Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 377 Waking up
Although Michael said there was no need to prepare anything, Eva still opened the refrigerator and quickly gathered all the ingredients she could replace. She also collected the items the children would need. When she was halfway through preparing, Michael came over and saw her packing what they needed. He immediately said, "No need to bring so much. We can buy things over there when we get there." "If we're going for a picnic, it's not convenient to buy things. It's better to bring our own, and we already have things at home. Bringing more back will just take up space."
Eva stuffed everything into the bag all at once.
Michael watched by the side and couldn't help but tease, "Then why not bring your own cosmetics and personal items? You can touch up your makeup if needed during the trip."
"No need for that. We're going for a picnic, not a trip."
She was natural. Ever since having children, she rarely wore makeup in situations involving them, as the two little ones would always give her face kisses.
She was afraid that her makeup would be smudged if the two little ones kissed her, so she tried to avoid wearing it as much as possible.
That's why they say being a mother is difficult, isn't it?
Michael didn't say anything more and quietly helped her pack up.
The two little ones hadn't seen Michael for a long time, so they were particularly excited when they saw him. During breakfast, Ruby even climbed onto Michael's lap and said while drinking milk, "Uncle Michael, you haven't come to see me for a long time. Do you not like me anymore?"
Michael's palm gently patted the back of her head.
"I'm here now, right? In the future, I'll see you and Dylan regularly."
"Really? Uncle Michael, don't lie to me."
"Of course not."
"No."
Eva couldn't help but laugh and say, "You two are so childish."
After having a casual breakfast, Eva went back to the kitchen to continue her chores. In the meantime, Michael went once more and told her to stop preparing, but Eva insisted, "I've already started, just wait for me to finish." Michael leaned against the door and glanced at his wristwatch, a hint of impatience flickering in his eyes. However, it quickly disappeared after a moment. They still had enough time; he didn't need to be in such a rush. When Eva finished packing everything into bags and they were ready to go, she decided to send Adrian a message, letting him know they were going out for a picnic. If he wanted to replace her, he could come in the evening. She had already prepared the message content, but when she thought about sending it, she felt she might come across as being too eager. He hadn't shown enough sincerity to her yet, so why should she be so proactive? After giving it some thought, Eva deleted the entire message and followed Michael and the children out.
Michael carried all their things in his hands, and when they reached the bottom of the stairs, David was waiting by the car. Upon seeing them, he smiled genuinely and said, "Ms. Hansen, it's been a while. I thought you didn't want to come out today."
David opened the car door for them, and before Eva got in, she asked, "Why did Michael change the car?"
Hearing this, David's eyes seemed to dodge a bit, "The previous car had some mechanical issues recently, so we got a new one. Get in quickly, Ms. Hansen, or we'll be late." "Okay." After getting in the car, Ruby and Dylan both squeezed in next to her.
It didn't take long before Michael also got in.
Before the car started moving, Eva glanced outside and saw David standing a distance away, talking on the phone with a serious expression.
Unable to resist her curiosity, she asked, "Is there something important he needs to take care of? David seems very serious."
"It's nothing. We can leave as soon as he's done with the call."
As soon as Michael finished speaking, David hung up the phone and got into the car. Eva didn't say anything more.
When the car had been on the road for less than ten minutes, the two little ones next to her couldn't sit still. They were rubbing their eyes, looking drowsy. "Mummy, I am so sleepy..."
Eva lowered her gaze and pinched Ruby's smooth little cheek. "Lazy pig, didn't you just wake up? How are you already sleepy?"
Ruby shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. Eva couldn't help but melt as she watched her. She patted her own thigh and said, "Then go to sleep." "Thank you, Mommy."
At that moment, Michael reached out and carried Ruby over to his side. "These two little ones get sleepy as soon as they get in the car. Dylan might fall asleep too later. I'll hold Ruby." Eva glanced at Dylan, who looked drowsy, and thought it made sense. She nodded. "Alright."
And as soon as Ruby was in Michael's arms, she quickly fell asleep, feeling peaceful and secure.
A few minutes went by, and she even started snoring softly.
Seeing her like this, Eva couldn't help but think to herself: What a carefree little person.
Being pinpointed by Michael, within a few minutes, Dylan also declared himself tired and fell asleep on Eva's lap. Eva felt that these two little ones were rather strange today.
"It is strange. Did these two little ones not sleep well last night? Why are they all so sleepy today?"
"Children doze off during car rides, it's normal," Michael replied gently.
"But Ruby and Dylan usually take a while before they get sleepy in the car. Today, they got tired very quickly."
She felt a bit uneasy, but she didn't dwell on it. She could only guess that they must not have slept well last night, which made them so exhausted today.
Most likely they had woken up secretly after she left their room and didn't sleep properly.
"Is sleeping not good?" Michael reached out to comb Ruby's hair, pulling out a blanket from the back to cover her. "Just sleep on the ride, and when you wake up, we'll be there." "Well, maybe you're right."
David handed a blanket to Eva from behind.
"Ms. Hansen, you should cover yourself too. It gets quite chilly sitting here for a long time."
Since Dylan was asleep in her arms, Eva didn't refuse and quickly accepted the blanket for herself and Dylan.
The car continued to move forward, and Eva looked at the scenery outside the window. Unable to resist, she let out a yawn. She didn't know if it was because of the children's influence, but she felt her eyelids getting heavy. But she still stayed awake, forcing herself to ask, "Where are we going for the picnic?"
No response.
Eva turned her head to look at Michael and found him holding Ruby, leaning against the seat with his eyes closed, resting.
Even he fell asleep too?
Then he probably didn't hear what she just said, otherwise he wouldn't have ignored her.
Should she also take a nap?
Eva leaned back in her seat, without even having time to think about anything else, and fell into a deep sleep.
Unaware of what transpired after she fell asleep, Eva didn't notice that Michael, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened them.
In his pitch-black pupils, there was no trace of fatigue, only alertness.
"David."
His voice was cold, and David immediately reached over to take Ruby from his arms.
Michael held Dylan in his own arms, quietly watching Eva as she fell into a deep sleep. His fingertip slowly moved up, finally resting on her cheek.
