Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 568 Like That Color?
Sure enough, after hearing what Margaret said, Ruby obediently nodded.
"Okay then, Ruby won't go."
Margaret quickly waved at Adrian and Eva, reassuring them, "Go on now, we'll take good care of Ruby and Dylan. Don't worry about a thing."
Once Adrian and Eva had departed, Ruby lifted her little head to gaze at Margaret.
"Granny, when Ruby grows up, I can use makeup too, right?"
Margaret tenderly nudged her granddaughter's nose and spoke in a gentle voice, "Absolutely, my dear. When you're older, you can dress up any way you like." Encouraged by Margaret's promise, Ruby's imagination took flight. "Then, can you buy lots and lots of makeup for me?"
It was a dream almost every young girl harbored, to one day indulge in a trove of cosmetic treasures.
"Of course, my darling. Granny will buy you all the makeup you want. Will that make our Ruby happy?"
Ruby's kiss was her sweet reply.
Adrian and Eva were a strikingly attractive couple, and as they walked together, they couldn't help but draw the eyes of onlookers. Some even went so far as to whip out their phones to capture a photo of the pair. Eva sensed the attention and leaned in to whisper to Adrian, "I think someone's taking pictures of us."
Following her gaze, Adrian spotted a girl angling her phone in their direction.
Busted, the girl sheepishly redirected her phone.
With just a glance, Adrian dismissed the incident, but when the girl saw their lack of objection, she daringly pointed the lens back at them.
Once Adrian's eyes retreated, he checked in with Eva, "Does it bother you?"
Eva pursed her lips, "Not really; are you okay with it, though?"
She wasn't a celebrity or anything, and they were out in public. Being photographed didn't seem like a big deal to her. But that didn't necessarily mean Adrian felt the same.
To her surprise, Adrian cracked a smile and said lightly, "Coincidentally, I'm fine with it, too."
With that, Eva blinked in acceptance. If neither of them minded, then let them snap away.
She glanced back at the photographing bystander, who seemed unexpectedly charged with emotion. Before Eva could make sense of the sudden swing, Adrian bent down and planted a soft peck at the corner of her lips. The tender touch and warm breath momentarily stunned Eva.
Regaining her senses, she looked up into Adrian's profound eyes, questioning his actions since he knew they were being stealthily photographed.
Amused by her gaze, Adrian's eyes twinkled, "We both don't mind, so why not share a kiss and let them capture it?"
Eva was speechless.
Sure, she didn't mind being photographed, but that didn't mean she was comfortable with her kiss being on camera.
As these thoughts swirled in her head, she instinctively looked over at the girl who had taken their picture.
But this time, the girl didn't notice Eva's gaze. She was too busy squealing with delight with her friend over the kiss they'd just caught on camera; it was as if they'd snagged something spectacular. Watching their excitement, Eva shook her head in resignation.
Oh well, it seemed harmless enough, and the girls didn't appear to have any ill intentions. Maybe they were just charmed by how well-matched the couple looked and wanted to capture the moment. Luckily, the kiss from Adrian wasn't on the lips but rather at the corner of her mouth. If the video went public, it wouldn't be too much of an embarrassment. Adrian's action had clearly been intentional; he knew they were being filmed and decided to put on a little show of affection for the camera.
Upon realizing his intent, Eva said with a hint of exasperation, "What do you think you are, a celebrity trying to win fans with PDA? We're just regular folks; even if it's shared, nobody's going to care." Adrian didn't seem bothered.
"It doesn't matter. If no one watches, then so be it. I'm happy just to entertain myself,” he replied casually before releasing his hold from around Eva's waist and walking over to the two girls. "Wait here for me."
Eva considered following him but stopped when he spoke; instead, she decided waiting there was just fine-she wasn't interested in any fuss, and quite frankly, she was too lazy to move.
She watched the scenario unfold from where she stood. The girls, initially excited over their phones, changed expressions instantly as Adrian approached, instinctively trying to hide their phones behind them. But within a few seconds, they seemed to rethink their move and handed the phones over to Adrian, looking quite dejected.
Eva was puzzled. Wasn't Adrian's goal to flaunt their relationship? Why did he approach these girls? Was he aiming to delete the pictures?
If that was the case, why didn't he prevent them from photographing them in the first place?
It didn't make sense to her.
From a distance, she couldn't make out their conversation, only observing Adrian talking to the girls as his lips moved in earnest discussion. After he spoke, the girls' faces morphed from gloominess to brightness; their eyes sparkling with disbelief.
Then Eva spotted Adrian pulling out his phone, and one of the girls seemed to scan something on it. Eva's brows furrowed slightly, and her lips pursed involuntarily.
This was all too familiar to her. It was like those incidents when someone asked for her WhatsApp on the street, one would present a QR code, and the other would scan it. Wasn't that exactly what Adrian and the girl were doing?
Just minutes ago, the thrill from Adrian's actions still tingled in her, but now, standing there, Eva's mood plummeted; she was growing irritable by the second.
She'd waited long enough; it was time to stop lingering for Adrian. Determined, she decided to shop for lipstick on her own.
With that thought, Eva glanced around and noticed a cosmetics store right ahead. She made a beeline for it, no longer inclined to wait for Adrian.
Inside the boutique, the staff was busy attending to customers, leaving Eva to browse at her leisure-which she preferred.
In today's vast array of cosmetic creations, lipsticks came in countless shades and hues, each suiting various makeup styles.
Eva, who'd watched enough beauty vloggers' tutorials, caught sight of a lipstick and chuckled inwardly, recalling the term 'guy-magnet' color-a delicate, tender pink. Lost in thought while staring at the lipstick, a deep, male voice interrupted her reverie.
"Like that color?"
