Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 296 I'll just take it as you caring about me

Seeing that she finally agreed to have a meal, Jacob quickly brought over the prepared food.

Lunch was prepared in advance on his request, bought from a high-end restaurant, with beautiful presentation and even thermal insulation. When the lid was opened, the aroma filled the air.

Eva took a bite of the rice and then looked at Adrian's plate. Sure enough, there was rice in his dish too.

She frowned slightly and instinctively asked, "Can you eat rice now? Your stomach doesn't need to rest anymore?"

A silence engulfed the surroundings.

Before Adrian turned his gaze towards her, Eva quickly explained, "I was just asking because of our cooperation."

If she didn't explain, it would be fine, but once she did, her question seemed to have a hidden purpose.

As expected, Adrian's thin lips curled up slightly as he explained, "Is that so? I'll just take it as you caring about me then."

The negative emotions that arose from her earlier reluctance had completely vanished.

In Adrian's mind, there was only one thought.

She cared about him.

Although her behavior seemed awkward, this tiny bit of concern was enough to make Adrian delighted.

Seeing her silence, Adrian took the initiative to ask, "Doesn't rice nourish the stomach? I thought having three normal meals would be enough."

This question made Eva furrow her brows. "Of course, having three normal meals is fine, but didn't you have a gastric bleeding episode recently? Your stomach is still in a fragile state, so it's best to avoid eating these things during the recovery period."

"What should I eat, then?" he asked humbly.

"Liquid food, easily digestible, vegetables and fruits. But be mindful of the intake; don't eat too much. It's best to have smaller meals more frequently," Eva explained.

When she first went abroad, her father had a bout of gastric illness, and she took care of him during that time. That's why Eva was able to bring appropriate food to the hospital when Adrian had gastric bleeding and stayed there.

Adrian wondered about something for a moment before asking, "Like the ones you brought to the hospital last time?"

Suddenly reminded of the incident, Eva wasn't sure what he had in mind, but she nodded nonetheless. "Something like that."

"Okay, I'll have Jacob take note of it," Adrian nodded.

Eva took a bite of rice, but her brows remained furrowed.

Even if he didn't understand these things, Vivian beside him couldn't possibly be ignorant. And during this period, why hadn't Eva seen Vivian at all? Could it be that she didn't even know about his gastric bleeding? The relationship between the two of them...

Thinking of this, Eva abruptly interrupted the strange thoughts in her mind.

I can't think about it anymore!

Her and Adrian's relationship was already a thing of the past, and none of these matters concerned her anymore.

Why should she trouble herself unnecessarily?

After clearing her mind of these unnecessary thoughts, Eva refocused on her work, without any distractions.

Perhaps due to the change in her mindset, her aura seemed to shift slightly.

Adrian could sense the coldness emanating from her and his expression also darkened.

Just a moment ago, everything was fine, so how did it suddenly change?

Eva had an easily influential hold over Adrian's thoughts, which is why even when she finished the proposal and handed it to him, Adrian's gaze was still fixed on her face. "What...is wrong with you?" Hearing his words, a trace of confusion flashed in Eva's eyes. "What do you mean?"

Adrian tightened his lips, then took out a spare notebook after a moment, not saying anything more.

As Adrian examined the proposal, Eva silently waited by his side.

Adrian quickly skimmed through it, intending to find some issues to make her stay.

But this woman, Eva, learned things excessively fast, and coupled with the fact that he had been observing her during the writing process, he truly couldn't find a single mistake. Finally, Adrian managed to spot a typo. "There's a mistake here."

Without hesitation, Eva leaned in. "Where?"

As Adrian moved his mouse, Eva followed his gaze until he pointed to a specific word.

At first, Eva was taken aback and didn't understand what Adrian meant, so she asked, "What's wrong with this part?"

"It's 'collaborate', not 'collabroate'," Adrian calmly corrected her.

Upon hearing this, Eva realized her mistake. She gave Adrian a glance, amazed that he could spot such a small error in a chunk of text.

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention," Eva said as she took back her notebook to make the correction and then handed it over again. "Any other issues?"

Adrian browsed through it again, and during the waiting time, Eva felt a bit bored and had the urge to yawn. However, for the sake of her company, she had to cover her mouth and nose with her hand, suppressing the yawn. After what seemed like a long wait, Adrian finally pointed out another mistake. "Grammatical error."

Eva found it hard to believe what she had just heard and gave Adrian another look.

But thinking about it, it made sense. He was always strict with his work, so it was normal for him to find linguistic flaws and typos in her writing. It was her own fault for not being meticulous enough and letting him discover the issues. So she made the necessary corrections to the sentence and handed it back.

A few minutes later.

"There's also a problem with this sentence," Adrian pointed out.

Eva continued to make changes.

A few more minutes passed.

"This part needs to be paragraphed. The text is too dense, affecting the readability," Adrian continued.

Eva bit her lip, enduring it.

After several repetitions of irrelevant incidents, when he started reviewing her proposal for the fifth time, Eva couldn't help but ask, "Are there no more important issues?"

He kept pointing out these minor flaws. Was he really fine?

Upon hearing this, Adrian's movements paused momentarily, and he glanced at her. "You think these aren't important?"

"I didn't mean that. I just..." Eva's voice grew weaker.

Adrian asked, "Just what?"

Facing his cold gaze, Eva pursed her lips and finally said, "It's nothing. You can continue reviewing, and I'll make improvements if needed."

Adrian withdrew his gaze.

Eva waited beside him.

Perhaps she had been too focused while writing the proposal, causing her to become sleepier. Earlier, she was able to control her yawns.

But now, she couldn't control them at all.

Eva continued to cover her mouth and nose with her hand, but this time, she couldn't hold back the yawn. The sound was faint, but in the silent office where only the sound of mouse scrolling could be heard, it was still audible. Adrian's movements paused slightly, and he turned to look at her, catching sight of Eva's teary eyes as she yawned for the second time. He felt a slight flutter in his heart, and unconsciously, his voice softened a bit. "Tired?" Eva didn't expect that even a simple yawn would attract his attention. She quickly waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, please continue reviewing. If there's any issue, let me know, and I can make the necessary changes." "No need. When a person is tired, their brain is more likely to be sluggish. Even if they forcefully come up with something, it's highly likely to be unusable."

After saying that, Adrian closed his notebook with a firm snap.
