When the name Vivian was mentioned, a strange silence fell over the car.

It seemed like an unbridgeable gap between the two of them. After hearing Vivian's name, Adrian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Her and I..."

Eva turned her head and coldly interrupted, "I don't care about you and her. I just hope you won't bother me any more."

Adrian's face turned cold upon hearing this. "Who was it that said we should part on good terms? Eva, is this your idea of parting on good terms? Or is there something you're hiding from me, something that makes you not want to part with me on good terms?"

As Adrian finished speaking, his gaze firmly locked onto Eva.

Sure enough, although Eva maintained her calm demeanor, a flicker of panic quickly crossed her eyes. It was so fleeting that if he wasn't staring at her intently, he might have missed it.

With regained composure, Eva turned her head to face him.

"Did I say that? I don't remember." she calmly said as she steadily looked at him. "Do you have any evidence to prove that I said it?"

For a moment, Adrian and Eva's cold gazes met before he suddenly chuckled, "Are you trying to play innocent?"

"If I didn't say it, how can it be considered playing innocent?" Eva retorted.

"Fine." Adrian nonchalantly shrugged and smirked, "Let's pretend you never said it, as it doesn't really matter to me now. It doesn't affect my decision."

Indeed, no matter how Eva tried to play innocent, it wouldn't work if this man wanted to continue to bother her. He certainly wouldn't give up just because of a few words.

Eva suddenly felt that coming back to America to develop her career was a wrong decision. Perhaps, when she decided to return, she should have left her children abroad and come back to start her own business first. But she couldn't bear to separate herself from them.

They had already missed out on so much care and affection growing up, and if their mother were to leave them too...

Eva fell silent and turned quietly towards the car window. Then, she took out her phone, intending to send a message that she couldn't make it to NightA.

Or perhaps she could reschedule for later. She had to let him know that she wasn't available now.

She carefully composed the message.

Meanwhile, Adrian, who noticed her sudden silence and saw her facing the window with her phone in her hand, vaguely caught a glimpse of the WhatsApp interface she opened.

At first, Adrian remained calm.

But soon, he realized what she was about to do, and his expression turned fierce.

Under normal circumstances, his phone wouldn't be on silent mode. If she sent a message to NightA now...

Just as she was about to press send, Adrian coldly shouted her name, "Eva!"

His tone was urgent, which startled Eva. Her hand trembled, and she nearly dropped her phone.

Frowning, she looked at him displeased.

Adrian's face grew serious. "Who are you messaging?"

Hearing this, Eva's expression changed slightly. She casually closed the screen and put her phone away, acting as if nothing had happened. "Why does it matter to you?"

She originally thought that Adrian, being unreasonable, would snatch her phone away. But she didn't expect him to just glare at her darkly without attempting to take her phone. Coincidentally, at that moment, the driver spoke up, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Mr. Blackwood, where are we going to?"

Upon hearing this, Adrian slowly turned his gaze and said in a deep voice, "To the car dealership."

After a short while of driving, Adrian subtly took out his phone and put it on silent mode.

This way, he wouldn't have to worry about her sending him any messages.

Actually, Eva had no idea what Adrian wanted to do, and she didn't have time to pay attention to him because she had other things on her mind.

Although she arrived early for the arranged transaction, if NightA couldn't find her after he arrived, he would probably call her.

With Adrian being so persistent, there was no way she could hand over the cash to NightA today.

But there was no choice. Her children were more important than him.

So, Eva silently set her phone to silent mode as well.

Eva had already chosen a practical car. The car she had her eyes on was not expensive, just an ordinary mode of transportation. Although its performance wasn't great, it was definitely one of the best within the price range she was considering. However, when Adrian saw it, he immediately disapproved, saying, "This one you've picked is not good enough, its performance is too poor."

He then informed the staff of a specific car brand he preferred for her.

Hearing the brand name, Eva frowned. "I can't afford that."

"I'll give it to you." Adrian said with a cheerful tone, which only deepened Eva's frown.

"I don't need it." Eva replied.

"Why not? Having a good mode of transportation for the company's business partners ensures better work, doesn't it?" Adrian argued.

Upon hearing this, Eva looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Really? So does that mean you'll be giving a car to every business partner of your company?"

Adrian silently looked at her and replied, "If they were like you, it wouldn't be a problem."

Eva twitched her lips, uninterested in further argument, and instead turned to the salesperson, saying, "Sorry, I'd like to try the car I mentioned earlier."

The salesperson, who had overheard their conversation and understood that the one who paid had the final say, immediately said to Eva, "Miss, please follow me."

The salesperson decided to consider the buyer's preference. Although, they also wanted to sell a luxury car, the commission for selling one was much higher. But they had to consider the buyer's preference as well.

As expected, seeing the salesperson's quick reaction, Eva was quite satisfied and quickly followed behind them. "As long as I find it suitable during the test drive, I'll pay and take the car right away."

The car salesperson nodded with a smile, "Alright."

Meanwhile, Adrian was left behind with a sullen face.

After a moment, he caught up with his long strides.

"Miss, this is the one you mentioned. First, take a look at its exterior. If it's to your liking, then we can proceed." The salesperson advised.

"Well, the appearance is good. Can I test drive it now? And then, if there's no problem, can I make the payment right away?" Eva nodded.

There were few car buyers like Eva, and it was evident that she was genuinely eager to make the transaction. The salesperson was also momentarily taken aback and nodded after a while, "Of course." Afterward, Eva took the car key and just as she was about to get in, someone sat in the passenger seat.

Eva saw Adrian and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Adrian leisurely fastened his seatbelt and asked, "How good are your driving skills?"

Upon hearing this, Eva smirked, "Not good"

"Oh?" Adrian raised an eyebrow, "I've never been in a car driven by a road killer. I'll give it a try today."
