Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 104 The Woman He Fancies

The tall and slim man looked at Eva in astonishment, his eyes flashing with a hint of amazement. Although the girl in front of him was beautiful, he did not know her. The gentlewoman beside him also tightened her gaze when she saw Eva, then stared at her with caution.

"Who is she? Did you replace someone behind my back?"

The slim man could only explain hurriedly, "No, love, I don't know her either. Who knows why she suddenly came up to talk to me? Who are you, by the way?"

In truth, the slim man had a bad temper and was about to lose it when Eva approached him like this. However, her appearance was too stunning for him to do so, so he felt embarrassed to be harsh with her.

"Does it matter if you know me or not?" Eva stared at him coldly, her eyes devoid of emotion. "What matters is what you said. You claim to love her, but you have a child with another woman. Who do you think you're fooling?" Hearing this, the slim man's face turned red. "W-What does it have to do with you?"

The woman beside him remained silent, her face growing solemn.

Eva smirked. "I simply can't stand your pretentious act."

"Do not think that just because you're good-looking, I won't lay a hand on you!"

Perhaps her words had triggered something, as the slim man suddenly raised his hand towards Eva. He didn't really intend to hit her, just scare her. However, as he lifted his hand, a strong grip seized it. "What the hell?"

The slim man looked up and met a pair of deep black eyes, which were hidden behind sunglasses. Despite that, those eyes were like deep pools, filled with coldness that sent shivers down his spine. With a gentle twist, Michael caused the slim man to scream in pain, sweat forming on his forehead.

Upon seeing him in agony, Michael released his grip and pulled out a clean handkerchief from his pocket to gently wipe his fingers. Arching an eyebrow, he said, "This is a lesson for you, for thinking of laying a hand on a woman." After wiping his fingers, he tossed the handkerchief into the nearby trash bin. "Let's go."

Michael's voice softened considerably when facing Eva. She had never seen him like this before, and subconsciously nodded in response. "Okay."

The two of them left the restaurant together. Even from a distance, they could still hear the tall and slim man hurling vulgar language at them. It was not until his voice was drowned out by the bustling city that Eva regained some clarity. "Sorry for causing you trouble," she said.

Hearing her apology, Michael smiled nonchalantly. Seeing her look so remorseful, he couldn't help but reach out to rub the back of her head. Unfortunately, before his hand could touch her, Eva instinctively leaned away, avoiding his touch. Michael's distinctively-defined hand lingered in the air for a moment, his gaze growing heavy. However, he quickly concealed it, retrieving his hand without a trace and returning to his relaxed and warm demeanor. "It's no big deal."

Eva felt a bit awkward about their previous interaction. She felt that Michael had just reflexively performed a gesture from their childhood, and he still subconsciously wanted to do it. But did he consider that both she and he were not children anymore.

Thinking about how he just wiped his hands and threw the handkerchief away, Eva couldn't help but ask, "After five years abroad, do you have OCD?"

Just by touching the other person's wrist, even with clothes in between, he actually took out a handkerchief to wipe it, not only that, he even threw the handkerchief away.

Hearing this, Michael paused for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Eva's wrist.

Although she didn't dislike Michael, this kind of physical contact still made her feel a bit embarrassed. When she subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, Michael let go and then held his hand out to her. "Do you still think I have OCD like this?"

Eva: "..."

So, he was just using this method to prove that he doesn't have OCD?

After five years abroad, his personality has changed too much.

"I just think that he is not clean with those two girls, and I dirtied my hands by touching him."

Following that, Michael added without a trace.

Hearing this, Eva's eyes dimmed.

She thought of Adrian again.

Seeing her silence, Michael sighed, "Although I don't know if I should say too much, everyone in the circle has always known about Adrian and Vivian's relationship. As for you marrying him..."

At this point, Michael paused, "I'm not sure what exactly is going on between you two, but it seems like you don't like this kind of relationship now. If it's painful, end it sooner."

Although Eva has known Michael since childhood, there has always been a barrier between them, and she doesn't want to tell him too much about her own affairs.

So, she just smiled and nodded in response to his advice, "Okay, I understand."

Michael dropped the subject and didn't mention it again.

"Do you really not need me to take you back?"

"No, go ahead."

"Alright, then I'll wait with you here until you get on the bus."

Eva felt a bit embarrassed to refuse again, so she agreed.

When the bus arrived, as Eva was about to get on, Michael suddenly took out his phone and opened a QR code.

Eva glanced at it briefly and found that it was a QR code.

"Weren't you going to transfer money to me just now?"

Hearing this, Eva snapped back to reality and quickly took out her phone to scan it.

But instead of transferring money, it turned out to be the add friend interface.

Michael looked at her with a gentle expression.

"If you want to transfer money, add me as a friend first."

Eva: "Alright, fine."

Adding him as a friend, she got on the bus and left quickly.

Michael added her as a WeChat friend, stood on the side of the road watching as the bus drove away, but he didn't hurry to leave. Instead, he clicked into Eva's WeChat moments and carefully browsed through it. After finishing reading, he remembered something and made a phone call to his subordinate.

"Help me check Eva's recent activities."

"Yeah, replace out where she went specifically and send me a summary."

However, the most abnormal thing is Eva's eating habits. He has seen her five times, and three times he saw her eating and drinking juice with enthusiasm, not looking like someone with no appetite. But she seems to be afraid of greasy food. This appearance is similar to his young stepmother who is pregnant but dare not let him know, afraid that he will harm her, hiding and concealing, but unable to hide anything in terms of diet.

He doesn't want to suspect Eva. It's just that he has experienced it before, so when he sees Eva like this, he naturally thinks in that direction. And she is the woman he has chosen.

Since she is the woman, he has chosen and won't easily let go, naturally he wants to know everything about her. In fact, after experiencing five years of dark struggles abroad, Michael, who he is now, wants to have absolute control over what he wants and will not easily give in.

The incident of going abroad five years ago, which resulted in him losing her and letting her become someone else's wife, will not happen again in the future.
