Chapter 660
Maurice’s hand signing the document paused. Annoyed, he asked, “What did you say? Make it clear.”
Wyatt said indifferently, “It’s nothing. I just gave up my rights to the inheritance of the Todd family.”
“What? What do you mean you gave up?”
Maurice was utterly shocked.
“I said I gave up my rights to the inheritance of the Todd family. Why are you so shocked? Actually, I should have done it long ago. Don’t you know? I’m not fit for business at all. I don’t have a gift like you. Even since we were kids, I could never compete with you in business, right?”
Maurice was silent for a moment. Then he said, “Actually, you don’t have to compete with me.”
By this time, Wyatt had already let go of all the knots in his heart.
“Yes, I understand what you mean. Although I’m not as good as you at doing business, you may not win me in other aspects.”
Maurice didn’t sense any trace of disappointment in Wyatt’s tone, so he was finally relieved.
Wyatt was his best friend, so he would support Wyatt no matter what.
Now that he was relaxed, he joked, “Is there anything I can’t compete with you?”
“Well, you’re not as good as me at chasing a woman,” Wyatt said proudly. “You should marry Eliana as soon as possible. Otherwise, Nicole and I will get married ahead of you.”
“Have you and Nicole reconciled?” Maurice asked, raising his eyebrows.
Now he knew why Wyatt suddenly gave up his rights to the inheritance of the Todd family.
If it was for Nicole, everything would be reasonable.
Wyatt said proudly, “Yes, of course. So you should marry Eliana as soon as possible. And I want her to design our wedding rings.”
“Congratulations then.”
Now that Wyatt got what he wanted, Maurice was truly happy for him.
But when he thought of Eliana’s current condition, his heart sank.
“Don’t rush me. Eliana is not in good health recently. What’s more important now is you and Nicole. You have to marry her immediately. I have to go now. Bye.”
Maurice hung up the phone with a smile.
He looked at the clock on the wall and found it was time to pick Eliana up.
It had only been half a day since he didn’t see her, but he was already missing her.
Maurice quickly finished all his work, settled the children, and rushed to the hospital.
Before taking Eliana out of the hospital, he went to the doctor first and asked about her condition carefully.
And he was happy to hear the good news.
“Your company last night was very helpful to the patient. She didn’t have an attack, which is a good sign. She can be discharged now. But continue observing her for a while. If there is no problem, it means she has fully recovered.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Maurice was relieved to hear that.
But for some reason, he had a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.
He was reminded of Jonathan’s threat to him that day.
Why was Jonathan so sure that he would send Eliana back?
While Maurice was distracted, Eliana walked over to him.
“What are you thinking? Why are you so absorbed in your thoughts?”
Maurice suddenly came back to his senses. And when he saw that Eliana’s face was still a little pale, he couldn’t help worrying. “Eliana, is there really nothing wrong with your body? I always feel that something is wrong…”
Eliana forced a smile. “Don’t think too much. The doctor said I am fine, right?”
“Yeah. Maybe I’m just thinking too much.”
Maurice temporarily put down the doubts in his heart and picked Eliana up.
“Let’s go home.”
Eliana was so frightened that she wrapped her arms around Maurice’s neck. Her face flushed in embarrassment.
“Ahhh! What are you doing? There are other people here. Put me down.”
But Maurice didn’t seem to mind at all. He looked as calm as usual. “No, I won’t. I’ll carry my woman, and they can watch as long as they want.”
Eliana was defeated by Maurice’s insistence. As a result, he walked from the ward to the parking lot, carrying her in his arms and under the gaze of many people.
On their way home, Maurice excitedly shared what had happened this morning with Eliana. When he said that Aileen finally called him dad, he couldn’t help smiling.
Eliana listened quietly with a smile on her face.
She thought it was great. Maurice would definitely be a good father in the future, even without her.
