Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 37

"You're right," Eva said. "The data they gave me has changed, which means my intuition was correct."

Eva nodded and didn't say anything else. She simply took the data back and neatly stacked it away.

After finishing, she remembered something and said to Adrian, "Actually, I think Granny is afraid of having surgery. You shouldn't have told her that the surgery would be moved up this afternoon." Adrian looked at her in surprise. "Really?"

"Yes," Eva replied.

He looked at her serious expression and suddenly realized that what she had said about caring for Granny wasn't just an act of rebellion.

She really did consider Granny as her own grandmother.

Realizing this, Adrian pulled his lips into a smile. "Okay, I understand now. I'll comfort her later."

Talking about Granny seemed to ease the tension between them for a while. But after they finished discussing the topic, silence fell between them once again.

The driver up front couldn't help but feel surprised by their behavior inside the car.

When they got into the car earlier, he thought they were going to have a heated argument any second because of how tense things were between them. But instead of fighting with each other, they started talking amiably about Granny Blackwood's condition.

The driver shook his head in confusion and decided to focus on driving instead since he couldn't make sense of their relationship dynamics anyway.

When they arrived at The Blackwood Family estate...

Eva got out of the car before Adrian did and walked straight up the stairs and into the house without hurrying or slowing down too much either way - leaving him behind shortly thereafter.

As soon as Eva entered through the door with an expressionless face, Adrian came in, not long after that, with a blank face too - both went upstairs together.

Since the wife returned home drenched from the rain that day; the atmosphere in this house seemed to have become very strange. The servants were all working more diligently and carefully, afraid that they might be used as punching bags by their master and mistress.

After both of them went upstairs, the servants couldn't help but gather together to discuss what was going on between their employers.

"Look at how they are acting. They must be getting a divorce soon," one said.

"What are you talking about? They probably just had a fight. But it's not like they're going to get divorced over it," another replied.

"Didn't you hear what happened that day? Mr. Blackwood only married his wife for show; he has someone else he likes now. If he doesn't divorce her, how is he supposed to marry the person he really loves?"

"That may be true, but after being married for so long, there must still be some love between them. Right? I think Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood won't get divorced."

"Well then I bet that they will definitely get divorced! You'll see - if not this month, then next month for sure!"

The group split into two factions and continued discussing the couple's marriage with great seriousness.

Eva went back to her room and began preparing for bed.

Her emotions had calmed down considerably by now since she'd been thinking about things during the ride home earlier.

Granny's surgery was coming up soon; Eva didn't need any unnecessary conflicts with Adrian at this time.

He had already said before that their marriage was fake anyway; if divorce was inevitable then whatever happened between Vivian and him would be normal too.

However, what Eva couldn't understand the most was why Adrian told Vivian about her pregnancy. It was confusing and frustrating for her. But looking at it from another perspective, Vivian was someone he liked, so naturally he would be sincere and open with her. Now Eva understands, but from her own point of view, she still cannot accept it. However, she has to maintain a calm demeanor during this time.

After she finished washing up, Eva saw Adrian lying on the sofa in the bedroom when she came out. He seemed tired as he had taken off his coat and closed his eyes while lying there. When he heard some noise, he opened his eyes and looked towards Eva's direction.

Eva was already looking at him when their eyes met unexpectedly. She felt embarrassed and quickly looked away but Adrian didn't mind it too much as he casually asked if she had finished washing up.

Eva responded with a muffled "yes" before Adrian said that he would go wash up too. Half an hour later, Adrian walked out of the bathroom while drying his wet hair with a towel before suddenly stopping in his tracks upon seeing Eva had fallen asleep on the bed.

She had propped a pillow behind her back and held a book in her hand while reading under the light of a table lamp before falling asleep after only flipping through several pages.

Adrian watched silently for a while before throwing his towel and walking over to her quietly. As he got closer to her side, Adrian gazed at Eva under the soft light of the lampshade which highlighted how beautiful her clear cold eyes were when not smiling like an icy spring found atop snow-capped mountains - or how lively they became whenever she did smile - like ripples on water sparkling brightly under sunlight during autumn afternoons.

Apart from these two sides of hers that were equally charming in their own ways; there was also another side of her that Adrian found even more captivating. Whenever she looked at him with a certain expression in her eyes, it was enough to drive him crazy.

Adrian's hand couldn't help but reach out and touch the bridge of Eva's nose before moving downwards towards her eyelids. The warmth from his fingertips instantly spread throughout his body as he felt a sudden jolt in his lower abdomen. He pursed his lips together while his eyes turned pitch black and deep. Suddenly, Eva's eyelids twitched under the pressure of Adrian's fingers which caused him to quickly retract them as if nothing had happened. However, before he could move away, Eva had already opened her eyes and their gazes met once again. Adrian: "

Eva gave him a strange look since she didn't notice what he did earlier so she asked curiously: "What are you doing here?"

Adrian calmly replied: "Just checking if you were asleep."

Eva realized that she must have fallen asleep during Adrian's washing up period after all. She coughed lightly before saying: "Maybe I was too tired from today."

She closed the book and then asked: "Have you finished washing up?"

"Uh-huh." Adrian sounded muffled while keeping an eye on her every move - trying to guess what was going through her mind.

Her attitude seems to have improved a lot compared to earlier in day.

After thinking about it and holding back, Adrian couldn't resist his desire and asked, "Are you not... angry with me?" "Adrian, let's call a truce."

Both of them spoke at the same time. Eva's words were short and fast, so Adrian couldn't say the rest of what he wanted to say before she interrupted him. "Truce?"

He didn't quite understand her meaning.
