Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 100 Just Showing Some Concern
Eva effortlessly pushed Adrian's buttons without showing any emotions and easily made him leave.
As he walked away, his face turned as dark as the bottom of the ocean and he slammed the door with a deafening noise.
Eva shrugged, after he had left, gently caressed her abdomen, whispering softly, "Baby, don't be afraid. Don't pay attention to him. When you grow up, you can't be like him. His temper is really bad." After finishing her comments, Eva went to pack her things and get ready for work.
Just as Adrian arrived at the garage, his phone started ringing.
He was still quite angry with Eva, his face filled with frustration as he took out his phone. However, as soon as he saw the caller ID, all his emotions disappeared, and he answered the call. "Dr. Oberlin."
The person calling him was Dr. Luke Oberlin, Granny Blackwood's attending physician.
"Hello, Mr. Blackwood."
Dr. Oberlin's voice was just as gentle as the man himself. "I am Dr. Oberlin Bin, Granny Blackwood's attending physician. I apologize for disturbing you at this time. I would like to talk to you about Granny Blackwood's recent condition. If it's convenient, could you bring her in for a check-up in the next couple of days?"
Upon hearing this, Adrian couldn't help but tighten his grip on the phone.
"Today?"
"Yes, Mr. Blackwood, if possible."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Adrian sat in the driver's seat, his thin lips almost forming a straight line.
He had initially thought that Granny would need more time to recover, but he didn't expect Dr. Oberlin to call so soon.
Is it fate?
Before going downstairs, Eva had asked about this matter, and right after she finished asking, Dr. Oberlin called.
Does even fate think that things should develop this way?
Lost in thought, Adrian saw Eva approaching through the rearview mirror.
It was cold outside, and she was wearing a slightly loose blue down coat, paired with a casual off-white sweater and light-colored pants. On her feet were light beige flat sneakers. When did her dressing style change so much?
As Eva passed by, Adrian lowered the car window and called out to her.
Eva paused and looked at him with her usual expression, asking, "What's wrong?"
As soon as Adrian saw her emotionless face, he felt greatly stimulated. He closed his eyes for a moment before saying, "Dr. Oberlin just called."
Upon hearing this, Eva, who had initially shown no reaction, had a slight change in her expression. "Granny's attending physician?" "Yes."
Adrian locked his gaze on her. "Let's replace a time to take Granny in for a check-up."
Eva had been wondering why Dr. Oberlin hadn't called, but now she realized that the call had come right after she asked about it. "Sure, I think Granny has been recovering well recently, and her state of mind should be fine. Should I talk to her or would you like to?" Adrian stared at her in silence for a long time.
Seeing this, Eva took the initiative and said, "If you're busy, I can talk to Granny."
Upon hearing this, Adrian let out a self-mocking smile.
"You're in a hurry, aren't you?"
Eva replied, "... No, I'm not."
There was a moment of silence between them.
Eva glanced at Adrian's pitch-black eyes and sighed inwardly before saying, "Shall we go tell Grandma together?"
Seeing that he still remained silent, Eva blinked her eyes and asked again, "Or do you want to talk to Grandma on your own?"
He still didn't speak, only staring at her with his deep, intense eyes.
Eva pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before saying, "Well, you can think about it some more. I have to go to work now."
After speaking, Eva turned around to leave.
"Come here," Adrian called out to her, coldly saying, "We'll go together and talk to her. Get in the car."
Get in the car?
Eva glanced at the passenger seat, to be honest, she wasn't too keen on sitting there. Couldn't she just drive herself?
Seeing her standing still, Adrian furrowed his brows and asked, "What? Don't you want to peacefully coexist with me? You won't even get into my car?"
Hearing this, Eva snapped out of her thoughts and smiled slightly.
"No, I was just thinking about when we should tell Grandma."
As she spoke, Eva opened the car door and got in. Just as she was about to fasten her seatbelt, Adrian's car sped off.
Adrian's sudden acceleration startled Eva. When she turned her head, she saw him driving with a sullen face.
Forget it, Eva. As long as Grandma finishes her surgery, you can leave. It's not your concern if he throws a tantrum now. At this crucial moment, remain calm and avoid unnecessary complications. After giving herself a pep talk, Eva managed to suppress her anger and fasten her seatbelt.
As soon as she secured her seatbelt, Eva heard Adrian ask, "Why are you dressed like this today?"
Eva could handle any other question with composure.
But this question made her heart skip a beat.
She glanced at Adrian's handsome profile and felt somewhat speechless. She had only made a slight change in her appearance today, and yet he noticed.
"What's wrong with the way I'm dressed?" she asked, feigning calmness.
"It's not like you," Adrian replied.
Eva's breath hitched, and she deliberately retaliated, "What do you mean not like me? Am I only allowed to dress in one style?"
"You've never worn this style before," Adrian said.
In reality, what Adrian was concerned about was why she suddenly changed her style without his knowledge. Clothing wasn't important; what mattered was that she had changed so much without him knowing. "Oh, I haven't worn it before. Can't I wear it now?" Eva replied expressionlessly.
Adrian didn't say anything more. He seemed to be pondering his own thoughts, or perhaps he couldn't be bothered to engage with her anymore.
Eva waited for a moment, relieved that he didn't continue the topic.
Shouldn't this issue be resolved now? It seemed that in the future, if he noticed any changes, she should just confront him directly. That way, he wouldn't question her.
With this in mind, Eva silently made a decision.
When they were nearing the company, Eva decided to administer another blow to Adrian, hoping he wouldn't dwell on the issue of her changing style.
Then, before getting out of the car, she took the initiative to ask Adrian a question.
"How is Vivian's face injury?"
Upon hearing this, Adrian paused for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "It's just alright."
"Oh. Didn't you say last time that she would have scars on her face?"
"Mmm."
"So, what's the plan now?"
The car entered the parking lot, and the surroundings darkened. Eva couldn't see Adrian's expression but knew that after a while, the car stopped and his cold voice sounded somewhat displeased. "What plan?"
In reality, Eva wanted to say that if she ended up with scars, when do you plan on settling this grudge with me?
But the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back.
If she spoke, the two of them would probably argue again here. It's better to wait until Grandma finishes her surgery before bringing it up.
So, Eva pursed her lips and softly said, "It's nothing. I'm just showing some concern."
