Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 342 I Don't Want Your Money
Hearing this, Eva fell silent. Adrian noticed her lack of response and looked at her, perhaps noticing something off in her expression. He explained, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not blaming you. I just think the kids are still young and should have more fun activities."
Eva couldn't help but say, "I understand what you mean, but what you're suggesting is simply not possible. Are you saying we should have entertainment places at home?" Unexpectedly, Adrian nodded. "Yes."
Eva had originally wanted to sarcastically remark that Adrian seemed to think that anyone could easily build such things. But when she remembered Adrian's wealth and the enormous fortune he had given her when she just returned to the country, she found herself unable to speak.
She was sure that if she agreed, he would immediately have someone arrange it.
"What do you think?" True to her expectations, Adrian asked when she didn't answer.
Feeling a bit impatient, Eva didn't want to discuss certain matters in front of the two children, so she turned to the nanny and said, "Could you please take them to see the schedule for tomorrow?"
The nanny, who had been standing there motionless, immediately understood and stepped forward. "Sure."
Afterward, the nanny took the two children away.
As soon as the children left, Eva immediately spoke up, "Didn't we agree at the hospital? You promised to leave me and the children alone."
"Yes," Adrian nodded. "I promised you that, but is there a contradiction with the suggestion I gave you?"
"No, I'm just not accepting your suggestion." Eva replied.
"Why?" Adrian asked.
"Why? Because I don't need it, and I don't have that much money to invest in such things, okay?"
By saying this, she actually meant to refuse, but she didn't know if Adrian genuinely didn't understand or was pretending not to. He actually said, "I have it. I can have it arranged, and you and the kids can move in." This statement furrowed Eva's eyebrows. "This is different from what we agreed on."
Adrian looked at her. "How is it different? I'm just providing you with a house." As he said this, Adrian seemed to be pondering something, pausing for a moment before finally saying, "You say you don't have that much money, so why did you still have the lawyer return all those assets?"
"Do you really need to ask that question? It's not my money." Eva replied with a frown.
"How is it not? Since it's divorce property, it belongs to you."
Eva's brows furrowed.
"I don't want your money."
Why would she even receive divorce assets when their marriage was a sham?
"Alright, if you don't want the money, then fine. I'll have the house renovated tomorrow."
Eva began to realize that while he may have said he would let her and the children go, he wasn't going to just do nothing.
And there would probably be many more situations like this in the future, which was headache-inducing just to think about.
Through gritted teeth, Eva said, "When I said let us go, I meant for you to not appear in front of me and the children anymore, let alone give us things like a house."
Adrian acted as if he didn't understand her words. "You don't want the house? Do you mean you don't like it?"
"Adrian!" Eva angrily called out his name. "What exactly do you want to do? Weren't my words at the hospital clear enough?"
How could they not be clear? They couldn't be any clearer. But even if they were clear, he couldn't just give up like that.
He had to replace a more indirect way to respond.. "It's just a form of compensation. Although you don't want to admit it, I am their father. I can provide them with a better environment to grow up in, and I won't compete with you for their affection.. I have even recorded audio as evidence, so why can't you trust me?"
"Furthermore, you may not want the things I give you, but have you asked the children if they don't want them either?"
Eva coldly declared, "They are my children, of course they listen to me."
Adrian remained undisturbed, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips as he softly said, "Tomorrow, I will have someone prepare the design plans. Once they are done, I'll show them to you as a reference. I'll only proceed with construction when you're satisfied. Today, just rest well, take care not to wet your wound, and try not to sleep on your stomach. IIt would be best if you took a few days off work to recover."
"Are you finished speaking?" Unfortunately, no matter how tender his words were, Eva's attitude towards him remained icy. "Thanks for the ride home, but if we're done here, please leave."
Faced with her cold indifference, Adrian remained unfazed and simply nodded calmly.
"Alright, I'll leave now."
Afterward, he didn't say anything more and quickly left.
As the door closed, the room grew quiet, giving Eva a strange sense of unreality. Perhaps it was because he used to pester her constantly, but now he had suddenly left so decisively, making Eva feel momentarily uncomfortable. There was silence for a while before the nanny pushed open the door and worriedly looked at her.
Thinking that the nanny was hired by Michael, Eva casually asked, "Have you been in contact with Michael?"
Both being experienced nannies for over ten years, they couldn't fail to grasp the meaning behind Eva's question. The nanny immediately responded, "Please rest assured, although Mr. Michael brought us here, we work for you, Ms. Hansen." "The employer is our true employer, and we have professional ethics. Unless there are special circumstances, we will not disclose any privacy of our employers."
"Thank you." Eva said, satisfied with her words. If every nanny had such high awareness, it would be great.
Seeing her satisfaction, the nanny also breathed a sigh of relief. Being a nanny for these wealthy individuals was a high-paying job, and she couldn't do anything that would harm others, especially since if there was a possibility for Mrs. and Mr. Michael to be together, they wouldn't have paid the rent for the house.
After leaving Eva's place, Adrian stood under a street lamp for a long time. He didn't say anything, so the driver didn't dare to approach and just parked the car on the side of the road, quietly waiting.
It was unknown how long it took for Adrian's gaze to shift towards him. The driver, who was always attentive to his movements, immediately drove the car to him and opened the door. "Mr. Blackwood." Adrian got into the car.
After the car started driving away, he called Jacob.
"Find a designer to help me design a house."
The driver, secretly listening to the conversation from behind, wondered. Design a house? Is he designing a house right after leaving Ms. Hansen's place, a house for Ms. Hansen and the children? He didn't need to think much because as soon as he heard Adrian talking about children's rooms and various recreational areas, the driver could be certain.
But when he heard further, the driver doubted whether he had misheard. A house with various entertainment facilities, and even a library, was he really building a house and not a mall? Could it be that Mr. Blackwood intends to open a mall in his own home?
