Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy!
Chapter 420 He Slept in Mommy's Bed

Seeing that he finally came to his senses, Eva breathed a sigh of relief.

She got up and poured herself a glass of water to drink. When she turned around, she noticed Adrian's forehead was covered with a lot of cold sweat. "You're sweating a lot; is your injury okay?" While asking, Eva reached out to touch his forehead, "Do you have a fever?"

The temperature of his skin felt somewhat higher, but it didn't seem like a fever.

"No fever." Adrian said calmly, looking at her. "As for my temperature, consider what just happened between us."

After those words, Eva instantly understood his implication and withdrew her hand.

Now she knew why his temperature was high, yet it was not a fever. But he was shameless to state it so blatantly.

"Time to sleep," Adrian said, indicating her previous spot on the couch.

But the recent incident had Eva feeling hesitant. If she were to lie down again, what if Adrian...?

"It won't be like last time, I promise."

"Your promises mean nothing." Eva retorted. "You said earlier that you couldn't do anything to me in your current state."

"Well, that was before, and I never promised then, did I?"

That seemed to make sense, didn't it?

She hesitated for a mere two seconds before finally crawling over and lying down in her previous spot. As soon as she did, Adrian's hand reached out.

Eva's expression changed, thinking he had other intentions, but then she saw he was just pulling the blanket over her.

His actions were awkward, revealing the pain he was in from his injuries. Eva's brows furrowed as she reached out to tug the blanket in place, and then she told Adrian, "Alright, you lie down and rest, stop worrying about me." Having said that, she shifted the blanket slightly, making room for Adrian.

The gesture drew a soft chuckle from Adrian who, moments later, lay down beside her.

To make space for him, Eva lay on her side, her back pressed against the couch to give Adrian more room.

Only when he lay down did Eva realize the unpleasant reality.

The space was so tight that not only was her back against the couch, but her front was pressed against him.

She could tolerate most contact but certain areas were embarrassingly close, and she tried her best to scoot back. After a short while, Adrian lifted his arm and drew her into his embrace.

"Your injury..."

"It's on the other side." came Adrian's deep reply. "I'm using this arm to hold you, it doesn't affect me."

Eva looked up and saw that it was indeed the other side that was injured, which calmed her worries.

"But holding me like this for a long time will make your arm sore."

"It'll just be sore, not broken."

"That's what you think." Eva countered. "If the blood doesn't circulate properly for too long, it could cause permanent damage."

Eva wasn't sure if her words sank in as she just heard a low chuckle from Adrian, who then commented, "If I really did become disabled, would you look at me a little more?"

She knew he was mostly joking, but Eva didn't replace it amusing. It felt inauspicious.

She retorted unhappily, "No, if you became disabled, then I wouldn't want you."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Alright, since that's how it is, I'll make sure not to become disabled."

"You better not."

It had been over five years, and the two of them rarely lay together in such serene silence as they did now, chatting about what might seem like 'nonsense'.

Although their conversation lacked substance, Eva's heart felt at peace, a kind of tranquility she hadn't experienced before.

With just a tilt of her head, she could see his perfect jawline, and his scent enveloped her with every breath, giving her a sense of calm.

After changing clothes, he no longer carried the unpleasant smell of blood; his familiar scent comforted her.

Thinking this, Eva's restless hands gradually reached out, and she closed her eyes, resting against his chest.

"I'm tired." she whispered.

"Then sleep." he responded.

"Mmm, wake me if you feel uncomfortable."

"Okay."

Gradually, Adrian heard the breathing from the woman in his arms even out into a deep, rhythmic pattern.

She had fallen asleep.

Adrian adjusted the blanket around her to prevent her from catching a cold if she uncovered herself in her sleep, accidentally touching his wound in the process and almost gasping from the pain. He didn't want to wake Eva, so he endured the pain silently.

Looking down at his own injury, he sighed internally.

An injury like this would have been tough for him, but with Eva by his side, nestled in his arms, the pain seemed like less of a burden and more of a blessing.

With this thought, the corners of Adrian's lips curved into a pleasing smile.

The next morning, when Dylan woke up, he turned to see Ruby sleeping in disarray. He went forward to tuck her in properly.

He had wanted her to sleep in a bit longer, considering the fright she'd had the day before.

But as soon as he covered her up, Ruby awoke, blinking her sleepy eyes at him.

"Dylan?"

Seeing she was awake, Dylan helped her sit up. Still half-asleep, Ruby sat rubbing her eyes. "Why are you up so early?"

Then, she looked around and noticing Eva wasn't there, she asked, "Where's Mommy?"

Dylan had also noticed Eva's absence upon waking up. He had intended to cover Ruby with the blanket and then go out to check, but Ruby woke up before he could leave.

"I don't know. Mommy wasn't here when I woke up."

Hearing this, Ruby's eyes widened, "Did mommy not sleep with us last night?"

Dylan shrugged his shoulders, indicating he didn't know.

"Ah, then Dylan... let's go replace Mommy." Ruby said, clenching her little fists.

"Mm." Dylan nodded.

The two little ones then got out of bed, dressed themselves, put on their shoes, and walked outside.

As they opened the bedroom door, the sunlight streamed in, causing them both to squint instinctively.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw two figures lying on the sofa across the room.

The figures had embraced and fell asleep together. Startlingly, they were Eva and Adrian.

Upon first sight, Ruby couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, her eyes wide, before whispering to Dylan, "Dylan, look quickly, Uncle NightA and Mommy are sleeping together!"
