Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 79 Resentment in the Heart

Although he had already prepared himself mentally beforehand,

Michael didn't expect Adrian to hit him so hard when his jaw was punched.

After Adrian beat the other person, he didn't even bother to see what they looked like.

Instead, he forcefully grabbed Eva's delicate wrist and pulled her behind him, then lowered his head and stared at her with a warning and cold gaze. Eva: ""

He had a ferocious expression on his face, as if questioning her: are you frozen or just stupid, that you can't push away someone who's hugging you?

"Tsk." Michael wiped the blood on the corner of his lips, looking at Adrian with a smile before speaking: "I just came back to the country, and you're giving me such a grand gift, isn't that a bit too much, Adrian?" The familiar voice caused Adrian to pause, and then he shifted his gaze away from Eva's face to look at Michael.

Their gazes met in the air, with a moment of tension and awkwardness in the atmosphere.

After a moment, the expression on Adrian's face returned to normal, and he looked at Michael with a cold attitude: "You've returned."

Michael took out a handkerchief from his pocket and elegantly wiped away the blood on his hands.

"It seems that someone doesn't welcome me very much."

Adrian pursed his lips, displeasure hidden in his ink-colored eyes, his aura icy: "What were you doing just now?"

Michael's eyes, filled with a teasing gaze, glanced over Eva's fair face before meeting Adrian's again with a slight smile: "Because I told Eva whether she wanted to see how you would react when I hugged you, Adrian." Adrian: "..."

After a few seconds of stillness, the cold aura around Adrian diminished.

So it was to see his reaction, he thought that Michael...

Michael raised an eyebrow, "Tsk, didn't expect such a big reaction from you."

Adrian pursed his lips, not taking the bait, just snorted, then held Eva's hand while continuing the conversation with Michael.

"When did you come back? Why didn't you say anything?"

Michael glanced at the hands of them holding each other, smiling, "I took the morning flight today, arrived around noon."

For some reason, Eva recalled the black car downstairs at the company at noon and the piercing gaze she felt.

With this thought in mind, she looked at Michael and happened to catch him looking at her.

Adrian didn't notice because all his attention was on Eva's hand. Her small hand was delicate, soft, and her skin was smooth.

Holding it in his palm was like holding a ball of cotton.

They hadn't been close for a long time, so Adrian didn't even have the chance to hold her hand. Now that he had the chance to do so, he realized that he missed it.

Later on, Adrian even forced her to intertwine their fingers tightly.

Eva glanced at Adrian; her eyebrows furrowed.

"Since it's too late today, I can't accompany you and have a chat. Let's do it tomorrow when I have time."

"Alright." Michael nodded with a smile, "See you tomorrow, don't forget to invite everyone to get together."

Adrian nodded, "Mhm, it's getting late, let's head back."

"You guys go ahead."

"Let's go."

Adrian led Eva out of the room.

Once they left, the smile on Michael's lips disappeared, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the cut on his lips. Then he threw the pristine handkerchief into the nearby trash bin.

-

After leaving the bar, Eva remembered something, "Where's Jenny?"

She came with me, but after I went to meet Michael, Jenny went to find reinforcements, and I don't know where she is now.

Adrian replied, "She left."

"She left?"

Adrian's tone was impatient, "Should she have stayed and waited for you? Do you know where we are?"

Eva paused, not knowing how to respond to his brotherly scolding tone.

It's always like this!

Eva pulled away from his hand and responded defiantly, "Of course I know where we are, but so what? After I leave, only Jenny can take over my position. I have to accompany her and discuss our collaboration." Adrian's expression remained cold, "Do you have to discuss collaboration in a place like this?"

"What else can we do?"

"What are you talking about?"

Thinking about what happened tonight, Eva was annoyed.

Kris has been disrespecting her because Adrian has been bringing Vivian to the company lately, which has led to a lot of negative rumors about her.

Now everyone thinks she is just a discarded woman by Adrian.

Although she knows she shouldn't feel resentful and shouldn't have any grounds for resentment, she accepted someone else's affection.

Adrian always cleans up those who humiliate her, helps her father, and even brought her to the company to learn, providing her with such a good environment for growth. She should be grateful, full of gratitude. But why...

Why does resentment grow in her heart? Jealousy takes root, sprouts, and grows in secret places.

Eva knows that her feelings are wrong, so she can only suppress and restrain herself, not allow any hatred towards Adrian and Vivian.

They are people who have helped her.

But sometimes, when Adrian is gone, and she thinks about the strange stares at the company, she can't help but wonder.

Why?

Why now, when she just needs to wait for her grandmother to finish her surgery.

It wouldn't take long, so why would he bring Vivian to the company at this time and let people criticize her so much?

Why did she have to fall in love with Adrian?

If she didn't like him in the first place, everything would be better.

Adrian, is unaware.

Eva's thoughts at this moment were only focused on her standing there, with redness in her eyes.

he realized that his words just now may have been too harsh.

But if he didn't speak sternly, she would have no idea about the treacherous nature of the outside world. If she hadn't run into Michael tonight, and instead encountered someone else, and if he happened to miss Jenny's call? What would happen then? The consequences would be unimaginable.

Adrian softened his voice a bit.

"Didn't I tell you to choose a safe place when discussing work? If the other party refuses, you simply don't go. You are the young mistress of the Blackwood family, and no one dare to bully you." Eva couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

"The young mistress of the Blackwood family? No one dare to bully me? But what if one day I'm no longer associated with this title?"

Adrian was surprised.

Eva watched him; her voice gentle.

"You tell me, how would those people view me if they knew that our marriage is fake?" The Hansen family went bankrupt long ago, and she has had nothing for a long time.

She has been working hard in the past two years, trying to prove herself because she urgently wants to show that she is not respected solely because of being the young mistress of the Blackwood family.

But only after putting in all that effort, did she realize that without the title of the young mistress of the Blackwood family, she is still nothing.
