Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
70 For the Sake of the Baby

After returning and settling Granny Blackwood, Vivian looked at Eva and said, "Thank you."

Throughout the journey, she had been looking for opportunities to get close to Granny Blackwood. If Eva had wanted to stop her, she had the chance and ability to do so, but she didn't.

"I misunderstood you before. I thought you were not someone who keeps promises. I'm sorry."

Granny Blackwood suddenly fainted, and the surgery was postponed.

Vivian didn't believe it, when she heard the news at first. Why would someone perfectly fine suddenly faint? In her dark heart, she suspected that Eva might have told the old lady about the pregnancy and her own situation, and then they cooperated to postpone the surgery.

That's what she initially thought.

Vivian also knew that she was a dark person, but only she knew it.

But for now, it seemed that Granny Blackwood knew nothing.

And Eva indeed did not stop her from getting close to Granny Blackwood and winning her over. Vivian bet Eva truly remembers favors and she was right.

Eva reluctantly pulled her lips without responding.

"I have to go back today; otherwise, staying here all the time will make the old lady suspect something. However, I still want to come tomorrow. Can you invite me?"

Upon hearing this, Eva furrowed, "If you want to come, just come by yourself. Why do you need me to invite you?"

"I'm afraid the old lady will misunderstand me if I come on my own. But if you invite me, it's different. The old lady might only think that we are close."

Eva compressed her red lips together and looked at Vivian in a fixed manner, without agreeing or refusing.

Seeing her expression, Vivian approached a few steps, appearing to have a close relationship with her. She chuckled softly, "What's wrong, Eva? Don't you want Grandma to be sad after you leave? I'm spending more time with her and building a relationship for her sake."

A hint of cunning flashed in Vivian's eyes as she whispered, "And as you saw today, Grandma was clearly happy. If she's in a good mood, she can have the surgery earlier. Then you can leave with your precious baby sooner. Don't you want that?"

These few days of being together, Vivian could see that Eva genuinely cared about the Blackwood family's old lady. Although she wasn't entirely clear if Eva cared for her or because of Adrian.

All she knew was that she was being good to the old lady because of Adrian. Otherwise, she wouldn't waste her time pleasing an old person who was one foot in the grave.

Indeed, her words resonate. Though displeased, she quickly said, "Fine, I understand."

After speaking, a slightly impatient look appeared on her face, "Is there anything else? If not, I have to go and attend to my duties."

Vivian has achieved her goal.

Then, Vivian didn't care what expression she had and even smiled at her.

"I'm fine here. You can do your thing. Just don't forget to call me tomorrow."

Little did she know, Eva didn't even listen to her and walked away without a word.

Vivian was left standing in the same spot, her face turning pale and then red, taking a while to regain her composure before leaving as well.

After returning to the room, Eva sat down by the bed and felt exhausted.

It wasn't too late yet, but she already felt tired, despite wearing sneakers.

She didn't think too much about it, as she didn't have time to rest at that moment.

Eva grabbed her notebook and made her way to the study.

She wanted Jenny to quickly pick things up, even though she was also studying diligently, the common problem with quick learning was encountering various issues, which Eva had to clean up after. Sure enough, after Eva turned on the computer and contacted Jenny, she immediately started panicking and crying on the other end.

"Eva, you finally came... If you didn't come, I might have made a fatal mistake."

Eva: "..."

"Why is the work so difficult? I feel like I used to be so happy after these days' learning. Also, Eva, what kind of life did you have before? Just thinking about it is terrifying enough." After listening to her rambling, Eva finally interrupted her.

"Alright, don't panic. Deal with the problems one by one. You'll always have to face them."

If Jenny made a mistake now, she still had her to rely on, but if she made a mistake in the future, she'd probably be reprimanded.

Adrian was not a gentle boss.

When he brought her to the company to learn, he was particularly strict, strict to the point where Eva, who grew up with him, felt like he had transformed into a different person.

In many instances where she made mistakes, he showed no mercy, even bluntly pointing them out in front of their subordinates, completely disregarding her dignity.

At first, Eva would get angry and upset, probably because she had a hidden affection for him, so being reprimanded by him made her feel ashamed.

So she would argue with him, but she didn't expect Adrian to furrow and say, "You get upset just from a few reprimands? What do you plan to learn in the future? Or is it that you'll only cry when faced with problems?" Eva was infuriated at the time, wiping away her tears and gritting her teeth. She said, "I'll definitely do better next time."

Afterwards, she did indeed do better each time.

He remained strict, strict to the point where he couldn't find any faults with her anymore. Not only did she become an outstanding secretary, she even learned various negotiation tactics and strategies in the business world. Now looking back, Eva actually felt grateful to Adrian.

After all, he gave her a platform and opportunity. Even if she left the Blackwood family business and left him, she wouldn't have problems starting her own business with her wealth.

"Eva?" The voice in her earpiece snapped Eva back to reality. She didn't think too much and immersed herself in her work.

After about 15 minutes, Eva finished handling Jenny's problems and let her continue on her own.

After sending Jenny away, Eva had originally planned to continue working.

After staring at the computer for a few seconds, she couldn't help but yawn repeatedly.

She covered her mouth while yawning, and even tears of fatigue welled up in the corners of her eyes.

She had slept reasonably well last night, so why was she suddenly so drowsy?

Thinking about it, Eva couldn't resist reaching out to touch her belly, a doting smile forming on her lips.

"Baby, are you tired? Mom hasn't walked far at all, and you're already this exhausted?"

To make matters worse, she actually felt hungry, a clear increase in appetite compared to before.

It makes sense, though. In the past, she only had to sustain herself, but now she had to support the baby as well.

"Alright, let's skip work for today for the baby. Let's go eat something and then rest."

After saying that, Eva closed her laptop and prepared to get up and leave.

Suddenly, the balcony glass of the study was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in.

The person had handsome brows and eyes, and their ink-colored irises were as deep as the sea. He walked towards her with straight legs.

The moment she saw him, Eva's mind went blank.
