Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 98 Seeing Clearly

Previously, she and Vivian had made a verbal agreement because both parties had their own demands. But now, it seems that their relationship will turn sour because of this incident. Regardless of whether Eva pushed her or not, Vivian would probably blame herself for this situation.

It seems that peaceful coexistence is impossible for the future.

Most importantly, after this incident, Eva realized that she should be wary of Vivian. She is far different from what Eva had imagined at first.

Initially, Eva thought that Vivian only loved acting like a lady and pretending to be weak in front of others. This was nothing, as everyone wants to have a good image in front of others. But if beneath that facade of fragility lies a malicious heart that schemes against others, then it becomes a completely different matter.

Thinking of this, Eva said to Emily, "Don't worry, I will protect myself, and you see, she tried to harm me this time, but it ended up backfiring on her instead."

"That's right," Emily nodded, "Karma always finds its way back. It sounds quite satisfying."

"Yeah," Eva agreed.

Just as they finished their conversation, a waiter brought another dessert to Eva's table.

Emily noticed and widened her eyes in astonishment. "Oh my god, when did you order another dessert without me noticing? Eva, did you not take the doctor's advice seriously? You shouldn't eat too much."

"I know, I'll just take a couple of bites," Eva tried bargaining.

"No, you just had one serving earlier."

"Just one bite," Eva continued to negotiate.

"No! Absolutely not!" Emily said firmly.

After having lunch, the two of them went to the mall to do some shopping and didn't return home until late.

Eva had kept her phone on "Do Not Disturb❞ mode throughout the day. It was only when they arrived home that she turned off the "Do Not Disturb❞ mode.

She saw several messages from Jenny, all of them work-related. She replied to each one seriously, and after finishing, she noticed that Adrian had also sent her a few WeChat messages.

The first one said, "Where did you go?"

The second one came half an hour after the first, probably because she hadn't replied, so Adrian called her. "Why didn't you pick up the phone?"

The third one was in the afternoon, as he couldn't reach her all this time, so Adrian urged her. "Are you angry because of Vivian's matter?"

"Eva, answer the phone, I have something to tell you."

After that, Adrian probably didn't send any more messages because he didn't receive a reply from her.

Checking her phone, Eva realized that Adrian had called her more than ten times.

Initially, she thought that Adrian hadn't called her after the afternoon, based on the WeChat messages. But she didn't expect that there were actually more than ten calls, with the most recent one being fifteen minutes ago. Eva didn't anticipate this.

Just as she entered the house, before she could say anything, the butler hurriedly approached her.

"Madam, you're back."

The butler looked anxious as he scanned Eva from head to toe, making sure she was safe and seeing the shopping bags in her hands. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. "What happened?" Eva asked.

"Eva asked softly, 'What's the matter, sir?"" As she spoke, the butler took the initiative to step forward and carry her bags.

"Madam, did you go shopping today?"

"Yes, it's been a long time since I last went shopping, so I decided to go for a walk."

In reality, she went to the hospital today and was away from home all day. If she didn't bring back some things, she would feel guilty when someone asked her what she was doing. Shopping would be the best answer, and with so many bags, others shouldn't suspect anything.

"I see. Madam, why didn't you answer the phone? Mr. Adrian called you multiple times and was very worried."

Very worried? Eva's lips curled imperceptibly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

The choice of words... If she didn't know that the butler always speaks well of Adrian, she would've really thought that Adrian was really worried sick because of her.

The phone calls were probably made while he was in Vivian's hospital room, right?

"I had the do not disturb mode on before I went to bed last night, and I forgot to turn it off." Eva explained in a soft voice.

Upon hearing this, the butler's face lit up as if he suddenly understood.

When the butler was about to take the shopping bags from her, Eva said, "There's no need for you to carry them. I'm just going upstairs to organize everything; I can carry them myself." "Madam, let me carry them upstairs for you."

"No need, I can manage on my own." Eva declined the butler's offer and carried the bags upstairs.

The butler stood in place, awkwardly scratching his head, and just as he was about to call Adrian, his phone rang.

"Sir, yes, Madam just came back."

Eva, who was already climbing the stairs, heard the butler's report and pulled a hint of mockery at the corner of her lips.

He really cares about her. Constantly tracking her phone calls, if you have the ability, come out of the hospital room and say it.

Eva didn't turn around and carried the bags upstairs.

Because she had to organize things, Eva didn't rush to take a shower. She unpacked the bags and first gave the gifts prepared for her grandmother to her. Then she planned to go back and organize the rest.

Apart from being a good excuse, the main reason Eva went shopping was because she wanted to buy some loose-fitting clothes.

Before getting pregnant, her clothes were all fitted styles. Even though her belly was still small, even if she wore fitted clothes, it wouldn't be noticeable. However, she had to plan ahead and slowly replace her wardrobe so as to avoid drawing attention.

Luckily, it was winter right now.

Eva put the clothes in a basket. As she planned to take them downstairs to give them to the maid, she almost bumped into Adrian, who was going upstairs.

Adrian quickly stopped and leaned against the wall, his breathing unsteady as he stared at her.

Eva didn't expect him to come back so soon, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. "You..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Adrian grabbed her shoulder, and then she heard him gasping as he asked, "Where did you go? Why didn't you answer my calls? Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"

His grip was tight, right on Eva's arm. Instinctively, she frowned and tried to break free.

"If you're angry about what happened last night, then..."

"I'm not angry." Eva interrupted him, her voice firm.

He loosened his grip on her shoulder and took a step back.

With the basket in her hand, Eva calmly explained, "I didn't answer the call because I forgot to turn off the do not disturb mode, it wasn't intentional."

"Then you didn't look at your phone at all?" Adrian narrowed his eyes, clearly not believing it.

Eva's expression remained calm, "That's right, I really didn't look at it. I was out all-day shopping and didn't have time to check my phone."

Adrian then noticed the clothes basket she was holding, filled with the clothes she had bought today.

His gaze subtly changed.

"As for what happened last night, you don't have to keep dwelling on it, I've already figured it out."

Upon hearing this, Adrian narrowed his long eyes and stared at her intensely, "Figured out what?"

Eva smirked, "I think you were right, she couldn't handle the situation back then, so she shifted the blame onto me, which was correct." Adrian's pupils contracted.

"What did you say?"
