Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 152 Weren't You Planning on Divorce?
The enchanting atmosphere in the air vanished without a trace.
Adrian took a while to turn his head and face her squarely. After a moment, something crossed his mind, and a hint of seduction appeared in his dark eyes.
Once again, he held her chin with one hand, lightly pressing his fingertip against the corner of her swollen lips from the kiss, and tugged his own lips, saying, "The marriage might be fake, but was I faking it when I had you?" Eva could hardly believe what she was hearing.
"What did you say?"
"Isn't that right?" Adrian's fingertip moved downward along her beautiful neckline, eventually resting on her lovely collarbone.
His throat tightened, and he uttered a provocative remark in a low voice.
"When you begged me to have you, you didn't look like this."
Eva's pupils slightly contracted.
After a moment, she raised her hand and slapped him again.
Adrian's handsome face took another hit, and a few seconds later, he coldly sneered, "Keep hitting me all you want, Eva. Do you think I won't lay a finger on you?"
As he spoke, Eva slapped him across the face once more.
Adrian's entire face turned dark.
But as he looked at Eva, red-eyed and angry beneath him, he truly couldn't bring himself to harm her.
Thinking of something, Adrian tugged at his lips and said, "It's alright. The harder you hit me now, the more I'll make you payback twice as much later."
Knowing that he was spouting nonsense again, Eva wanted to give him another slap.
Unfortunately, this time her hand was grabbed by Adrian.
"You're quite something, aren't you? You have no hesitation hitting me, but you protect Michael at the slightest touch from me, huh?"
Eva struggled a bit but couldn't free herself. She realized that if Adrian wanted to restrain her when he was angry, she wouldn't be able to escape.
Adrian had no way to respond. Eventually, he gave up and stared at the Adrian in front of him, speaking slowly, "Do you know how much I truly dislike you for being like this?" Upon hearing this, Adrian's face stiffened slightly, then he smirked and lifted his lips mockingly.
"So, who do you like? Is it Michael?"
"Yes!"
Her firm voice silenced Adrian, and the mocking expression disappeared from his lips.
A few seconds later, Adrian questioned her with an ashen face, "Say it again?"
After uttering those words, even Eva herself fell silent for several seconds. She never expected that she would admit it like this.
But they were already going to get a divorce, so instead of dragging it out, it was better to resolve it quickly.
With this in mind, Eva closed her eyes and said, "I like him, I want to be with him, so... let's get a divorce."
Her chin was gripped tightly, and Eva heard Adrian's cold voice, "Open your eyes and look at me while you say it."
Following his words, Eva opened her eyes and met Adrian's deep black eyes, enunciating each word, "I like him, I want to..."
"That's enough!"
Before she could finish, Adrian suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something, releasing her chin and abruptly standing up from the bed.
He stood by the bedside, his previous emotions and desires gone, replaced only by endless coldness and darkness.
Caught in this gaze, Eva felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
Finally, she heard him say, "You want a divorce, right? I'll grant your wish."
In that moment, Eva felt as if she heard her heart hitting the ground. She lay motionless, not looking at Adrian, only catching a glimpse of him leaving with the corner of her eye. Then, the door slammed shut.
The room, previously filled with intense atmosphere, suddenly fell silent.
The air seemed to still carry the cold breath of a man.
Eva closed her eyes.
It's fine this way.
Just like this.
Half an hour later, Michael called her.
On the other end of the phone, Michael's tone was full of apology.
"Sorry, I meant to help you, but it seems like I messed up. Are you okay?"
Originally, it was him who got punched, and he might even end up conflicting with his brother because of this, yet he was now apologizing to her. Eva felt incredibly guilty. "It's not your fault." She said firmly, "If anyone should apologize, it's me for causing you to get hit."
Upon hearing this, Michael chuckled softly.
"What's the big deal? It's normal for a man to take a few hits."
"But what about you and him in the future..."
"Don't worry, we were brothers after all. At most, he won't talk to me for a while, but even if he doesn't, I will go and apologize to him."
Hearing this, Eva finally felt relieved.
"That's good then."
"So, is everything resolved smoothly?"
Eva nodded, then remembered she was on the phone and that Michael couldn't see her, so she switched back to conversation mode. "Yes, temporarily resolved."
"How are you feeling?"
Eva was overwhelmed with frustration, and apologizing earlier had already pushed her to her limit.
Eva could have hung up the phone earlier if it weren't for Michael's help.
But now, she tried her best to maintain a calm tone and said, "Michael, I want some time alone, okay?"
Michael on the other end of the phone fell silent for a while before saying, "Alright, take your time and let me know if there's anything you need to talk about."
After hanging up, Eva threw her phone to the side and curled up on the bed.
Her emotions made her stomach uncomfortable, and Eva gently rubbed her belly, whispering to herself, "Baby, be good. Once we're divorced, we'll leave this troublesome place and start a life together, just the two of us." Soon after, Eva fell into a deep sleep.
She woke up in a daze after a while, replaceing herself still in the same sleeping position.
When she tried to get up, Eva realized that her pillow was wet.
She stared at the tear stains on the pillow, feeling confused for a moment, and then gently touched her own tear-stained eyes.
They were damp.
Had she been crying in her dream?
After sitting for a while, Eva got up to change the wet pillowcase and searched for a new one in the cabinet.
Once she finished, she sat back on the bed, lost in her thoughts.
Unable to sleep, she realized that her heart felt empty and she was in great discomfort, but there was nothing she could do about it. Lost in her thoughts, she heard footsteps outside the door.
As soon as she heard the footsteps, Eva immediately tensed up and wiped the corners of her eyes, relieved to replace no tears.
As she got off the bed, she saw Adrian, with a cold expression, walking in.
He looked at her with cold eyes and a face devoid of warmth, not even his tone had any temperature when he spoke. "Do you have time?"
Upon hearing that, Eva paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes."
Adrian remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Is the household register with you?"
Eva nodded again.
"And the divorce certificate?"
Eva hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's also here."
As if confirming something, after hearing her admission, Adrian finally curved his lips into a mocking smile.
"Alright, you're well-prepared. Seems like you can't wait to get it over with."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Eva stood still, feeling confused.
What did he mean?
"Aren't we getting a divorce? Come with me, we're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
