Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 228 Comfortable?
A few minutes later.
Samantha sat in the front passenger seat. As soon as she got in, she immediately closed the door, buckled her seatbelt, and wore an expression that said, "This seat is mine now, do whatever you want, I won't change." After getting out of the car, Eva stood in place and only after a while said to Henry, "You go ahead."
Henry didn't have any objections. Since everyone was going down the mountain, they could just ride together.
He listened to Eva and bent down, wanting to get in. Then he heard Adrian say, "Scram."
Henry maintained his posture for a moment, but then lifted his head with a smile, saying to Eva, "Ms. Hansen, why don't you go in first?"
Seeing his expression and recalling what had happened earlier, Eva sighed helplessly in her heart and resignedly got into the car. Henry followed behind her.
Since they had to keep their distance from Adrian, Eva sat closer to Henry's side.
After the car started moving, Adrian furrowed his brows.
"Henry, move over a bit."
Hearing this, Henry didn't think much of it and shifted towards the side of the car.
Adrian's desire to avoid others touching the woman he had his eyes on was normal.
Thinking this, Henry moved a bit closer to the car window.
But unexpectedly, Adrian still wasn't satisfied. "Move over a bit more."
Henry looked at Adrian speechlessly and moved a bit more.
"More."
"It's not like I can just move if there's no space for me to move to. Should I just get off the car then?"
Adrian's face remained expressionless. "Fine."
Eva, sitting in the middle, couldn't bear it anymore and turned her head to face Adrian. They locked eyes, her gaze meeting his pitch-black eyes.
Since they got in the car, his gaze had been fixed on her, never once shifting.
"Would you like to get off?"
Upon hearing this, Henry immediately thumbed up at Eva.
Seeing Eva arguing with him face to face, Adrian naturally didn't look pleased, but he still tugged at his lips in the end. "Are you sure? If I get off, then you'll have to follow."
Upon hearing that, Eva immediately withdrew her gaze without any hesitation. She couldn't be bothered to deal with him anymore. She understood this man, Adrian, too well. He could say what he would do and then actually do it. If she couldn't change him, then she would just ignore him.
So, when they were descending the mountain, Eva simply closed her eyes and rested against the seat. She sat up straight, with Henry on either side of her.
She didn't want to get close to anyone. Originally, she just wanted to close her eyes and not speak. However, the journey down the mountain took about half an hour, and the mountain road was rugged, with important people on board, so the driver dared not drive fast and could only go slowly.
As time went on, Eva unintentionally fell asleep.
Once asleep, her head, which had been leaning against the seat, began to lean to the side.
Adrian pursed his lips and, seeing her head about to fall towards Henry, suddenly reached out and supported it.
Eva's head rested in his palm. After making sure she was deeply asleep and wouldn't wake up, Adrian slowly leaned her head onto his shoulder.
During the process, the movements were extremely gentle and soft.
Henry, who was sitting next to them, saw this scene and looked at Adrian in astonishment.
Adrian, upon receiving his gaze, remained expressionless.
Henry, on the other hand, had a startled expression.
As they continued on the road, Adrian watched with satisfaction as Eva, who was awake and usually eager to distance herself from him, ended up sleeping and only able to rely on his shoulder. Indeed, she was more obedient when she was asleep.
When she was awake, she was too arrogant and indifferent.
Thinking of her cold gaze, Adrian's heart tensed with a dull pain.
Since they had met, it was rare to have such a warm moment.
Unfortunately, this warm moment didn't last long as Eva's phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
The melodious ringtone echoed in the quiet car, and Eva woke up quickly.
Adrian's body suddenly tensed.
Unexpectedly, without even opening her eyes, Eva felt her way to her phone in her pocket in the same position.
Being close, Adrian saw that the incoming call displayed "Michael" on her phone screen.
His face immediately turned dark.
"Hello," Eva brought the phone close to her ear.
Perhaps her voice was too groggy, so Michael on the other end of the line paused and asked, "Just woke up? Where are you?"
Eva was still groggy from sleep, so her voice and emotions were soft. Based on her faint memories before falling asleep, she said, "In the car."
After speaking, Eva felt that her current position was uncomfortable, so she adjusted her posture and rubbed her head against the side.
Once she felt comfortable, she asked, "What's the matter? Why are you looking for me?"
"You're still sleeping in the car? Eva, didn't you get enough rest last night?"
It wasn't that she didn't get enough rest last night. It was that she was tired and felt nauseous because of Adrian's driving, which made her fall asleep accidentally... Realizing this, Eva suddenly realized something.
Her actions seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes, raised her head, and met Adrian's dark, deep gaze. However, Adrian was now looking at her with a displeased expression. "Eva?"
Michael on the other end of the phone still hadn't received her response, so he called her again.
Suddenly, Adrian spoke with a slight parting of his thin lips, "Is it comfortable leaning on him?"
Michael's voice abruptly stopped.
Eva's face changed.
Soon, she realized what Adrian was implying.
This was intentional; he clearly knew he was on the phone but chose to speak at this moment. Maybe when he answered the call just now, he even saw his own name on the screen.
It took a while for Michael on the other end of the phone to find his voice.
"Eva, where are you?"
Since Eva didn't take Adrian's matter seriously and had no intention of telling Michael, she decided to just say it now since he had discovered it.
"I'm still on my way. Something unexpected happened today, I'll tell you when I get back."
Michael remained silent for a moment.
"Okay."
He paused and added, "If it's inconvenient for you, you can get off now and tell me the location so I can come pick you up."
Hearing this, Eva was taken aback.
She understood what Michael meant.
Eva pursed her lips and lowered her gaze. "No need, I'll be there soon. Just wait for me to come back."
Michael didn't say anything more.
Eva felt a little uncomfortable and could only bid him goodbye before hanging up the phone.
She put her phone away and sat back in her seat.
"You haven't answered my question," Adrian persisted, "Is it comfortable leaning on me?"
Eva turned her head, staring at Adrian silently.
"You might not know, but I sleep very properly and would never lean on you."
"Is that so?" Adrian mocked and tugged at his lips. "Seems like you don't know yourself well enough. Well, a sleeping person wouldn't know what they've done, unlike me, the former person by your side, right?"
