Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 586 What did he do to you?

In the end, Eva chose to remain silent, leaving him to coax Ruby to sleep.

Sure enough, Ruby wasn't so easily fooled. She even said, "Hmm, Mommy was just talking to me; how did she fall asleep so quickly? Mommy..." Ruby, even tried to touch her face to see if she was really asleep.

In the darkness, Adrian vaguely saw the little one's movements. His face changed, and with a swift movement, he scooped Ruby to his side. "Ruby, stop it. If your Mommy is asleep, you'll wake her up."

Ruby, now by Adrian's side, paused at his words, and it took her a moment to understand what he meant.

"Oh, I can't wake Mommy. She walked a lot today and must be tired."

Unlike her and her brother, who were always sitting in the shopping cart.

"Yes, your mommy has been tired all day. Let her rest well. You have been good all day, so it's time for you to go to sleep too."

Since he had brought her over, Adrian didn't plan to let her go back and disturb Eva's sleep. He directly circled her in his arms, stretching out his arm for her to use as a pillow. "Sleep beside Daddy tonight."

Ruby had never slept with him before. Upon hearing this, her big eyes blinked twice, then she asked in her baby voice, "Is Daddy's arm soft?"

Adrian didn't know what to say.

Adrian was slim. There was hardly any meat on his arm, so how could it be soft?

Ruby using his arm as a pillow was indeed not suitable.

Thinking of this, Adrian was silent for a moment before saying, "Then... should Daddy get you a pillow?"

Ruby was clearly not satisfied, "I want to sleep next to Mommy."

"But your mommy is asleep. You'll disturb her if you go over there."

So Ruby was torn between Adrian's hard arm and waking up her mom. After a while, she obediently laid on Adrian's arm, her little face wrinkled as soon as she lay down. "Daddy, you should share some of the pillow with Ruby."

"Okay."

Adrian shared half of his pillow with her.

But clearly, an adult's pillow was not suitable for a child. He got up again to replace a clean towel, warmed it by his hand, and gave it to Ruby.

Ruby, lying on the towel, felt that it wasn't as comfortable as her mommy's arms, but it was much softer than her daddy's arm. It felt pretty good.

Soon, Ruby fell asleep contentedly.

Kids fall asleep quickly. One second they were talking, the next they were in dreamland.

After hearing her breathing become steady and long, Adrian finally let out a sigh of relief.

'She was finally asleep.' Adrian thought helplessly while tucking her in.

After doing all this, Adrian seemed to think of something. He looked towards where Eva was sleeping and pursed his lips.

That night, he was destined to be sleepless.

In fact, Eva hadn't fallen asleep. She had just closed her eyes and had heard the conversation between Ruby and Adrian.

After a long silence in the dark, Eva sighed deeply in her heart.

Everyone was smart.

Both sides knew that the other wasn't asleep. After all, how could anyone suddenly fall asleep in such a short time? And just after Ruby asked such a question. One didn't answer, and the other didn't expose it. They were just giving each other a way out.

The long breathing of the two children came from the side, while the two adults' minds ran wild.

Eva lay down with her mind in a mess, thinking about many things. She didn't know when she fell asleep. It seemed that she suddenly became tired and blacked out. When she woke up the next day, she was the only one left in the bed.

She lay there blankly for a few seconds before getting up and going downstairs.

Today was actually the day before New Year's. Almost everyone in the house was busy. Seeing Eva awake, many people greeted her.

Eva had practically made a round of the entire house before she finally saw a familiar figure and went up to her.

"Aunt, where did everyone else go?"

Seeing Eva, Grace immediately showed a smile.

"You're awake, Eva. They all had things to do and went out."

Everyone had things to do and went out?

She didn't expect this. She just slept a little bit later, but when she woke up, she couldn't see anyone.

Eva nodded, then turned to leave. As she was about to go, she stopped and asked another question.

"Aunt, I remember you have a son. Will he come here for the New Year?"

Mentioning this, Grace's expression stiffened slightly, and after a moment, she said helplessly, "He won't be coming back this year. He said he has plans with a few classmates to spend New Year's in Venice. They're having a blast there." Although Eva had no memory, she had learned in a few words that Grace had a son who had just graduated, and he was very young.

Young people often prefer to spend the holidays with friends rather than family. When they have friends, they like to go out and have fun together. She could understand that.

So, she quickly nodded, indicating that she understood, and then left.

Grace stood there, letting out a soft sigh.

Since she couldn't replace anyone else, Eva felt bored; she had nothing to do at home. She simply returned to her room and planned to sleep a little longer.

But as she lay down, she thought of something and made a video call to Emily.

Emily answered the call very quickly. She was excited when she received the call and even teased Eva about forgetting her after going abroad. She thought Eva would wait until after the New Year to call her.

"Of course not. I would definitely call you before the New Year. Even if I didn't call now, I would definitely call you tonight."

"So, you're not saying that since you called me this morning, you won't call me tonight, are you?"

"No, I'll call you tonight too."

After getting her promise, Emily finally showed a satisfied smile.

But then, her expression became a bit strange.

"I have something to tell you."

"Hmm?"

"My old boss, the one surnamed Powell..."

When she said his name, Emily's ears turned slightly red, and she bit her lower lip without going on.

Eva stared at her suspiciously, "And then? What did he do to you?"

"He's also on vacation for the holidays recently. I originally thought this workaholic would continue to work as he did in previous years, but who knew... he actually took a vacation recently." Hearing this, Eva still didn't catch anything.

"Isn't it normal to take a vacation? Maybe he's tired this year, or there's no particularly busy work this year. Why are your ears red?"

"Ah!"

As soon as her red ears were mentioned, Emily immediately screamed as if someone had stepped on her tail.

"Are my ears red? Where are they red? You must have seen it wrong! Definitely wrong!"

If Eva was only a little suspicious before, she could definitely tell something was off now.
