Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 13

When Eva sent the message successfully, a sudden calm enveloped her heart.

Now, all she had to do was to wait for a reply.

However, Adrian didn't respond immediately.

Eva guessed he might be in a meeting or his phone might be on silent. Once he finished his work, he would see it.

She decided to take a nap.

Eva swiftly changed into her pajamas, drew the curtains, and climbed into bed.

Meanwhile, in one of the offices at the Blackwood Group, Vivian, once calm on the sofa, now trembled visibly, staring at the text message that simply read, "I'm pregnant." Initially, she mistook it for a work-related message for Adrian or spam. She didn't expect it to be from Eva.

Subconsciously, Vivian glanced at Adrian, who was busy with his work across the room.

She couldn't believe that Adrian and Eva had slept together!

Sensing her gaze, Adrian looked over, puzzled.

Vivian was startled and quickly forced a smile before lowering her head.

Adrian then averted his gaze.

The office, high above the city, was silent, impervious to the street noise below.

Without rechecking if the message was indeed from Eva, Vivian deleted it.

A sense of relief washed over Vivian, though her fists were clenched, the nails digging deep into her palms.

'What's Eva up to? Is she trying to snatch Adrian away from me?' she pondered.

With this in mind, Vivian bit her lip.

Just now, she asked Adrian for his phone under a different pretext. Adrian frowned slightly but quickly handed it over. If he had seen this message...

A few minutes later, Vivian returned the phone to Adrian and said softly, "Thank you, Adrian."

Adrian took the phone and nodded. "Hmm."

Vivian couldn't help but ask, "You hate it when people touch your phone. Why would you lend it to me?"

Adrian glanced at her, "You're different."

Vivian felt a surge of contentment.

Maybe she was just overthinking things. Even if Eva was really pregnant, who knew if the child was Adrian's? How could Adrian possibly touch her? Suddenly, Adrian stated solemnly, "Vivian, you saved my life. Whatever you want, just ask, and I'll fulfill it."

The smile on Vivian's lips faded slightly, but she nodded. "Thank you, Adrian."

As she lowered her eyes, a glint of resentment flashed across her face, and a sense of frustration grew in her heart.

He'd been nice to her just because she saved his life! Did he have no other feelings for her?

Reminiscing the incident years ago made Vivian uneasy.

The river was rushing that day. Vivian, paralyzed by fear, watched Adrian get swept away.

As she turned for help, a slender figure rushed over and leaped into the river without hesitation.

Many years had passed, but it remained vivid in Vivian's mind.

The girl was so brave, igniting a long-lasting resentment in her.

"What's on your mind?" Adrian asked, noticing that she seemed lost in thought.

Vivian forced a smile and shook her head. "It's nothing."

She shouldn't dwell on the past.

Since Adrian believed that she saved his life, she would just go with it.

Vivian lingered a bit longer in Adrian's office, but he was preoccupied.

She said reluctantly, "Adrian, I'll come back another time."

Adrian, still engrossed in work, nodded. "Alright."

As Vivian prepared to leave, Adrian called out, "Wait."

"Huh?" Vivian turned around, puzzled.

Adrian looked at her intently. "Who sent the message?"

Hearing his question, Vivian froze.

She had deleted the message without much thought. She never expected that he would ask about it now.

"It was spam. I deleted it for you," she explained.

Adrian fell silent.

Vivian couldn't help but panic.

"Are you angry? I'm sorry. I should have let you decide. I apologize. Please don't be mad at me."

Her apologies eased Adrian's frown.

What was he doing?

Was it necessary for him to be angry with Vivian for so small a reason?

But Adrian was always someone with principles, so he said in a deep voice, "I'm not mad at you, but don't do that again."

Vivian nodded and lowered her head. "I understand. I'm sorry."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

After a moment of silence, Adrian spoke up, "I'll have the driver take you home."

"Okay."

Soon, the driver arrived.

Vivian entered the elevator, her hands clenched into fists.

Adrian didn't seem to mind her using his phone, but he got angry when she deleted his message.

It seemed she was not very special to him.

Vivian pursed her lips tightly.

Merely relying on her act of saving his life wouldn't suffice. She needed to strategize further.

At least she had deleted the message.

She believed that Eva would likely not pursue Adrian in person.

But anyway, she needed to take action.
