Chapter 41 Take Responsibility For Her
In the old house of the Moran family, a gray-haired old woman was sitting on the sofa with a stern expression on her face.She was Maurice’s grandmother, Nancy.
Walking up to her calmly, Maurice greeted her, "Grandma." This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Care to explain these?"
Nancy tossed a stack of photos on the table.
Maurice looked down, The photos on the table were of him and Eliana from the night of the party.
In these photos, they were holding hands, or his arm was wrapping around her waist, or she was in his arms.
There was even a photo in which they looked like they were kissing.He picked it up and said, "It just looks like it because of the angle."
"That’s not what I asked, though."

Nancy glared at him.
Maurice grinned and replied in a serious tone, "Grandma, I don’t want a political marriage with the Jarvis family."
Nancy looked into his eyes.
All of a sudden, she raised her hand and slapped his arm.
"You b*****d! The political marriage is not our biggest problem now."
Maurice was a little stunned.
"Grandma…"
He couldn’t figure out what his grandmother was saying.
Nancy regretted that her grandson didn’t live up to her expectations.
"You brat, did you sleep with that girl?"
Maurice did not move as he let her slap him.
After all, her slap did not hurt him in the least.
Nancy continued to ask, "You! Did you do something that you shouldn’t have done?"
Maurice felt that her question was a little unnecessary.
Thus, he felt helpless.
‘Wait… Why is she asking me such a question to begin with?’ he wondered.
"If you’re not saying a word, then it proves that you did it."
Nancy glared at him and pinched his cheek.
"It doesn’t matter whether you marry the daughter of the Jarvis family or not.But as a man of the Moran family, you cannot abandon a woman you’ve slept with.You must take responsibility for her!"
Maurice retorted in a low voice, "It was an accident…"
"Even then, you’re responsible for it!"
Furious, Nancy pinched him harder.
Maurice couldn’t help but hiss in pain.She immediately let go of his cheek, but by then his face was red.Her expression softened a little.
"Bring that girl home.I want to see her."
Maurice knew well about Nancy’s temper, and he knew that if he refused, she would not just let it go, Closing his eyes, he said, "Alright, I will bring her to meet you."
Hearing that, Nancy smiled.She looked at him and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"No."
Maurice shook his head, and found that his grandmother was looking at him expectantly.He was confused.
"What’s wrong?"
Nancy pushed him to stand up and urged, "Hurry up!"
Maurice’s eyes widened.
"Now?"
"Yes!"
With a firm look, she drove him away mercilessly.
"If you don’t bring her with you, then you won’t be allowed to enter the house."
Bang!
She closed the door on him.
Maurice was driven out.
After seeing that, Corbin hung his head, but he could not help laughing.
However, the cold gaze from Maurice’s eyes frightened him.
Maurice turned to look at him and asked, "Where is Eliana?"
Corbin murmured, "She left this morning after sleeping with you.How can she be so shameless?"
"What?"
Maurice squinted his eyes at him, displeased with what he just said.
Scared, Corbin immediately apologized and felt like slapping himself.How dare he talk like that? That moment, Maurice’s phone rang.He glanced at the screen and saw that it was from Eliana.
Corbin also seemed to be overjoyed when he saw her name on the screen.She was calling Maurice right when they were talking about her.
Maurice answered the call, but he did not hear her voice at all.
"Eliana?"
Eliana’s weak voice sounded pitiful.
"Preston, can you come to be with me for a while? for a while?"
"Where are you?"
Maurice immediately walked to the garage without hesitation.
Corbin clicked his tongue.
How could Eliana want to see the "gigolo" after sleeping with his boss? She was so sham In the heart of the city, Eliana stood alone by the street.
As soon as she hung up, she regretted what she did.
Although she had no one to talk to, she felt that it was not appropriate for her to call Preston now.
Covering her eyes with her hands, she recalled her passionate night with Maurice.
She guessed that Maurice might be the culprit behind her father’s death.But how could she have slept with him?
