Chapter 216
When they arrived at the hotel, it was still early, so Eva booked a suite and checked in for half a month.
After completing all the formalities, the hotel staff personally escorted her upstairs.
“Madam, the suite you have booked has a private outdoor pool. However, as it is winter now, the pool area is not open. Also, since you are with two children, it is better not to access it.” “Okay.” The thoughtful reminder from the staff made Eva gratefully nodding, “I understand, thank you p>
The hotel suite conditions were excellent. When the door was pushed open, a faint fragrance greeted them, and there was no dampness in the air.
The staff went in to inspect the equipment and check the divided swimming pool area to ensure everything was in order before leaving.
Eva took out the necessary items and set them up. The two little ones busied themselves by her side, only stopping when she did.
Then the two of them leaned on her leg, looking up at her with their little faces and asking,
“Mummy, did you have a fight with Aunt Lisa p>
Eva didn’t want the children to know about the unpleasantness between adults, so she had to come up with another excuse.
“Ruby, we didn’t fight. It’s just that Aunt Lisa wants to have her own space, just like you and your brother each having a separate room to sleep in. Do you understand p>
Hearing this, Ruby tilted her head and said, “But when we stayed there, Aunt Lisa didn’t sleep with Mummy either p>
“Well, yes, we didn’t sleep together. But Lisa paid for the house and she doesn’t want us to pay rent. We can’t keep staying there without leaving, right p>
At this point, Ruby finally nodded in agreement. “It seems so p>
On the other hand, Dylan remained silent the whole time. His character was different from Ruby’s, and he naturally thought more.
Eva had no choice but to gently explain, “Don’t think too much, the two of you just need to follow Mummy wherever she goes, alright? So just stay with Mummy peacefully.” After arranging the two little ones to sleep, Eva opened her notebook and began making plans.
Staying at a hotel was not a long-term solution. If renting a house, she had to find one near her company. Eva started looking for locations and then went on a maternity nurse website. Fortunately, the two children could go to school during the day, so she had the whole day to busy herself with these preparations.
Eva stayed up late and finally fell asleep, her head resting on the table.
Next day, she was awakened by her phone vibrating.
In a daze, Eva took out her phone to answer the call.
“Hello?” As soon as she spoke, Eva’s voice became completely hoarse, and her own raspy voice startled her.
“Eva?” Michael’s concerned voice came from the other end of the phone.
Eva covered her phone and cleared her throat a few times before approaching again. “It’s me p>
But Eva didn’t know if she caught a cold or something last night, even after clearing her throat, her voice was still unusually hoarse. “What’s wrong p>
“It’s nothing, maybe I ate too much spicy food p>
There was a moment of silence from Michael’s side. “I’m at the door now, and I brought breakfast for you, but I don’t have the password for this place.” Half an hour later, Eva opened the hotel suite door to let Michael in.
The breakfast that Michael carried had already turned cold in this temperature, and as he entered and saw Eva’s pale smile, his face also lost its warmth. “Why didn’t you tell me p>
“It’s not a big deal, there was no need to bother you with it p>
“Tell me,” Michael said after a moment of silence, “why didn’t you go to the house I prepared for you? Ruby has the keys p>
“You know it was Ruby who took them, not me p>
“Eva p>
“I’ll see what you brought to eat.” Eva took the breakfast from his hands and realized it had gone cold, so she took it to the kitchen to heat it up. Michael watched her slender figure, his gaze growing heavy.
She moved in here in the middle of the night, and he had a hand in it.
But he didn’t expect her to be so fast, not even saying a word to him.
When would he finally be able to enter her heart?
Lisa didn’t sleep well last night.
She finally fell into a deep sleep when dawn was approaching.
But she woke up after only a few hours because she was still thinking about today’s lunch appointment.
It was quite surprising that Mr. Blackwood, before leaving yesterday, willingly asked for her contact information and arranged to have lunch today.
After assuring him that she would bring someone along, he left.
However, she couldn’t bring Eva with her today, so she would have to find a way to explain it to him later.
At this moment, Lisa had completely forgotten the words Eva had entrusted to her.
After freshening up and putting on makeup, Lisa realized it was almost time and left her place, heading to the restaurant where they had agreed to meet.
This restaurant was quite upscale, and she had been here a few times with her friends.
After informing the waiter about her appointment, he led her to the private room upstairs.
“Miss, this way, please p>
Upon entering the room, Lisa was surprised to find the cold, noble man already sitting inside.
Subconsciously, she took out her phone to check the time.
Since she valued him so much, Lisa arrived early to avoid traffic or any unforeseen circumstances that could make him angry and ruin any chance of further interaction.
But she didn’t expect that she would arrive half an hour early, and he was already there. There were still twenty minutes until the appointed time.
Instantly, Lisa’s favorable impression of him increased.
“Mr. Blackwood, hello. I didn’t expect you to arrive so early p>
Lisa greeted him warmly.
However, the man’s gaze didn’t land on her; instead, it fell on the empty seat behind her. After waiting for a while and still not seeing the person he was looking for, Adrian’s face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, “Where is she?” Lisa knew he would ask and had already prepared her response.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Blackwood, but my friend couldn’t make it. She had something else to attend to. However, don’t worry, I explained your intentions to her last night, and she has forgiven you p>
Lisa had no choice but to say this for now.
Unexpectedly, the man across from her narrowed his eyes dangerously, staring at her.
“She said she forgives me herself p>
His gaze was sharp and intimidating. Lisa felt threatened by his scrutiny.
The man’s gaze made her feel guilty.
“Yes.” she replied.
The next moment, the man looked at her mockingly and let out a sneer, then turned away and left on his own.
Lisa was left standing alone in place. What just happened?
