Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 525 A Sense of Security

The room was very quiet, so quiet that the only sounds to be heard were their breathing and heartbeats.

Eva was lying in a position slightly lower than Adrian 's chest, close enough to clearly hear the steady beat of his heart against her arm. It thumped rhythmically, as if it were pulsing against her own chest. After a while of sensing his heartbeat, Eva's eyes could no longer resist the fatigue and slowly closed. Soon, she fell asleep against Adrian.

Adrian listened as her breathing gradually became even and smooth, and he knew she had fallen asleep. He sighed softly and wrapped his large hand around her, pulling her as close to him as possible, so close there was no space left between them. Only then did the unease and emptiness in his heart begin to feel filled.

In these past few days, even though he had successfully rescued her and brought her to his side, he always felt a lingering sense of unease. Even his sleep was troubled. When she wasn't awake, he would spend the time restlessly, almost sleeplessly watching over her.

He feared that if he opened his eyes, he might find that rescuing her had been nothing but a dream, and everything he cherished would vanish into thin air.

Thus, Adrian had hardly slept well during this time.

Even now, with the soft warmth of her in his arms, feeling her breath and hearing her heartbeat, and even the warm breath she exhaled against his chest-all of it felt incredibly real. Yet, he still feared that it might not be.

If it was real, then why had everything gone so smoothly for him?

And if it wasn't real..., should he continue to immerse himself in this beautiful dream, or should he wake up quickly?

For a moment, Adrian didn't know what choice to make.

He lay there quietly holding her, not knowing how much time had passed when suddenly, Eva murmured a few sounds in her sleep and shifted slightly in his arms.

The ever-vigilant Adrian immediately lowered his head to check on her, thinking something might have happened. But it turned out that Eva had just wriggled a bit in his arms, then hugged him even tighter and burrowed into his embrace before falling back to sleep.

It was then that Adrian realized she had been talking in her sleep and hadn't actually woken up.

However...

The fact that she had instinctively held him tighter even in her unconscious state brought a bright smile to Adrian's lips.

Although he had been jealous of the children during the day, feeling that they weighed more in her heart than he did, at this moment, he felt an exceptional satisfaction.

No matter what, in his heart, she and the children always carried the most weight.

Perhaps it was this pleasant mood that led Adrian to subconsciously close his eyes.

Afterward, with such feelings, Adrian finally had his first good sleep in days.

He didn't know how long he had slept for, but when Adrian realized that he had dozed off and suddenly woke up, there was already light inside the room.

He turned his head towards the window and discovered that it was already daytime.

Eva...

As the thought flashed through his mind, Adrian lowered his gaze to the person in his arms. Seeing Eva still deep in slumber against him, Adrian's heart, which had been suspended in a sudden void, relaxed and settled back into place. She was still there, right by his side. She wasn't not gone.

As he watched her peaceful sleeping face, Adrian's hollow heart was gradually filled again. He contently wrapped his arms around her, leaning in to gently press a kiss on her smooth forehead.

In her sleep, Eva felt as if someone had lightly kissed her forehead.

For some reason, even though she was still very sleepy, the sensation on her forehead prompted her to unconsciously open her eyes.

As she did, she caught sight of Adrian's firm jaw and thin lips.

He had just pulled back a little, and when their eyes met, Eva realized that Adrian had been kissing her forehead.

"Awake?" Adrian's voice was hoarse, his throat moving as he swallowed, "Did I wake you? Sorry, I couldn't control myself just now. If you're still sleepy, go back to sleep for a while."

Eva blinked gently, not really feeling disturbed.

She shook her head.

"I'm not sleepy anymore; I went to bed early last night."

Last night, she and Adrian fell asleep before ten o'clock. Judging by the brightness of the sky, it was probably close to six in the morning now; they must have slept for about eight hours.

They were supposed to go to the flea market with their grandma and others later. Eva had never been to one and was quite curious about it.

Thinking this, Eva threw off the covers and got out of bed, with Adrian following suit. After seeing her quickly dress up and then head into the bathroom, Adrian realized how genuinely interested in the outing she was.

Adrian, with a touch of helplessness in his heart, also got dressed and followed her into the bathroom.

By the time he entered, Eva had already brushed her teeth and was washing her face. Seeing him come in, she instinctively moved aside at the sink to make space for Adrian.

After Adrian stood beside her, Eva remembered something and turned to him, "You're injured; you can't come with us to the flea market later."

Adrian's actions paused, "Why not? I was fine when I went out with you yesterday, wasn't I?"

"Fine on the surface, right?" Having spent an intimate night together, Eva was more natural in his presence, her words less cautious, "Who do you think was treating your wound last night? Do you think I didn't see the blood on the bandage? It's only because it's winter that it's not visible. If it were summer, the blood would be seeping through right away."

The more she spoke, the more Eva felt it was not okay.

"Although I've never been to a flea market, I know that it won't be lacking in people. What if you get bumped and someone hits your wound?"

Realizing she was seemingly determined to prevent him from going, Adrian promptly corrected her assumption.

"If I get bumped, I get bumped. It's precisely because it will be crowded that I can't let you go alone."

"I'm not going alone; I'm going with Grandma and the others."
