Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 15
Emily was taken aback. "Why?"
"Why else?" Eva replied.
Emily gritted her teeth. "You've been with him for two years. Does he really not care about you at all? It's his child. How can he be so cruel?" Eva fell silent.
All her illusions about Adrian had died out.
Emily continued, "And you grew up together. Doesn't that count for anything? Eva, did you make things clear to him? Maybe..."
"Emily," Eva calmly interrupted her, "let's not talk about it anymore."
It would only make her feel more humiliated.
She didn't want Adrian to think she was seeking sympathy and attention on purpose.
Eva hung up on Emily, then got up to prepare herself to go to work full of energy.
She drove herself to the company, where her first task was to check her work. After confirming everything was fine, she took out her phone and made a medical appointment online. If she decided on an abortion, she needed to act fast.
However, this week was completely booked, and she could only make an appointment for next week.
As Eva was about to confirm the appointment, she hesitated.
An inner voice questioned her, "Are you really going to kill your baby?"
Another voice replied, "I don't want to, but what can I do? Why should I raise a child without a father?"
"Don't rush to make a decision. You just got pregnant, and it will be a long time before you give birth." "Avoiding the problem doesn't solve it. I'll have to face it sooner or later."
"But this child isn't just Adrian's. It's also yours!"
"So what? I don't want my child to grow up in a single-parent home."
The two voices battled inside Eva.
One urged her to keep the child, while the other urged her to have an abortion, causing her a tremendous headache.
"Eva, take a look at this project proposal."
Jenny walked over.
Eva quickly placed her phone face down on her desk.
Jenny was surprised, but as an assistant, she couldn't pry into Eva's privacy, so she suppressed her curiosity and handed over the proposal.
After taking it, Eva noticed that Jenny was still standing there, so she asked, "Something else?"
Jenny glanced at her and asked hesitantly, "Are you well recovered? You fainted the other day, and it really scared me."
Upon hearing this, Eva became a little curious.
"You brought him here?"
Jenny nodded, "Yes, I couldn't wake you, so I went to find Mr. Blackwood."
No wonder she woke up in Adrian's car.
"Eva, you don't know how worried Mr. Blackwood was when I told him you might be unconscious," Jenny added.
Eva couldn't quite grasp Jenny's intention. Was Jenny trying to please her?
So, she carefully replied, "Really? How worried was he?"
Jenny gave a sheepish smile.
"Well, I've been with the Blackwood Group for many years, and I've never seen Mr. Blackwood so flustered before. Several executives were reporting to him, but he left them, rushed over, and carried you into his car." Jenny even winked at Eva, "Mr. Blackwood definitely cares about you."
"Is that so?" Eva, spur of the moment, asked, "Didn't you see any other woman with him yesterday?"
This single comment doused Jenny's fantasy of an office romance.
She stood there awkwardly.
She had almost forgotten about the woman in Adrian's office.
And recently, there were rumors circulating in the company because of that woman.
Seeing her standing there motionless, Eva rubbed her throbbing temple and softly said, "Go back to work."
"Oh, alright."
After Jenny left, Eva picked up her phone and confirmed the appointment.
"Nothing worth holding onto," she thought.
At noon, Carter messaged her, inviting her for lunch.
Mind in chaos, Eva wanted to refuse, but considering that he had handled her work yesterday, she agreed.
Eva went to wait for Carter at the front entrance.
He said he would pick her up.
While waiting, Eva reviewed her afternoon schedule on her phone and suddenly heard some people discussing animatedly.
"Isn't that Mr. Blackwood's car? Why is he coming at this hour?"
Eva instinctively looked up and saw the black Porsche.
Eva felt a stir in her thoughts, knowing only Adrian would drive that car.
The Porsche moved fast, but with the windows down, Eva saw Vivian in the passenger seat.
Vivian was wearing a light blue blouse, her long hair draped over her shoulders. She glanced out of the window at Eva standing among the employees.
Vivian paused, then smiled at her.
Adrian, in the driver's seat, was focused ahead and didn't notice this exchange.
It wasn't until the car entered the underground garage that the employees began to talk.
"Who's that girl? She's sitting in Mr. Blackwood's passenger seat! I heard they stayed late working together last night."
"Vivian Morrison, Mr. Blackwood's sweetheart. She got back into the country the other day."
"But isn't Blackwood married to Ms. Hansen?"
"You're so naive. Since when do marriage vows matter in wealthy families? There are rumors Mr. Blackwood and Ms. Hansen have a sham marriage. Otherwise, she would have taken his name."
