Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 335 Won't Compete With Me
"Back then, when the Hansen family was in trouble, I was grateful for your help, but haven't you forgotten the reason we got married? It was because my grandmother was in poor health."
Thinking of grandmother, Eva remembered that she couldn't even see her before she passed away. There was a slight ache in her heart, and she had to take a deep breath to ease it before continuing, "Anyway, we both got what we wanted, so it's not much different from a transaction."
"Is that so?" Adrian's gaze tightened. "If it's just a transaction, then why did you leave without taking a single penny? Why did you decide to have our children?"
"If we were divorced, what would I do with your money? You helped me settle the Hansen family's affairs, and I helped you take care of your grandmother. Why would I need your money? And as for why I decided to have the children, your question is even more ridiculous. I didn't force you to sleep with me. You wanted to. I got pregnant, and the children were in my belly. Of course, I have the right to decide whether to keep them or not." "But they carry my bloodline."
"So what? Is your bloodline so noble? Once I give birth, they become mine. If you're jealous that I have children, go replace someone else to have one with you."
The conversation drifted further away.
Adrian finally realized this problem wasn't being resolved like this.
He wanted to figure out what had happened back then and why Eva had such a big misunderstanding. But every time Eva mentioned the children, she seemed afraid that he would take them away.
No wonder. If the misunderstanding wasn't resolved, she wouldn't be at ease with herself, let alone believe that he hadn't considered taking the children but just wanted to raise them together with her.
For now, the best plan was to stabilize her as soon as possible and make her trust him. Only then would he have a chance to resolve the misunderstandings from the past.
Realizing this, Adrian suddenly took out her phone from his pocket and handed it to her.
Seeing her own phone, Eva immediately took it, but she didn't expect Adrian to suddenly say, "Turn on the recording function."
Confused, Eva tilted her head and looked at Adrian.
"What do you mean?"
"Record everything I'm going to say next."
Seeing Eva's lack of response, Adrian took the phone back from her hand, opened the recording function, and handed it back to her.
Eva then sat quietly watching him operate from the side, she didn't know what he was up to for a moment.
But now, in the middle of the night, with only the two of them in the hospital room, she couldn't stop whatever he wanted to do. She simply watched him quietly, waiting to see what he had in mind.
After a while, Eva saw Adrian look at her and say lightly, "Haven't you always been afraid that I would snatch the children away? Now we have it as a recording, I assure you, I will never take our children away from you." Upon hearing this, Eva paused. She didn't expect him to say that. Was he trying to prove something to himself?
"Are you still afraid now? Keep this recording, save it, and make a backup. If I ever try to take our children, you bring out this recording."
Upon hearing this, Eva couldn't help but scoff, "So what if we have a recording? You only said you wouldn't take the children, but you didn't mention what would happen if you actually did."
"What do you want me to do? You say it, and I'll do it."
"I say something, and you'll do it?"
Adrian nodded.
Eva smirked, "Alright then, if that's what you want."
"Yes."
"Then you say that you will never have any thoughts about my children, Dylan and Ruby. You won't even try to fight for custody. As long as I don't give up, these two children are mine and no one else's." Adrian nodded and calmly repeated her words into the recording phone.
Eva lay there listening as he slowly finished repeating her words. Then she added, "If one day you have any thoughts of fighting me for the children, be it through legal procedures or trying to take them away privately, I will have an obligation to take you to court. By then, all your assets will belong to me."
She didn't believe he could still say these things without any change. After all, words spoken now would hold consequences in the future. If he really wanted to take her children, it might come at a great cost. So, after Eva finished speaking, she didn't expect Adrian to repeat her words. She relaxed, adopting a casual demeanor, and seemed nonchalant.
But in the next moment, Adrian unexpectedly repeated her words without any expression on his face.
Eva looked at Adrian with a complicated gaze. She didn't expect him to actually repeat everything she had just said. What did he mean? Could it be that he really wouldn't fight her for the children? Was everything just her overthinking? As she pondered, it seemed like she had been too suspicious during this period of time. From the very beginning, he emphasized that they would take care of the children together, rather than him taking them from her.
"Now can you relax?" Seeing that her expression was no longer as guarded as before, Adrian finally breathed a sigh of relief. With these words, could they finally resolve the troubles between them peacefully?
Eva didn't say anything, but silently saved a backup of their conversation from earlier. If the need arose in the future, these recordings could serve as evidence.
Adrian noticed her actions and a smile gradually formed on his lips.
"Keep the recording safe, and make sure no one else gets their hands on it, or messes with it..."
"No need for you to say." Eva expressionlessly tucked her phone under her pillow.
"So now you trust me? Because you're sure I won't compete with you for the children?"
Looking at his expression, Eva knew he had something to say to her.
"Why do you ask so many questions? Just say what you want to say. It's late at night, and I don't have the energy to chat with you."
Adrian glanced at the time. It was indeed late, and she was injured. She should be resting at this time.
But the misunderstanding would only deepen if they postponed it any longer.
They had already misunderstood each other for so long.
Thinking of this, Adrian immediately said, "I truly didn't know about the text message. If I didn't reply to you, there's a high chance that I genuinely didn't see that message or I didn't receive it."
"The phone number is yours, and the network showed that it was sent successfully. Don't you think it's too far-fetched to say that you didn't receive it?"
As Eva spoke, her expression was calm, as if she was talking about something unrelated to herself.
Her attitude somewhat affected Adrian, making him slightly annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He could only continue, "What's so far-fetched about it? Maybe the network was good on your end, but it wasn't on mine. Or perhaps, at that time, the phone wasn't in my hands."
Hearing this, Eva subconsciously replied, "If the phone wasn't in your hands, then whose hands would it be in?"
