Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 523 To See If You Truly Don't Need Me

He had considered many possibilities, like her being angry because he hadn't told her something, or perhaps he had said something wrong to upset her. But he never thought that she would be blaming herself.

After watching the redness swell at the corners of her eyes as she forcibly swallowed back her tears, Adrian felt an unbearable ache in his heart. Without another thought, he quickly pulled her into his embrace, "Fool, why are you blaming yourself?"

Eva leaned into his chest, blinking gently.

"I've told you everything, can I be alone now?"

Adrian paused.

He truly didn't want to let her go, but she seemed desperate to be alone, and if he stayed, it would probably make her uncomfortable.

Letting her take a shower and calm down before they talked again was the best option.

After realizing this, Adrian loosened his hold on her.

"Alright, go take your shower, and I'll wait for you in bed."

Even in such a serious moment, with her mood still somewhat heavy, his sudden comment, "I'll wait for you in bed," somehow lightened her heart.

She knew he didn't mean anything by it, that it was just an unconscious utterance, but Eva couldn't help but think mischievously.

She pushed Adrian, signaling him to hurry out.

Adrian, unaware of her misinterpretation and not realizing there was anything amiss with his comment, obediently turned and left.

Once he was gone, Eva finally closed the bathroom door, leaning against it as she slowly closed her eyes.

At last, she could be alone.

Since losing her memory and being saved by Adrian, everything was unfamiliar, yet she felt like she could accept it. She liked being by his side, but clearly, their interactions required some finesse. Or perhaps not, maybe it was just the recent events that had thrown her heart into disarray.

By the time Eva had finished her shower, nearly half an hour had passed.

During that half-hour, Adrian was just leaning against the bed, waiting.

At first, he could sit quietly, but after ten minutes, he couldn't resist checking the time on his phone.

"Girls usually take longer to shower," thought Adrian.

So, he put down his phone and didn't rush her.

Twenty minutes later, with no sound coming from the bathroom, Adrian pursed his thin lips, barely being able to restrain himself from getting up to knock on the door.

It wasn't impatience; he was worried she might faint from weakness if she stayed in too long.

But considering that he might disturb her, Adrian held back and instead looked up how long girls typically take to shower on his phone. The myriad of answers made his head spin.

In the end, he gathered that it was normal for girls to take a longer shower. Not wanting to pry further, he confirmed that twenty minutes wasn't considered long and continued waiting outside. After thirty minutes had passed with no sign of Eva, Adrian finally got up from the bed, ready to check on her.

Just as he got off the bed, he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.

Eva stepped out, dressed only in a thin nightgown as steam emanated from the bathroom.

Seeing her dressed so lightly, Adrian immediately took one of his long coats and draped it over her.

"You shouldn't wear so little, even just after a shower."

Eva was enveloped by his long coat, instantly shielding her from the cold air outside. Her eyes shone brightly, and her fair cheeks were flushed, making her look exceptionally tempting. "I seem to have only found this in the closet; I thought it would be more comfortable to sleep in."

Adrian pulled her, now in his coat, to the bed, saying, "If we're going to accompany Grandma to the flea market tomorrow, we can buy some necessities then."

Buy necessities?

They hadn't brought much luggage with them, partly because it was heavy, and Adrian's idea was that whatever they lacked, they could buy here.

But now that he mentioned it, Eva couldn't help but ask, "Are we going to stay here for a long time?"

Hearing this, Adrian fell silent for a moment, then said, "It depends on you. Do you like it here? If not, we can go back."

Eva thought about it and felt that she didn't dislike the place, but after seriously considering it, she realized she didn't have a particular place she wanted to go to either. She simply wanted to be by her children's side.

Even this visit here, she had come only because her children were here; she just wanted to see and be with them.

Thinking this, Eva said, "It's not a matter of liking or not liking, it mainly depends on the two children."

After hearing this, Adrian seemed to realize something.

Indeed, she had come here upon hearing that her children were here. If it weren't for the children being here, she probably wouldn't have wanted to come at all, right? There really wasn't much to think about, but for some reason, Adrian found himself inexplicably thinking on another level.

It seemed like she only cared about the children.

As long as the children were by her side, it seemed like she really didn't care about anything else, including himself.

Adrian knew he shouldn't think this way, yet he couldn't help but subconsciously drift towards that thought.

"However, I see that Grandma seems to like them a lot. I was even telling Mom that during the summer and winter holidays, we could let the children stay here. It's not like we can stay as long as they do." While Adrian was feeling disheartened, hearing her say this reignited his hope.

Still, he said, "It's up to you. If you want to stay with them here, then stay. Your happiness is what matters."

"And what about you?"

Eva looked up at him.

"Me?" Adrian 's thin lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. "I'm responsible for making money and providing for the family. If you need me, I'll be here. If not... I'll be in the city making money, how's that?" He portrayed himself as someone who would listen to Eva's wishes. Eva looked steadily into his eyes, then nodded.

"Okay, then you should go back tomorrow."

The smile on Adrian's lips stiffened for a moment.

"I'm going to the flea market in the morning, maybe you shouldn't come?"

Realizing at this point that she was teasing him, Adrian narrowed his eyes and tightened his hold on her slender waist, pulling her close to him.

"Are you teasing me?"

The sudden closeness made Eva's heart skip a beat, "No, wasn't it you who said you're responsible for making money?"

"I was testing to see if you really don't need me."
