Chapter 183
The familiar voice made Adrian’s hand holding the phone pause. About a few seconds later, Adrian suddenly lowered his head.
But where was the figure of that child? After thanking Adrian, he had already entered the restroom, but now it was unknown which one he was in.
Adrian pursed his thin lips, standing still with a slight frown.
He couldn’t hear the person on the other end of the phone anymore, and he wondered if it was an illusion.
Or was it because the two children announced they wouldn’t be broadcasting for a while, so he started to think about them and heard the voice of the boy named Dylan on the livestream.
“Mr. Blackwood, regarding this collaboration, I actually have some other ideas. How about we arrange a time p>
The person on the other end was interrupted by Adrian’s cold voice before they could finish their sentence.
“Did you hear any noise just now p>
The interrupted collaborator was taken aback.
“Huh p>
“I can’t hear anything on my end p>
“Can you hear me p>
If it isn’t an illusion, the other person should be able to hear that gratitude.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed confused for a moment, not understanding what Adrian meant. However, after a moment’s thought, they remembered hearing that Adrian disliked noise. They had heard some unpleasant sounds earlier, but would it be okay to speak the truth directly to Adrian?
After much consideration, the person ultimately decided not to say anything.
“Mr. Blackwood, I don’t seem to have heard any sound. Is there something happening on your end p>
The cautious tone of the other person’s inquiry seemed as if nothing had happened just now.
Adrian narrowed his eyes and stared at his large hand placed on the door.
Could it have all been an illusion?
He didn’t dwell on it further, as Jacob suddenly rushed in, panting.
“Mr. Blackwood, I just retrieved your documents p>
Adrian cast an annoyed glance at him.
Jacob immediately straightened up and pursed his lips.
After a while, he said, “Shall we go through security first? There’s a cafe inside, it’s not convenient to discuss matters here p>
Jacob’s words made the person on the other end of the line change their tone immediately. “Yes, Mr. Blackwood, if you’re not available now, we can wait for you. You can go through security first.” After some thought, Adrian nodded and then hung up the phone. He walked out with a grim expression.
Jacob followed his steps closely.
People were coming and going outside the restroom. Jacob walked ahead, trailing alongside the cold-faced Adrian, but his gaze unwittingly glanced at one particular spot. Regrettably, when he had just entered, he saw a graceful figure. Although she was dressed simply, her figure was stunning. Just her back view alone made Jacob feel mesmerized. But when he entered the restroom, she had her back turned to him, and being the coward he was, he didn’t dare to turn and look at her face.
He had thought of looking when he came out, but who knew that in just a few blinks, she had disappeared.
Forget it, it seems he just doesn’t have the luck to see beautiful women.
Emily, holding her bag, came running towards the direction of the restroom.
As she neared the restroom, she intended to smile and walk past, but she abruptly halted her steps upon seeing a cold and handsome face, quickly turning her back. “Mr. Blackwood, please wait for me p>
It wasn’t until the two walked past her that Emily, shocked, lifted her head and stared at their retreating figures.
She widened her eyes in disbelief. Was that person Adrian?
Adrian!
She never expected to encounter him at the capital airport after all these years.
If she wasn’t mistaken, that person had just come out of the restroom, right? Oh no!
“Eva p>
Emily swiftly ran towards the direction of the restroom. When she was queuing earlier, she had just realized something: Dylan is a boy, not Eva.
She wouldn’t take him into the women’s restroom, and at the same time, she couldn’t follow Dylan into the men’s restroom, which would make things very inconvenient and troublesome. That’s why Emily immediately ran over, hoping to wait outside and see if there was anything she could help with. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Adrian.
The last time she saw Adrian was a distant memory. Five years had passed, and the current Adrian had the stature and appearance of a mature man, looking much more stable. However, his whole aura was colder and more powerful. Even from a distance, she could feel the coldness emanating from Adrian’s bones. His features were also sharper and more handsome than before. This was why Emily could spot him in the crowd at a glance. He was indeed handsome! No wonder Eva had liked him back then and still couldn’t forget him after all these years. If he wasn’t the man her sister liked, Emily would definitely fall for him because of his looks.
When Emily finally made it to the restroom, she saw Eva coming out with Ruby. She rushed forward, gasping for breath as she spoke. “Eva p>
“Eva?” Eva seemed somewhat surprised to see her. “Why are you here p>
Because Emily was in a hurry and also nervous, she was almost out of breath. “I thought it might be inconvenient for you to take care of two kids, so I came to find you. Are you alright?” After saying that, Emily even inspected Eva from head to toe and circled around her twice, completely clueless about what was going on.
“What about Dylan?” Eva handed Ruby over to Emily to take care of and went to wait outside the men’s restroom.
Ruby suddenly ran out and called for her earlier, so she had to go in for a while. In such a short time, Dylan shouldn’t come out yet. As expected, she waited for about a minute and then saw a small figure. “Mommy,” Dylan obediently called
out.
Only then did Eva take the two little ones outside to wash their hands. Her movements were subtle, her expression focused, as if she hadn’t been affected by anything.
As Emily watched from the side, seeing everything going on as usual with Eva, she couldn’t help but ask in a skeptical tone, “Eva, are you really okay p>
Could it be that she was putting up a brave front?
After drying the hands of the two babies, Eva looked at Emily. “What could be wrong with me? What happened to you today p>
“Nothing, actually what I mean is, did you encounter any strange people in the restroom?” Emily’s gaze drifted.
“Strange people?” Eva narrowed her eyes. “What kind of people would you consider strange p>
Upon hearing this, Emily felt completely relieved. She had been worried that Eva would be upset deep down but would pretend to be calm and indifferent on the surface. However, now it seemed that Eva hadn’t run into Adrian. Although she didn’t know why the restroom was so small that they didn’t bump into each other, fate could be so mysterious sometimes. It brought you to the same location but kept you unaware of each other’s presence. And she passed by.
If Emily hadn’t seen it, perhaps Eva would never have known that she met Adrian at the airport today.
