Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 212 What Is He Afraid Of?

"Eva?" Lisa searched every corner of the house but couldn't replace Eva.

Lisa had no choice but to return to the living room and saw Adrian standing there, so she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Blackwood, it seems like my friend is not home, maybe she went out." Saying so, Lisa had to change the subject, "Why don't you have a seat? Let me make a phone call to check?"

"Alright." Originally, she thought he would decline, but unexpectedly, Adrian sat down on the sofa in a manner that suggested he had plenty of time to wait.

Lisa immediately rushed to the balcony to call Eva. "Eva, where are you?"

"You're home?" Eva, who answered the call, instinctively asked in return.

"I just arrived home, but I didn't see you."

Hearing that she had already come home, Eva breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "I had something to take care of. If you're okay, just stay at home and wait for me to come back. I have something to tell you." "I also have something to tell you..."

"Is it Lisa calling?" Suddenly, Michael's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, she's home now."

"That's good."

Originally, Lisa intended to tell Eva about the fact that the man is home and that she wants to apologize to him and have a meal together.

But after hearing Michael's voice, Lisa immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. They are together now, and she doesn't want to be disrespectful.

So Lisa quickly changed her words, "Have fun."

Perhaps Eva was still worried about something, after reminding Lisa not to wander around, she hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone in her phone, Lisa took a deep breath and raised her lips. It seems that lunch will only be between her and Mr. Blackwood.

Thinking of this, Lisa put her phone away and turned back. After returning, Lisa saw that he was still sitting in the same place, maintaining his previous posture.

As she entered, his gaze fell directly on her. "Sorry, Mr. Blackwood, my friend had something to do, so it's probably just you and me for lunch..."

"Where did she go?" Adrian interrupted with a cold voice.

Lisa was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "I'm not sure, she only told me that she had something to do."

Was it just a coincidence?

Adrian furrowed his brows displeased. She left just when he was about to come? Did she know he was coming and deliberately avoid him, or was it unintentional? Thinking about this, Adrian coldly asked, "Did she know I was coming?"

Lisa shook her head bewilderedly. "I don't know, I planned to tell her when the time came."

Since she didn't know, it was probably a misunderstanding.

Seeing that he didn't say anything further, Lisa asked, "Mr. Blackwood, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Adrian tugged at the corners of his lips and sneered, "Nothing, I just wanted to see her urgently."

This statement caused a subtle change in Lisa's expression, her gaze becoming more subtle.

"Mr. Blackwood..."

Adrian raised an eyebrow, "What? Is there a problem with wanting to apologize urgently?"

Lisa replied, "No problem, of course there's no problem."

That subtle emotion disappeared without a trace.

Mr. Blackwood is really good, worthy of being the man she's fond of.

She became increasingly determined to win his heart over.

...

After ending the call, Eva put her cellphone back in her pocket. Ruby, who was beside her, immediately seized the opportunity and climbed onto her leg. "Mama, hug me."

Before Eva could react, Ruby was suddenly scooped up by a strong hand, and Michael held her on his lap.

Although Ruby didn't get to be in her mother's arms as she wished.

Michael's embrace was also very familiar, and the little one didn't mind. She even nestled directly into his arms and in her incredibly tender voice said, "Uncle Michael, can I sleep in your arms?" Michael reached out and poked her delicate little nose.

"If you want to sleep, then sleep. When has Uncle Michael ever disagreed?"

"Thank you, Uncle Michael."

Michael thought of something and turned his head to look at Dylan, who was sitting to the side.

"Dylan, come over too?"

The little Dylan sat there, feeling somewhat reserved because he wasn't smiling or being cute.

Facing Michael's invitation, Dylan politely thanked him and then declined.

"Thank you, Uncle Michael, but it's not necessary."

Michael sighed regretfully. "You're always distant with Uncle Michael."

Before Dylan could think of an answer himself, Eva spoke for him, "He's just more introverted, as you know."

"And isn't it enough to have Ruby sticking to you?"

Having a child cling to you all day long is exhausting enough.

But who knew that after Michael heard this, he actually curved his lips and said, "Not enough. After all, as you know, I hope that the three of you, mother and children, can all stick to me." Dylan, sitting beside them, looked up at his mother.

Then he heard his mother say, "Children just cling to you."

"You can act like a child in front of me."

Now Eva finally understood. Ever since they returned to their home country, Michael seemed unable to control himself and his way of speaking had changed a lot.

What was he afraid of? Did he think that after five years, he could still turn back?

With these thoughts in mind, Eva looked at Michael helplessly.

She had wanted to ask Michael if he really had to talk to her like this.

But considering that the two children were present, Eva could only hold back her words and say nothing in the end.

Michael seemed to understand her thoughts and didn't continue with that topic, instead changing to another one.

"So, you plan to live with Lisa after that?"

"She has rented for quite a long time and will probably continue living there," Eva replied softly.

"Where is your company going to be located? If it's too far away, will you also live there?" Michael asked, tilting his head.

Upon hearing this, Eva felt conflicted.

In fact, the location of her company was quite far from here.

Previously, Lisa only knew that Eva was going to start a company but didn't know the exact location. Eva also hadn't expected Lisa to replace a place for her to rent.

"In the initial stages of starting a company, it will be busy. If it's too far away, commuting will be troublesome," Michael reminded her.

"Yeah, I know."

Eva nodded, but she hadn't started working on it yet. She would figure out how to handle this issue when she got started.

Michael didn't say anything more, simply handing her a set of keys. "Take these."

Eva didn't take them.

"These were prepared in advance, near the location of your future company. Someone will go there regularly to clean up. If you're busy, you can stay there," Michael explained. Seeing that Eva still didn't take the keys, Michael handed them to Ruby instead.

"Ruby, if you don't want your mommy to work too hard, why don't you accept Uncle Michael's keys on behalf of your mommy?"
