Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 213 Rely on Me a Bit More

Eva couldn't help but feel helpless. It was always like this; whenever he gave her something she didn't want, Michael would retreat and pass it to his daughter instead. Ruby blinked her big eyes and accepted the keys without any psychological burden. She even tiptoed to give Michael a peck on the cheek.

"Thank you, Uncle Michael."

Eva looked at her, her expression as expected. Ruby's personality was completely different from Dylan's. She would basically accept the kindness of others, and even had her own little theory. Previously, when Eva taught her not to always take things from Michael, Ruby raised her little face and said, "But Mommy, Ruby didn't take Uncle Michael's things for nothing."

"What do you mean?"

"Uncle Michael always hugs Ruby, rubs Ruby's cheeks, and takes pictures of Ruby. He's putting in effort, you know."

At such a tender age, Ruby had her own insights. She believed that being hugged, having her cheeks rubbed, and even being photographed were all forms of effort.

So Eva argued with her again. "But when Uncle Michael hugs you and takes pictures of you, it's all to help you, right?"

Ruby blinked her eyes. "But Mommy, Ruby didn't ask Uncle Michael to help me. Plus, isn't Uncle Michael interested in you? They say on TV that when pursuing a girl, you have to show sincerity, otherwise how can you win her over?"

At such a young age, she was like a little elf, revealing the complexities of relationships between men and women in a single sentence.

Surprisingly, Eva was persuaded by her. Regardless, when Ruby takes things, Eva had decided to talk to her when they got home later. She definitely couldn't accept such valuable things as the house. If she really did, she would have to pay for it. She already owed Michael too much.

Afterwards, there was no more conversation in the car. They waited until the driver arrived at their destination and turned his head.

"Mr. Cooper, Ms. Hansen, we have arrived."

The car stopped in front of a private school.

"This is the best private school in Chicago. If you want your little ones to go to school, this is the optimal choice."

"Great, thank you for driving us here. We'll get off and take a look."

When they got off the car, the two little ones also bid the driver farewell warmly.

Originally, Eva had planned to find a school for the two children. She had previously researched this private school, which was conveniently located near her company. Michael got off the car with her.

"Tom has been working here for many years and is familiar with Chicago. He says this school has the best reputation, so you can safely leave Ruby and Dylan here."

"Okay, thank you." Eva expressed her gratitude sincerely.

"What are you thanking me for?" Michael smiled helplessly. "This school was already on your inspection list."

"In the list? If you want to thank me, then you should thank me for accompanying you on this trip. I didn't really do much else." Michael tried his best to integrate into her life.

However, Eva was too independent. She basically did everything herself.

He used to admire Eva's determination to never give up, but as time went on, he preferred her to be a bit softer and rely on him more.

That way, he could feel needed.

The head of the school quickly came over to take them around the campus and introduced them along the way.

Then they were taken to the classrooms for inspection. After looking around, Eva was quite satisfied with the school.

The atmosphere during the children's classes was great, and the teachers spoke softly. The key was that the children cooperated. Overall, it was pretty good.

After seeing enough, Eva didn't directly make a decision but said she would consider it.

The school administrator quickly agreed and provided her with contact information.

"The school will provide transportation, but there's something I need to tell you in advance. Some parents aren't comfortable with having their children take the bus, so they either come to pick them up themselves or have the family driver pick them up."

"Ah, I understand what you mean. Thank you, I will consider it."

"Okay then, take care, and goodbye to the two little ones."

After boarding the car, Michael asked her, "How was it?"

"It looks good, but I want to see some other schools as well." Eva hesitated a bit.

"Alright, I'll accompany you."

Afterward, Eva and Michael visited two or three other nearby schools, but the results were slightly unsatisfactory. Either the hygiene was lacking or the food wasn't up to par.

By the end, even Ruby was tired and fell asleep in Michael's arms.

Seeing her asleep, Eva realized they had been to quite a few places today. She stopped and looked at Dylan beside her.

"Dylan, are you tired?"

Dylan was considerate and obedient. Even though they had walked a long way and he was clearly tired, he forced himself to appear energetic and said, "Mommy, I'm not tired." As she spoke, Eva bent down and picked him up.

"Mhm, mommy is tired. Let mommy hold you."

With her words, Dylan couldn't say anything anymore. "Alright, we're not far from heading back. Let mommy carry you."

Dylan didn't resist anymore.

He gently rested his head on Eva's chest. In the beginning, he could still keep his eyes open and say a few words to Eva, but as time went on, he gradually became silent.

By the time Eva was close to the entrance, she realized that the little one had fallen asleep in her arms.

Seeing him like this, Eva couldn't help but reach out and pinch his little nose, saying with a hint of amusement, "You fell asleep so quickly, and yet you said you weren't tired."

Upon being pinched, Dylan made a muffled sound and snuggled deeper into her arms. Eva didn't expect it and almost dropped him.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and held him tight.

Michael, who was watching nearby, couldn't help but speak up, "Let me hold him."

Hearing this, Eva was a bit surprised, "You already have one in your arms, isn't that enough?"

"What's wrong?" Michael raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a smile, "Do you think I can't carry two?"

As he spoke, Michael had already taken Dylan from her arms.

Eva said, "It's inconvenient for you to carry them alone."

"I'm strong, it's no problem," Michael said, holding one child in each hand. Both of them slept peacefully in his arms, and even Dylan, who was usually sensitive, didn't wake up when he was handed over to Michael. It seems like they are really tired.

She didn't refuse anymore and followed Michael forward.

Michael didn't know what he was thinking. Probably taking advantage of the fact that both children were asleep, he couldn't help but speak as they approached the car, "Actually, I just want to do more for you, Eva. Don't rush to reject me, give me more chances to show myself. Maybe if you give me some more time, you might find that I'm not bad."
