Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 240 Fainted
Eva thought that she was somewhat prepared for this. After all, Tim had been urging her to approach the Blackwood family for investment for a while. And from a company's perspective, having such management in place was actually a good thing. She didn't get angry, just nodded, and then turned to leave the room. Throughout the entire process, Michael had been almost completely ignored by her.
When she reached the stairs, ready to call a cab, Michael stopped her.
"I'll accompany you."
At his words, Eva paused and saw that Michael was holding his car keys, following her all this time. It was at this moment that she realized something.
"Sorry, I was a bit hurried just now..."
"It wasn't intentional..." She just wanted to say that she didn't intentionally ignore Michael, but when the words reached her lips, she felt like they would hurt him even more if she said them out loud.
"Do you want to go find him? I'll go with you." Eva instinctively called out to him. "I can go on my own."
Hearing this, Michael's movements paused, and after a moment, he turned his head and silently looked at her. Faced with his silent gaze, Eva felt guilty and lightly bit her lip.
"I'm sorry. Wait for me to come back and then I'll talk to you, alright?" When she came back after a trip, Michael thought that the situation might change. But at this moment, he couldn't bring himself to say anything that would trouble her. "Eva." After a long pause, Michael finally called out her name and sighed.
"Go, I'll wait for you to come back." He hoped that he wouldn't be disappointed with the outcome when she returned.
Following the address Jacob provided, Eva found the hotel where Adrian was staying. He was staying in a deluxe suite on the top floor. When Eva stood in front of the room door, she was still wondering what she should say when she saw him. As Eva contemplated, she pressed the doorbell. No one opened the door for a while, so Eva double-checked the room number. Was he not in? But it made sense too. His assistant only said he was staying here, not that he was still here. Maybe she was too anxious after finding out about this. Just as Eva was about to give up and leave after pressing the doorbell for the fourth time, the hotel room door suddenly opened.
Adrian opened the door with a cold face, but when he saw Eva standing outside, a hint of astonishment flashed in his handsome face. After a moment, he spoke, "Why are you here?"
In that moment, Eva felt some regret when she saw him. Did she really have to come here and ask him something just because he invested in her company? Eva suddenly felt a bit of regret, but it was too late to turn back now. She calmly countered his question, "What about you?"
Adrian pursed his thin lips, his complexion appearing somewhat pale. In contrast, his black eyes looked even deeper. Seeing him standing there, just staring at her without saying anything, Eva's brows furrowed lightly.
"What do you want? I already made myself clear to you before, didn't I?"
"I don't know," Adrian replied.
Even though she said so many harsh words, even though those words pierced his heart, he couldn't help but want to invest in her company. He wanted to know how she had been for the past five years, if she slept well, and even... if she got married and had children.
Just like what John said, he wanted to obtain her news through normal means. So after hanging up the phone, Adrian didn't even think twice and made this decision directly.
"You don't know?" Eva couldn't help but find his answer amusing.
The day before, she made it clear that without his approval, no other company would offend him or invest in her company. Now he suddenly came to invest in her company and said he didn't know?
Eva chuckled lightly and spoke coldly, "Since you don't know, then don't do anything unnecessary."
Upon hearing this, Adrian frowned slightly and asked, "What if I do? I still want to invest in your company. What can you do to stop me?"
Eva looked at his pale lips and slightly damp forehead, and slowly said, "I don't care what you do. As long as you're not afraid of losses."
After finishing her sentence, Eva turned around and was about to leave.
Adrian, on the other hand, quietly watched her, his thin lips tightly pressed together, seemingly unwilling to engage in further conversation with her.
After taking two steps, Eva suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look at Adrian.
"What about Grandma?"
Adrian, who had lowered his gaze after she left, raised his eyes slightly and chuckled, "You want to see her?"
"Yes." Eva nodded. "I want to see her."
She regretted the words she said yesterday. No matter what happened between her and Adrian, her grandmother was still her grandmother.
Adrian sneered, "No need to see her."
Eva furrowed her eyebrows and scrutinized Adrian's face.
"Why?" she asked.
"No specific reason. Are you done talking?" Adrian coldly dismissed her, "If you're done, can you leave?"
Eva didn't leave as he expected, but took a step forward.
"Unless you tell me why we don't need to see her anymore. Did you tell Grandma what I said?"
Adrian's breathing became heavier.
"I told her everything."
Upon hearing this, Eva frowned.
She initially thought Adrian was just saying that he would inform her grandmother out of anger. After all, those words would not only disappoint her grandmother but also make her angry, potentially causing harm to her health. He had no reason not to understand.
But he said he had told everything to her grandmother, which was not right.
Eva narrowed her eyes and carefully observed him. "Adrian, are you hiding something from me?"
Adrian paused, his hand gripping the door frame, making a loud noise.
His face filled with anger, he looked at her harshly and said, "Who said that my grandmother wouldn't have anything to do with the person who chose to divorce me?" Eva was speechless.
"Are we done here?" Adrian stared at her angrily, with no desire to see her anymore.
His attitude made Eva extremely uncomfortable. "Fine, if you don't want to see me, then forget it."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away.
So what if her grandmother was his biological grandmother? If he didn't want her to see her, then she wouldn't go?
Since he came all the way to invest in her company, she would find an opportunity to visit her grandmother as well.
However, today's Adrian seemed off.
He had invested in her company, but when she came to find him, he seemed to want her to leave as soon as possible, never wanting to see her again.
And his pale lips and slightly damp forehead.
At this thought, Eva's steps suddenly halted.
Two seconds later, she quickly turned around.
She had only walked for a while, and Adrian shouldn't have had time to close the door yet. If...
No need for Eva to dwell on what would happen next, because she had already seen Adrian collapsing to the ground.
He collapsed right after closing the door.
