Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 158 Disturbing you?
In his mind, the butler sighed. With the arguments escalating like this, and Adrian's arrogant and stubborn temper, it would be difficult to convince him to go look for her.
One of the servants whispered, "When Vivian came to our house before, I felt something was off between the master and the madam. It seemed to have gotten better later, but not the same as before. Maybe our master and madam... are getting a divorce?"
Hearing the word "divorce," the butler's eyelid twitched involuntarily and he scolded, "Nonsense! You can't casually throw those words around. It's normal for couples to have conflicts. Even if the master and the madam fight today, they might reconcile tomorrow. If you have nothing better to do, go clean the windows again."
The rest of the people pouted at the butler's words and dispersed.
The butler also had a headache and waved his hand, indicating he didn't care anymore and wanted to go rest in his room.
Once the butler left, the servants couldn't help but gather and whisper to each other.
"To be honest, I feel like our master and madam have already divorced. If they haven't yet, they might in a couple of days. Just wait and see. The argument was so intense. How long have we been working for the Blackwood family? When have we seen our master lose his temper like this?"
"That's true. You didn't hear it just now when I walked to the door. How loud the voices inside were. But it's none of our business. Even if they are fighting, let them fight.
"Too much. And there's no guarantee that Vivian would be easier to get along with. In my opinion, our current madam is just fine. She never bothers us."
"You're right."
They had initially taken pleasure in Eva's misfortune and looked down on her as a bankrupt heiress. But after hearing these words of truth, their expressions became gloomy again. Indeed, why do they look down on Eva?
Even if she leaves, there will still be a new lady of the house, and the new one may not necessarily be better than Eva.
They may cause trouble for us then....
Rather than having these uncertainties, it would be better if Eva remained the lady of the house.
The thoughts of the crowd returned to this, sighing and lamenting, hoping that Eva would come back soon and that their current situation would not change.
So they waited anxiously all night and the first words they exchanged the next morning were:
"Did madam come back last night?"
"No, she didn't come back all night."
The crowd sighed immediately.
"Could it be that madam will never come back again?"
"Oh my, could it be that our master and madam... are really getting divorced?"
The people fell into sorrow once again.
...
A night had passed. Despite no noisy neighbors and the tranquility within Adrian, Eva remained sleepless throughout the night.
Emily didn't sleep well either and had been with her all night.
Early in the morning, Emily got up to prepare breakfast.
Eva lay in bed and suddenly sat up, thinking to herself, and decided to call her father.
The fact that she and Adrian were divorced was already established, so she should tell him.
Eva reached for her phone only to realize that it was out of battery and had shut down. She plugged it in to charge.
After turning it on, she discovered that her phone had received countless missed calls.
Margaret and the family's butler had called her many times, especially Margaret, who had made at least ten calls.
But due to her phone being constantly shut off, Margaret was unable to reach her.
In the end, Margaret had to send her a series of inquiring and comforting text messages, which were quite long. Reading them made Eva's heart ache and feel uneasy. After finishing reading, she couldn't help but wonder if Adrian hadn't told Kim and Margaret about their divorce yet. Why was Margaret still saying these things to her? Before she could ponder further, her phone rang unexpectedly.
Eva held the phone and saw that the incoming call was from Adrian, causing her heart to skip a beat.
Why would he call her at a time like this?
Eva hesitated, unsure if she should answer the call.
They were already divorced, so there couldn't be anything worse. Taking the call wouldn't be a big deal, right?
She took too long to make a decision, and by the time she finally decided to answer the call, it had already ended.
So Eva took a deep breath and called back instead.
Once the other side picked up, she explained, "Sorry, I was busy just now."
Upon hearing her explanation, there was a brief silence on the other end, followed by...
With a sneer, Adrian said, "Busy with your Michael? Did I disturb you two?"
Eva remained silent.
Because there was nothing between her and Michael, Eva's instinct was to refute when he mentioned himself being with Michael. But she realized that she had already admitted it in front of him. So the words that were about to come out got stuck at her lips.
Now he must think she and Michael were together, maybe even last night...
But it seemed there was nothing left to explain.
In the end, Eva could only choose to stay silent.
And her silence, as it reached Adrian, became acquiescence.
So, last night, she really was with Michael.
Adrian's heart turned ashen instantly, his teeth clenched, but he couldn't speak a word.
After a moment, he finally heard Eva say, "I still have some things at the Blackwood family. Can I go there today to collect them? And about our divorce, did you talk to Uncle Kim and Aunt Margaret...?" At this point, Eva suddenly stopped, realizing that using those titles was inappropriate. So she changed her words, "About our divorce, did you not tell Uncle Kim and Aunt Margaret?"
She reverted to using the titles she had used before marrying Adrian.
Uncle Kim.
Aunt Margaret.
Adrian's eyes darkened slightly as he repeated the titles in his mind, then he forced a smile and spoke recklessly, "Eva, this is my family business. What's your relationship with me? Is it your place to interfere?" Hearing his words, Eva's expression changed slightly, and then she lowered her eyes.
"Sorry, I crossed a line unintentionally."
Yeah, they were already divorced. Uncle Kim, Aunt Margaret, and Granny Blackwood were no longer her family.
Marriage is such a strange thing.
When they were together, his family was her family.
But once they separated, she instantly lost several family members.
Hearing her apologize, a twinge of regret flashed through Adrian's heart, but it didn't last long before it was shattered by her next words.
"Well then, when would it be convenient for me to go and collect my things?"
After all, she had stayed with the Hansen family for so long, and she still had some belongings there that she needed to retrieve.
Upon hearing this, Adrian sneered.
"Eva, what do you need to clean up? You're already divorced and moving on to your new life. So tell me, does your current companion allow you to bring your old things and stay with him?" Another set of words meant to hurt her.
Eva bit her lip. "Some things are mine."
"Well, then replace time to come and get them yourself."
With that, Adrian hung up the phone.
