“That was… a goodbye kiss!”

Yes, that was what it was.

Eliana had come to a decision. She could see that Preston cared about the children a lot. If he found out the truth, he would probably try to take Aileen and Adrian away from her.

Eliana couldn’t take that risk. She had to cut Preston off completely. She couldn’t see him again.

Eliana’s heart hurt.

“A goodbye kiss? What do you mean by that? You want to dump me because I discovered your secret? Eliana, this is stupid.”

Maurice clenched his teeth and gripped Eliana’s shoulders. “Tell me the truth, are the children mine?”

Eliana tried as hard as she could to keep her expression under control and put on a righteous tone.

“Of course not. Their mother is my best friend, Nana. She used to be a star and had to hide her children to protect her career.”

“I don’t believe it. If they are Nana’s, why did you have to hide them from me?” Maurice demanded.

“I had to hide them because Nana is my best friend. To protect her future, I would gladly keep this secret from everyone, even you.”

As she went on, her words became more eloquent.
