Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy!
Chapter 345 Stubbornly Persistent

Eva, however, could only recall this tiny fragment. Whenever she tried to delve deeper in her thoughts, her head would become a bit fuzzy, and she couldn't remember anything else. She sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought for a long time, but the image remained the same.

Seeing that it was getting bright outside the window, Eva had no choice but to give up and get up. After she left the room, she coincidentally ran into the two little ones who had already dressed themselves and came out on their own. Good habits should be cultivated from a young age. Eva's rule for them was to pick out the clothes they needed to wear for the next morning before going to bed, and then they had to change into them as soon as they got up, without any delay or risk of catching a cold.

At first, the two struggled with this rule, but once they got used to it, they followed it smoothly. However, Eva still worried and walked up to inspect the clothes they were wearing.

The temperature in the country was very low now, and it was easy to catch a cold if they weren't dressed warmly enough. Children have weaker immune systems, so it would be troublesome if they got sick.

After a quick check, and ensuring that both the little ones were properly dressed for warmth, Eva finally relaxed.

"Mommy." Ruby suddenly tugged at Eva's finger. "Mommy, can we have grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast?"

Hearing this, Eva paused and then said, "Okay, I'll make them for you."

"No, I don't want mommy to make them." Ruby held onto her arm and softly said, "I want the kind they sell at the food trucks."

Eva was puzzled. "Why do you want to eat from a food stall? Is it because mine don't taste good?"

Puckering her lips, Ruby hadn't spoken yet when Dylan next to her said, "Mommy, she wants to eat junk food from outside and other food from the fried shrimp sandwich stall."

"Dylan!"

So that's it. Making grilled cheese sandwiches alone was quite simple, but it was a bit too late at this time. Normally, Eva wouldn't let the children eat these kinds of things, but under Ruby's gaze, Eva finally nodded. "Let's go." After getting everything ready, the three of them walked out the door.

As Eva stepped out of the elevator, she couldn't help but wonder if Adrian would come again today, especially after their clear conversation in the hospital yesterday. Lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard two children calling out to Uncle NightA.

Snapping back to reality, Eva saw Adrian striding towards her, reaching out to take the kids' backpacks directly from her hands. Eva instinctively tightened her grip on the backpack straps. Sensing resistance, Adrian's gaze faltered for a moment, but he effortlessly took the backpacks from her hands in the next instant.

Eva bit her lip and asked in a lowered voice, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to show you a design book." he replied.

"A design book?" It was still early, not even time for work yet. What kind of plans was he going to show her?

"Come in to the car and I'll explain." Adrian said.

With that, he held the backpacks and the two kids followed suit. Eva stood still, watching the scene unfold before her eyes. She didn't expect him to be so persistent. Then again, Adrian had always been persistent when it came to her. When they were little and had a disagreement, if she ignored him, he would intercept her on the way to school, blocking both sides of her escape in the small grove, frowning and glaring at her fiercely.

"Didn't you hear me call you this morning?" he had fumed. She didn't feel like responding. "So, Eva, you've learned to ignore me now, huh?"

Eva stubbornly retorted, "What's wrong with ignoring you? Who do you think you are? Are you some noble person? Just because you call me, I must agree to your demands?" Enraged, she pushed him away, but after just a few steps, he tightly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Where are you running off to? Let's talk it out."

If he couldn't intercept her at school, he would simply go directly to her house. And because of their childhood friendship, whenever the household staff saw him, they would naturally greet him with smiles and let him in, even if Eva consistently told the butler not to let him in.

The butler would just smilingly say, "Are you fighting again? It's normal for kids to quarrel. You'll make up later."

"I don't want to make up with him anymore. Butler, you must not let him in, or I'll be angry." Eva would argue.

"Open the door and let me in, otherwise she'll stay angry until the end of the month." Adrian would say. And every time, the butler, at the time, always listened to Adrian and opened the door without hesitation. Eva always suspected that Adrian had bribed the butler.

"Mommy?" The voice of the child snapped Eva back to reality. She realized that she had been standing still for quite some time, and the two children had already gotten in the car. Helpless, she walked over.

Once inside, Eva purposefully chose a seat far away from Adrian. He quietly withdrew his gaze. "You came downstairs this early, have you had breakfast?"

"Uncle NightA, Mommy is taking us to have deep-grilled cheese sandwiches."

Deep-grilled cheese sandwiches? Adrian subtly furrowed his brows and asked, "At a street stall?" "Yeah!"

Perhaps replaceing it hard to believe, Adrian turned his gaze towards Eva and said, "Eva, is that true?"

Eva nodded, "Yes, I promised the kids yesterday."

Eva cast a glance at him. She hadn't initially intended to pay him any attention, but upon seeing the peculiar look in his eyes, she couldn't help but speak up, "What's wrong? Embarrassed to eat grilled cheese sandwiches at the stand?" After her words, she even sized him up, "Your appearance indeed doesn't seem like that of someone who would eat grilled cheese sandwiches at a stand. Shall we get out of the car?"

"No." Adrian quickly placed his hand on her knee, a gesture that Eva, surprisingly, didn't replace inappropriate given their divorced status. "I will support you and the children in whatever you want to do, no matter what it is."

"Is that so?" Eva replied with a sarcastic smile. "You don't have to inconvenience yourself, Mr. NightA."

This title made Adrian furrow his brows and say, "Eva, don't call me by that name anymore."

"What's wrong? Weren't you the one who picked that name? And now you don't want me to call you by it?"

"You know my name."

"So what?"

Eva casually looked out the window.

Adrian pursed his lips and, in the end, decided not to say anything. He handed her a draft of his design.

"Take a look."

As they were cooperating, Eva reflexively assumed it was work-related when she saw the stack of papers and accepted it without hesitation.

At the same time, she couldn't help but think, he won't keep using work as an excuse to approach me, will he?

Will he have a new idea every day? How long can he keep it up?

When she opened it and saw the content on the paper, Eva was stunned in place. She was taken aback because she initially thought it was work-related, but it turned out to be architectural designs, precisely the ones he mentioned before he left last night.
