Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 118 Are you not mad at me?
Back in the office, Eva placed the cake she was holding on the desk.
Before going downstairs, she was in a good mood and had a good appetite.
But now, her appetite was completely gone.
At this moment, all Eva could think about in her mind was the encounter with Alexander downstairs.
Emily's words served as a reminder to her.
Although she didn't want to speculate with malice about others, because it's possible that the encounter with Alexander today was just a coincidence, after all, the cake shop downstairs has always been doing well, so it's normal for people from other places to come here to buy cakes.
But...
How could there be so many coincidences in the world?
It just so happened that she met someone she hadn't seen for so many years when Vivian got injured, and this person happened to be Vivian's admirer.
With this in mind, Eva unwrapped the cake packaging, and a sweet aroma filled the air.
Eva picked up the knife and fork that the store assistant had prepared for her and took a small bite, all while making a decision in her heart. Regardless of whether it's a coincidence or not, she would be extremely careful from now on.
If Alexander really wants to strike back at Vivian, then she can avoid the danger.
If not...
Then she can consider it as a case of treating others with suspicion.
Although Vivian and herself had an agreement not to stop her from keeping the child in her womb, what if Vivian changes her mind?
What if there are any complications later on...
Eva didn't dare to think about it, but in any case, she would be extremely careful, even for the sake of the child.
Before leaving work,
Eva went to Adrian's office and coincidentally ran into his assistant coming out of his office.
As soon as he saw her, the assistant approached her as if he had seen a loved one.
"Mrs. Blackwood, are you here to see Mr. Blackwood?"
Eva stopped in her tracks and met his gaze.
"What's wrong? Is he busy?"
"No, not at all." The assistant shook his head like a wave drum. "Mr. Blackwood is also about to leave work. Mrs. Blackwood, I thought you wouldn't come to see him again."
Before Vivian appeared, Adrian would wait for Eva to finish work in his office and then leave the company together.
But ever since that woman showed up at the company, Eva hadn't been to his office except during work hours.
He thought Eva wouldn't come anymore.
When this was brought up, a hint of unnatural expression flashed across Eva's face, but she didn't say anything.
It's been a long time since she sat in Adrian's car to go home. If she didn't consider safety issues, she probably wouldn't have come to replace him.
"Mrs. Blackwood, please go in and replace Mr. Blackwood."
Eva nodded at him and as she passed by the assistant, she heard him say, "Mrs. Blackwood, you must do your best and take care of yourself."
Eva paused: "?"
Standing in place with a raised eyebrow, she couldn't figure it out. The previous sentence, encouraging herself, she could just assume that assistant Brent doesn't like Vivian, so she was cheering herself on, but what about the latter sentence, "take care of yourself"? It sounded completely inexplicable, as if he knew something.
She should have kept her pregnancy a secret, except for when Emily shouted at her in the office last time, but Jenny's behavior afterwards seemed normal, so she shouldn't know.
Oh well, she probably doesn't know.
Eva shook her head, not thinking about it anymore, and walked towards the direction of the office.
Adrian's office door was closed. Just as she was about to knock, the door opened from inside, and Adrian walked out looking expressionless.
Adrian clearly didn't expect Eva to come to him, and there was a slight change in his icy face.
"You're looking for me?"
Hearing this, Eva halted her hand that was raised in mid-air. She nodded, "I'm feeling a bit unwell and I don't want to drive myself. Can I drive with you tonight?" "What's wrong?"
Adrian unintentionally asked about her condition, and his sharp gaze even scanned her from head to toe.
Eva stiffened for a moment. "Um, that's not the point."
The next second, Adrian bent down and held her shoulders. "If that's not the point, then what is? What's wrong with your body?"
Earlier, he had always thought there was something off about her, as if she was hiding something from him. That report... it also made him feel strange. At that time, he thought she was sick, which is why he tore up the report. But the explanation she gave afterwards seemed flawless. It was normal for the report to be soaked by rain since it was left in her pocket. And then, she diverted the conversation using other methods, and the matter was put to rest like that. "There's nothing wrong with my body." Eva narrowed her eyebrows and said, "Adrian, I've already said there's nothing wrong with me, why don't you believe me? Or... do you actually want something to be wrong with me?" Upon hearing this, Adrian furrowed his brows.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"If it's not, then don't say there's something wrong with me. I said I feel unwell because I've been lazy lately and don't want to drive myself. Can't it just be that? Must you pry deeper?"
Her tone became impatient towards the end, and she even shook off Adrian's hand.
But Adrian was not upset at all. On the contrary, he clasped onto her tightly with his dark eyes.
"Aren't you mad at me still?"
"What?" Eva asked.
Adrian pursed his lips and calmly said, "It's nothing."
But there was a hint of a smile in his pitch-black eyes.
Being lazy was just an excuse, right? She actually wanted to reconcile with him, and could only use such a reason.
Adrian glanced at Eva, thinking that she was exactly the same as when she was a child.
She had a temper and would leave when they argued as kids. No matter how he tried to coax her, she would ignore him. And when he coaxed her to the point of impatience, she would come back to him like a little animal, but also act very spoiled in various clumsy ways.
Just like now...
Despite feeling fine, she made excuses about feeling lazy and sat in his car.
"Let's go."
Adrian turned around and walked ahead, carrying the car keys in his hand. The gloomy mood that had been hanging over him for the past few days suddenly lifted, revealing a clear and bright outlook.
Eva followed behind him, unaware that he had already created an entire scenario in his mind and had imagined himself as the protagonist. Seeing him walk in front, she simply followed.
However, just as they arrived at the garage, Adrian's phone started ringing.
When Adrian took out his phone and glanced at it, his expression froze, captivated by something inexplicable.
Eva noticed this subtle reaction and without needing to look at him, she immediately spoke up, "I'll wait over there."
After saying that, she moved away on her own accord.
Adrian tightened his thin lips, unconsciously gripping his phone tighter.
Eva waited on the side, feeling bored and restless.
Her mindset at this moment was completely different from the last time, when she stood on the side while he answered Vivian's call.
Back then, she hadn't given up on him yet, so when he answered Vivian's call, Eva felt uneasy and sad.
But now, she surprisingly felt like it didn't matter anymore.
She no longer cared.
