Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 562 Playing Along with Mischief

Emily even opened WhatsApp, intending to show their chat history to her good friend. She never had anything to hide from her. Seeing that she was about to show her, Eva naturally leaned in closer. That was when she let out a "hmm," "You didn't reply to his latest message."

Emily hadn't noticed until Eva mentioned it, and then she realized, turning her phone back to herself, that in their chat box, aside from her own message thanking him for his concern, there was more content from Nathan. "Be safe, and let me know once you get to the hotel."

She hadn't replied for a long time since then. At that time, she had already picked up her luggage and was in a hurry to replace Eva. She then had late-night snacks with Eva and her husband, bathed, and only now...

"It seems that asking about work was just an excuse. He mostly just wanted to make sure you're safe, right?"

Hearing this, Emily couldn't help but look up at Eva.

"But why does he need to make sure I'm safe?" She found it strange.

"Hmm," Eva thought seriously for a moment. "You've been working under him for many years, and you're always working together. It's normal for him to express concern when a long-time employee resigns, especially late at night. If he didn't show any concern, it would mean he's too cold-hearted."

Emily felt Eva's explanation made sense, and the nervousness that had risen in her heart dissipated.

She stretched her hand to rub her face.

"You're right. Then he probably won't bother me anymore."

They didn't dwell on the topic for long and soon moved on. Eva talked with her for a long time, and after a while, she couldn't help but want to ask about what had happened between Adrian and herself.

But just as she was about to speak, she saw that Emily had succumbed to fatigue and fallen asleep.

"Emily?"

Eva called out to her, but the only response she got was the light sound of Emily's breathing.

Well, it seemed she really was tired after traveling all day.

Eva didn't make any more noise to disturb her; instead, she pulled the blanket up a bit higher to prevent her from catching a cold at night.

Then she turned off the bedside lamp and quickly fell asleep herself.

That night, everyone went to bed late.

But Eva's biological clock still woke her up early.

When she woke up, Emily was still sleeping next to her and almost fell off the bed.

Eva's eyes were sore; she could barely open them. She lay on the bed, struggling for a few seconds before deciding to sleep a little longer. This sleep lasted until noon.

In her sleep, she felt something fluffy rubbing against her face. At first, she didn't feel much.

Gradually, she started to feel a bit itchy on her cheeks.

Eva was sleeping soundly and subconsciously brushed it away.

"Mommy, time to get up."

After being waved away by her hand, a soft and cute voice spoke up.

Upon hearing the voice, Eva thought she had heard wrong.

"Mommy?"

"Mommy, time to get up."

After a while, Eva recognized that it was her daughter's voice.

Sure enough, when she opened her eyes, she saw Ruby's cute little face lying next to her, propped up on her little hands and looking at her with bright, sparkling eyes. Now that Eva was awake, those spirited eyes curved into crescents.

"Mommy, you're finally awake."

"Ruby?"

She called out and then instinctively pulled Ruby into her arms, her voice still lazy, "How did you get here? What time is it now?"

After saying that, she yawned.

"Mommy, it's already twelve o'clock."

"Twelve..."

Eva, who was still feeling sleepy, suddenly opened her eyes wide and then sat up.

She instinctively looked to the side and found that Emily's sleeping spot was empty.

"Emily?"

"Mommy, are you looking for Aunt Emily?"

"Yes, do you know where she went?"

Eva asked as she got out of bed and lifted the covers.

"Aunt Emily got up early this morning. She went downstairs earlier and seemed to be chatting with Grandma."

"She got up so early..." Hearing this, Eva's brows instinctively furrowed.

She hadn't even noticed Emily getting up?

Eva felt displeased with herself and couldn't help but purse her lips. She got dressed and said, "Then I'll go downstairs and have a look."

Seeing her about to leave, Ruby quickly clung to her legs, "Mommy, carry me."

Eva bent down and picked her up.

She intended to go straight downstairs to replace Emily, but as soon as she stepped out the door, she ran into Adrian.

Adrian, seeing Ruby hanging on the slender Eva, reached out his hands.

"Ruby, Daddy will carry you."

Ruby was initially clinging to Mommy's embrace, but upon seeing her daddy reaching out to her, she couldn't bear to refuse and went into his arms. Now that Ruby was being held by Adrian, Eva felt relieved and said to him, "Take care of her for a moment, I'm going to check downstairs."

She didn't expect to be caught by his hand as she walked past Adrian, "Looking for your friend?"

"Yes, Ruby said she got up very early."

"She's gone."

Hearing this, Eva paused, "Gone?"

Then her eyebrows knitted together.

"Why did she leave so soon? She didn't even tell me."

After seeing her look so aggrieved, Adrian couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"She did want to tell you, but you were sleeping too soundly."

Adrian's response left Eva speechless for a moment, and she instinctively argued, "It's not that I was too sleepy, it's that you all got up too early." Everyone went to bed so late last night. According to their biological clocks, they should have only slept for two or three hours.

She did wake up early, but her body felt very sore, and she couldn't move. She only wanted to sleep more.

This was completely different from before.

She felt comfortable only after getting enough sleep.

Adrian chuckled softly, "Yes, we got up too early. What about you, the little sleepyhead who got up late?"

Eva was speechless.

Before she could retort, Eva heard Ruby in Adrian's arms chiming in, "Oh yeah, Mommy is a sleepyhead who got up late."

Initially wanting to scold Adrian, Eva had to swallow her thoughts and could only pinch Ruby's cheek.

"You little rascal, your daddy is being naughty, and you're joining in?"

Ruby still cooed even after being pinched, "Sleepyhead Mommy!"

Eva looked at Adrian speechlessly.

"Don't say that again. It's not good for a child to learn such things."

Adrian laughed, "What's wrong with that? Don't you think it's cute to say?"

"Where's the cuteness? Let's see if you replace it cute if I call you that?"
