Chapter 187
The person on the phone happened to be their business partner.
After the conversation was almost done, Adrian hung up without mercy, leaving the rest of the matter for Jacob to handle.
cob could only submit to fate and deal with the matter at hand, but he couldn’t stop thinking about the two children he had just seen.
After careful consideration, Jacob decided to take the risk and mention it to Adrian. “Mr. Blackwood, I saw two children just now p>
Before he could finish his sentence, Adrian gave him a warning look. In response to his gaze, Jacob reluctantly continued, “Those two children seemed to be the ones you often watch in live streams.” Adrian’s fingertips paused, and he also stopped rearranging his briefcase. Then he abruptly looked up. “What did you say p>
Jacob scratched his head awkwardly. “I’m not sure, since I only saw one side of their faces. But those two children looked very similar, like a pair of twins. I guess they might be p>
“Where?” Without letting Jacob finish his sentence, Adrian stood up.
“Huh? They left Jacob pointed outside.
Just as he said that, the tall figure in front of Jacob disappeared. After a moment of confusion, Jacob finally reacted and quickly packed his things, then followed after him.
In the vast airport, people were coming and going. By the time Adrian chased outside, there was no familiar figure to be found. Even if parents passed by with children, they were not the same pair of children. Adrian searched several times, but still couldn’t find them.
It wasn’t until Jacob caught up panting that he said, “Mr. Blackwood, it’s not easy to find someone in such a big airport… Maybe we should give up p>
Upon hearing this, Adrian glanced at him. That one glance felt as sharp as a knife. “Why didn’t you say so earlier p>
Indeed, he blamed Jacob for being too talkative at that time, but now he blamed him for not speaking up.
Either way, the blame rested on Jacob.
“Mr. Blackwood, I wanted to tell you, but you suddenly received a phone call, and I was afraid of disturbing Jacob explained as he scratched his head. “Next time something like this happens, just tell me,” Adrian furrowed his brows.
Upon hearing that, Jacob instinctively asked, “Next time? Will there be a next time p>
Fate is a strange thing.
Sometimes, some people only meet once in a lifetime, and they may never meet again.
They had met this time, but there was no guarantee they would meet again.
Adrian paused, his gaze slightly lowered.
Yes, where would there be a next time?
After a few seconds of contemplation, Adrian pursed his lips and said coldly, “Get ready to board p>
“Okay,” Jacob replied, holding his briefcase and keeping pace with him.
Curiosity got the better of him on the way, prompting him to ask Adrian, “Mr. Blackwood, why do you like those two children so much p>
Adrian’s face darkened, and he didn’t answer his question.
However, he didn’t seem angry, so Jacob continued to ask, “If you really like those two children, why don’t you contact them? After all, you’ve donated so much money. If you want to meet them, they shouldn’t refuse.” Upon hearing this, Adrian finally gave him a glance.
“Two children? Am I a trafficker p>
Which trafficker would pay so much money?
Do they take the traffickers for fools?
“No, it’s just that the mother of those two children always said not to reward you, right? Did she mention anything about returning the money? If she did, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity to meet her?” Adrian remained silent.
But Jacob’s words stuck with him.
Meet her in this opportunity?
In fact, Adrian couldn’t understand why he was so fond of those two children, maybe because their smiles were too dazzling.
Looking at them was like seeing sunshine.
Bright, lovely, vibrant.
Completely different from him, who lived in darkness.
He was full of hostility, indifference, and a bad temper, not easy to get along with.
But if this strange situation reached others’ ears, they might think he had a problem, why he unreasonably liked those two children.
With this in mind, Adrian closed his eyes and said in a low voice, “No need p>
Just watching them on the phone was enough.
The fact that the two children lived so vibrantly showed that their upbringing was good. Adrian was just an audience seeking a bit of warmth through their livestream, so why disturb their lives? Perhaps, it would only cause them trouble.
Jacob suddenly felt a change in Adrian’s aura, instantly turning dark and deep, as if the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees.
Well, Jacob had already gotten used to Adrian’s easily changeable mood swings over the past five years.
Eva was waiting for them at the boarding gate.
David messaged that they were coming to find her, so Eva sat in her seat and waited.
Carrying their luggage, David saw Eva sitting pale-faced from afar, and his expression changed slightly.
No wonder Mr. Cooper told them to take care of her. Eva must be feeling really unwell during her period. “Ms. Hansen p>
“Mama p>
As soon as David approached, he immediately handed the hot cocoa in his hand to Eva.
“Just bought it, still hot. Ms. Hansen, drink it while it’s warm, it’ll warm your belly p>
Hearing this, Eva paused for a moment, and a few seconds later, she realized that David probably guessed her condition.
She didn’t make a fuss and reached out to accept it. “Thank you p>
“You’re welcome, please drink it quickly p>
After drinking a few sips of the hot cocoa, Eva finally felt some relief in her aching lower abdomen. However, the aftermath of eating ice cream last night was still strong, and her complexion remained pale. Dylan watched from the side and tenderly placed his own hot cocoa on Eva’s stomach.
“Mama, let me apply my hot cocoa for you p>
Hearing this, Ruby blinked her eyes, thinking of offering her own hot cocoa, but she saw that it was nearly empty, with just a few sips left.
At this point, it seemed useless to offer it.
David watched from the side and sighed.
David said, “It would be great if we had a hot water bottle at this time p>
He also realized how difficult it is for women during their menstrual period.
Having to endure and rush to catch the flight, Ms. Hansen must be extremely uncomfortable.
With that in mind, David pushed the suitcase in front of Eva.
“Ms. Hansen, why don’t you sit on this, and I’ll push you when we board p>
Initially in extreme discomfort from the pain in her lower abdomen, Eva looked at the suitcase pushed in front of her, then at David, who was smiling kindly and concerned. She couldn’t help but curl her lips. It’s not necessary, really.
“Ms. Hansen, please sit up,” David continued to beckon her.
Eva could only awkwardly say, “No need, David, I can manage this short journey myself p>
She was just having menstrual cramps, not a leg injury.
Besides, sitting on a suitcase while being pushed?
She still had her pride p>
“You really don’t need to be polite, Ms. Hansen. Please sit up and let me push you,” David insisted.
