Chapter 110
There was a faint lemon scent on Mrs. Blackwood’s body, very refreshing.
When Eva hugged her, she felt both her body and mind relax, and she hugged her back tightly.
Female elders always made Eva especially fond of them.
Mrs. Blackwood also felt it and couldn’t help but reach out and flick Eva’s nose, “Are you missing your mom p>
The term “mom” shocked Eva for a long time, and it took her a while to regain her senses and nod. “Yeah, I miss you all p>
“Tsk, little girl, we miss you too.” After speaking, Mrs. Blackwood lightly pinched Eva’s cheek, feeling that her skin was incredibly soft. Unable to resist, she pinched it a couple more times, then turned to Mr. Blackwood and said, “Did you bring the gifts we got for Eva today p>
Upon hearing this, Mr. Blackwood reached into his pocket and fumbled around, then took out two boxes.
“I did p>
Mrs. Blackwood turned around and fetched them, then handed them to Eva.
“Here, these are the gifts your dad and I brought for you this time p>
In fact, not just now, even before she married Adrian, Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood would always give her gifts every time they saw her, and they were always very valuable.
If she didn’t accept them, Mrs. Blackwood would keep persuading her until she did.
So, when she received the gifts, Eva’s lips curved into a slight smile, and she reached out to take them with both hands.
“Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom p>
“Good girl p>
“You have a conscience, knowing to bring gifts for the child,” Granny Blackwood said.
“Of course, Mom. Eva takes such good care of you, and she’s, our daughter-in-law. Naturally, we want to give her the best p>
Everyone was happily chatting, and Eva put aside all her worries and troubles.
At this moment, Adrian came downstairs.
When he saw Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood, his originally cold expression softened a bit, but his complexion wasn’t good.
He hadn’t been getting enough rest lately, and on top of that, he hadn’t slept at all last night, so his eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles around them. He looked extremely exhausted.
Mrs. Blackwood only took a quick glance and her expression changed, but she didn’t say anything in front of Granny Blackwood to avoid putting pressure on her.
It wasn’t until after Granny Blackwood was sent off in the car that Mrs. Blackwood pulled Adrian aside and asked in a low voice, “What’s been going on with you these past few days? Your dark circles are so heavy. What have you been up to at night p>
Adrian glanced at Eva’s back, who was already getting into the car with Granny Blackwood, then withdrew his gaze and said calmly, “Nothing much p>
Upon hearing this, his mother sneered, “Did you forget who gave birth to you? Do you think you can hide things from me? Can you p>
Adrian didn’t even turn his head, his expression cold.
“So, what if I can’t p>
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Blackwood couldn’t help but roll her eyes, but because of her status as the Blackwood family matriarch, she didn’t show it openly. The minutes ticked by; Adrian remained silent.
“As expected, what did you do to upset Eva again? Eva has such a good temperament; how did you manage to upset her p>
A good temperament? Adrian sneered inwardly. She wouldn’t think that way if she had experienced Eva’s irritating way of speaking.
“Tsk, Adrian, what are you, a big man, arguing with your wife? When she’s angry, go and appease her, if once doesn’t work, try again, and keep persisting until she gives in. There’s nothing you can’t accomplish with a little persistence,” his mother advised.
“Like when you pursued my dad p>
Mother Blackwood, who had been happily teaching her son how to reconcile, suddenly found herself on the receiving end.
“What are you talking about? It was clearly your dad relentlessly pursued me, that’s why we’re here today, don’t you see p>
Adrian clicked his tongue and decided not to argue with her anymore. Sure, even if his mother had relentlessly pursued his father in the beginning, after all these years, his father, who loved his mother so much, would definitely spin the story and claim that he had pursued her first.
He had witnessed this kind of tactic enough times.
“What are you clicking your tongue for? Don’t you believe me? If you don’t, let’s ask your father face to face,” mother said displeased.
“Enough p>
Adrian’s expression was indifferent as he said, “Let’s get in the car, we still need to go to the hospital for a check-up p>
Having said that, without caring about his mother’s reaction, Adrian proceeded forward.
Mother Blackwood stood in place and was almost pissed off by him. She finally understood why he had quarreled with Eva. Her son’s personality was exactly the same as his father’s, he was both silent and gloomy.
Although others may be cold as an iceberg, her son was like a piece of elm wood. If Eva’s personality wasn’t like her own, then the two of them p>
Mrs. Blackwood sighed in her heart and followed suit, getting into the car. – There wasn’t enough room for everyone in the car, so Granny Blackwood said she would ride in her son and daughter-in-law’s car. Eva immediately followed her to the car. But just as she got on, she heard Granny Blackwood say to her, “Eva, you go and sit in Adrian’s car p>
Hearing this, Eva was stunned and a sense of unease rose up in her heart, “Granny p>
Could it be that she had discovered something? Otherwise, why would she want her to ride in Adrian’s car at this critical moment?
The next second, Granny Blackwood patted her hand as if to reassure her, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your mother, and there are some things I want to talk to her about p>
Upon hearing this, Eva breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just to talk to Mrs. Blackwood, then it was normal.
“Then, Granny, I’ll stay here with you and not interrupt p>
“Silly girl, I want to talk to her about some other things, why are you staying here with me? Hurry up and go p>
Granny Blackwood said, making Eva helpless, she could only nod. “Alright then.” She had no choice.
Eva got out of the car and immediately ran into Adrian walking towards her. Their eyes briefly met, and Eva pursed her lips and averted her gaze, then walked towards his car.
Adrian took large strides and entered the car before her. Initially, Eva was planning to sit in the back seat, but after some thought, she decided to get into the passenger seat instead.
As soon as she sat down and was about to fasten her seatbelt, she heard Adrian’s mocking voice. “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t get in my car? Why get in then p>
Upon hearing his words, Eva’s movements to fasten her seatbelt froze momentarily, but she composed herself and securely fastened the buckle.
“It’s not that I want to get in your car, but maybe this is our last journey together. Let’s part amicably p>
In fact, before getting into the car, Adrian’s mind full of the things his mother had told him.
“If she’s angry, go and soothe her. If one time isn’t enough, try again p>
He had mentally prepared himself, but seeing her walk towards the back seat and eventually hesitantly sit in the passenger seat made him feel uneasy. Hence, his words became defensive. And Eva’s response made him clench his teeth in anger. “What did you just say p>
