Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 22
Eva had no appetite, but at Emily's urging, she reluctantly finished the milk and took a few bites of the sandwich. Seeing that she couldn't eat anymore, Emily stopped pushing.
After tidying up, she sat back down.
"How are you feeling now? Better, right?"
"Hmm."
Emily probed, "Shall we head back for today?"
Eva didn't say anything.
Emily held her hand firmly. "Let's go."
"Alright..."
Eva felt as if she were in a haze, in need of someone to push her forward towards any decision.
She got up and left with Emily.
As they passed by a corner, Eva heard an argument.
"But mom, I like him!" The girl sounded heartbroken.
"Shut up!" The response was a woman's angry and harsh voice. "Nonsense! What have I taught you? You're being deceived, understand?" "Mom..."
"You're not allowed to see him again. A pauper like him isn't worthy of you. If this gets out, you'll never find a quality match, understand?" Under the woman's threats, the girl hung her head, her bangs covering her eyes.
Eva glanced at them before quickly averting her gaze.
Emily sighed at the entrance of the clinic. "The girl seems underage. She's so foolish."
Eva didn't say anything.
Then her phone vibrated.
Emily quickly leaned in. "Is that a call from Adrian? Is he regretting it?"
However, the screen displayed an unfamiliar number.
Emily asked, "Who is it?"
Eva had a guess upon seeing the unfamiliar number.
She hesitated for a few seconds before answering.
"Is this Eva?" asked a slightly harsh voice.
Eva didn't recognize the voice. "Who are you?"
"This is a friend of Vivian. I've learned about something, and I'd like to meet you. I'll send the address via text later."
After a brief pause and a chuckle, the voice added, "You'll come, won't you?"
Before Eva could answer, the call ended.
The speaker wasn't on, and Emily asked curiously as soon as Eva hung up, "Who was it? What did they say?" There was no need to hide anything from Emily. After a moment of silence, Eva said, "A friend of Vivian."
Emily froze, then clenched her teeth in anger.
"What does her friend want with you?"
"She said she knows something and wants to meet."
No sooner had Eva spoken than her phone pinged with a text.
The caller sent an address to a café in the city center.
Emily furrowed her brows.
"What does she know? Could it be..."
She then looked at Eva in shock. "Vivian's friend knows about it too?"
"It seems so," Eva replied.
Emily cursed, infuriated, "How does Vivian know? Did Adrian tell her? Damn bastard! He's decided to give up the child, so why spread the word? Is he allowing Vivian to mock you? How could he be so awful?" Hearing Emily's scolding, Eva instinctively wanted to defend Adrian, but the words died on her lips.
The truth was right before her eyes.
Eva lowered her gaze and remained silent.
Emily had already made the decision for her.
"Don't go. If they want to see you, let them come to you. Why should you go just because they call and give you an address?"
Seeing how furious Emily was, Eva tried to comfort her.
"I wasn't planning on going. Don't be angry."
"I'm not just angry. I'm worried about you," Emily said with resentment.
Then, she narrowed her eyes. "Vivian getting her friend to contact you means she's desperate. She must be afraid you won't abort the child and will compete with her for Adrian. It seems she's not so confident in herself after all." Eva pocketed her phone and ignored the message.
She wouldn't go to the meeting.
It was between her and Adrian, irrelevant to anyone else.
After parting with Emily, Eva returned home.
She had a long vacation, so she planned to spend the next few days clarifying her thoughts and figuring out what she really wanted.
...
At a café in the city center, Vivian picked up her coffee cup, intending to take a sip, but then hurriedly put it back down and looked at her friend across the table. "She'll come, right?"
Her friend scoffed, "Unless she doesn't want to resolve this matter. She must be scared. Let's just wait here calmly. When she's about to arrive, you go hide inside and don't show yourself for now." Vivian bit her lip. "What are you going to talk to her? She probably didn't want this. Be gentle when you speak with her. If she wants compensation, I can..."
Her friend stared at her in disbelief.
"Vivian, don't be too kind, alright? What do you mean she didn't want this? Could she have gotten pregnant if she didn't want to? She must have seduced Adrian. You better not underestimate her." Vivian sighed. "I know you mean well for me, but her family went bankrupt. If she needs money, I'll give it to her. She's helped Adrian a lot over the past two years."
Another friend chimed in, "Vivian, you're just too kind. That b**ch knows Adrian is yours but ended up pregnant. She's obviously trying to climb the ladder. We warned her last time."
"Exactly. When she arrives, we must warn her again."
They waited nearly half an hour, but Eva didn't show up.
"I can't believe that b**ch didn't come. Call her and ask what she wants."
Vivian's fingers curled slightly.
