Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 73 Should I Walk on My Own or Should I Carry You?
The information contained in Chef Kane's statement was too overwhelming for Eva to comprehend. Could it be that Chef Kane had discovered something suspicious about her food?
Seeing Eva's puzzled expression, Chef Kane rubbed his hands together in confusion and smiled sincerely. "Madam suddenly had a change in taste, so I made some adjustments according to your preferences. Is there any problem, Madam?" A change in taste... If others were to hear this, it would raise suspicions. Eva pursed her lips and looked at Chef Kane with seriousness, whispering, "Chef Kane, where did my taste change? I only had a few extra pastries this morning." Chef Kane was taken aback by her response and rubbed his head, realizing she was right. She had only eaten a few extra pastries, so why did he feel that her taste had changed so drastically?
Feeling embarrassed, Chef Kane quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Madam. I must have overthought it."
Eva raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "It's okay, Chef Kane. It shows that you are responsible. I have been eating greasy food too often lately, and now that my grandmother is back for recovery and has to have surgery soon, I'd like to have lighter meals in the future."
Each sentence Eva said made sense to Chef Kane. "No problem, Madam. I will make sure to prepare lighter meals in the future. You have thought of everything."
Eva smiled without saying a word, keeping her abilities hidden.
"Oh, by the way, after lunch, would you like to have some dessert? I specially made fruit dumplings for you," Chef Kane asked.
Fruit dumplings. Eva had never heard of such a dish before, but her mouth responded faster than her brain. "Sure."
By the time her brain caught up, she saw Chef Kane smiling and saying, "Great, I'll prepare them for you then," before walking away. Eva, "..."
She glanced down at her small abdomen and silently complained.
You little glutton!
This definitely wasn't what she wanted to eat!
Without feeling guilty, Eva blamed her cravings on the little baby inside her belly.
Her phone vibrated, and Eva looked down to see a message from Adrian, "Outside."
Eva: "..."
Of course, she knew he was outside, but what she had asked was where he had taken his grandmother.
After a brief moment of frustration, Eva had to send another message.
"Where are you?"
This time, Adrian responded relatively quickly.
"Coming back later."
Once again, he didn't answer her question.
It seemed like he didn't want to tell her where he was or maybe he was with Vivian?
Thinking about it, Eva's eyes filled with mockery.
"I don't care where you're going, but since you're taking your grandmother with you, you know her condition. Bring her back earlier for some rest." After sending the message, Eva put her phone away.
"Don't worry. Just enjoy your meal."
Actually, she doesn't need to worry so much. Adrian is actually very filial, and his grandmother is his own grandmother. He wouldn't do anything that would harm her. All in all, even if there's a need to worry, it's not she should be worried.
After finishing the meal, Eva went upstairs while Adrian didn't reply to her message.

The next day
Because she promised Vivian, Eva suggested inviting her over for breakfast the next day.
Adrian, who was drinking his coffee expressionlessly, couldn't help but look at Eva and furrow upon hearing her suggestion.
Didn't they just talk about how unclear his relationship with Vivian was yesterday? Why is she calling her over now? Quickly, a thought crossed Adrian's mind; Eva probably wanted to provoke him because she was being stubborn. Since they had an argument and a cold war over this issue yesterday, she was probably seeking revenge today. Thinking this, Adrian calmly asked, "Why do you want to invite her over?"
Eva didn't expect Adrian to object, and she was a bit surprised. After all, this would be beneficial to him, as he would undoubtedly be with Vivian after divorcing her.
By then, Vivian and his grandmother would have developed a good relationship, and he would also avoid some scolding.
"She gets along well with your grandmother and knows how to make her happy, so I thought it's a good idea to call her over."
Adrian pursed his lips and his voice turned cold.
"You're just going to call her and she'll come? Doesn't she have to work?"
Granny Blackwood noticed that something seemed off between the two of them when she woke up this morning, but arguing and fighting was common among couples with a good relationship. So, she didn't pay much attention to it. Now, hearing them discussing things, she smiled and said, "Yes, Eva. Perhaps she has to work, and she already spent the whole day with me yesterday. It might not be appropriate to ask her to come over again today." Granny Blackwood then reached out and patted Eva, saying, "Forget it, Eva."
Eva had already promised Vivian yesterday, and now she was keeping her promise. However, Adrian stood against it.
So, it wouldn't be her breaking her promise.
Thinking this, Eva glanced at Adrian and nodded at Granny Blackwood.
"Well, alright then. Let's not bother others. I thought she really likes grandma. That's why I wanted to call her. I guess she won't refuse."
Granny Blackwood smiled and remained silent.
Afterwards, everyone continued to have breakfast, but Adrian's expression became worse and worse.
Ever since Eva suggested inviting Vivian, there was a constant chill in the air around him. This low atmosphere continued until breakfast ended, and Adrian suggested the butler to take a walk with Granny. The butler agreed and was about to step forward, but Eva interrupted, "Let me do it instead."
Her hand had just landed on the wheelchair when Adrian grabbed it.
"Jack, take Granny for a little spin and be back in fifteen minutes."
The butler nodded as he looked at their clasped wrists.
"Okay, sir."
With that, the quick-witted butler pushed Granny Blackwood's wheelchair away.
Eva endured Adrian's grip on her wrist, as Granny Blackwood was present.
It wasn't until Jack pushed Granny Blackwood out of the room that Eva forcefully broke free from Adrian's hold.
"What are you doing again?"
Adrian's gaze swept coldly over the servants in the hall. He pressed his thin lips together before lowering his voice. "Let's talk upstairs."
Eva didn't listen to him, her voice faint.
"I thought we already made ourselves clear yesterday. What else needs to be said?"
Adrian stared at her with calm obsidian eyes.
"Do you want to walk up yourself, or shall I carry you?"
Eva was taken aback.
"What?"
"You have three seconds to decide."
Eva stared at him in silence. Was he really acting this childish now?
"Two."
"Adrian, you haven't-"
In the next second, Adrian took a step forward, scooping her up horizontally in his arms.
