Chapter 71
Adrian p>
How could he be here p>
Eva was on the verge of screaming.
Wasn’t he supposed to be dealing with work? Why was he in the study, and in complete silence? She didn’t hear a sound from him when she arrived.
Did she just… mention the word “baby p>
And Adrian happened to come in at that moment. Did he hear the crucial word? Or p>
Eva’s face turned pale as snow. She anxiously stared at Adrian, biting her lip in an attempt to appear calm.
Adrian didn’t expect her to come to the study.
Seeing the bewildered expression on her face, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Lately, she had been acting like a startled bird, as if she was hiding something from him. Adrian pursed his thin lips and squinted his sharp eyes, focusing his gaze on Eva’s pale face.
“Who were you talking to just now p>
Eva was taken aback.
Did this question mean that Adrian didn’t actually hear what she said?
But Eva couldn’t be certain. What if Adrian did hear and was purposely asking to test her?
Considering this, Eva regained her composure and spoke softly, “Why are you here? I thought you were going to the office p>
She was dodging the question.
“Video conference. No need to go to the office p>
“Oh.” Eva nodded. “I thought you went to the office, so I used your study. Jenny had some questions, so I explained it to her.” She believed her tone was calm, without any abnormalities.
Adrian calmly examined her expressions, not speaking. His gaze seemed to be probing into her inch by inch.
Those pitch-black, profound eyes seemed to be able to see into her soul.
“You seem nervous p>
Eva: p>
Adrian walked forward and stood in front of her, almost pressing against her. The scent of his hormones instantly enveloped her. Subconsciously, Eva took a step back.
But right after she moved, she felt a pair of hands grasp her slender waist, applying just a bit of force. Eva bumped into Adrian’s chest. “It seems I was right. You really are nervous p>
Adrian’s tone was leisurely as he used a little force with the hand on her waist, gently supporting her soft flesh. He narrowed his eyes. “Who were you talking to just now p>
The same question again!
Eva wasn’t sure if he actually heard what she said. After all, she thought the study was empty, so she spoke at a normal volume. There was a fifty percent chance that Adrian could hear the content of her words. She didn’t know now, so she couldn’t panic.
Eva looked up and met his gaze directly. “Didn’t I just tell you? I was handling work, so I had a phone call with Jenny p>
“Really p>
Adrian didn’t believe it and sneered, “Eva, do you think you’re skilled at deceiving people p>
Eva’s heart and mind were on edge.
“Who deceived you p>
She gritted her teeth and said, “Adrian, if you don’t trust me, then don’t ask me p>
After speaking, Eva forcefully shook off his hand.
Seeing this, Adrian’s handsome face turned cold, and his eyes stared at her with a gloomy expression.
“Are you throwing a fit? Looks like I guessed right. Since you say you didn’t deceive me, then dare you show me the call records p>
“Call records p>
This request made Eva show an expression of speechlessness and choked for a while before saying, “How old are you? Are you immature, asking to see call records p>
Her chin was held by Adrian. His voice turned cold as he said, “You mind your own business p>
“Funny.” Eva shrugged her shoulders, “who said I’m minding your business? It’s up to you how you want to be p>
Adrian spread his hands towards her, expressionless. “Alright then, show me the call records p>
“Adrian, are you crazy p>
“Didn’t you say it’s up to you what you want to do p>
“I said it’s up to you what you want to do, not what you want to do to me. Is it so hard to understand p>
“What? Didn’t you have a conversation with Jenny? Why you can’t show me the call records? Or is it that the person you were talking to was actually someone else p>
Adrian asked, “Is it your brother, Carter p>
Eva finally understood why he was probing her and why he was acting so strangely.
He could only hear himself talking but couldn’t comprehend the actual content. So, when he saw her in a panic, he misunderstood that she was talking to Carter instead of Jenny. Carter p>
This was the third time Adrian had gone mad because of him.
And this reason made Eva silent, at the same time, she let go of the anxiety hanging in the air.
If that was the case, then she didn’t care anymore.
Seeing her silence, Adrian’s expression became extremely ugly.
“Why aren’t you saying anything p>
Silence meant he’s right. Could it be that she really was talking to Carter on the phone just now?
Although Adrian couldn’t clearly hear what she was saying, he could sense her gentle tone, which was different from her usual interactions with him.
Even vaguely, he heard words like baby, eating, and resting.
Combined, it was probably her calling the other person baby and telling them to go eat and rest!
Just thinking of the woman in front of him, who was still sharing a bed with him, calling another man baby, made Adrian’s anger almost reach its peak.
And what made him even angrier was Eva’s indifferent attitude. After hearing his questioning, she even shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.
“Because there’s nothing else to say. Whatever you say, you’re right p>
Earlier, she had confidently claimed that she was talking to Jenny, but after being exposed, she suddenly became indifferent.
Thinking of this, Adrian squeezed her chin, causing Eva to furrow in pain.
This time, he didn’t call her by her nickname but coldly addressed her by her full name.
“Eva, before we get divorced, if you dare to have any unclear relationship with other men, do you believe me when I say I’ll ruin him p>
Eva was originally too lazy to bother with him, but she didn’t expect him to say such things. She was speechless.
“When did I ever have an unclear relationship with other men? And who are you to say that? Fine, even if it’s true that I have unclear relationships with other men, it’s none of your business. Do you think your relationship with Vivian is pure and innocent p>
If he really wanted to argue about this, Eva didn’t think she couldn’t win against him.
“You should be very clear about the relationship between me and Carter, from childhood to now. But what about you and Vivian? She has already come to visit you, so is your relationship with her clear p>
Adrian frowned at these words.
“She came to me because she knows the truth p>
“What truth does she know? The truth about our fake marriage? If she can come to you because she knows the truth about our fake marriage, then why can’t Carter come to me? Adrian, she can come to your doorstep, even wear my clothes, but I can’t make a phone call with a man. Is that what you mean p>
