Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 41
"Eva remained silent.
Sitting across from her, Vivian's heart was pounding, but she pretended to be calm on the surface. She didn't know if the words she had said would scare Eva or not. She didn't know much about Eva, but if there was one thing she knew, it was that Eva had a very high self-esteem. So, Vivian could only approach this from that angle and take a gamble.
Seeing that Eva wasn't speaking, Vivian's hands under the table were sweating profusely. She forced a smile and asked, "What? You don't agree?"
Upon hearing this, Eva glanced at her lightly and said nonchalantly, "You seem nervous?"
"I'm not nervous. I just..."
Being interrupted by Eva like that almost made Vivian lose her composure. She quickly hit the brakes halfway through and said slowly, "Okay then, you can think about it."
At this point in time, Vivian really wished that Eva would make a quick decision as she had previously mentioned. Wouldn't it be great? But instead, Eva fell into deep thought.
In fact, this agreement meant nothing to her whether signed or unsigned because even without signing it, she could still do everything else except for leaving the country within five years, which is something she hadn't decided yet. But surely, it will be far away from Adrian.
"How is it going?"
Although she told her to take her time thinking, Eva took too long so Vivian couldn't help but ask tentatively.
Not knowing whether it was intentional or not, Eva couldn't resist asking back, "Aren't you supposed to be calm? Why are you so anxious now? Is there something wrong with this agreement?"
Vivian: "..."
Until Eva signs, the best course of action for Vivian was to maintain the smile on her lips. "Okay, you can take your time. I'm just a little impatient."
Eva glanced at her and became even more calm and composed.
"As long as we follow the conditions above, everything between us will be settled?"
Vivian immediately nodded, "Yes."
"Okay."
Hearing that she said okay, Vivian handed her a pen, "Then sign it."
Eva looked at the pen for a moment before taking it from Vivian's hand. But instead of signing it, she played with the pen in her hand.
She spun the pen around in different patterns while Vivian held her breath nervously.
It wasn't until Vivian's mental defense line was about to collapse that Eva finally raised an eyebrow and said, "I won't sign this agreement."
In that instant, Vivian widened her eyes suddenly, "What do you mean? You won't sign it?"
Eva threw down the pen in her hand onto the table with a loud sound. She calmly leaned back.
"Well, I won't sign this kind of private agreement."
Without any legal representation or public notarization, Eva would never have signed such an inexplicable agreement. Was it because she owed someone something? She could repay favors, but she wouldn't sell herself out just to do so. Vivian reacted strongly: "Eva, what does this mean? Are you trying to trick me?"
"No." Eva shook her head and said seriously, "Although I won't sign the agreement, I will fulfill all the requirements you mentioned."
At this point, Eva paused for a moment and then slowly said, "If you didn't make this agreement to trick me, then it doesn't matter whether I sign it or not."
Vivian restrained her anger with an ugly smile.
"Eva, are you overthinking? How could I possibly trick you? If I wanted to trick you, I wouldn't have chosen to help you in the first place. Don't misunderstand me, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Eva smiled: "Is that so? Then what are you afraid of?"
"Afraid?" Vivian didn't quite understand what she meant.
"Aren't you his savior? You must lack confidence in him if you require me to sign this agreement."
Hearing this mention of her being his savior from Eva's mouth made Vivian feel uneasy. She was afraid that as she continued talking about it more memories would resurface. Suppressing her anger caused a distortion on Vivian's usually beautiful face: "If it weren't for your insistence on keeping this child alive do I need to prepare such an agreement?" After speaking harshly like that Vivian returned to looking gentle again and said to Eva: "Anyway trust me; I won't deceive you."
Eva did not expect such a sudden change in attitude today.
She had never seen anything like it before. After seeing it firsthand she couldn't help but marvel at how quickly Vivian changed faces.
Thinking about this made Eva curl up her lips: "Then please trust me too. Even if I don't sign this agreement, everything else that we talked about earlier will still be done by me." "You!" Vivian did not expect that she was really determined not to sign, "How do I know if after refusing now later on you won't change your mind?"
"Even if I sign it, how do you know that I won't change my mind? If I really want to do something, what use is the small penalty in Miss Morrison's contract?" Eva stared at Vivian.
"So what exactly do you want? You don't want to abort the child and I agreed with that. Can't you just sign and ease my worries?"
Eva frowned.
"Miss Morrison, there is one thing I hope you understand: when it comes to the child, it's up to me to decide. Not anyone else's consent matters. To put it bluntly, Adrian and I are legally married now so others have no right to interfere or criticize me, especially not you..."
Upon hearing this, Vivian turned pale.
"What exactly do you want?"
"I don't want anything; just a favor." Eva said lightly: "I promise all those things that you mentioned earlier will be done."
"No, I don't believe you! How can I know if later on..."
"In that case there's nothing more we can do." Eva shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "If you cannot trust me as a person then perhaps helping me was not something that should have been done nor should favors be asked of me." Hearing this finally made Vivian calm down a bit.
In fact, she thought Eva would be easy to deceive; as long as she first presented conditions which were impossible for her agree upon and then after refusing them present this agreement again under relaxed vigilance conditions whereupon Eva would sign her name without much thought.
Who knew her vigilance was actually so high!
It's really miscalculated. Vivian gritted her teeth and looked at Eva, "Are you sure you can keep your promise?"
Eva smiled, "It's a simple matter. If I can't keep my promise, I wouldn't have come out today. Otherwise, why would I waste time sitting here with you when I've already made up my mind?"
"Okay, that's what you said." There was no way she could force Eva to sign the agreement if she didn't want to. Her main task now was to make sure that Eva didn't talk nonsense in front of Adrian. The conversation just now should be useful. She reached out her hand to Eva and restored her smile, "I hope you can always keep your promise and have a pleasant cooperation."
Eva stared at her hand without moving and said lightly, "From now on, I won't owe you any favors."
