Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 376 You Will Definitely Be Happy

When Eva woke up, everything around her was peaceful. The sunlight carried a warm feeling, and a gentle breeze brushed against her face.

After enjoying the breeze for a while, Eva closed the window and headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

After Adrian left last night, she thought she might have trouble sleeping because she had remembered things from the past. However, she surprisingly slept well. She thought about a lot of things right before lying down, but then effortlessly fell asleep.

Just as Eva put the bread into the toaster, she heard the doorbell ring. Eva paused, wondering who it could be at this hour?

She walked up to the monitor and saw an unexpected figure. A few seconds later, she opened the door.

"Michael, what are you doing here?"

Michael stood at the doorway, flashed her a smile, and spoke softly, "What? I haven't seen you in so long, are you not happy to see me anymore?"

"How could that be..." Eva smiled and then turned to let him in.

Michael walked into the house, discreetly scanning the surroundings, and then, as usual, opened the shoe cabinet to change his shoes.

"It's the weekend today. Do you and the kids need to go out?"

"The weekend?" Eva had actually forgotten it was indeed the weekend. But it didn't matter since she and the kids didn't sleep in, even on weekends, maintaining a good routine.

Hearing her words, Michael's movements paused. After a moment, he finished changing his shoes, then looked up at her. "Seems like you've been too busy with work to even know it's the weekend?"

Eva could only awkwardly smile.

Since she said those harsh words to him last time, Eva felt a bit uncomfortable being around him. After all, she had said so many unpleasant things to refuse him. And she thought Michael wouldn't come calling on her anymore. Michael could see her restrained manner at this moment.

"Although we can't be lovers anymore, we can still be friends, right?" Michael suddenly asked after standing still.

Hearing this, Eva snapped back to reality and instinctively nodded her head. "Of course, we can be friends if you want."

Friends forever?

Forever...

Michael slightly pursed his thin lips and looked at her intently. "But what if I say I don't want to?"

Eva showed a shocked expression. "What?"

"What I mean is, if I don't want to be friends with you, are you planning to treat me as a stranger from now on?"

A stranger...

That's what Eva used to think, as long as he could give up. So, she didn't mind being a bit heartless. But now... why does he still seem persistent?

Eva anxiously bit her lower lip. Just then, Michael reached out and ruffled her head, speaking in a cheerful tone.

"I was just kidding, why are you so nervous? Can't friends joke around?"

Hearing his words, Eva looked up at Michael and saw his warm and radiant smile. She couldn't help but smile along with him.

If he's willing to be friends, then that's great.

After all, she didn't want to lose him as a friend unless it was absolutely necessary.

"So, your friend Michael wants to invite the three of you to go out today. Is that okay?"

Having the opportunity to return to being friends from an awkward relationship, Eva certainly wanted to agree, but then she thought about Adrian's good news that she had been told to wait for today, and hesitated. What if he came looking for her and she wasn't at home?

"Not convenient?"

Seeing her silence and getting lost in her thoughts, the glimmer in Michael's eyes behind his lenses flashed subtly, and his thin lips tightened with displeasure.

Was she trying to reject him?

Was he too late?

After a while, Eva looked up and smiled.

"There's no inconvenience. Thank you for still considering me a friend. Of course, I can go."

Eva thought that Adrian would need some time to sort things out and she would return quickly after taking the kids out to play.

Even if he came to her house and couldn't find her, he would call her.

She could explain it then.

With this in mind, Eva accepted Michael's invitation.

Relieved that she had agreed, Michael asked, "What about Dylan and Ruby? It's been a while since I last saw them. Do those little ones miss me?"

Since they had restored their friendship, Eva's mood had lightened considerably. As he asked this, she smiled and said, "Why don't you ask them yourself later? It should be quite a surprise."

In the morning sunlight, Eva's smile was radiant, and the sparkle in her eyes shone like shattered stardust, so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

He had wanted to have her since his teenage years.

But unfortunately, she had never seen him in that way. Later, when he finally thought he had a chance, he hadn't expected to be rejected despite 5 years of effort.

Michael's eyes dimmed for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

"Okay, I'll ask them later myself."

"By the way, where are we going today?" She asked the main question on her mind.

"Let's go for a picnic. I've already had someone set up the tent on the way here."

Upon hearing this, Eva was taken aback. He had already arranged for the tent even before she accepted the invitation. What if she had declined? Wouldn't it have been all for nothing?

"Alright. Oh, my father mentioned recently that your family is planning an arranged marriage for you. Is that true?"

When she mentioned the arranged marriage, Michael's fingers tightened slightly, but then he smiled and said, "Yes, they are looking for some potential matches for me."

"And how is it going? Have you found anyone you like?"

Michael glanced at Eva and noticed that when she asked these questions, her tone was light and cheerful, as if she was asking about something completely ordinary, showing no interest in his family's efforts to find a match for him. Even if she was asking, it was probably just out of friendly interest.

Just thinking this, Michael felt a hint of relief in his heart.

The dull ache was slowly numbing, and he tugged at his lips, gently speaking.

"Not yet, but no rush. They're going to take it slow, until we find someone I like."

Eva felt comforted by these words. "That's good. I'm genuinely happy for you. You will definitely meet someone you like, and you'll be happy in the future."

Hearing this, Michael turned his head to look at the fair cheek and delicate profile of the woman. He gazed at her fixedly for a while before saying, "Yes, I will definitely meet someone I like, and I will be happy."

But happiness is something one needs to strive for, for oneself.

Seeing her take out the freshly baked bread and pour a couple of glasses of milk, she asked, "Would you like to have something to eat with us?"

"Sure."

"By the way, we don't have many ingredients at home for a picnic. How about later..."

"It's okay. I've already made all the preparations in advance. No need to prepare anything, we just need to go out."

Eva found it a little strange to hear that he had already prepared everything.

"Well then, I won't prepare anything."

"I'll go check on Dylan and Ruby." Michael said, then quickly went into the room.
