Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 260 It Doesn't Matter Anymore
Two hours later, the plane arrived in New York.
Although Eva was mentally prepared, when she got off the plane and saw the familiar airport, her hand hanging by her side trembled slightly.
Five years ago, she left here.
In the past five years, the airport hasn't changed much. Eva walked at the back, but her mood was heavy.
Perhaps because she was lost in her own thoughts, she didn't notice that the person in front of her stopped and turned to look at her because she was walking too slowly. But Eva didn't pay attention and bumped right into him.
Her forehead collided with his chest.
Eva stopped in her tracks and looked up, only to see Adrian's dark eyes.
He said coldly, "Can't you watch where you're going?"
Upon hearing this, Eva paused, rubbing her forehead and taking two steps back, frowning. "I was lost in thought just now."
"What were you thinking about that made you so absentminded?"
Eva stopped rubbing her forehead and her gaze became somewhat vacant. "I was thinking, would my grandmother blame me? If I visit her, would she... not welcome me?" Adrian was taken aback for a moment.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell you before that she really misses you?"
So what if she misses her? Even if she does, Eva hasn't been filial, she hasn't even seen her grandmother for the last time before she passed away. Eva thought that if she were her grandmother, she would definitely blame herself. But thinking about her grandmother's usually gentle temperament, she didn't think she would harbor such resentful emotions.
"Let's go."
After leaving the airport, it was almost six o'clock when they arrived at the hotel.
The sky was gray, as if it was about to rain.
When Eva was checking in, Adrian followed her inside.
"Aren't you going home?"
Adrian remained calm and said, "This place is close to the cemetery, I can be there in half an hour tomorrow morning."
Eva accepted this reason and didn't say anything more.
The two of them each booked two rooms, Jacob stayed with Adrian, and Eva stayed alone.
Their rooms happened to be across from each other.
After entering the room, Eva took off her shoes and threw herself onto the soft bed.
It started drizzling outside the window.
Eva lay on the bed listening to the sound of rain. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the rain in New York sounded different from Chicago and other foreign places.
The weather in New York always changed quickly. It could be sunny one second and then a torrential downpour the next. The rain was always sudden and fierce, with a different sound when it hit the ground.
After lying for a while, Eva felt a bit cold. She got up and closed the window. When the time was about right, she video called Lisa.
The call was answered quickly, but it wasn't Lisa on the other end, it was Ruby and Dylan.
The two of them appeared side by side in front of the phone camera.
"Mommy."
Eva glanced at the background of the two and realized that they were in the car at the moment.
It was after-school time.
"It's been a while, why are they still in the car?"
"Mommy, Aunt Lisa is taking us out for dinner."
As soon as the words were spoken, Lisa's voice came from the other side.
"Eva? I'm driving right now and can't answer the phone. I'm taking them out for dinner and then to the game arcade. We might be back a bit late."
Listening to this, Eva's lips curved into a smile.
"Thank you, Lisa."
"Why are you being so polite with me? Besides, I'm taking them out to play not because of you. It's simply because they're adorable. Do you remember two years ago when I took a photo with them and posted it on my social media? I received lots of likes."
Upon hearing this, Eva recalled that time. They were still abroad, all of them went out together, and they took a photo with Emily as well. Three people and two babies. When the photo was released, many people speculated whether the two children were Eva's or Emily's. Some even asked Lisa for Eva's contact information. It wasn't until later that they found out she was the mother of both children, and they stopped digging.
"Alright, I won't say much more. I'm driving right now and we're almost there. Take care of your own matters, you can trust Ruby and Dylan with me, I'll take good care of them."
"Okay." After that, Eva had some more words with the two little ones before hanging up the phone.
Just as she hung up, there was a knock on the door.
Eva got up to open it.
Standing outside the hotel room's door was Jacob, and upon seeing her, he immediately smiled.
"Ms. Hansen, where shall we dine tonight?"
Dine? Only then did Eva feel the hunger, yet she was also tired at the moment. Recently, she would wake up early to cook for Adrian, so her sleep time had been reduced every day. Today, she rushed to catch a flight, so she was quite exhausted.
"I don't really want to go out. How about we eat something casual in the room?"
"But..." Jacob hesitated in his expression.
His hesitant expression caught Eva's attention.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I can eat something casual, but Mr. Blackwood..."
Upon hearing this, Eva understood why he was beating around the bush.
Thinking about visiting her grandmother at the cemetery tomorrow, Eva said, "Then I'll put on a jacket and we can go out to eat."
"Alright, let me go inform Mr. Blackwood."
"Okay." Eva went back to her room, put on a jacket, and went out.
As soon as she stepped outside, she happened to see Adrian coming out with Jacob's urging.
Eva only glanced at Adrian's face and then continued walking ahead. "Let's go."
Adrian quickly caught up with her.
Once they were downstairs, Jacob asked, "Ms. Hansen, what would you like to eat?"
"Let me check." Eva stood still and took out her phone to look up nearby restaurants. The two men followed her silently.
Stand up.
A few minutes later, Eva put away her phone.
"There's a Mexican restaurant a five-minute walk away."
"Okay, huh?" Jacob replied, only realizing something was off. "Mexican food?"
Isn't it usually spicy? If it were any other time, it would be fine. Although Mr. Blackwood doesn't like spicy food, he could still eat a little when his stomach is fine.
But now that he's still unwell, going to a Mexican restaurant?
Who knows, Eva glanced at him and asked calmly, "Is there a problem?"
Jacob instinctively looked at Adrian and saw that he had no expression on his face, not even displeased by Eva's choice of place.
He could only swallow his dissatisfaction.
"No problem."
What problem could there be? As long as Mr. Blackwood is fine, it's fine, right? If both of them think it's fine, what else can he say?
One doesn't care about his own health, and the other doesn't care about the other's health.
Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore, he doesn't want to bother anymore.
"Well, since there's no problem, let's go."
