Chapter 574
“Eva,” Mr. Hansen’s eyes were moist as he softly called his daughter’s nickname.
Eva could hear the choke in his voice, and she felt as if something was stuck in her throat, making her unable to speak.
She bit her lower lip, intending to say something, but suddenly her arm tightened. Before she could react, she was pulled out of Mr. Hansen’s embrace. Then, a familiar but somewhat cold aura intruded her breath again.
Eva paused, raising her head to meet Adrian’s dark eyes.
He looked at her with affectionate eyes, but his tone was a bit helpless, “You’re all grown up, and yet you’re still clinging to your dad and crying?” After saying this, Adrian gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.
Eva blinked, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Seeing this, Mr. Hansen, who felt like he had just had something taken away from his grasp, darkened his old face and hummed heavily in his heart while looking at Adrian’s actions. This brat p>
On the surface, it seemed like he was caring for his Eva, scolding her for being a child who didn’t understand and was still clinging to her father crying.
But in reality, he just didn’t want Eva to have too much physical contact with him.
Mr. Hansen hadn’t expected that his son-in-law’s jealousy was so intense that he was even jealous of his own father-in-law.
Sure enough, after these thoughts passed through his mind, Mr. Hansen saw Adrian directly pull Eva domineeringly into his arms.
And his daughter, who seemed to have no awareness at all, snuggled into him after being pulled into his arms.
Hmph.
This brat, stealing his daughter from him.
The two drivers on the side didn’t notice anything and were still cheerfully saying, “Miss Eva, didn’t you say your family was coming together? Where are the others?” Mentioning this, Eva blushed a bit, “We walked ahead, so they’re a bit behind; they should be here soon p>
Sure enough, as her voice fell, Kim and Margaret gradually caught up.
Because of Kim and Margaret, and the two little ones attracting attention, Mr. Hansen, who initially focused all his attention on his daughter Eva, suddenly had no time to pay attention to her. The elders needed to have their own conversation, and they, of course, had to tease the children. They were too busy.
Eva and Adrian, who were neither big nor small, were naturally left aside.
After the greetings were almost done, everyone got in the car.
Because the elders needed to talk, Kim, Margaret, and Mr. Hansen took one car, and Eva and Adrian took another.
As for Ruby and Dylan, they also ran to another car.
On the way back, Adrian held Eva’s hand tightly all the way.
The driver had been driving here for a long time, so the journey was smooth. Avoiding the peak areas, they arrived home in no time.
The entrance of the Hansen family and the house were decorated with a special New Year atmosphere.
Even New Year songs were playing in the house.
Grace had arranged all these decorations, and many of them were done by her personally.
“Eva, you’re here p>
Eva didn’t have much impression of the person in front of her, but she had seen her photo in advance, so she knew who she was and hugged her. “Aunt, hello p>
Grace knew she had amnesia, so she didn’t recognize her now.
But upon hearing the familiar address and greeting from her mouth, she felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, when she used to call her aunt, her tone was affectionate, and her expression was sweet.
Grace had only one son. Although her son was also good to her, a mother and son were of different genders, so they didn’t have many things in common.
And men’s thoughts were always not as delicate as women’s.
He could hand over the money he earned to her, and even give her various gifts on holidays, but a son was, after all, a son, he wouldn’t lie beside her and chat with her.
So, Grace always wanted a daughter.
But she didn’t plan to remarry later, for fear that the new family would affect her son.
Later, when she was with Mr. Hansen, it was because they both wanted just one child.
Although she didn’t plan to have more children, after seeing Eva, Grace really liked her and wanted to treat her as her own child, but deep down she felt that she was not worthy. After all, she had never taken care of her, so how could she be her mother?
She would be too shameless.
So, it was normal for Eva to call her aunt instead of mom.
“Good.” Grace affectionately touched her hand, then looked at Adrian next to her and greeted him with a smile.
“This is Adrian, right p>
Adrian politely nodded to her, and like Eva, he also called her aunt.
Afterwards, everyone sat down and chatted for a while before starting dinner.
During dinner, the whole family was harmonious and joyful. Eva looked at the warm atmosphere in front of her and felt very content. She thought to herself that it would be wonderful if life could always continue like this.
Before, she had wanted to retrieve her lost memories, to understand why she had posted that message on Facebook. But at this moment, she felt… there was no need to know anymore. Some things, perhaps, were better off forgotten. She had been given a chance to forget the past, to say goodbye to pain. Why should she continue to seek unhappiness for herself? With this thought, Eva’s mood suddenly brightened. Some things really needed to be let go; otherwise, one would always be stuck in the past, sinking deeper and deeper.
After dinner, because it was getting late and they had been on a long flight, they didn’t chat much more. Instead, they were shown to the rooms that had been prepared for them. Mr. Hansen personally led Kim and Margaret, while Eva and Adrian were left to Grace.
Holding Eva’s hand with a gentle smile, Grace said, “I didn’t specifically prepare a room for you two. I just had the maid clean up your old room. As for Adrian… he’ll be sleeping in the same room with you, right p>
Even though they were already married, Eva’s cheeks still turned slightly red at Grace’s straightforward mention of sharing a room.
“Um, yes,” she responded.
