Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 515 Just Teasing You

When he released his grip, Eva was momentarily stunned, taking a while to process what had happened.

Did he really do as he said? Was it over just like that?

The lingering warmth of his touch on her earlobe made it itch, and there was a similar itch in her heart, prompting an almost reflexive desire to touch her ear. Halfway through the motion, she restrained herself and pulled her hand back. No, she couldn't touch it.

If she did, Adrian would surely tease her again, that rascal.

So, Eva had to suppress the urge to touch her earlobe and just sat there, trying to calm herself.

"Why do you look so disappointed?" Adrian unexpectedly leaned in closer, whispering near her ear, "Is it because I didn't continue? Are you disappointed?" Eva: "No!"

After denying it, Eva stood up, clenching her teeth.

"You can sit here by yourself."

With that, she attempted to leave.

But Adrian grabbed her wrist, "Come on, don't be angry, I was just playing with you."

"Let go." Eva tried to pull her hand back.

Adrian, seemingly helpless, said, "Alright, I came over because you weren't eating your pastry."

Hearing this, Eva, who had been trying to break free from Adrian's grip, paused and turned to look at him.

"What did you say?"

"You weren't eating it, right? So, I ate it for you."

Once she heard this, Eva became a bit flustered. Did Adrian notice something? She instinctively retorted, "Who said I couldn't eat it?"

Adrian raised an eyebrow, "You can eat it, huh? By taking such small bites and eating so slowly?"

"I like to chew slowly, is that a problem?" Eva countered.

"Fine, let's just say I didn't want to eat it and just wanted the piece you were holding, is that okay?"

Adrian didn't argue with her. If there were things she wanted to hide and did not wish to disclose, he saw no need to press her for answers. Sure enough, after his acknowledgment, Eva fell silent, perhaps preoccupied with other thoughts, and she did not speak for a long time.

It was unclear how much time had passed before she finally looked up at Adrian.

"I just haven't had much of an appetite lately; I've been adjusting for some time now."

Adrian was somewhat surprised that she chose to share this with him, "Hmm, I know."

He could tell she was trying to adjust, and since the check-up results didn't show any major issues, he didn't inquire further about it.

Reflecting on this, Adrian's hand couldn't help but stroke the back of her head, "It's not a big deal, just take good care of yourself. You don't have to avoid me with your issues. If you tell me, I can help you anytime, right?" "You didn't want to tell me when you were injured, did you? So, you should understand how I feel."

"So, I'll tell you everything from now on, and you'll tell me everything you encounter. Deal?"

Eva thought for a moment and agreed to his proposition.

"Deal."

"Then, it's settled."

"By the way, was it really that obvious when I was eating earlier? Wouldn't Grandmother think I didn't like her pastries?"

"Don't worry, Grandmother will just think you're trying to diet again. She won't think anything else of it, especially since I ended up eating the leftovers, right?"

After hearing him say that, Eva finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Adrian's lips curled into a smile. "Next time you don't want to eat something, just stuff it into my mouth, okay?"

"Okay... I got it."

Eva wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but even though Adrian was helping her, she always felt like there was a flirtatious undertone in his voice.

She took her time inside the house to let the awkward feeling fade before she got up to look for someone.

After stepping out of the main hall, she found herself in a large courtyard.

The courtyard was home to large trees, a fruit orchard, and a vegetable garden. The kitchen was built next to the orchard. The two elderly people living there enjoyed their retirement, sometimes not wanting to go out in bad weather and instead picking fresh vegetables from the garden to cook with-green and eco-friendly.

When Eva went out, she happened to come across Lynn, who was squatting in the vegetable garden with her two little ones, harvesting vegetables.

Ruby was bending over, her little bottom in the air, working on a plant, while Dylan squatted beside her helping out. The two little ones were busy bustling around.

Watching this scene, Eva felt as if she were walking on clouds, an almost surreal feeling began to wash over her.

"Mommy!"

The two little ones saw her and called her over. Eva walked over and squatted down.

"How do you do this? Let me help."

Lynn glanced at her and then said with a smile, "No need. Just rest inside and have a little snack. Me and Margaret will handle this. When your grandfather comes back, he'll cook, and we can just wait to eat."

After speaking, Lynn didn't wait for Eva's reaction and pushed her out of the vegetable garden. Eva came out just in time to run into Margaret who was approaching.

She said with a smile, "You go inside and rest. We've got this covered."

Eva felt a bit awkward and was about to say something when she heard Margaret add, "Actually, your grandmother just wants more time alone with the children. She's very fond of these two little ones. She knows they won't be staying here long term, so she wants to make the most of this time with them."

Eva finally understood.

She thought for a moment and then smiled, "How about letting Ruby and Dylan come and stay here for a while during their summer and winter holidays?"

Margaret was just making conversation and didn't expect Eva to come up with this suggestion.

"I did mention this to her before, but your grandmother thought that since the children are yours, you might not want to part with them, and it wouldn't be right for us to ask directly. Now that you've brought it up, if you're willing, that would be wonderful."

"Of course."

The local customs here were simple and pure; it would be nice for the two kids to come and stay here during their winter and summer vacations. Plus, the air quality was good. "Alright, as long as you agree, I'll talk to your grandmother about it in a moment."

After Margaret left, Eva stood still.

Of course, she felt a bit reluctant to let go, as they were her children, after all. But her children couldn't always stay by her side; they needed to experience different things.

"If you can't bear it, you don't have to agree. I can be the bad guy," Adrian's voice unexpectedly sounded from behind her.

Eva was momentarily startled, then realized he must have overheard her conversation with her mother. She shook her head.

"It's fine. It's just for the winter and summer vacations, and it's not like they won't come back."

"You could come along when the time comes."

"I have a company to run."
