Both stunned, Maurice and Adrian stared at each other blankly.

Maurice had expected Adrian to tell him to leave.

Instead, Adrian simply smiled at him and then turned his head, pretending not to see it and going back to sleep.

Had he decided to accept him?

A smile formed on Maurice’s face. That was rather cute of Adrian.

With Adrian’s acquiescence, Maurice carried on walking towards Eliana and then carefully lifted her in his arms.

It seemed she had smelled him, Eliana snuggled against his chest, and her expression softened.

Maurice carried her to her bedroom and placed her gently on the bed. Even though he tried to be as careful as possible so that he wouldn’t wake her, Eliana still woke up.

“Who are you?” Eliana struggled in his arms as she woke up, dazed.

“Relax Eliana. It’s me.” Worried he might scare her, Maurice spoke in a soft voice.

As she realized it was Maurice, Eliana calmed down and lay down.

“It’s you…”

With a smile, Maurice caressed her face. “Go to sleep.”

He turned around, ready to leave as he wanted Eliana to rest properly. However, she latched on to his hand the next second.

“Don’t go.”

Maurice froze in his steps and turned to look at her.

Despite her face being all red, Eliana didn’t let her shyness make her let go of Maurice’s hand.

“I’m a bit scared… Do you mind keeping me company? Just for a bit.”

The room was completely silent for a moment, and Eliana didn’t dare to raise her head to look at Maurice.

Her worries melted away as he suddenly pulled her into his warm embrace.
