Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 230 Father Takes Them Away
Because she needed to pick up the children, Eva left the company early.
But when she arrived at the school, she was five minutes late.
The school teacher told her that the two children had already been picked up by their father.
Upon hearing this, Eva's face changed dramatically, and her voice became somewhat out of control.
"What did you say?? Father took them away?"
Where did Ruby and Dylan's father come from?
The school teacher was obviously startled by her loud voice and weakly said, "The one who registered the children with you on the first day. Isn't he Ruby and Dylan's father?" The one who came together on the first day of registration? Are they talking about Michael?
Upon hearing this, Eva I breathed a sigh of relief. So it was Michael that they were talking about, I thought Adrian found out and got worried.
"What's wrong? Ms. Hansen, you don't look well... Is there something bothering you?" the teacher asked hesitantly.
Eva came back to her senses and shook her head, "No, there's nothing wrong. Did I scare you just now? I thought I was being abducted by human traffickers."
"It's okay, it's okay if you're fine, Ms. Hansen. Take care on your way home."
After saying goodbye to the school teacher, Eva quickly returned home.
When she opened the door, she was greeted by the smell of food.
Eva took off her shoes at the entrance and as she walked into the living room, she could hear the voices of her two children talking inside the house.
In the kitchen, the nanny Luna, whom Michael had hired for her, was busy.
Upon hearing the noise, Luna turned around to greet her, "Ms. Hansen, you're back."
Hearing Luna's words, the two children instantly came out of their room.
"Mama!"
"Mama, you're back."
They both simultaneously hugged Eva's thighs, looking up at her with little faces.
Eva's heart melted instantly.
She bent down and hugged one child in each arm.
"How was school today? Did you have fun? Did you have any conflicts with your classmates?" she asked.
Both kids shook their heads at the same time, indicating they didn't.
While they were talking, Michael also walked out of the room. When his eyes landed on her, he noticed her loose hair and finally fixed his gaze on her red lips without saying a word.
Eva also noticed his gaze and patted the shoulders of the two kids, whispering, "Why don't you two go play by yourselves for now?"
After the two children left, Michael's gaze still lingered on her lips for a while. When he confirmed there was nothing unusual on them, his eyes moved up to meet hers.
The sound of the exhaust fan from the kitchen, as well as the fading voices of the two children, filled the air. Eva clenched her lips and hesitated on how to initiate the conversation.
Just as she was struggling, Michael softly inquired, "How was work today? Is there anything I can help with?"
Eva instinctively shook her head. "No, everything is fine."
She hesitated and struggled to speak, "Today..."
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't." Michael interrupted her softly, smiling slightly. "Since I know you've already let go of it a long time ago, I won't doubt you. Besides, I'm still in my probationary period here, so I don't have the right to inquire about your affairs."
Upon hearing his words, Eva immediately felt relieved.
This was better. She didn't want to explain herself to anyone.
"Thank you," Eva smiled at him. She always felt indebted to Michael.
That night, Michael stayed for dinner.
After dinner, Luna finished cleaning and left.
Eva looked at the time and realized it wasn't early anymore, so she let the two children continue with their activities.
Before Eva could speak, Michael reached out and took off his gold-rimmed glasses, then smiled at her.
"Seems like it's getting late," he said. Eva subconsciously nodded in response. "It's not early either."
"The hotel is quite far from here, so can I stay at your place tonight? Of course, I'll pay for the room," he said.
Upon hearing him say that he would pay for the room, Eva found it absurd.
"Why pay for the room? This house was originally rented to us by you. It's just one night, so make yourself at home."
After speaking, Eva stood up directly and said, "I'll tidy up the room for you."
Michael also stood up. "No need for you to tidy up, I'll take care of it myself."
He followed Eva to the guest room. Since it was winter, they needed thick blankets and pillows to stay the night. Eva hadn't anticipated anyone else coming, so she had only prepared three sets of bedding, none of which were for Michael. She thought for a moment, then turned around and handed him her blanket.
"Why don't you use mine first, and I'll squeeze with Ruby tonight." "Alright," Michael said, being rather unceremonious as he took it.
"Thank you, Eva."
Eva forced a smile and didn't reply. Michael went back to the room with the blanket, while Eva stood still for a while before going to replace Ruby.
When Ruby realized that she would be sleeping with her, she became extremely excited and held onto Eva's waist, unwilling to let go. "Mommy, can you tell Ruby a story before she falls asleep?"
Eva replied, "Hmm, if Ruby behaves well, Mommy can consider it."
"Mommy, how can Ruby behave well?"
"For example, Ruby can tell Mommy what she did at school today."
Throughout the day, due to Michael's presence, Eva hadn't had the chance to ask the two little ones about their experiences at school in detail.
This was also why she had been reluctant to replace another half. The time Eva spent with the two kids alone wasn't enough for her.
"What did you do at school today?" Ruby lowered her head, seriously thinking back, and then raised it to tell Eva about everything she did at school today, one thing at a time.
Despite the little girl's limited communication skills and the fact that she had trouble speaking properly due to cavities caused by eating too many sweets, Eva still listened attentively, showing a gentle gaze and expression on her face. Occasionally, when the little girl paused, Eva would say a few words. Most of the time, she just listened to the little girl. Towards the end, Ruby suddenly stopped and added, "Mommy, today when Uncle Michael came to pick us up, many kids thought he was our dad."
Hearing this, a gentle smile appeared on Eva's lips.
"What?"
"Before, everyone thought that Ruby and her brother didn't have a father and wanted to mock us. The teacher defended us several times, but they didn't believe it. But today, Uncle Michael went, even though Uncle Michael is not our father, they shouldn't dare to make fun of Ruby and her brother anymore, right?"
