Chapter 66
Adrian furrowed, his dark eyes emitting a cold light. The pressure was so heavy that Eva thought he was about to do something again. He turned and left.
Eva let out a sigh of relief, but couldn’t help but mockingly curl her lips.
Vivian stood outside the door, anxiously twisting her ten fingers together. If she hadn’t misheard earlier, Adrian’s voice sounded quite irritable. Irritable as if something important had been interrupted.
This state made Vivian extremely worried.
And even knowing who knocked the door, Adrian still hadn’t come to open the door for a long time, further unsettling Vivian.
What is he doing in the room? Why hasn’t he come to open the door for so long?
Vivian’s mind was in chaos, and finally, the door in front of her opened.
She raised her head abruptly to look at Adrian, carefully looking at him.
Hmm, he was still wearing the same clothes as before he went upstairs. The coat was still on, though it seemed a bit wrinkled. Vivian quickly told herself in her mind that it was normal for clothes to have a few wrinkles and didn’t mean anything.
After reassuring herself, Vivian raised her head and froze after seeing a small wound on Adrian’s thin lips p>
The wound was very faint, and if she hadn’t been close and observed carefully, she wouldn’t have noticed it at all.
Adrian didn’t notice her astonishment and casually asked, “Why did you come here p>
Vivian recovered herself and awkwardly tugged at her lips.
“I, I didn’t have a suitable nightgown, so I wanted to come over and borrow one from Eva p>
Borrow a nightgown from Eva?
Adrian couldn’t help but furrow. “Didn’t the servants prepare one for you p>
Vivian shook her head.
Upon hearing this, Adrian pursed his lips, seemingly displeased.
Afraid that he might get angry, Vivian quickly said, “Adrian, don’t be angry. I just arrived today, so it’s normal for them not to prepare in advance. I’ll just borrow from Eva. I’m just not sure if it’s convenient for her.” Adrian frowned, thinking of someone wreaking havoc in the bathroom.
Perhaps she wouldn’t be willing, and even if she did lend the clothes, after Vivian left, she might say something sarcastic to provoke him.
While pondering, Eva’s voice came from behind.
“Don’t say that, Vivian. It’s my pleasure. Come in p>
Upon hearing this, Adrian instinctively turned his head.
Eva was standing there, smiling slightly towards Vivian. She had already tidied up. Her hair was freshly combed, and the clothes that had been wrinkled were now smooth, revealing no signs of anything amiss. But as a woman, how could Vivian not notice that Eva had lipstick on her lips before going upstairs, but now there was no trace of it?
And Adrian had a wound on his lips p>
Vivian had to make an effort to maintain a smile and followed Eva inside.
“Follow me p>
Walking and surveying the area, their bedroom was quite large, and the bathroom was equivalent to an ordinary person’s bedroom. Vivian came from a wealthy family, so she didn’t find this kind of construction strange. However, when she followed Eva into the walk-in closet that occupied one-third of the bedroom, and saw that the entire closet was filled with luxury brand clothes, bags, and jewelry, she felt a little uncomfortable. Eva stopped in front of a section.
“Take a look for yourself. If there’s anything suitable, you can take it. You can also take the clothes you want to change into tomorrow morning p>
Both of them had similar height and weight, so Eva wasn’t worried that the clothes won’t fit.
Only the tow of them stood in the spacious walk-in closet.
Vivian looked at her but didn’t hurry to pick clothes.
Seeing that Vivian was staring at her, Eva guessed that she had something to say. Since Vivian didn’t speak up, she just waited.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Vivian couldn’t hold back and whispered, “Eva, you broke your promise p>
Hearing this, Eva paused.
“When did I break my promise p>
Vivian stared at her red lips with unwavering eyes.
“Before going upstairs, you applied lipstick p>
Upon hearing this, Eva finally understood that Vivian meant her lipstick was gone.
Indeed, that had happened, and she didn’t seem to have any way to deny it.
“So, you broke the agreement. Eva, you’re not trustworthy at all p>
“No.” Eva shook her head. “I am trustworthy. If it weren’t for Granny, I wouldn’t have voluntarily approached him p>
This statement deeply affected Vivian, and she immediately sneered, “So what you’re saying is Adrian approached you voluntarily p>
Eva didn’t confirm or deny it.
“Don’t joke around. He couldn’t possibly do something like that p>
She had come back, so how could Adrian still be entangled with Eva?
Hearing this, Eva helplessly shrugged her shoulders. “Miss Morrison, if I were untrustworthy, you probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to stand here. I don’t even need to do anything. I can simply report this to Granny Blackwood.” As soon as Granny Blackwood was mentioned, Vivian’s face changed.
“Why did Granny Blackwood suddenly decide not to have the surgery? Did you say something to her p>
Everything had been fine before, so why did she suddenly change her mind? Vivian always suspected that Eva might have disclosed or hinted something to Granny Blackwood.
Hearing this, Eva’s expression turned cold.
“I want Granny to be well more than anyone else p>
Her serious demeanor left Vivian stunned for a moment. After a moment, she sneered in her heart. What was she pretending for? Did she really care about Granny if it wasn’t because of Adrian?
Some things need to be broken in order to be rebuilt. Eva didn’t like how Vivian always caused trouble for her, so she cut the chase, “If you really don’t trust me, then our agreement can be canceled.” Canceled?
How could that be possible?
She shouldn’t even think about it!
“Eva, don’t be angry. I misunderstood earlier, so I was a little anxious. I still trust you a lot, or why would I let you do me a favor? I got a little impatient and said something irrational because I really like Adrian. But don’t worry. I’ll try not to bring it up again in the future p>
After finishing her words, Vivian took a few steps forward, as if wanting to hold Eva’s hand.
Eva took two steps back, avoiding her touch.
“What are you doing?” Adrian’s cold voice echoed outside the dressing room.
Vivian’s face changed and she quickly replied, “We were choosing clothes. We’ll be out soon p>
After saying that, Vivian didn’t care about maintaining a relationship with Eva anymore. She randomly picked a few items in the dressing room and then opened the door to leave.
Once outside, Adrian’s gaze fell on Vivian’s face. “Did you get it p>
Vivian smiled faintly at him. “Yes, I got it. I’ll go back to my room now p>
Adrian nodded solemnly.
Due to being in the Blackwood family, they didn’t want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so Adrian didn’t go to see Vivian off. She quickly left.
After she walked away, Eva emerged from the dressing room.
Adrian pursed his lips, his gaze complex as he stared at her.
“What were you both talking about there p>
