Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 570 Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

Since the misunderstanding hadn't yet been clarified, Eva wasn't in the mood to tolerate his touch and swiftly brushed his hand aside. "Don't touch me."

Adrian, far from retracting his hand, instead leaned closer and placed his large hand at the nape of her neck, his voice low as he explained, "Alright, I did add that girl as a friend, but I also deleted her." "Why did you add her and then delete her?"

"How else could I get the video?"

"What video?"

"What do you think?"

Eva got it then; he was referring to the video that girl had secretly taken of Adrian kissing her. She realized she had jumped to conclusions when she saw them exchange contact information. She had thought... He had just gone after the video.

Eva felt a sting of guilt as she thought back on how she had coldly turned away from him.

"What, you thought I was just adding random girls on WhatsApp?" Adrian tapped her nose lightly. "I would risk my life for you; do you really think I'd go through the trouble of adding someone else just to complicate my own life?" These grand declarations, of risking life for another, would've been dismissed as sweet nothings by Eva in the past, or maybe from anyone else. But after witnessing him fearlessly save her from danger, she knew he wasn't joking. He meant every word.

And so, she found herself without a rebuttal, even moved by the memory.

"Sorry..." she whispered, "I misunderstood you."

Adrian simply found her jealousy adorable.

In his eyes, jealousy sprang from care, and her jealousy meant she deeply cared about him. This realization delighted him.

But Adrian never expected an apology from Eva, so when she suddenly muttered "I'm sorry," he was utterly taken aback.

"I like it when you get jealous. It means you care about me. What's there to apologize for?"

Eva blinked in confusion.

"I misunderstood you and then I lost my temper. It's only right to apologize."

"No need," Adrian cut her off. "With me, you can be who you are. You never have to feel sorry. If anyone should feel sorry, it's me..."

He was the one who owed her - a debt he knew he could never repay in this lifetime.

He actually wished Eva would be more willful, more dramatic, maybe even vent her frustrations on him, doing whatever she pleased, just to give him a reason to make it up to her. Before he could finish his thoughts, Eva piped up with curiosity, "What should you feel sorry for?"

Adrian snapped back to reality and shook his head.

"Nothing. So, are you no longer mad at me?"

Since it was all a big misunderstanding, there was no way Eva could still be angry.

She fell silent.

"So, if you're not mad anymore, then how about the lipstick?" He prodded gently.

Adrian handed over the lipstick she had eyed when she first saw it.

Eva was surprised to see that particular color, the "guy-magnet" shade. She had barely glanced at it and he had already grabbed it for her. "You like this color?" She asked.

Adrian chuckled softly. "Didn't I say your natural lip color is a close match? It should be perfect for everyday use."

"If it's close, then what's the point in using it?"

Caught off guard by her logic, Adrian found himself stammering. "Yeah, if it's close to your natural lip color, then why use it? Shall I put it back?" "Never mind. Since you've picked it out, I might as well choose a few more shades."

As Eva was selecting colors, she asked softly, "So, after you added that person and they sent you a video, you just deleted them?"

Adrian nodded with brazen pride.

"What else? Keep them for chatting? To make you jealous?"

Eva felt a twinge of guilt recalling her own bout of jealousy.

"I was mistaken. I'm not angry anymore. Why do you keep bringing it up?"

"Can't I mention it? It's rare to see you get jealous over me. Isn't it worth a few extra mentions?" He teased.

Eva could only respond with silence.

"I mean, isn't it wrong to just delete someone like that?"

"Eva, are you acting coy after getting your way?" He teased. "If I hadn't deleted them, imagine how much angrier you would've been while checking my phone."

After speaking, Adrian didn't wait for her to ask again and instead patted her shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry, I told her upfront that I'm married when I added her as a friend. I didn't want you to get upset, so I only got that video, and then I deleted her."

She blinked in surprise. "What about the video?"

"You want to see it?"

Adrian opened his gallery and showed her the saved video.

The video was taken from afar, but their expressions were still visible. Through the video, Eva could even catch the adoring way Adrian looked at her.

Normally, she wouldn't pick up on such nuances in their everyday conversations. Now, through someone else's lens, Eva realized how tenderly Adrian actually gazed at her.

Although Eva wasn't one to watch soap operas regularly, in this era of shared clips and snippets, she couldn't help but be reminded of the romantic scenes between leads when she saw that look.

"By the way, after sending the video, that girl asked me something," Adrian mentioned casually.

"What was that?"

"She wanted to know if she could post the video online."

Eva pursed her lips, "And you agreed?"

"What do you think? Should I have said yes or no?"

Eva raised an eyebrow playfully, "Up to you."

It was just a video of them being affectionate. Deep down, Eva didn't seem to care whether it got out or not.

After her remark, she noticed Adrian had gone quiet, which piqued her curiosity. "So, what did you tell her?"

Adrian gave her a teasing smile. "Looks like someone's 'whatever' isn't so indifferent after all."

He ruffled her hair gently, saying softly, "When she asked if she could post it, I said yes. We're not celebrities, after all."

Eva huffed softly, declining to respond.

"Made your choice?"

"Yeah, more or less."

While she had been talking to him, Eva had been selecting shades and by the time Adrian asked, she had already reached for a few everyday colors. "These will do."

But unexpectedly, Adrian threw her off with a comment, "Aren't you going to test them out?" She looked at him, with a trace of surprise in her eyes. "You know about testing shades?" "Yeah, I've heard a bit about it."

"There's no need to test them. They're all neutral shades; you can't really go wrong with them."

Adrian glanced over at her upon hearing this, marveling at how her porcelain skin could carry any color without fault. In his eyes, she was flawless, but perhaps it was just a lover's adoration coloring his perception.
