Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 535 Unwilling to Face

Afterward, Eva left with Adrian. Once she was gone, David stood still as the man who had served them coffee and treats approached him and recounted the events that had transpired inside. David listened quietly; his face expressionless even after the account was finished.

Seeing no reaction from David, the man asked, "David, do you think we should..."

"What should we do?"

David cut him off sharply before he could finish his sentence, startling the man with his sudden intensity, who fell silent and stood still.

"From now on, be careful with your words. With so many people under your command, don't you know what should and shouldn't be said?"

The man, having been reprimanded, felt some dissatisfaction but didn't dare to respond, instead choosing to hold back his resentment.

Once David was sure everything was in order, he rose and went upstairs.

He went straight to the room where Michael was being confined. As he approached the door, he saw Michael standing by the window, which was carefully covered by curtains.

At that moment, the curtains were parted slightly; Michael was peering through the small gap, observing the outside.

He didn't want to see her when she came, yet when she left, he couldn't help but stealthily and distantly steal a glance at her.

Seeing this, David's emotions became complex.

"If you really wanted to see her, Mr. Cooper, why did you refuse just now?"

David's voice suddenly filled the room, startling Michael, who was lost in his own world. Michael narrowed his eyes and turned to look at David with a sharp gaze. "Who let you in?"

Faced with Michael's questioning, David could only explain, "Mr. Cooper Sr. instructed me to be by your side twenty-four hours a day. They've left, so naturally, I came here." This statement elicited a cold sneer from Michael.

"You shall attend to me personally for twenty-four-hours a day? When did I ever notice such loyalty from you, David?"

David pursed his lips before saying, "I've been with you for so many years. As long as you don't do anything illegal, my loyalty will remain unchanged."

He paused, then added, "Of course, if you do break the law, I will also find a way to right your wrong."

Unfortunately, no matter how David expressed his loyalty, Michael's lips remained curled with an indifferent smile, not taking his words to heart. Michael pulled the curtains shut again, plunging the room into darkness.

David watched his actions and sighed inwardly, then asked, "Why do you not want to see Ms. Hansen?"

Michael scoffed disdainfully.

"What do you mean 'not want'? If she wants to go back to that man, why should I see her?"

He spoke as if he didn't care at all.

David was silent for a moment, then said, "Is it actually because you can't bear to say 'sorry' to her, face-to-face?" Michael fell silent.

He suddenly turned his head, glaring at David fiercely.

"Because you did something you now regret; you can't face her anymore. It's because you're not ready to say sorry."

Seeing him about to deny it, David interjected, "I've been with you for so long that I understand what's in your heart, so denial is useless." Michael fell silent again.

He stared at David with cold eyes for a long while, then his lips coldly spat out a few words, "Get out."

David, however, sat down on the sofa inside with an expressionless face.

"You seem to have forgotten, I just said that Mr. Cooper Sr. instructed me to accompany you around the clock."

Michael gave him a cold glance and then turned to enter another room.

After he left, David lowered his gaze.

After leaving, Eva got into the car and immediately looked out of the window. Adrian could only see her profile and had no idea what she was thinking.

The car was very quiet, occasionally interrupted by the sound of other vehicles speeding by, but the quietness quickly returned.

Looking at Eva like this, Adrian said, "We can come back again tomorrow."

Hearing this, Eva, who had been staring out the window, paused and then realized what he meant.

"Tomorrow?"

She looked at Adrian, "Will we come back?"

Adrian nodded.

"He has no reason not to want to see you. The only reason he might not want to is that he's afraid to face you." Eva was at a loss.

"So, he probably needs some more time. If not today, then tomorrow; if not tomorrow, then..."

Suddenly, Eva took Adrian's hand.

"Let's not."

Eva's voice was soft and gentle, and so was the grip of her hand. Adrian followed her hand slowly with his eyes.

"If he doesn't want to see me for now, then let's not go."

"Are you content on going on without clearing things up with him?"

Eva smiled.

"What is there for me to be content or discontent about? I'm not trying to be with him. I'm happy for him now that I know that he's safe and just being secluded by his grandfather,."

At least now he didn't have to face legal issues or detention. They chose to settle things privately, which wouldn't affect his future.

When she came to see him before, she thought she was going to some place worrying. Now, this outcome was the best for her.

He hadn't been ruined; perhaps after some time, he could return to his own path normally.

Not wanting to see, not wishing to see that should actually be the right decision.

Thinking this, Eva said with certainty, "Let's do that, then. Shall we head back today, or stay here another night? After all, you promised Ruby three to five days."

Her words made Adrian feel very conflicted.

It seemed like he was the one who actually wanted them to meet.

He watched her silently for a moment before saying, "It's too rushed to go back now. Let's stay another day. If you don't want to go anywhere when you wake up tomorrow, we'll head back."

Eva pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Naturally, she could tell what Adrian meant.

He was still worried that the decision she made today wasn't rational enough, so he wanted her to stay another night here and make a decision after waking up tomorrow.

Faced with Adrian's concern, Eva could only sigh inwardly. She hadn't anticipated his sense of security being so fragile. What had she possibly done in the past? She sensed it wasn't solely because Michael had taken her away.
