Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy!
Chapter 553 Maybe You Kept a Man Stashed in the Office?

Adrian led Eva to a secluded spot before stopping.

Eva was puzzled.

"Why did you tell them about our relationship?"

Hearing her question, Adrian's arm, which was around her waist, momentarily tensed, and after turning to see her bewildered expression, he couldn't help but retort, "Why shouldn't I tell them?" He leaned in a little closer; his voice laced with a hint of danger.

"What's the matter, Eva? You don't want others to know about us? Is there something about me you don't want people to see?"

Eva was speechless.

"Or is it that... you've got something going on at the office? Maybe you kept a man stashed in the office?"

Originally, it was just curiosity that led her to wonder why he'd announced their relationship to the world, but it quickly became clear he had a talent for filling in the blanks with his imagination. Could guys really spin such a web of thoughts from just one sentence?

Eva blinked softly as she gazed at Adrian standing before her.

"I don't have my past memories, so even if I really did have a man stashed in the office, I wouldn't remember, right?" Her tone was playful, teasing herself as much as him.

But Adrian couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy in his heart. He pursed his thin lips and said deliberately, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember. If you did keep a man, they would fall into the trap willingly." Eva raised an eyebrow, "If that's the case, shall we look forward to it?"

Thinking of something, Eva added, "You're only talking about me, but what about your company? After all, your company is definitely bigger than mine. It would be much easier for you to keep a mistress, wouldn't it?" Adrian fell silent.

He didn't expect to be caught off guard by her counterargument.

His company was big?

Heh, wasn't this just her way of saying that if he really wanted to keep a mistress, he would have much more opportunity to do so than her?

The jealousy that had risen in his heart due to her attitude was somewhat alleviated at this moment.

Adrian could also feel that she cared about him; otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of his company in her counterargument.

With this in mind, he simply said directly, "If you're so worried, why not bring your laptop and work at my company?"

Hearing this, Eva did not refuse but instead asked, "Can I really do that? Going to your company won't affect you?"

Adrian's voice was deep, "Affect what?"

"Affect you keeping a mistress."

After she said this, Eva felt Adrian's grip on her waist tighten, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Eva, whether I have a mistress or not, you'll know if you see for yourself."

She felt his dangerous aura emanating from him, and his hot breath on her face, as he closed in.

Eva almost had the illusion that he would kiss her right then and there.

This was her company, and if he really couldn't control himself and kissed her, it would be embarrassing if someone saw them.

With this thought, Eva could only push him away.

"Let's not."

After speaking, she took a deep breath and lowered her head to straighten out her clothes that had been disheveled.

"Not going to?"

These words made Adrian's brows furrow, and he asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'let's not'? You're not going to my company?"

Was she just talking for the sake of it? Did she actually not want to go?

The possibility made Adrian's expression turn sour.

Eva also saw his face suddenly darken and immediately realized what he was thinking, asking helplessly, "Are you angry?" Adrian pursed his lips but still answered, "No."

"Really?"

"Hmm."

She didn't expect him to be so stubborn, even though he was clearly angry.

Eva was about to explain herself when hurried footsteps approached, and a tall figure rounded the corner. "Ms. Hansen."

At first glance, Eva was almost certain that this was the manager that Adrian had mentioned -and it was indeed Tim.

Having wrapped up his work, Tim was informed by his colleagues that Eva had come to the office, and not just her-Adrian was there, too. On hearing this, Tim rushed over. His excitement upon seeing Eva was palpable. It had been a long time since their last encounter, and Eva's sudden absence, akin to a disappearance, had caused him considerable concern.

Seeing her now, safe and well, was a great relief. After all, Tim couldn't find such a wonderful job anywhere else. After exchanging greetings with Eva, he turned to Adrian.

"Mr. Blackwood, you're here too."

Due to what just happened, Adrian's expression wasn't the best, but since Tim was an important figure in Eva's company, Adrian nodded and grunted in response, despite feeling unhappy inside.

Tim, sensing something was amiss, didn't voice his thoughts but instead led Eva to the office with a smile while discussing work matters with her.

As Eva hadn't been to the company in a while, there was quite a bit of work to catch up on. Initially, she was somewhat bewildered, but she soon focused and got down to business.

Since she was busy with work, there was no place for Adrian in the office, so he ended up sitting on the couch waiting for her.

While Tim was briefing Eva, he occasionally glanced at Adrian sitting on the distant sofa and quietly asked, "Ms. Hansen, why did Mr. Blackwood come with you?"

After asking, Tim seemed to remember something and added, "And Ms. Hansen, why didn't you tell me before that you two were in that kind of relationship?"

Eva paused at the question.

Thinking of the news Adrian had announced in the company earlier, she quickly pieced things together and had some guesses. She decided to go along with his line of questioning, "I didn't tell you before?" "No."

Since Eva didn't show it, Tim was unaware of her memory loss. He subconsciously thought she might have intended to tell him but simply forgot.

"Tsck," Tim said, looking at Adrian's back. "If you had said earlier that you two were married, I wouldn't have had to worry about you. But since you're a couple, why did you have such a fight before? Was it an argument?" Eva's heart sank after she heard this. A fight?

Eva pursed her lips and directly asked, "Do you remember the date you joined the company?"

Tim didn't find the question strange, assuming she might not want to answer his and thus was changing the subject.

He kindly told her when he started.

After that, he said with a meaningful tone, " Ms. Hansen, even if you don't want to answer my question, there's no need to deflect with that kind of topic, right?"

But Eva was lost in her own thoughts.

His first day at the company was very close to the date of the Facebook post she had made.

And he was unaware of her relationship with Adrian...
