Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 413 No Word Yet

Eva, standing to one side, raised her eyebrows with a hint of amusement.

When she doesn't think about it, she doesn't care at all, but when she does, her thoughts leap wildly.

She arched an eyebrow, then said, "It's hard to say, maybe he does like you?"

"Impossible!" Emily shook her head immediately in denial. "How could a miser like him actually like me? No, no, I misspoke. I mean Mr. Powell. We agreed not to give him nicknames. He would be out of his mind to like me?" "Then why do you think he wouldn't like you?"

"It's simple. I'm just an ordinary employee. And he's surrounded by beautiful women who boast looks, figures, and status. It would be madness for him to like me."

Eva was slightly upset upon hearing her friend belittle herself, and she retorted with a bit of dissatisfaction, "You aren't half bad yourself."

"I know, I know." Emily hugged her, smiling warmly. "Of course, I know I'm not bad, but compared to those rich and beautiful women, I fall far short. With so many of them around Mr. Powell, how could he possibly like me? If he came with me, it's either because he wants to exploit me, or it's out of his sense of morals."

But Eva disagreed, shaking her head. "Sometimes, feelings are not just about the other person's attributes. I tend to value long-term companionship or the impact of a specific moment, the people and events you encounter, feelings can be sparked in an instant."

Emily considered this and found it quite reasonable.

"Mm, you have a point, but I still think it's impossible. You really don't know how many women are around him, no, actually you should know. Adrian also has so many women constantly flocking to him."

Eva decided not to argue anymore. Whether he liked her or not, it wasn't for her to say.

If Nathan really liked Emily, his willingness to accompany her here meant that he would likely seize future opportunities on his own.

There was no need for others to interfere or worry about them. Perhaps Eva's nudging might even take away some of the fun from their relationship.

With that thought, Eva smiled and played along, "Mm, you're right. Just take as it comes then."

Seeing that she didn't bring it up again, Emily lost interest in the topic and started asking about other things.

"Right, wasn't it Adrian who saved you? Where is he now? After so long without seeing each other, how can he stand not coming to replace you?"

Throughout their conversation, Eva had already been distracted with thoughts of this. Now, as Emily brought it up again, Eva's emotions were stirred. "He didn't come back with us."

"What?" Emily was surprised, "He didn't come back with you? Then, what did he go off to do?"

Eva lowered her eyes. "He had just found me when Michael's men showed up."

Hearing this, Emily understood everything. If they had encountered Michael's people, that meant Adrian stayed behind to deal with them, sending Eva back to safety.

As for what happened after that with them, it was completely unpredictable from their side.

"How long have you been back? Has he not sent any messages at all?"

Eva shook her head. "No."

"Then," Emily looked at Eva, suddenly biting her lower lip and reaching out to embrace her, "I'm sorry, I didn't know things were like this. If I had, I wouldn't have come and just started to talk so much." "It's not your fault."

But Emily still felt very upset, "I feel like if he doesn't send a message all day today, you won't be able to sleep. So, I won't sleep tonight either. I'll stay here with you, waiting for news. Once Adrian is back and you're at ease, then I'll go." "There's no need, Emily." Eva shook her head, "I'm fine being here on my own. You've been running around all day, you should go back and rest."

"Shut up, you're not sending me away anymore. I'm your friend, aren't I? After such a long time not seeing each other, am I not allowed to stay over and keep you company? Or am I someone you don't want to be around?" "Of course not, then stay if you'd like to." Eva said, smiling as she held her hand.

In the end, Emily stayed with her, waiting together, because neither could sleep. Emily had food and some wine brought in, and they drank in a room near the balcony.

"It's been such a long time since we sat together and had a drink. Though you stopped drinking after getting married, today is special. To celebrate your safe return, how about we toast just this once?"

Eva didn't want to drink, but she didn't want to dampen Emily's spirits, especially since she had traveled internationally to rescue her. She raised her glass to meet Emily's.

"Alright, I'll join you for just this one toast." she agreed.

After they downed their glasses, Emily started munching on the snacks laid out on the table.

"Have some too. You must not have had much to eat since you were taken. I was the same, barely touched my dinner, just a few bites before I had to run out. I'm actually quite hungry now." Emily said while swallowing, noticing that Eva had not eaten. She picked up a pastry and placed it into Eva's bowl, urging her, "Just keep me company and have a little."

"Emily, I'm not hungry."

"I know, but you have to eat. Without food, you won't have the strength to keep going." Emily insisted, and with her persistent urging, Eva finally ate something.

They stayed together until late, both exhausted, leaning back against the couch.

Emily suddenly stood up. "Eva, you rest here for a bit. I'll go check if Mr. Powell has returned."

Since she had arrived to check on Eva, she had been contemplating when to look for him. It hadn't even been an hour and she couldn't wait any longer.

"Alright, go on and sort out your things. But don't worry about coming back later if it's too late, just head to bed." Eva said.

Emily thought about it and eventually nodded, then left Eva alone on the couch, waiting.

Time passed, so much so that Eva almost dozed off on the couch when she finally heard footsteps outside.

Half-asleep, she wondered if she was hearing things. Her head felt heavy, and she didn't bother to get up to check. She just leaned there, listening to the footsteps stop at her door, followed by the sound of the doorknob turning. The noise cut through the silent night, jolting Eva fully awake.

She sat up abruptly, her gaze fixed alertly towards the door.
