine. I’m unlovable. But what about Aileen? She is an angel! How could our father abandon her?”

Although Adrian was also heartbroken, he pretended to be fine, which saddened Maurice even more.

His heart was heavy with guilt, making him want to rush to Adrian and hug him.

He really wanted to tell Adrian the truth, but he was afraid that it might only hurt Adrian.
