Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 19

Eva's words calmed Emily down a bit.

She knew Eva was always sensible. She should have expected this outcome earlier. But even so, she felt sorry for Eva.

She bit her lip and asked, "But... are you really okay with this?"

Eva responded indifferently, "Does it help to protest?"

She was indeed not okay with it and had tried to see if anything could change.

However, reality slapped her in the face and told her not to delude herself.

"Will you go with me to the clinic tomorrow?" Eva paused and chuckled. "I don't want to go alone."

Emily nodded. "Come on. I'm your best friend. Even if I'm busy, I'll make time, okay? You didn't have to ask."

Eva smiled, "Let's eat then."

She appeared calm and showed no sign of dissatisfaction.

Looking at Eva like this, Emily felt like crying.

Before the Hansen family went bankrupt, Eva was a happy, carefree girl. Now, she was anxious, hesitant, and restrained.

"Eva, if you feel upset, just cry." Emily sighed. "There's no one else here. I'm your best friend. It's okay to be vulnerable." Hearing this, Eva froze.

Should she cry?

After the Hansen family's collapse, she cried countless times, and it was during that time that she realized crying couldn't solve any problems.

If she cried, those who wanted to bring her down would mock her for sure.

Since then, Eva decided she would no longer shed tears in front of others, no matter how trustworthy they might be.

With this in mind, Eva smiled softly. "Silly girl, what's there to cry about? He made it clear long ago that our marriage was a sham. I helped him appease his grandmother, and he cleared my debts. It was a mere transaction." She said it with a light-hearted tone, but Emily was furious.

"You're lying! If it was just a transaction, why would you get pregnant? If he treated it as a transaction, he shouldn't have touched you. Isn't abortion risky? What does he think of you?"

Eva felt a dull ache in her heart.

In the beginning, their relationship wasn't as it appeared now.

They lived together to avoid suspicion, but Adrian would voluntarily sleep on the couch.

Eva was only able to climb out of the depths of despair with his help. And on top of that, he was also the man she liked. So, how could she bear to let him sleep on the couch?

Eva offered to share the bed with Adrian, with a pillow between them on the ample bed, which didn't affect their sleep.

They maintained this distance for a long while. The change happened one night.

Adrian took her to an event and introduced her to important people. Eva used to know those important figures as the heiress of the Hansen family, but that night she was introduced as Adrian's wife. On Adrian's account, no one dared to disrespect her.

Happy with the proceedings, Eva invited Adrian for a drink, and they discussed work as they drank heavily.

It took Eva a lot of effort to help Adrian back home, but she accidentally stumbled and ended up in his arms.

It seemed to ignite something in Adrian, who firmly grasped her waist and pinned her beneath him.

Despite his lean figure, he had a strong build. Possibly due to the influence of alcohol, Eva's face instantly flushed, and she tried to push him away.

The next second, Adrian's warm lips pressed against hers.

Stunned, Eva lost the will to push him away as warmth filled her mouth.

By the time she realized what was happening, she was kissing him back.

Adrian held her tight like a fish long deprived of water.

That night, Eva indulged herself.

When she woke up in Adrian's embrace, she saw his furrowed brows. As he was about to say something, she preempted, "We both had too much to drink last night. It was just an accident." A flicker of surprise crossed Adrian's eyes as he repeated, "An accident?"

Eva nodded. "Yes."

It could only be an accident. If anything complicated arose, it would surely destroy their current relationship. He might think that she had ulterior motives and would no longer let her stay by his side. Adrian's expression briefly turned gloomy.

After a while, he regained his composure and asked coldly, "Girls tend to lose out in these situations. What do you want?"

Eva pretended to be nonchalant. "Why would I want anything? Adults have physical needs, that's all."

Adria gritted his teeth and squinted at her. "You think it's just a physical need?"

Eva shrugged carelessly, "What else could it be? Don't overthink it. If you really think you owe me, just give me money."

That day, she carefully shielded her affection for Adrian, suggesting it was all a transaction.

She said she wanted ten million dollars.

Adrian's face sharpened in an instant. Eva had never seen him so angry.

Still, he gave her the ten million dollars.

Then Adrian gave Eva the cold shoulders for a long time.

He would avoid her gaze and leave for work early to avoid her and deliberately stay late at the office, so they hardly crossed paths. Their relationship improved after Mabel's birthday celebration.

Snapping back to reality, Eva sighed.

"It should be settled quickly."

Once everything was settled, she would leave.

Once Mabel's surgery was over, she and Adrian would get a divorce, and then she would be free to go wherever she wished.

Eva filed a leave request with the HR department, which was quickly approved.

The next day, Eva woke up early, met Emily, and went directly to the clinic.
