Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 293 Have We Forgotten Our Relationship?
It had always been like this.
Dylan automatically perceived himself as the older brother. Coupled with Ruby's gluttony, love for play, and excessive energy, he naturally became quiet.
His gaze always focused on his little sister, watching over her to prevent her from speaking carelessly or getting hurt.
But now Adrian said something like this to him.
When a tinge of warmth appeared in the little guy's eyes, his strong sense of pride quickly made him lower his head, afraid that others might see his expression. How could Adrian not understand his emotions?
It was also at this moment that he realized, despite being young, children also have their own dignity.
He must respect that.
Realizing this, Adrian whispered softly, "Go inside now, Ruby must be waiting anxiously."
"Mhm." The little guy nodded, then turned around and went inside.
However, this time, he took several steps before turning back to give Adrian a glance. "Uncle, I... I will keep your secret."
"Is that so? Then, thank you, Dylan," Adrian's lips curved into a wider smile as he waited for Dylan to continue.
Once he disappeared from his sight, his lips gradually straightened, but soon after, they curled up again.
Unexpectedly, those few words brought about an unexpected joy.
With Dylan keeping his secret, their relationship grew closer.
At this moment, Eva still had no idea that even Dylan had been turned, and she continued to work diligently.
During this time, Eva had become much more relaxed in managing interpersonal relationships.
Since that day, Michael hadn't come to see her again.
He hadn't sent her any messages either, as if he had evaporated from the world.
This surprised Eva because she had intended to say even harsher words if Michael were to come looking for her again. Luckily, he didn't, because if Michael did find her again, she wasn't sure if she could say those hurtful things again.
But what surprised her even more was Adrian.
After the day when they went to see the car, he hadn't reached out to her again.
Although she didn't know what had happened that day to make Adrian disappear suddenly, this outcome was for the best.
Her surroundings would slowly regain tranquility.
Now that Ruby and Dylan were still young, in a few years, when the two children grew up and her company stabilized, things would be much easier for her. Lost in her thoughts, her phone rang.
Eva took it out and glanced at it, her expression instantly changing.
Although she didn't save his contact information, Eva had only glanced at this phone number a few times and remembered it.
Just when she was thinking that he had finally disappeared from her life, his phone call came in the next second.
Indeed, there were some things one shouldn't think about, right?
Eva pondered for a moment before simply putting her phone on silent and placing it on the desk next to her.
She didn't want any further entanglement with him now.
After muting her phone, the office regained its silence, and Eva threw herself into her work.
To her surprise, a few minutes later, Tim knocked on her office door.
Upon hearing the sound, Eva averted her gaze from the screen. "What's up?"
Tim nodded and walked up to her, handing her his phone. "There's a call for you." Eva thought she misheard.
Her phone? How could her phone end up with Tim?
So Eva asked with her eyes, but Tim shook his head and passed the phone forward. Helplessly, Eva took the phone.
Upon seeing the number on the screen, Eva's expression darkened.
Adrian!
If she didn't answer his call, he would dial her company employee's phone?
What did he mean by this?
Eva immediately became furious and exclaimed, "Adrian, do you think this is funny?"
The response on the other end was a long silence.
And as Tim witnessed her angered state, his scalp began to tingle.
Although he knew that Eva had a previous marriage with Adrian, their relationship should be very close.
However, at this moment, he dared not say a word and could only hold his breath, trying to lower his presence.
Seeing the silence on the other end, Eva had no intention of just hanging up the phone. She urged, "Say something?" After her persistence, a deep voice finally sounded on the other end. "What do you want me to say?"
"Why did you call the employee of my company?" Eva interrogated.
Adrian countered with a question, "Then why didn't you answer the phone?"
"Why should I answer your call?" Eva snorted.
After a long pause, Adrian chuckled lightly and said, "Eva, did you think I was calling you in a personal capacity?"
"Forgot what our relationship is?" Adrian's tone sounded somewhat casual, reminding her, "Do I need to remind you?"
Hearing this, the anger that had rushed to Eva's head instantly dissipated.
Adrian was now an investor in her company.
But soon, she composed herself and coldly said, "So what? Even if we have a cooperative relationship, you don't need to call my employees, do you? Does our cooperation contract include harassing employees?" Adrian chuckled softly. "Then does our contract include not answering calls from investors?"
Eva pursed her lips and didn't respond.
"Do I need to remind you? The design proposal still hasn't been delivered," Adrian's indifferent tone and the content of his words made Eva fully sober.
The cooperative proposal?
She suddenly looked at Tim, who couldn't hear their conversation, but his eyes showed confusion after being looked at by her.
Eva realized something and said, "Sorry, I'll give you an answer after I check it."
"Okay," Adrian replied.
After hanging up the phone, Eva returned the mobile phone to Tim. "Have you already sent our design proposal to the Blackwood family?"
Upon hearing this, Tim became even more confused. "Isn't that your responsibility?"
Eva was also confused. "Is it my responsibility? Isn't it yours?"
Tim blinked his eyes and said matter-of-factly, "But you're the boss. Didn't you say you've moved on from him a long time ago? I thought you would personally take care of it."
If they continued, they would end up discussing her feelings again, and Eva didn't want to discuss this issue with her employee anymore. "I understand, I will handle it. You can go back to work." "Okay," Tim returned to his workstation.
After Tim left, Eva sighed and leaned back on the chair, helpless.
So he called just for the design proposal?
