Even without standing in Eva's shoes, it was clear that she couldn't accept Vivian's proposal. But Eva was Eva, not Vivian. She could only think about what had already happened from her own perspective.

"It's a shame that I'm not such a great person with a spirit of sacrifice. The child is inside my body, whether to give birth or terminate the pregnancy is entirely up to me. Besides me, no one can decide the life and death of my child." "You..."

"If you want me to repay your kindness, I can do so by helping you with other things as long as they are reasonable. But this particular matter is out of the question."

Her baby was her own flesh and blood; she herself couldn't bear to terminate the pregnancy. How could an outsider decide on the life and death of her baby?

"I'll ask you to do something for me, will you do it?"

"Yes, as long as it's reasonable."

Gratitude must be repaid but if her request was too unreasonable then there would be no need for consideration.

Vivian pondered over this situation.

Before coming to meet Eva, she had already anticipated that Eva wouldn't easily agree with her proposal.

Adrian was someone who held power within the Blackwood family; his wealth, character and personal qualities were all top-notch.

In Vivian's eyes there were hardly any men in this world who could match Adrian in terms of these qualities.

Who wouldn't covet such a man? Who would willingly let go once they got him?

And what about Eva? Her family went bankrupt and now she relied on Adrian like he was her savior lifeline; if she became Mrs. Blackwood then she would have climbed up onto a branch and directly crossed social classes. If she were willing to let go, then perhaps she wouldn't have become pregnant at all.

Now this child might just be a bargaining chip for her to use against Adrian, and Vivian couldn't let such a chip exist. Otherwise, not only would their future be uncertain but even the possibility of divorce was unclear. But she herself didn't want to terminate the pregnancy so Vivian had to find another way.

And currently, the most important thing was to stabilize Eva.

Thinking about this, Vivian smiled gently and said: "It's too cruel for you to terminate your pregnancy. I can't bear it either. So why don't we sign an agreement instead?" "Agreement?"

Vivian put on a very 'considerate' look and pushed a glass of warm milk towards Eva: "You can't drink anything else right now; the milk is warm, have some."

Eva glanced at her and noticed that she had resumed wearing her mask again.

"What? Are you afraid that I'll drug your milk?" Vivian laughed: "Eva, rest assured if I wanted to do something as despicable as that then I wouldn't have met up with you directly."

Eva withdrew her gaze without continuing this topic and asked directly: "What kind of agreement was it, that you're thinking off, you mentioned earlier?"

Vivian smiled: "Looks like you really don't want me around for long."

"Why? Don't you want us to finish things quickly?"

"Of course, I do."

As she spoke, Vivian took out a leather bag from her tote bag and handed it over to Eva.

"This is the agreement; take a look at it."

Eva took it expressionlessly.

Seeing how calm she looked made Vivian feel frustrated. Even though there wasn't any better solution available at present time but how could Eva remain so composed in such circumstances? What exactly was supporting her? She thought back many years ago when Eva jumped into the river without hesitation despite its danger. Her expression showed no signs of hesitation whatsoever. It was completely different from Vivian who looked panicked and didn't know how to handle the situation.

In every dream where Adrian appeared, darkness corroded her nerves and she could clearly see herself compared to Eva.

In front of others, Vivian received praise for sacrificing herself to save Adrian's life.

After Adrian's accident, Vivian was just a clown under Eva's spotlight. The more she tried to save him without hesitation, the more despicable and shameless she appeared in taking credit for herself.

Outsiders thought that Vivian was pure and noble with precious character, but in reality...

Don't think about it, don't think about it.

The incident has passed and now everyone knows that Vivian is Adrian's savior. Adrian himself also thinks so.

And the only person who knows the truth, Eva, lost her precious memory during that illness and will never be able to remember it again in this lifetime.

"I have an issue with this agreement."

Eva's clear and cold voice brought Vivian back to reality. Eva's face overlapped with her past self before separating again.

The young girl from the past had a delicate and bright face while today's Eva was somewhat aloof but still stunningly beautiful.

Vivian forced out a smile. "What issue?"

Eva glanced at her then lowered her head to look at the contract once more.

Actually, although Vivian's agreement seemed convoluted on paper, it all revolved around several points:

Firstly, after divorce she must leave the USA immediately and cannot return within five years;

Secondly, she is not allowed to bring up their child or use their child as leverage when talking to Adrian;

Thirdly, before divorce there can be no intimate contact between her and Adrian;

Fourthly, Vivian would give her money if she wanted to raise their child alone until adulthood.

Under Vivian's gaze, Eva lightly tapped on the table with her fingertips before slowly speaking, "Why am I not allowed to talk about our child in front of Adrian?"

Hearing this, Vivian's pupils shrank slightly. She added this clause recklessly. Eva wasn't stupid, she would definitely become suspicious upon seeing it. However, Vivian had to use this clause to suppress her. Otherwise, if Eva stayed with Adrian every day and accidentally let slip about their child, what would happen?

After much thought, Vivian decided to take a gamble. After all, she held evidence against Eva. If she didn't agree, Vivian still had other means.

So in order to make Eva believe her, Vivian had already prepared an excuse. She looked into Eva's eyes and said softly, "I'm doing it for your own good."

Eva: "?"

Vivian took a sip of coffee and added disdainfully, "Actually, you two were childhood sweethearts. Even if he doesn't have romantic feelings towards you, there is still friendship between you both. Otherwise, why would he help you? But in the future, he will be with me. A child that Isn't his not only stands between us but also acts as a thorn between you two. He cares about this matter very much. Do you understand now? Most importantly..."

Vivian paused before delivering the final blow.

"I'm afraid that if you say too much, what if he decides to take the child away from you later on? Eva, I really don't have any interest in raising someone else's child."
