Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 278 Is Vivian not enough?
Adrian was tall and standing close to her, almost enveloping her with his cold breath.
Though cold, it was assertive.
Instinctively, Eva stepped back, trying to put some distance between them.
Unfortunately, luck was not on her side, and she stumbled as she shuffled backward, almost falling back.
Adrian raised his hand, catching her waist and pulling her towards him.
Eva landed against his body.
With a faint fragrance emanating from her, Adrian involuntarily breathed in her scent.
Feeling her soft body pressing against him, even her waist against his hand felt particularly soft, Adrian's thin lips slightly curled, teasingly raising an eyebrow.
"So nervous to see me?" Adrian asked softly.
After regaining her balance, Eva instinctively pushed away from Adrian, "Let go of me."
Despite her efforts, Adrian's grip tightened, and he remained unmoved, like a solid mountain.
The restaurant staff widened their eyes and took two steps back at the sight.
"Since we know each other, let's sit at the same table. There's no need to go through the trouble of going downstairs." Adrian said to the waiter, but his gaze remained fixed on Eva's face.
As he finished his words, Adrian wrapped his arm around her slender waist and led her to his table.
"Who said I want to sit with you? Let me go!" Eva's voice questioned.
Struggling and glaring at Adrian angrily, Eva demanded, "And why are you here? What do you want? Were you following me?"
"Following you?" Adrian smirked, his lips curling up. "Eva, why don't you ask the server here when we arrived?"
Hearing that, Eva paused. Seeing Adrian immediately made her instinctively feel like he was following her and trying to bother her. But she had completely forgotten that she was the one who had arrived later.
Jacob quickly stood up and greeted Eva. "What a coincidence, are you here to eat as well? It's already afternoon, how come you're coming so late for a meal? Since we've bumped into each other, it must be fate. Shall we sit together?" "No need." Eva firmly rejected without hesitation, "I won't dine with you."
"Even if I'm an investor in your company?" Adrian questioned.
Eva looked at Adrian, his arm still around her waist, and bit her lip. "Are you trying to threaten me?"
Adrian raised an eyebrow. "If that's what you think."
"Alright." Eva smiled. "Then withdraw your investment and see if I'm scared."
Hearing that, the smile on Adrian's lips gradually faded. "Do you think I'm afraid to withdraw my investment?"
"Well, considering you're not the one who made all the effort." Eva sneered.
Adrian pursed his lips, his gaze slowly growing cold.
Jacob, noticing this encounter was quickly going wrong, immediately said to the staff, "Please bring us a few dishes. The three of us will be sitting at the same table, hurry up."
The staff also picked up on the awkward situation from their conversation just now. The three of them seemed to know each other, but things seemed a bit uneasy.
However, as long as they knew each other, there shouldn't be any trouble. The staff nodded and went downstairs to prepare.
After the staff left, Eva coldly stared at Adrian. "Let go."
Adrian didn't move.
Jacob quickly approached and said, "Mr. Blackwood, Ms. Hansen, please calm down. Since we've encountered each other, let's have a meal together."
While saying that, Jacob tried to pry Adrian's hand away. Adrian frowned deeply, but when he heard Jacob quietly reminding him to let go, he eventually released his grip.
After being released, Eva immediately regained her freedom and took two steps back, keeping her distance from Adrian.
Adrian's gaze remained fixed on her.
"Ms. Hansen, how about sitting with us? Let's all be amicable." Jacob suggested.
Looking at the polite Jacob, Eva couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh to him, so she explained, "Unfortunately I can't. I have plans."
"And with whom?" Adrian asked.
"What's it to you?" Eva retorted.
"A man?" Adrian questioned.
"Is it any of your business?" Eva countered.
Although Adrian knew who she had plans with, he couldn't control his crazy jealousy at that moment. Jacob listened to their conversation beside them and couldn't help but be curious about what would happen between the two. Hopeless! What is Mr. Blackwood doing?
He was just talking peacefully earlier, but why does it turn like this when they meet?
Then again, considering Eva's resistance, and her wanting to leave without even saying a word, it would be difficult for him to maintain a peaceful mood if he were Mr. Blackwood.
Adrian sneered coldly, "Did you arrange to meet Michael?"
He was quite curious. If he, as NightA, hadn't forced her to come out, would she have gone out with Michael by now?
Eva had cancelled her plans to meet with Michael, but seeing Adrian's current expression, she coldly laughed and said, "Yes, I made plans to have dinner and go look at cars. If there's nothing else, I'll go now."
After saying this, Eva took out her phone, and began walking out while pretending to call Michael.
As she passed by Adrian, her wrist was quickly grabbed by him.
"Let go of me!" Eva struggled a few times.
"Aren't you going to look at cars? I'll accompany you." Adrian held her hand without permission and walked downstairs with her. Jacob stood there dumbfounded, and only asked when they were about to reach the bottom of the stairs, "Mr. Blackwood, aren't we having dinner?"
They didn't respond, already disappearing from his sight.
Jacob thought that he would have to eat the signature dishes on his own later.
But he couldn't finish them alone, so Jacob quickly called one of his friends in Chicago to come over and join him.
Adrian took Eva with him downstairs, even forcefully pushing her into his car, and then firmly holding her hands, he instructed the driver to drive.
Although the driver didn't know what had happened, he didn't dare to ask and immediately started driving.
As the car drove off, Eva was still struggling, "Let go of me! I really do have urgent matters to attend to here today."
She didn't expect to encounter Adrian here, how could it be such a coincidence? The address she chose ended up being where she ran into Adrian. Now she was being taken away, what would happen if NightA came looking for the money?
"Oh." Adrian asked expressionlessly, "What urgent matters?"
"It's none of your business." Of course, Eva couldn't tell him what she had to do, as it involved two children.
"None of my business?" Adrian laughed softly, "You won't tell me, right? Then let's just treat it as a trivial matter and go look at the car instead."
"Adrian!" Eva couldn't bear it any longer and angrily shouted his name, "We had no relationship five years ago, and the only reason I went to New York with you a few days ago was because of the deal between my grandmother and you. The deal is over, we have nothing between us. What gives you the right to bother me now, and even get involved in my affairs? Isn't Vivian enough for you?"
