"Well, truce." Eva nodded gently. "Can we go back to how things were before?"

Back to how things were before?

Adrian's heart leaped with joy because of her words; he didn't even realize that he was stuttering. "You mean..."

Eva glanced at him and then lowered her eyes seriously as she spoke: "On our way back just now I thought carefully about it. Grandma's emotions seem stable now, and those small changes don't seem like they will cause any problems yet but there is still half a month until surgery. We don't need to argue at this point in time so as not to let grandma see anything wrong which could affect her."

Hearing this, Adrian felt like he understood something.

"What do you mean..."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? This is a critical time for us right now, we need to cooperate well together. Once these two weeks are over, you can do whatever you want without anyone or anything holding you back." Eva felt that she had made herself very clear.

"You're smart enough; You should understand what I'm saying."

Upon hearing this, Adrian pulled his lips up slightly - yes! How could he not understand?

In other words, she wasn't trying to make peace with him nor was she angry with him any longer; rather, it was only because of grandma that they had to call a truce.

But what could he say? After all, she was doing it for grandma's sake.

Adrian smiled bitterly in his heart. He was simply throwing stones at himself.

He lowered his voice and said, "Okay."

Looking at Adrian's current appearance, Eva moved her red lips but decided not to discuss the matter of keeping the child with him. She thought that Vivian already knew about her thoughts and would pass them on to him; perhaps he agreed since he didn't bring up the topic again.

She gave him some credit for that.

Eva lifted the covers and then got out of bed. She opened the closet door and looked at the long pillow lying in the corner. This pillow had been used as a boundary between her and Adrian on their bed for quite some time until one day it suddenly disappeared, causing them to become inseparable from each other.

Now...

It was going to be used again.

Eva took it out and put it back in the middle of the bed. Adrian saw this scene, making his already unpleasant expression even more unsightly than before. What exactly was he hoping for?

Since this woman declared a truce with him earlier, he thought that their relationship could return to how things were before they fought.

After finishing, Eva turned around and found that Adrian was still standing there motionless with a seemingly unpleasant expression on his face. She didn't want to guess what he was thinking anymore, so she could only ask, "Aren't you going to sleep? I'll go ahead and sleep then, you can turn off the lights later."

Without waiting for his answer, Eva lay down directly in front of Adrian and closed her eyes while covering herself with a blanket.

Adrian: "..."

He looked at the long pillow in the middle of the bed for a long time before snickering sarcastically. Then he walked over with an ominous expression and lay down stiffly like a corpse.

After turning off the light, the room fell into darkness which made their senses infinitely magnified. Adrian breathed heavily and couldn't fall asleep at all while hearing Eva's even breathing beside him after just a short while.

-

Unable to resist any longer, Adrian turned his head towards Eva's direction in the dark for quite some time until he wasn't sure what he was thinking about.

After reaching a ceasefire agreement between them, they no longer had cold wars at home. After waking up as usual one day, Eva came over to help tie Adrian's tie when she saw him getting dressed.

Adrian's eyes were full of anger because although she slept soundly next to him last night but it seemed like he himself hadn't slept well throughout most of it until dawn broke whereupon he finally felt drowsy.

He dozed off for a while but woke up again upon hearing her get out of bed too.

Because he hadn't slept well coupled with her reaction making him unhappy; this unhappiness had nowhere else to vent so Adrian's movements became somewhat rough when dressing up - especially impatient when tying his tie without much patience left whatsoever.

Unexpectedly though during such moments is when she would come over to help him tie his tie.

"I'll do it," she said softly.

Hearing her, Adrian lowered his eyes and stared at her intently. Eva deliberately avoided his sharp gaze and whispered again, "Bend down or I won't be able to reach."

Adrian pursed his lips flatly while calculating something in his heart but stubbornly refused to bend over.

Eva couldn't help looking at him.

"Finally willing to look me in the eye?" Adrian smirked.

Eva: ""

What's wrong with him? Weren't they chatting well last night? What happened now?

Adrian didn't know what was going on either; he had become very strange lately - easily irritable, wanting to see her yet not wanting to see her, wanting her to approach him actively but then unable to resist poking fun at her when she did so. "Adrian, don't be like this. We agreed yesterday that there is only half a month left so we should cooperate."

Hearing this, Adrian frowned and took a step back before pursing his lips again saying: "No need for that. When there are no servants around next time, you don't have to act so 'enthusiastically'."

After speaking he turned away and left.

Eva stood still for a while before laughing out of anger. It was simply unreasonable!

She didn't wait for Adrian but went downstairs by herself for breakfast instead, after a while he came down too.

Because of the tie incident earlier Eva was angry upon seeing him come down as well, thus ignoring him completely. All the maids who were originally in the living room quietly retreated into the kitchen upon seeing Adrian coming downstairs. They gossiped together near the door watching as Adrian strode towards Eva's side before sitting down beside her. Everyone: "??"

"Have the husband and wife reconciled?"

"They didn't have breakfast together before today, but today the husband actually took the initiative to sit next to his wife."

"Haven't you heard of a saying? Couples always make up after quarreling. They had such a good relationship before and slept together every day. They will definitely reconcile."

Adrian sat down calmly next to Eva with a stern face.

As soon as he sat down, Eva felt a cold breath emanating from him. She didn't even need to turn her head to feel how unwilling he was.

Although Eva felt slightly uncomfortable in her heart, she quickly suppressed it.

Half a month left, just half a month.

She could leave here soon. She endured everything for her grandmother, for her baby, and for herself.

After preparing herself mentally, Eva gently poured Adrian a glass of milk with a gentle expression on her face. When Adrian looked at her, she smiled slightly and said, "Good morning hubby."

Adrian: "......"

He clenched his teeth instantly.

She really doesn't care at all, does she?"
