Eva was about to scold him, but when he voluntarily offered to bring the two kids over, her anger dissipated in an instant.

After Adrian left, she went back to her room to tidy up her dress.

About fifteen minutes later, Adrian returned with the two little ones.

As soon as they saw Eva, they pounced on her, showering her with kisses, hugs, and cuddles.

"Mommy."

They clung to Eva as if they hadn't seen her in a long time, which was frighteningly affectionate.

Eva had missed them since yesterday and had been longing for them all night. Now that she was holding them, she felt immensely satisfied.

After closely embracing Ruby and Dylan for some time, she remembered something and looked up at Adrian to ask, "Where are our grandparents?" Adrian squatted down in front of her and reached out to stroke the children's heads.

"They've already gone out."

Eva nodded in understanding.

After a moment of silence, Adrian suddenly said, "The little ones wanted to follow them to the flea market; they were curious."

Eva paused and looked towards Ruby and Dylan when she heard this.

"Do you really want to go?"

Upon hearing this, Ruby and Dylan nodded together, but then shook their heads and wrapped their arms around her, saying, "If Mommy isn't going, we won't go either." "Yes, we want to stay with Mommy."

These warm words once again filled Eva's ears, and she curled her lips into a beautiful smile, contented with the children's firm choice to stay with her.

"That's a promise, then. You'll stay with Mommy."

Since they had nothing to do at home, Adrian suggested going out for a walk.

Eva was initially inclined to agree, but then she remembered that Adrian's injuries still required rest. She didn't know what the future held, but at least for the next few days, it was crucial for him to either lie in bed or sit and recuperate. Those were critical days before, but at that time, he didn't care about himself. Now that she was awake and knew about it, she couldn't let him continue to be reckless.

So, she quickly refused Adrian's suggestion.

"Let's not go out; you need to rest."

Hearing this, Adrian raised an eyebrow.

"I rested quite well last night, after all, it was you who bandaged me, and I'm healing quickly."

When he said this, he deliberately avoided certain words that the children might not understand.

Eva pursed her lips, "Even so, you still need to rest."

"Going out for a walk won't hurt."

"That's not okay either."

The two little ones listened to their parents' almost divine dialogue in confusion. Ruby looked up and said, "Mommy, Daddy, what are you talking about?"

Eva immediately lowered her head with a smile and then said, "Adult matters; it's best for children not to interfere."

Meanwhile, Adrian, hearing the little ones call Eva "mommy" and himself "daddy," felt his heart thump violently twice.

Because Eva had not agreed to let the two kids change how they addressed him, Adrian could be said to be on a 'trial period.'

Unexpectedly, due to her amnesia, their relationship had taken a significant step forward.

Adrian pursed his lips, suddenly wondering if she would regret the events of this period once her memory returned.

Would she still allow the kids to call him as they do now?

Of course, these were thoughts Adrian only went through in his mind and did not voice out loud.

Ruby pouted dissatisfiedly upon hearing Eva's words.

On the other hand, Dylan, by her side, didn't show much of a reaction. When Eva exchanged glances with him, she noticed that this little guy's eyes were so much like Adrian's, and his emotions were very restrained. Just like now, with Ruby asking earnestly, he was calmly looking back at her.

The feeling she got... How should she put it?

It was as if he understood the conversation between her and Adrian.

And she actually felt that even if her son really thought that way, it wouldn't be absurd. Her children were all very smart; it was just that Ruby didn't focus her thoughts on this aspect.

Eva disagreed with going out, and after thinking it over, Adrian didn't say anything more. After all, he had disagreed with her going to the flea market in the morning, and she had eventually agreed. So, they would stay at home and heal.

They had a TV at home and some toys that the elders had bought for the kids in the past few days. Eva didn't want them to watch TV, so in the end, she could only join them in playing with Legos. Adrian was ordered to sit on the sofa and rest.

Sitting there, he watched the three figures in front of him, his smile lingering on his lips as a gentle warmth filled his eyes.

His phone vibrated. Adrian took it out and glanced at it, and subconsciously looked towards Eva.

He had just intended to glance at her, but at that moment, Eva also suddenly looked up at him.

Their gazes met in mid-air.

Clearly, in the quiet living room, she had also heard the vibration of his phone.

After about two or three rings, Adrian stood up.

"I'm going to take a call," he said.

Eva nodded.

She had no reason to let him take the call here, especially since Ruby and Dylan were still around.

Thinking of this, Eva lowered her gaze.

After returning to her country, she lost contact with the other side. She didn't know how Michael was doing now, or David, or Jane...

Although Michael had done something wrong, she seemed... to not want anything bad to happen to him.

With that thought, Eva sighed helplessly.

"Mommy, don't be sad," Ruby suddenly hugged Eva.

Eva paused, coming back to her senses.

"What's wrong, Ruby?"

Ruby reached out to wipe the sparkling tear from the corner of her eye.

Eva, realizing her own tears only when she saw the glistening on her daughter's fingertips, was stunned for a moment, taking a while to come back to herself. "Mommy?"

Once the children sensed her mood, they stopped assembling the Lego and looked at her.

Eva was stunned for a good while before she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "It's okay; Mommy just thought of something sad. Go on and play, and don't tell Daddy about what just happened, okay?"

If they did tell him, he would probably get jealous again.

Some things were just hard to manage perfectly.

Ruby and Dylan could only nod and agree to their mother's request. When they continued playing with their Legos, their mood was no longer as uplifted as before, clearly affected by Eva's tears.

None of the three of them noticed that Adrian, who was about to go out to take the call, thought of something and turned back, inadvertently witnessing this scene.

Adrian had already silenced his phone, and the vibration had stopped.

Adrian stood there for a while, watching Eva intently until the call notification popped up on the screen again, and then he turned and left to take the call.
