Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 9

Eva had been acting so strangely lately that Adrian couldn't help but suspect she was hiding something from him.

The servant turned pale at Adrian's tone. "Mr. Blackwood, are you looking for that report?"

"I'm sorry; the report has already been disposed of."

Adrian's brows furrowed.

"What did you say?"

The servant, frightened by his gloomy demeanor, was on the verge of tears and could only hastily explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Blackwood, I didn't mean to dispose of it. But the report was in such bad shape that I didn't think much of it and just..." Her words only deepened Adrian's frown.

He knew something was off with Eva!

The butler, worried, said, "Mr. Blackwood, could Mrs. Blackwood be feeling unwell?"

Adrian handed him his car keys and coat. "I'm going upstairs."

In the room, Eva was about to rest when she received a phone call.

It was from the deputy secretary of the Hall Group, discussing the recent project.

Due to her absence from the office all day yesterday, this matter remained unattended to.

After hanging up, Eva furrowed her delicate brows.

With the business affairs bustling, after just one day of absence, tasks were piling up.

It seemed she had to return to work today.

Eva took out her laptop and had just logged into her email when footsteps outside the door reached her ears.

Thinking it was a servant; she ignored it and opened her emails to start working.

It wasn't until the footsteps stopped beside her, and a faint, fresh scent reached her, that Eva realized something amiss. She lifted her gaze and found herself ensnared within the deep, dark pools of Adrian's eyes. Startled by his sudden appearance, Eva exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

Adrian's thin lips pressed together as he replied coolly, "This is my room."

Eva was momentarily stunned and instinctively asked, "Shouldn't you be out by now?"

"Do you mind me being in my room?" Adrian said, pausing before adding, "I was home last night."

Sure enough, Eva's face showed surprise.

Adrian stared at her. "Surprised? You didn't even know I was lying next to you last night?"

Eva bit her lip and didn't reply.

So, the feeling she had last night wasn't an illusion; he had really come back.

She had been half-asleep and, upon waking, found his side of the bed cold, thinking he hadn't returned all night.

Knowing he had been home, Eva felt a subtle change in her emotions.

"I thought you wouldn't come back."

Her words plunged them into silence.

Vivian had only been back for two days, and their relationship had already become awkwardly distant.

After a long pause, Adrian suddenly asked, "Why aren't you taking your medicine?"

Eva faced the computer screen, nonchalantly browsing the display, and explained calmly, "I didn't want to take it yesterday, and today I feel much better, so I don't need it." Her composed demeanor made Adrian's lips twitch. "Really? Then what's with the report?"

At the mention of the 'report,' Eva's hand, which had been scrolling the mouse, suddenly stopped.

She almost thought she had misheard.

But Adrian's words echoed in her ears, clearly indicating she hadn't imagined it.

Adrian had seen it! The pregnancy report...

After a moment, Eva seemed to collect herself and looked up at him, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"What report?"

Adrian stared at her in silence.

She was performing well; her eyes, expression, and tone were all as usual, just like when they normally spoke.

If Adrian hadn't noticed her small reaction, he might have been fooled.

His gaze followed her, sharp as a blade. "I'm asking you, what report?"

Eva forced herself to calm.

At first, she had been frightened by his mention of the report. She even wondered if he had seen it and knew about her pregnancy. But soon, Eva regained her composure.

The trials and vicissitudes of these past two years have wrought a transformation upon her, making her unflappable in any situation.

Even if the report hadn't been torn up, the rain had washed away the writing, and the paper was ruined.

So, even if Adrian found it, he wouldn't be able to make out anything.

Adrian sat down in front of her, their eyes locking.

"Eva, do you think I don't know you?" Adrian suddenly sneered. "You're lying. Do you think I can't tell?"

Eva met his gaze fearlessly.

"Really? Do you know me well?" she asked with a hint of sarcasm in her smile.

The next instant, his hand encircled, capturing the nape of her neck, followed closely by the press of his forehead, and their fervent breaths intertwined in an intimate dance.

"We've known each other for over twenty years, shared a bed for two. Eva, if I don't know you, who does?" Adrian said, his warm breath brushing her face.

The atmosphere grew increasingly intimate, and Eva was stunned.

"So, we've known each other for that long," she murmured, her eyes dazed. "You claim to know me, yet you never knew who I liked..."

She had liked him for so long, and he had never noticed! All these years, she had carefully hidden her feelings, though sometimes she couldn't help but show her affection. Had he really never sensed it? "The person you like?" Adrian's face changed as he heard those words. "Who is it?"
