Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 177 I Love You to Death
After entering the room with a password lock, Emily heard the voices of the two little darlings talking.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the two kids were live streaming.
The words that were about to come out of her lips were instantly halted, as Ruby Hansen and Dylan Hansen hadn't noticed her presence yet and went straight to the kitchen to busy themselves. Emily, who thought Eva would be too busy to even wash dishes these days, entered the kitchen only to replace it spotlessly clean.
Not a dirty dish in sight, even the countertops were immaculate.
And the schedule displayed on a rack next to it showed that today had already been checked.
"Did the cleaner already come?" Emily muttered softly, without dwelling on it further. She left the kitchen and went to the balcony instead.
She only went out when the two kids finished their live stream.
"Aunt Emily!"
As soon as she saw her, Ruby Hansen excitedly rushed over and before Emily could even squat down to hug her, the little girl directly wrapped her arms around Emily's legs. "Aunt Emily, Ruby hasn't seen you in so long, really missed you," Ruby said with enthusiasm.
"Is that so?" Emily dangerously squinted her eyes, then squatted in front of her. Before Ruby could react, Emily reached out and pinched her cheeks several times, rubbing and kneading them. She continued until Ruby's cheeks turned rosy, then lovingly kissed her on the forehead.
"Auntie missed you too!"
Ruby blinked her eyes. "Auntie, you seem a bit strange..."
"Hehehe, only Aunt Emily can treat you like this. Other than Aunt Emily, nobody is allowed to touch Ruby's cheeks." Emily, at this moment, smiled mischievously and continued, "talking" "You're acting like a fool."
"Oh, okay."
The little girl's cheeks were rosy from her teasing and she obediently agreed with her words.
Seeing this, Emily couldn't help but kiss her again, adding another sentence.
"Also, besides Aunt Emily, Ruby's cheeks are not to be kissed by anyone else, except for your mommy and grandpa, of course."
At that moment, Dylan Hansen also walked over.
The little one politely called out to her, "Aunt Emily."
Seeing Dylan Hansen, Emily's eyes lit up again, she let go of Ruby and was about to pounce on him.
The little one quickly stepped back.
"Dylan!" Emily squinted her eyes and threatened, "Come over and give Aunt a kiss now!"
Hearing this, Dylan Hansen blushed and took a few steps back.
Emily caught up with him, then dragged him back and put both of them on her left and right sides.
"No wonder Eva does everything for you two, if I had two adorable kids like you, I would do the same!"
Unfortunately! It's been five years!
She is still single!
Her best friends have gotten married, gotten pregnant, and even divorced and had babies, while she remains single.
When she first came out from America, Emily hoped Eva could introduce her to some high-quality resources.
Dreaming of replaceing a foreign man and having a mixed-race baby.
Now, let alone a baby, she replaces it difficult to replace someone to date.
All of this is because of her boss!
Emily's boss happens to be a mixed-race, with half of his heritage inherited from his mother. At first, when Emily saw him, she had fantasies about him.
But as they got to know each other, she realized that he was simply a workaholic and constantly exploited her weekends.
Even when she was on a date with a man, her boss would call her and make her work overtime, threatening to cancel her year-end bonus if she didn't comply.
She had no choice but to leave the man and rush to work.
Over time, Emily blamed her inability to replace a partner on her dog of a boss.
Thinking of this, Emily felt an itch of hatred and said, "You two better pray that Aunt Emily gets married soon and gives birth to a pair of adorable babies like you. Then Aunt Emily won't only be pinching your cheeks." Ruby Hansen immediately hugged her neck affectionately and said, "Pray that Aunt Emily gets married soon."
"Oh my, my sweetie, you're so adorable, I love you to death."
...
As it was almost time to leave work, Michael came to replace Eva.
"Haven't finished your work yet?"
In the midst of her busy schedule, Eva didn't even lift her head but managed to replace some time to say, "No, I probably still need some more time."
After speaking, she suddenly realized who she was talking to and looked up.
"Why are you here?"
Michael walked in with his car keys and his suit jacket over one arm, a gentle smile on his lips.
"To pick you up from work, but it seems like you're still busy for a while."
Saying that, Michael went ahead and sat on the couch. "I'm waiting for you here. How much longer will it take?"
Initially, Eva wanted to refuse him, but in the end, she said, "About an hour."
"Alright, take your time," he nodded understandingly.
Michael didn't say anything else, understandingly sensing her need to focus on her work.
Eva quickly immersed herself back in her work.
As it neared the one-hour mark, Michael picked up a book and started flipping through it on the couch.
At first, he was able to maintain his interest in the book, but after some time, his gaze involuntarily shifted to Eva's face.
Eva was very serious about her work, her full attention focused on her notebook. Her slender, white fingers flew across the keyboard, and strands of hair fell on her cheeks without her noticing, as she remained devoted to her notebook. Occasionally, when faced with a problem that required thoughtful consideration, she would pause, supporting her chin with her hand, her delicate eyebrows lightly furrowing, and her rosy lips pursed.
Once she figured out a solution after contemplation, her eyebrows would relax, and she would dive back into her work.
Unbeknownst to Eva, every subtle expression she made while working were all observed by Michael.
While he appeared to be reading his book, he was actually observing her.
Waiting for her was not difficult for him. No matter how long it took, Michael was willing to wait. However, watching her work, it was clear that an hour was not enough.
Because Michael felt like he had the book in his hands for only a short while when Eva finished her work.
"Alright, I'm finished. We can go now."
"So soon?"
Michael glanced at his wristwatch and realized it had only been forty-five minutes.
No wonder he felt like it hadn't been an hour yet.
"Hmm, how should I put it? With my boss watching, my productivity doubled, so I finished early."
Upon hearing her explanation, a faint smile formed on Michael's lips.
"It seems like I've been putting pressure on you here."
"It's pressure and motivation. Let's go."
Eva put her notebook into her bag, intending to put on her coat. But before she had a chance to do so, Michael had already picked up her coat and walked over to her, opening his arms to help her put it on. "It's cold outside, be careful and keep warm. Don't you realize how thin and fragile you are?"
Taken aback by his words, Eva felt his breath close by. Before she could react, she heard a low sound coming from above her.
"Give me your hand."
Hearing this, Eva felt a bit awkward and said, "Shouldn't I be the one..."
"Wearing a coat, is that too much?"
After a few seconds, Eva reluctantly lifted her hand, allowing Michael to help her put on the coat. But when he tried to button it up for her, Eva couldn't help but stop his hand. "Alright, I can take care of the rest."
