Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 227 Don't Even Think About Leaving
Time seemed to pass without notice, and the wind lifted Eva's long hair.
As the nausea caused by the horse's trot gradually subsided, she lowered her eyes and looked at the hand that encircled her.
Her voice turned cold. "Had enough of hugging?" The person behind her suddenly froze. "If you've had enough, let go. I want to go down and grab the flag." After saying these words, Eva could clearly feel the person hugging her relax slightly.
The person froze for a moment, then slowly released their hand.
"Alright, let's get the flag first."
Adrian dismounted and reached out his hand to help Eva down.
Eva glanced at him and didn't take his hand. Instead, she struggled to get off the horse by herself.
This scene made Adrian's gaze turn colder.
After dismounting, Eva took a deep breath and went forward to get the flag. She didn't bother with the small box nearby, showing no interest.
Just as she stood up straight, Henry's loud curse could be heard in the distance.
"Adrian, you scoundrel! You actually arrived before me!"
Henry dismounted and angrily threw the reins on the ground.
"Samantha! It's all your fault for not letting me take the shortcut!"
Samantha responded with a "Hmph!"
Henry glanced at Adrian and tried to pass him to talk to Eva, but Adrian lifted his hand to block his way.
"Forget what the bet was about?"
Upon hearing this, Henry's expression immediately turned unpleasant.
"Don't be like this, Adrian. I was just going to have a chat with her. We've known each other for a while now. Are you joking with me?"
However, Adrian didn't move and just coldly stared at him.
"Do I look like I'm joking with you?"
Henry opened his mouth, intending to say something more, but when he saw the pitch-black eyes and the surging anger in Adrian's eyes, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Adrian wasn't just warning him about the bet.
It wasn't merely about the bet; his hostility was much stronger.
Henry glanced at Eva, who stood beside him, holding the flag with her beautiful face and cold demeanor. There seemed to be an unusual energy flowing between the two of them. He took two steps back and admitted defeat.
"Fine, I won't talk to her for now. I admit defeat, alright?"
After saying that, Henry quickly left.
Eva, seeing this, wanted to go after him. After all, her purpose of coming here today was to secure his investment.
But as she passed by Adrian, he grabbed her wrist.
"Did I let you go?"
Eva frowned, still holding the victorious flag in her hand.
Unfortunately, this victory didn't bring any joy to either of them.
Eva lowered her head, her gaze falling on Adrian's hand gripping her wrist. She slowly freed herself inch by inch.
After pulling her hand away, she casually shook it and then looked at Adrian with a hint of amusement. "It's been five years, Adrian. Do you still think you have any importance to me? You want to hug me? Please show some respect when you see me in the future, otherwise, I will consider it harassment."
Her words caused Adrian's pupils to dilate, and his aura became dangerous.
Unfortunately, Eva wasn't afraid of him at all. Seeing that he didn't speak, she added another remark.
"Understood?" After finishing her sentence, Eva breathed a sigh of relief and walked past him.
"Are you with Michael now?"
Upon hearing this, Eva paused her steps.
After a moment.
"That's none of your business."
After leaving on her own, Henry was still standing there, looking confused when he saw Eva approaching. He glanced at Adrian too.
"Mr. Davis, although it's unfortunate that we didn't ride together, I still hope you can spare me some time to discuss work-related matters?" Eva said.
Henry thought about Adrian's zombie-like face and initially didn't want to agree. However, seeing Eva's smile in front of him, the words on his lips changed as if guided by a mysterious force. "Alright then, let's go," he said. "Thank you," Eva replied.
As they were leaving, Eva also invited Samantha who was standing nearby. Samantha waved her hand and said, "No, I'm going. The man you don't like, I like. I want to seize the opportunity."
Did none of these people know about him and Vivian being together?
However, Eva never liked to judge or interfere with others' lives and decisions. She chose to respect their thoughts and nodded. "Alright, let's go then."
She and Henry left together. Henry walked over with the horse, scratching his head awkwardly. "The road down the mountain is quite far and it will take a long time on foot. Would you like to ride?"
Eva was just relieved to avoid riding the horse at this point but then remembered the investment... She took a deep breath and was about to agree.
"Do you dare to ride his horse and try it for yourself!" Adrian's demanding voice came from above.
Henry immediately changed his mind and said, "Why don't I call a car instead?" He promptly took out his phone to make a call.
Eva felt relieved seeing this. Riding a car instead of a horse would be the best option.
The car arrived quickly. Just as Eva was about to open the door and sit in, someone else swiftly opened the back door and took the seat directly. Eva glanced at the person, feeling somewhat speechless. She had just made it clear to him.
Facing her gaze, Adrian looked back at her as if it was only natural for him to be there. It was his friend who called the car, after all. But she was definitely not going to sit with him.
Upon seeing this, Eva directly closed the door and sat in the front passenger seat.
Henry and Samantha had no choice but to sit in the back. But just as Henry sat down, Adrian's cold voice sounded, "Henry, you go sit in the front."
"Why?" Henry looked up and met Adrian's icy gaze, unable to control a shiver.
"That's fine, I understand. I'll go sit in the front," Henry said.
Sitting in the front passenger seat on the way downhill was the most dangerous.
Henry opened the door and said to Eva, "Ms. Hansen, let's switch seats."
"Thank you, but it's not necessary," Eva politely declined him.
Henry stood in place, feeling quite troubled.
Adrian was making things difficult for him today, but he couldn't possibly harass a girl he was interested in, right?
Just then, Adrian's icy voice came from the back seat.
"No switching. The car won't move if you do."
The driver tightened his grip on the steering wheel, almost mistaking the accelerator for the brake. He was terrified.
"You're being childish," Eva commented without turning back.
But anyone could tell who she was aiming her words at.
Adrian stared intently at the back of her head.
Seeing this, Henry whispered, "...why don't you switch with me? It'll be over once we get off the mountain."
Eva remained seated and didn't move, while Henry didn't know what else to say. Meanwhile, Adrian maintained his icy expression. Everyone stood there, locked in a stalemate.
After a while, Samantha, who was standing by the back door, weakly raised her hand and said, "Can I sit in the front passenger seat?"
