Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 206 Some Changes
The warm coat instantly enveloped Eva, carrying Michael's body heat. His temperature was much higher than hers, and the warmth instantly dispelled the cold evening breeze. Eva smiled at him and said, "Thank you."
Michael looked at her with a helpless yet doting look in his eyes. "It's so cold outside, don't you know to dress warmer? Do you even realize how delicate you are?"
Before Eva could reply, Lisa interjected, "Michael, stop talking about Eva. If she dressed any warmer, would there be any chance for you to show your concern?" "Alright." Eva interrupted them and suggested, "It's cold outside, let's talk inside."
The three of them entered the house together. Once inside, Eva took off Michael's coat and returned it to him. "Put it on quickly, don't catch a cold."
Michael took the coat from her but didn't put it on. He just held it in his hands.
Lisa glanced at the two of them, her eyes rolling, and then said, "I'll disappear and give you two some alone time."
After saying that, Lisa walked towards the bedroom and coincidentally bumped into David coming out.
David saw that Eva had returned and was about to greet her, but before he could say anything, Lisa covered his mouth and dragged him away. "Can't you be more considerate? Give your boss and Eva some privacy." With the coat in his hands, Michael followed Eva into the living room, subtly observing her expressions all the while.
At first, Eva didn't notice and asked him what he wanted to drink. Michael said plain water. After Eva poured the water for him, she realized that his gaze had been fixed on her the whole time.
She placed the glass of water in front of him and raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter? Do I have a rare treasure on me that you've been staring at me all this time?"
Michael's thin lips curled slightly, and his gold-framed glasses reflected a faint glimmer under the living room light. His voice was gentle. "Long time no see, I missed you a little, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."
His words were direct and straightforward. This caught Eva off guard. After a moment of hesitation, Eva raised an eyebrow. "Alright then, feel free to take a few more glances."
She quickly changed the subject. "Have you finished all your work?"
Michael nodded. "Yes, I came straight here as soon as I was done."
"Don't worry, David is here. He will take care of whatever you need."
Upon hearing that, Michael fell silent for two seconds before asking, "Do you think I'm worried about that?"
Eva quickly replied, "Then what else could it be?"
After responding, she realized something was off. When she looked up, she saw Michael smiling at her.
"Eva, what do you think?"
Eva couldn't tell if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Michael was somehow different this time compared to when he was abroad.
She had always known that he had feelings for her. Because she knew she would reject him, Michael never even hinted at it. But now, it seemed...
Eva's silence made Michael's eyes darken slightly. He pursed his thin lips and sat there quietly, waiting for her answer.
Unfortunately, after a long wait, all he got was Eva's question. "You must be exhausted from flying back. Did you book a hotel?"
With David here, how could the hotel not have been booked in advance? However, in the face of Eva's question, Michael suddenly wondered what she would do if he said no. One second he thought about it, the next second, Michael just did it.
"No," he denied.
Upon hearing this, Eva immediately furrowed her brows. Instinctively, she wanted to ask how David handled things and how he could mess up even booking a hotel.
But as the words were about to come out, Eva remembered that David was busy with the auction today and would come back to take care of their two children.
She instantly found it difficult to say anything else.
After all, she had her share of responsibilities.
Thinking of this, Eva took out her phone and said, "Then let me book it for you now. Where do you intend to stay?"
Michael continued to stare at her without moving. "The environment here is nice."
Eva paused.
In her bewildered eyes, Michael smiled and said, "Anyway, I'll be staying here for quite some time. David told me there are houses for rent here."
"Yes," Eva replied vaguely.
With a smile, Michael asked, "Great, do you have the contact information for their landlord?"
"There should be one, but it's already so late now. Even if we want to rent a house, we'll have to do it the day after tomorrow, right? After renting the house, we'll also need to clean it and buy bedding," Eva replied. "Yes, that makes sense. So I'm wondering if our Ms. Hansen will have time tomorrow to accompany me to the supermarket for shopping?" Michael asked.
Eva couldn't refuse such a request and had to agree. "Okay."
A few seconds later, Eva spoke again. "Should I book a hotel for you?"
"No need," Michael stood up. "Let David handle this. Let him come out. It's getting late, and we shouldn't disturb your rest."
In the end, Michael chose to give in.
I can't rush things, he thought.
Before leaving, Eva said to Michael, "After I get contact information from Lisa, I'll send it to you."
Michael nodded.
"Thank you for your help."
"Don't mention it. You've helped me a lot, so this is just a small matter."
After that, she stood at the door and watched the two of them leave. After they were gone, Lisa suddenly appeared behind her.
"David is quite capable. Ruby and Dylan have already fallen asleep."
Upon hearing this, Eva froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Indeed, but it's already their bedtime."
"I heard David say that Dylan and Ruby wanted to wait for you to come back before going to sleep, but it got too late, and they couldn't hold on, so they fell asleep."
At this point, Lisa's face showed a guilty expression.
"I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been delayed this late, and the two little ones wouldn't have had to wait for you for so long."
"It's nothing. Just a small matter." After comforting Lisa, Eva said, "I'll go check on them."
"Okay."
Eva returned to the room.
Usually, the two little ones sleep in separate rooms, but today they must have been waiting together, so now they were sleeping together.
Ruby was curled up with her love-shaped pillow, wrapped in a blanket, sleeping in the corner against the wall. Dylan, on the other hand, lay stiffly at the edge of the bed like an adult, guarding his sister, as if he was afraid she might roll off the bed.
As soon as Eva entered, Dylan woke up immediately.
He opened his eyes wide in the darkness, and cautiously got up.
"Mama."
Eva instinctively gestured to him and then walked over to turn on a small lamp for little Adrian. She also took a small blanket from the bed and covered Dylan's shoulders, lowering her voice, "Why are you awake? I thought you were asleep." Dylan burrowed into the blanket and snuggled into Eva's embrace, whispering, "Mama didn't come back, so I couldn't sleep."
