Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 529 Yikes, We're Going Back?

Perhaps she was being cruel to Michael but with things turning out this way, she felt helpless and thought that maybe she was just a selfish person. She didn't have the capacity to please many people; her heart was too small, too limited, and she only had the strength to do what she could handle. She felt so exhausted lately. There were moments she even considered disappearing from this world altogether, to avoid the pain of loss.

But now, she had come to a realization. She wanted to live, to hold on to the beauty she desired in her life. Everything else... well, it had its own destiny, which was beyond her control.

"Don't worry," she said, "now that I've decided to be with you, I won't see him anymore."

Eva stepped forward and gently took Adrian's hand.

"But it's normal for me to feel a bit down. I might be like this for a short while, but it will pass. Don't mind it, just give me some time."

Adrian looked down at the delicate hands holding his, feeling an intense softness in his heart. He pressed his lips together as if struggling to restrain something, but ultimately, he couldn't control himself and pulled her into his embrace. "I don't mind. How could I mind?"

The fact that she had returned to him was enough reason to thank God for his mercy.

And now that she was willing to open up to him honestly, Adrian's heart was also completely open. Even if she were to go see Michael again at this moment, he wouldn't mind.

With this thought, Adrian leaned on her shoulder and closed his eyes contentedly.

"It doesn't matter, go see him."

Eva, still in his arms, was taken aback.

"What did you say?"

"I said go. Do what you want to do. I won't be upset, after all, I was the one who arranged your meeting."

Eva blinked, her eyelashes trembling lightly.

"If you don't speak, can I take it as your consent?"

Eva shifted slightly then gently broke free from his embrace and looked up at him, "If I see him, you really won't be unhappy? What if, when I come back, you..."

"There are no 'what ifs.' Even if there were, once you stand in front of me, how could I stay angry?"

Eva fell silent.

Why did she feel that something was off? Could it be that Adrian was trying to test her?

"Let's pack up after Ruby wakes up from her nap, and I'll let our grandparents know when they come back," he suggested.

Eva replied, "Are we really going? But we asked Mom to buy pajamas this morning."

"Hmm, that's an issue. I'll give Mom a call in a bit. If she hasn't bought them yet, she doesn't need to. If she has, it's not a problem. You'll come back here to stay in the future anyway, so you can just wear them next time." Thinking it over, Eva felt that there didn't seem to be a problem and finally nodded in agreement.

Even if Adrian was testing her, she had already refused once.

"Let's go. You head back to the living room and keep Dylan company," he said.

Eva nodded.

"Okay."

When Eva returned to the living room, a considerable amount of time had passed. She had been talking with Adrian, and time had slipped away without her noticing.

By the time she got back, Dylan had already finished building the Lego set by himself. She was somewhat surprised.

"Dylan, you're so good with the Legos," she exclaimed.

"You're so smart," she praised him earnestly as she sat down and gently stroked his head.

Flushed with the praise, Dylan's cheeks turned a shade of pink.

"Thank you, Mommy," he said.

Eva continued to stroke his head, and after thinking about her earlier conversation with Adrian, she told Dylan about their plans to leave that evening.

"Yikes, we're going back? Aren't we staying here?" Dylan asked.

"Mhm, we'll come back next time. Do you and Ruby like it here?" Eva inquired.

"I like it," Dylan nodded. "Great-grandma and Great-grandpa are very nice to Ruby and me."

Eva couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

"Then, we'll come back next time."

"Okay." Something occurred to Dylan, and he asked, "Next time we come, will you be with us too, Mommy?"

"Of course, I will definitely be with you guys next time. But if you and Ruby want to stay for a long time during the summer or winter holidays, Mommy might not be able to stay with you the entire time," she explained. After saying this, Eva took out her phone to take a picture of the Lego set Dylan had completed. She wanted to post it on her Facebook but realized she didn't have an account.

After she was rescued, Adrian gave her a cell phone. It had a new account, meaning her old phone and account were probably still with Michael.

So, she gave up on posting to Facebook and just saved the picture, then put away her phone, planning to ask Adrian to retrieve her old phone later.

At that moment, Adrian came over, "The pajamas have been bought, and they will be brought over soon. They are on their way back now."

Eva nodded, "Then we can use them next time we come."

Upon hearing the news that they would be returning home that evening, Lynn hurried back and the first thing she did was to confirm whether it was true. Once confirmed, she expressed her sentiment with a touch of sadness, "Why are you leaving so soon? I thought you could stay at least four or five more days."

Eva, unable to do anything about the situation, acknowledged that plans could never keep up with changes.

Although Lynn felt a tinge of regret, she didn't dwell on words of reluctance. Instead, she simply suggested that they come over again in the future or that she would visit them in the city to see the two children when she had the time. Eva agreed to all of these suggestions without hesitation.

Lynn, without saying much more, had her husband help pack up a lot of the food she made herself to take with them.

Eva thanked them and then said, "After we return, Ruby and Dylan will probably have to go to school, but I'll bring them to visit you when we have the chance."

"Alright, that sounds good," Lynn responded.

After some more pleasantries, Adrian called someone to help with the luggage and prepared to leave.

Margaret had wanted to stay with her parents for a while longer but was worried that no one would look after Ruby and Dylan.

After many years, she had finally been blessed with two grandchildren and was truly reluctant to part with them. In the end, she decided to return with them too. However, due to limited space in the vehicle, Margaret didn't travel with them but took a separate car.

At first, Eva felt bad and wanted to ask Adrian or the children to accompany Margaret, but Margaret said directly, "I'm not a child anymore. What's the big deal about sitting alone? Besides, your family of four should be together. I'd feel terrible for separating you guys."
