Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 569 Why So Adorable?

Startled by the voice, Eva turned to face Adrian, whose smile reached his twinkling eyes.

"Weren't you supposed to wait for me? What brought you here on your own?"

Her lips parted; she was about to retort, but after recalling his recent interaction with another girl, a wave of discomfort surged through her. She swallowed her words and walked away from Adrian without acknowledgment. His smile, which had lingered in the anticipation of her liking the lipstick, faltered as she glanced at him and turned away; her expression seemingly less than cheerful.

Adrian paused, pondering her distant demeanor. Had he upset her somehow?

Shrugging off the thought, he quickly caught up to her.

"Aren't you going to consider that lipstick? It's a pretty color."

Eva hadn't anticipated his persistence, let alone him bringing up lipstick again. Her frown deepened the 'guy-magnet' term might not have been just influential vlogger talk. After a moment's consideration, she stopped and turned to ask him.

"Do you like it?"

Adrian didn't overthink his response. "I like it. Didn't you say other shades weren't versatile enough for everyday wear? That one seems about right; it's close to your natural lip color."

As he spoke, Adrian's gaze dropped, taking in her lips with an appraising look.

Not long ago, Eva had been feeling under the weather, which left her lips pale and colorless, but lately, her mindset had improved. She was eating well, and her health had rebounded, so as a result, her lips had regained their delicate pink hue. They looked soft and jellylike against her fair skin.

But Eva had no idea what he was thinking about. She was still irked by his earlier actions. So, when he expressed his fondness for the lipstick, she retorted without missing a beat, "You like it? Then buy it for yourself."

With that, Eva turned on her heel and left him in the dust.

Adrian might have been slow on the uptake, but after being ignored twice, he finally got the hint.

He hesitated, then swiftly picked up the lipstick Eva had admired and sprinted after her.

Catching up using his long strides, he reached out and grasped her slender, pale wrist. "Are you upset?"

Feeling his grip, Eva's brows furrowed slightly. "No," she lied and promptly wriggled free from his hold.

Adrian stared at his empty hand and, after a silent moment, said with a hint of defeat, "That strong of a response, and you claim you're not mad?"

"Do I?" Eva gave a sardonic smile. "Then tell me, what do I have to be mad about?"

Her question prompted Adrian to contemplate seriously.

"Because I kissed you earlier?"

This left Eva speechless.

The two of them were extremely close; kisses and hugs were routine, and he had done far more outrageous things. How could she possibly be upset over a simple peck? The absurdity of his question rendered Eva speechless, and she lost any desire to respond.

Adrian could tell she was still fuming and refusing to answer, which left him rather helpless.

Racking his brains, he could not figure out what had upset her, other than the kiss he had planted in full view of the cameras.

So, before Eva could walk away again, a persistent Adrian followed her, pestering her with questions. "What's really bothering you?"

Without knowing the actual reason for her sudden dissatisfaction, Adrian had to guess from his actions, but when that yielded no answers, he started grasping at straws.

"Did you not sleep well last night? Are you feeling unwell because of that?"

"Did I tire you out by bringing you to pick out lipstick?"

"Should I just buy every shade here, so you won't have to choose, and we can go home and rest?"

"Eva?"

"Eva ?"

While browsing lipsticks, Eva found herself accompanied by a persistent Adrian, who peppered her with questions until, with a turn of her head, she caught his expression eagerness and concern were etched all over his handsome face. His lips were even slightly parted, his confusion apparent.

The way he acted... he seemed genuinely worried about upsetting her.

Had she misunderstood him?

But...

With these thoughts, Eva inhaled deeply and faced Adrian. "What were you doing just now?"

At long last, she was speaking to him. Adrian, who had been feeling the cold shoulder for some time, eagerly leaned in.

"What was I doing? Didn't you see? I was talking to those two-"

Before he could finish, Eva extended her fair palm.

"Give me your phone."

Without hesitation, Adrian handed over his phone.

She noticed it was locked. Without having to ask, Adrian quickly said, "The password is your birthday."

Her birthday?

Pondering for a moment, Eva typed a sequence of numbers, and the phone unlocked.

Seeing her own birthday as his lock screen password softened Eva's mood, easing her anger.

She opened WhatsApp, expecting to find unknown contacts but instead found herself as the pinned conversation, with familiar faces below-family and acquaintances.

His WhatsApp was sparsely populated, with hardly any friends at all.

Surveying the chat interface revealed nothing, so Eva wrinkled her nose and switched to the contacts screen.

She had a quick scroll through Adrian's friend list it was so brief that, with a couple of swipes, she had already reached the end.

She scrolled up and down but found nothing of interest.

Adrian had been by her side since she took the phone, watching her every move. Seeing her swipe through, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Eve, what are you looking for?" "Your new contacts?"

Eva replied without overthinking his question.

Adrian paused for a moment. "New contacts?"

Sensing the puzzlement in his tone, Eva lifted her gaze to meet his dark eyes, annoyance still prevalent in her voice, "Weren't you just adding those girls as friends?"

Adrian seemed lost at first, but her words triggered a realization in his mind.

'Yes, that's it.' He thought.

Indeed, she was miffed about the friend request.

Eva couldn't help but grind her teeth in frustration.

"And that friend?" She asked.

Adrian raised an eyebrow, an amused glint in his eye. "Deleted."

It seemed he suddenly grasped the cause of her foul mood. He'd been sulking, trying to figure out why she was upset, and now that he had unearthed the reason, a smile crept across his lips, curving higher and higher until he could no longer resist wrapping his arms around Eva's shoulders, his voice brimming with mirth.

"Eve, don't tell me you got upset thinking I added another girl on WhatsApp?"

Eva fell silent, not knowing how to respond.

He tenderly pinched her fair cheek, "How can you be so adorable? You should tell me when you're upset."
