Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 149 Afraid of Owing Me?
Leaving the Blackwood family, Eva received a call from Michael the moment she went downstairs. "Why did you come to the company today?" Upon hearing this sentence, Eva was taken aback, "How did you know..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Eva suddenly thought of something and looked in the direction of the previous parking spot.
Sure enough, she actually saw a familiar car parked there.
"Why did you come here?"
"It's quite a coincidence." Michael chuckled on the other end of the phone, "I came to wrap up the last conversation we had about cooperation." When it came to the last conversation, Eva had no doubts.
Even if Michael didn't mention it, she wouldn't have suspected anything. After all, she hadn't been to the company these days, and Michael couldn't possibly be waiting for her here. He couldn't possibly come every day, right?
Since they had met, Eva was ready to go over.
Unexpectedly, just as she took a step, she heard Michael say, "Don't move, I'll have the driver move the car."
"No need, it's just a few steps. I can walk over."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Michael said, "Don't you want a divorce?"
Hearing this, Eva paused her steps, "What does that have to do with anything?"
"Of course it does."
Eva couldn't figure out what Michael was up to. He came in a car while she was walking, and it had something to do with her divorce?
As she contemplated, the car had already started and was coming toward her.
Eva could only walk to the side and wait for the car to come over.
While waiting for the car, Eva could still see familiar faces at the company gate. They would even exchange glances with her and greet her by calling her Ms. Hansen when they were closer.
It was because of these things that Eva suddenly realized why Michael said that the car coming to her had something to do with her thoughts of divorce.
When the car stopped in front of her, she stood still.
Sure enough, the car window didn't roll down as she imagined, but Michael personally opened the door to pick her up.
"Get in the car." He smiled and said, "If we didn't meet by chance, how about having lunch together?"
Since her secret had been discovered by Michael, Eva's relationship with him seemed to have inexplicably become closer.
Sure enough, many people stopped in their tracks and looked inquisitively at them.
Eva could even feel their enthusiastic gazes, and she could imagine what the company group chat would be like after she got in this car.
Reason told her that she shouldn't get in the car and should maintain her dignity.
But when she thought about how Adrian could bring Vivian to the company, and how everyone was gossiping about their relationship, it was simply causing a stir. The person who was teased the most was her.
After thinking about it, Eva no longer hesitated and nodded to get into the car.
"Thank you."
After Michael gentlemanly closed the car door for her, he also sat down.
After getting in the car, he pursed his lips and said, "I thought you wouldn't get in."
Eva calmly said, "Why not get in when there's a free ride and lunch?"
"Are you not planning to treat me this afternoon?"
Upon hearing this, Eva glanced at him.
"I won't treat you. In the end, you'll still end up paying, so why should I bother treating you?"
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
Normally, Eva would say anything, but now that he already knew her secret, it would be too petty if she didn't satisfy herself in terms of food, right?
Thinking about this, she immediately mentioned a few things she loved to eat.
After listening to her description, Michael couldn't help but chuckle and say, "You really have no manners."
"Yes, I have a big appetite now. It's not too late for you to regret it."
Michael thought for a moment and said, "I can afford it."
Actually, he wanted to say that he could afford to keep her, but saying that at this moment probably wouldn't be appropriate and might scare her away, right? He still needed to take things slowly.
On the way to the restaurant, Michael asked about her and Adrian's situation.
Upon learning that Adrian was avoiding her and unwilling to divorce, Michael's eyes behind his glasses showed a hint of surprise, which soon returned to normal, and he smirked. Adrian's actions were quite unexpected.
He glanced at Eva sitting beside him and asked softly, "So, what do you think now?"
"What?"
"If he insists on not divorcing, will you still continue to be Mrs. Blackwood?"
Continue to be Mrs. Blackwood?
Of course not.
Eva answered in her mind. She wasn't that desperate. No matter what Adrian's current thoughts were on not wanting to divorce her, as long as Vivian was his savior, he would never cut off contact with Vivian. How could a relationship accommodate three people?
Moreover, he had already decided to divorce her, which meant she was never his first choice.
However, she didn't say these things in front of Michael. She just smiled lightly at him and didn't respond.
Michael was a very tactful person.
He cared about you, but not to the extent of being overly concerned. He would only ask once, and if you didn't need it, he wouldn't ask again.
However, Michael suddenly thought of something interesting and turned to Eva, saying, "Guess how long it will take for Adrian to replace out about me picking you up from the company?"
Eva paused. Even if Adrian was avoiding her now, what difference did it make if he found out?
"Why don't we make a bet?" Michael suggested. "Bet on whether Adrian will come replace you immediately after he replaces out that you got in my car."
Eva stood still in astonishment.
After a while, she said, "Michael, you can be so childish sometimes?"
Michael laughed. "Don't you want to know? Last time, he seemed to mind you being with me."
Upon hearing this, Eva thought to herself: Just the result of boring male pride.
But in the end, Eva still asked, "What do you want to bet with me?"
"Tsk, seems like I can't deceive you at all."
"You're betting on whether he will come to replace you."
"What will you do after he replaces you?"
"If Adrian comes, let me help you."
"What?"
"Your divorce issue."
Upon hearing this, Eva remained silent.
Last time Michael had mentioned whether he should help her or not, and she hadn't agreed. After all, she felt that this was her own business and involving someone else for no reason would only create another favor to be repaid. She already owed enough favors to others.
Seeing her silence, Michael smiled faintly and said, "Why aren't you speaking? Are you afraid of owing me?"
After hearing his words, Eva snapped back to reality and nodded gently.
Michael flicked her forehead and then said helplessly, "It's just a bet. If you lose, you agree to my terms. How does that make you owe me a favor? And when did I make you owe me one?"
"I..." Eva started to say something, but his action caused her to furrow her eyebrows slightly. But considering that he had also grown up with them, she decided not to say anything. "A bet, right? I guess he should arrive at the restaurant not long after we do."
