Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 231 The Scent of Perfume

Eva never expected that such a thing would happen when the children went to school.

She initially thought that the atmosphere of that school was good, which is why she let the two kids go. Back when they were abroad, everyone was still young, so there were no ulterior motives. But now, the children were gradually growing up.

The disadvantages of being from a single-parent family were gradually surfacing among their classmates.

Eva remembered experiencing a period like this when she was young too.

Her father had shown her a lot of love.

And she was the Miss of the Hansen family, a powerful family. Those people didn't dare to gather together and bully her, even going out of their way to please her because she was the Miss of the Hansen family.

At first, Eva was happy that everyone was willing to be friends with her. She even considered herself an outsider.

She thought that her single-parent family would definitely make people think she was unhealthy and not want to befriend her.

So, when everyone wanted to befriend her, Eva always thought that everyone was kind.

But later, she overheard those people secretly discussing her.

"Let me tell you a little secret, Eva is a weirdo."

"Weirdo?"

"Her mom is a shameless woman who ran away with another man right after giving birth to her. My mom said we shouldn't be true friends with her, or else she'll corrupt us in the future." "That's so scary! Let's keep our distance from her."

Young Eva's eyes turned red after hearing these words. From then on, she didn't need them to keep their distance anymore; she avoided them herself.

When she was young, her mentality was abnormal.

It wasn't until later, when those people said bad things about her again, that she hid in a corner and listened quietly. The adolescent Adrian heard it, and he directly kicked over the chairs in the classroom and threatened to fight them. Only then did those people disperse.

After the people who had spoken ill of her left, Adrian dragged her out of the corner.

"Eva, you hide here and listen to them insulting you?"

Eva kept her head down and didn't say anything.

Adrian stared at her in silence for a while, then finally pressed her head into his chest.

"With me around, no one dares to speak ill of you anymore."

Since then, with Adrian's presence, Eva gradually grew bolder, and her mental state improved significantly.

But... as Eva snapped back to reality, she looked at Ruby.

Each child's situation was different, as were the things they encountered on the way.

Sometimes, she regretted not replaceing them a father all these years, regretted not doing enough. But the one thing she never regretted was giving birth to them.

With that in mind, Eva turned over and hugged Ruby, closing her eyes.

"Ruby, don't worry. With mommy around, no one will ever mock you and your brother."

Ruby didn't think much of it and replied with a smile, "Ruby is fine, mommy doesn't need to worry. When they tease Ruby, big brother will protect Ruby."

"Mmm, mommy will protect both of you too."

Hotel penthouse suite

Adrian returned to the room with a cold expression and found two people on his room's couch. One was his assistant, Jacob, and the other was Vivian. Seeing Vivian, Adrian's eyes flashed with surprise. "Adrian."

Seeing him return, Vivian immediately stood up. "You're finally back."

The surprise was fleeting, and Adrian quickly regained his composure, walking inside with an emotionless face. "How did you get in?"

As he spoke, his sharp gaze also scanned Jacob.

Jacob, feeling guilty, averted his gaze. He knew Adrian would blame him for allowing Vivian to enter. He wouldn't have let any other woman in so easily. But this was Vivian, even though Adrian and her weren't officially together, everyone knew Vivian was well acquainted with Margaret.

She would marry into the Blackwood family; it was just a matter of time in everyone's eyes.

Vivian knew what Adrian's words meant and felt somewhat embarrassed. She could only explain, "Don't blame Brent. I asked him to let me in. I said I'd cause trouble if he didn't, and he had no choice."

Hearing this, Adrian paused, his gaze fixed on Vivian's face. "Is that so?"

Vivian weakly nodded, but in the next moment, she heard Adrian coldly sneer, "Throw a tantrum if you don't get your way? Vivian, when did you become so unreasonable?"

Vivian's expression changed slightly. "Adrian, I just..."

Brent didn't expect Adrian to disrespect Miss Morrison like this. Knowing that this place would soon become a scene of trouble, he didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately packed up, saying, "Miss Morrison seems to have something to discuss with Mr. Blackwood. I'll leave first."

Leaving when trouble arises, Adrian scoffed.

Seeing that he didn't want her around either, Jacob hurriedly left with his belongings.

After he left, the hotel room fell silent. Vivian looked at Adrian in front of her and felt a lack of dignity. Fortunately, Jacob was his personal assistant; she wouldn't have been able to bear it if someone else was present.

"Adrian, where were you all day? I called you, but your phone was off. Are you busy with work? Oh, did you eat today? Are you hungry now..."

"Vivian," Adrian's tone was very cold.

He called her name in a cold tone. Vivian stopped and looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

"I've told you before, don't waste your time on me."

Upon hearing this, Vivian's eyes immediately turned red.

"How is this a waste? I just like you, I want to give and sacrifice for you. And I believe that as long as I stay by your side, you will eventually realize..." "No." Adrian denied her without hesitation.

Vivian stood there in shock.

Adrian fixed his gaze on her face, frowning slightly. "I made it clear to you five years ago. If you still can't understand, I'll say it again today."

"I only see you as a benefactor, so don't waste your feelings on me. No matter how long you wait, it's futile, understand?"

Vivian's eyes grew redder as he spoke, and tears even started to stream down her face. She bit her lower lip.

"No, I don't understand. Everything was fine five years ago, and you promised that my place was by your side. So why did everything change when Eva left? Do you only like whoever leaves you?" Adrian frowned in displeasure and had no intention of entangling further.

"It's getting late, you should go back."

"No, I'm not going back!"

Adrian glanced at her coldly and said, "I'll call Jacob to take you back."

"No!"

Vivian rushed forward and hugged him directly. "Adrian, don't drive me away, please? I just like you, that's all..."

Suddenly, Vivian caught a faint scent of perfume on Adrian's body.
