Chapter 135
Eva regained her senses and then shook her head quietly.
Her hand was still hanging on Adrian’s neck. After thinking for a moment, Eva withdrew her hand.
As soon as she moved, Adrian coldly said, “Hold on p>
To be honest, Eva didn’t want to comply.
Adrian probably noticed her intentions, so when she was about to let go, he deliberately loosened his grip on her hand. Almost as a reflex, Eva tightly clasped Adrian’s neck.
Her wrist was soft, and her fair skin formed a sharp contrast against his neck.
After realizing what she had just done, Eva’s expression changed.
Sensing the smoothness of her skin, Adrian’s lips curled up slightly.
“Hold on, don’t let go p>
This time, Eva didn’t let go, but she fell into her own thoughts, occasionally glancing at Adrian.
Walking while holding her, Adrian effortlessly moved with steady breathing and steps.
From her perspective, she could see Adrian’s smooth and delicate jawline, as well as his lips that still had a slight curl. She couldn’t understand p>
If she had already given up on him today because he didn’t answer her call, no… it should be even earlier.
Then what did Adrian’s actions mean now?
Did he even know what he was doing?
Both of them were already getting divorced, yet he was still teasing her like this.
Brent followed behind while holding something, and when he saw Adrian holding Eva, he couldn’t hide his smile.
This truly was a perfect match.
Adrian finally came to his senses and directly called him over to bring something, and he even knew to hold Ms. Hansen while coming out. Hopefully, Adrian would cut off ties with that woman named Vivian in the future. He didn’t want the Blackwood family to suddenly have a new mistress.
Brent placed the things in the car, waved goodbye to Adrian and Eva, and watched them leave.
On the way back.
The car’s air conditioning was on, and the temperature was much warmer than outside. Eva was wrapped in Adrian’s coat, sitting quietly.
The car was warm and cozy, making one feel drowsy.
After sitting for a while, Eva started to feel sleepy.
She was about to lean against the seat and rest her eyes for a bit when Adrian in the driver’s seat spoke.
“What do you think of Michael p>
Hearing him speak to her, Eva’s drowsiness decreased by half, and she turned to look at him.
“What p>
Adrian’s thin lips twitched, and he said coldly, “He saved you. Are you grateful to him p>
Grateful? Eva didn’t think much and nodded.
“Naturally p>
Michael arrived there and saved her, then took her to the hospital for a check-up. He had been taking care of her attentively during that time.
And most importantly, he learned about her pregnancy news, but because she didn’t want to tell Adrian, she chose to help her.
The respect and understanding made Eva extremely grateful.
Seeing that she admitted almost without any hesitation, Adrian’s brows furrowed harshly.
“Do you really like him?” Eva thought she heard a big joke and squinted at him.
“What does my gratitude have to do with liking someone p>
Adrian pursed his lips and impulsively said, “If you don’t like him, would you let him stay by your hospital bed? And sleep so soundly for such a long time, not afraid that someone else might have ulterior motives towards you?” Upon hearing this, Eva understood everything.
No wonder he acted so strangely in front of Michael today.
So he misunderstood that she liked Michael?
I see… She thought he was teasing her, turns out she was just being imaginative.
With this in mind, Eva closed her eyes and responded unreservedly, “He saved me, but for the time being, I won’t have any other feelings towards him besides gratitude. You don’t need to worry about that, after all, there are only a few people like you p>
With that, the car fell silent.
Eva suddenly felt like she may have gone too far with her words!
But then she thought, if he can speculate about her and Michael, then there shouldn’t be a problem with her saying a few things about him.
If he wants to get angry, then let him get angry. Anyway, Grandma’s surgery is already over, so she doesn’t have much to worry about.
Sure enough, Adrian remained silent for the rest of the journey, not saying a word. He escorted her back home.
After parking, Eva didn’t rush to get out of the car, but asked, “How is Grandma’s condition now?” Adrian stayed quiet for a moment, then said, “It’s fine.” “That’s good, how long does she need to be observed p>
“48 hours p>
After this number was mentioned, both of them fell into silence for a long time.
At this moment, they both thought of the same thing.
“Then Eva looked at Adrian and whispered, “48 hours is a bit rushed, how about three days later p>
Hearing this, Adrian looked at her.
In the dimly lit car, Eva’s expression was calm, and her pale lips gave her a sickly and fragile beauty.
Adrian’s lips remained straight.
Just a while ago, she was still in his embrace, intimately hugging his neck.
Now she’s wearing his coat, but she’s already discussing the day they will get divorced.
He should agree. After all, they had already agreed that once Grandma’s surgery was over, this fake marriage would come to an end.
But for some reason, Adrian’s heart secretly rebelled, as if there was a voice telling him not to get divorced.
Once they get divorced, he will completely lose her.
“Three days later, by then Grandma’s condition should have stabilized, let’s go get the divorce certificate first, and then p>
“Let’s wait a bit longer.” Suddenly, Adrian interrupted her.
Upon hearing this, Eva was stunned. “Wait a bit longer p>
What are you waiting for?
He shouldn’t be in a rush to divorce and be with Vivian, right?
“Well.” Adrian’s voice was hoarse and his eyes were dark. “Wait a little longer. Grandma needs time to recover after her surgery. If we divorce too soon, I’m worried it will be too much for her.” Eva didn’t say anything; she was deep in thought.
Adrian’s reasoning seemed reasonable, and there didn’t seem to be any problem with waiting a little longer.
“What’s wrong?” Adrian asked when she remained silent for a while. The color in his eyes deepened. “Can’t you wait a few more days? Are you in a hurry p>
Hearing his words, Eva snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head.
“No, I think you’re right. Let’s wait a few more days. I didn’t think it through, and Grandma does need time to recover p>
Her understanding attitude left Adrian speechless once again.
It was as if she had genuinely considered the consequences and, out of rationality, agreed to postpone the divorce.
This unfamiliar pain caused Adrian to pause, and a strange feeling spread from his chest.
