Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 286 I Don't Care
"So, big brother eats the buns to avoid wasting them, not because he likes them?" Ruby said surprised.
Dylan's facial expression seemed torn. Who would actually like eating burger buns?
"I'm sorry, Dylan. From now on, I'll eat the buns myself." Ruby's delicate features wrinkled at the thought of eating the burger buns, but she would even pick out the vegetables in the burgers if she had to. Every time, her big brother would eat them for her, so she thought he must like them.
As the two little ones discussed this matter, Adrian listened attentively. Laughing at the end, he said, "If you both don't want to eat them, shall I eat them for you?"
Although he didn't like those things either.
Burgers?
In Adrian's eyes, that kind of thing was junk food, but it seemed that many kids and young people liked them.
Of course, if Jacob next to him could hear his thoughts, he would surely look at him disdainfully and say, "Mr. Blackwood, aren't you a young person too?"
Both little ones turned to look at him upon hearing that comment.
Dylan remained cautious, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
But Ruby was different. Whether it was her natural extroversion or her weak wariness, she immediately accepted, "Okay, okay, it's settled, Uncle NightA. From now on, Dylan and I will eat the meat, and you can have the bun and vegetables." Adrian, who was originally going to agree, furrowed his brows slightly at the mention of vegetables. "Why don't you eat vegetables, little one?"
If she didn't want the burger buns, Adrian couldn't care less because he didn't consider them to be anything good.
But not eating vegetables?
"Uncle NightA, vegetables taste really that bad!" Ruby pouted.
"Even if they don't taste good, you still have to eat some for vitamin and nutrients and to keep your body healthy." Adrian explained. Perhaps as a father figure, Adrian quickly voiced what he wanted to say.
Unexpectedly, Ruby didn't seem pleased and pouted, "Uncle NightA, why are you the same as my mommy?"
Hearing her words, Adrian was taken aback.
Since his return yesterday, he hadn't he hadn't contacted her. Even as NightA, he did not reply to her messages.
It was probably because she avoided him and only messaged 'NightA', causing him to feel a bit disheartened at that moment.
Disappointment always comes suddenly, accompanied by other emotions, making him feel turmoil.
After a while, Adrian pursed his lips slightly and said, "Is that so? Well, your mommy is right."
"Anyway, I don't want to eat vegetables." Ruby whispered her position and then beckoned to Lucas, "Let's go."
Lucas liked this outgoing and cheerful girl very much, so when she called for him, he immediately followed her.
When they were far away, Dylan frowned and noticed Adrian's gaze on him. He glanced at Adrian.
The next moment, Adrian's large palm landed on the back of his head. "Go to class and I'll come see you at lunch."
Just as Dylan was about to speak, Adrian added, "Rest assured, with Uncle NightA around, you won't have to eat hamburger buns anymore." Hearing this, Dylan blushed instantly. "I, I don't mind."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran away.
This interaction made Adrian's thin lips curl slightly.
After a while, he took out his phone and replied to Eva's message.
Eva received his message before entering the meeting room and glanced at it. It was from NightA.
"Sorry, I had something urgent yesterday and couldn't make it."
He didn't come and she didn't go.
He apologized and she apologized too.
Eva couldn't be angry because she had no grounds. She could only reply with a question, "Do you still need this cash? Should I transfer it to you?" Originally, she thought he would refuse, but unexpectedly, he agreed this time. After a while, he provided her with an account number and a name. "George?"
Eva didn't think much about it and proceeded to transfer the money to that person's account while having some spare time.
After sending a message to inform the recipient, she then entered the meeting room.
Adrian explained the situation to Jacob when he received the money. Jacob immediately contacted George, who promptly transferred the money to Jacob upon learning about it. Although he really wanted those tens of thousands of dollars.
But what happened in the past few days made him feel a bit confused. After all, he had been in his workplace for so many years. Even though he didn't have the mind to be in management, there were still some things he could sense. For so long, the Blackwood family of New York had never contacted them. It was impossible to establish a relationship with them. Suddenly, they show up, offering to change their jobs, house, and even sending their children to the best school in the city.
It's impossible for there to be no reason behind it.
But he dared not inquire into the specific reason, nor did he need to, because people Adrian Blackwood would not harm someone as insignificant as George.
All he needed to do was enjoy the unexpectedly good life that had just fallen into his lap.
George quickly transferred the money he received to Jacob, who in turn transferren it into Adrian's account.
Going around in circles, the money Eva gave him went through two hands.
Although it was only a small amount.
But Adrian still stared at the numbers on his phone for a long time.
Until Jacob reminded him, "Mr. Blackwood, we should go."
Recently, he had been delayed with work because of this matter, but there was a branch office in Chicago, so working there recently was also an option.
Adrian snapped out of his thoughts and left with Jacob.
At noon, Adrian personally went to buy a cake, burgers, and some snacks recommended by the store staff, saying that children liked them, such as french fries, egg tarts, and various other things. These were things that Adrian had never encountered before.
When they were handed to him, he found that they smelled pretty good.
Everyone finished class and went to the school cafeteria to queue for food, except for Ruby, Dylan, Lucas, and Adrian who stayed together.
When Ruby smelled the aroma of her favorite junk food, her whole expression lit up, tugging at Adrian's sleeve. "Uncle NightA."
Although she didn't say she wanted to eat, her little expression had already given her away.
This Ruby made Adrian see a shadow that seemed to resemble Eva from his childhood. She used to like something and wouldn't say it directly, but would instead tug at his sleeve and look at him earnestly. "Uncle NightA?" Maybe because he didn't react for a long time, Ruby's puzzled expression brought him back to his senses.
Adrian snapped out of his memories and spoke in a nearly gentle voice, "What do you want to eat first?"
"Cake? Or maybe the burger!" Ruby said hesitantly.
Adrian took the things out of the bag and placed them on the table. Seeing that there was a big bag of things that she loved to eat, Ruby cheered, "Thank you, Uncle NightA!"
