Chapter 258
If his complexion wasn’t so pale and if he wasn’t so resistant towards her, maybe she wouldn’t be suspicious.
But the current Adrian, with his strange gestures, including his assistant Jacob, made her wonder.
With this in mind, Eva pursed her lips and said, “Why should you decide where I sit? Don’t forget, this is a deal, and I want to sit in the back.” After speaking, Eva completely ignored Adrian’s objection and directly got into the car.
Silence.
After she sat down, Jacob glanced at Adrian secretly and raised an eyebrow. He whispered, “Mr. Blackwood, should we just leave it like this p>
Adrian didn’t respond, but his expression was sour.
However, Eva preemptively said, “Let’s go, Jacob.” “Alright p>
As the car drove away, Eva observed Adrian’s movements next to her. Unexpectedly, he moved away from her and leaned against the window, only showing her the back of his head. Well, now Eva couldn’t see any subtle expressions on his face at all.
Originally, she wanted to see if he was having a stomachache based on the subtle movements on his face, but now she couldn’t see anything.
But she had been taking care of him for several days, so it shouldn’t be that serious, right?
Upon arriving at the airport, Eva received a call from Michael.
“Are you going back to New York p>
Although Michael was trying his best to hold himself back, Eva still heard his breathing through the phone.
It sounded like he had stopped after running vigorously and called her without catching his breath.
Eva calmly replied, “Hmm, I’m going back for a while. I’ll be back tomorrow p>
Adrian beside her frowned displeasingly when he saw her answering the phone.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before Michael’s voice came back, “Are you going with him?” “Yes p>
Michael fell into silence again. “Eva, can I ask for the reason p>
Without looking back, Eva directly replied, “I have important matters to attend to in New York p>
She didn’t explain that it was regarding the
Michael understood what she meant when she mentioned it.
“Okay, then be careful, and I’ll pick you up when you come back,” Michael said.
Eva didn’t even think about it and refused, “No need, I can go back to the company by myself when I arrive. You don’t have to come and pick me up.” “Why do you always reject me?” Michael’s breathing had calmed down a bit. “Don’t I even have a chance to show my feelings now p>
Eva pursed her lips, feeling her breath becoming difficult. “It’s not like that, I just p>
“Alright then, after you purchase your return flight, send me the flight number, and I’ll come pick you up tomorrow p>
His tone was firm, and for a moment Eva didn’t know what else to say. After a while, Michael hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone coming from her phone, Eva felt a bit dazed.
This was the first time he hung up on her. It was probably because she was going to New York with Adrian that things ended up like this. But she had to go back to New York with Adrian.
If she went alone, she wouldn’t even know in which cemetery her grandmother was buried.
Thinking of this, Eva put away her phone and headed back.
As she approached, she heard Adrian’s sarcastic voice, “You’re so reluctant, why not let him come too p>
Hearing his words, Eva’s expression changed, and she opened her mouth to say something, but Adrian had already walked away. “Ms. Hansen, let’s go too p>
Because they had booked separately, Eva had chosen an economy class ticket to avoid Adrian.
Sure enough, when it was time to board, Adrian noticed that she had a ticket for economy class and instantly sneered.
“What’s the matter? Afraid I’ll do something to you in first class p>
Eva calmly put away her ticket. “I just wanted to save some money. You know I’m starting my own company now p>
Her words furrowed Adrian’s eyebrows.
“Didn’t I invest in your company p>
“You did invest, but the company hasn’t started making a profit yet p>
She had prepared all the reasons and explanations.
After a while, Adrian scoffed, “Alright then p>
After that, he didn’t speak to her. He sat in his seat, closed his eyes, and had a displeased expression with pale lips.
If it wasn’t for being stubborn, she wouldn’t have rushed back to New York today.
He hadn’t fully recovered, and yet she made him endure the journey like this. It must be very painful for him.
Oh well, it would teach him a lesson.
They had first-class tickets, so they had the privilege of boarding early.
Eva didn’t have that privilege, so she had to stand in line.
They separated and went their own ways.
Jacob followed behind Adrian and felt the heaviness in his demeanor. He suggested, “Mr. Blackwood, don’t worry. Once we’re on the plane, I can switch seats with Ms. Hansen.” However, Adrian’s expression remained sour.
Jacob tried to comfort him, “Mr. Blackwood, it’s actually better that Ms. Hansen bought an economy class ticket. If she had also purchased a first-class ticket, it would have been awkward p>
“You bought the seats together. But if I can, I’ll switch seats with her, and she can sit next to you for a closer interaction. Wouldn’t that be better?” After all the talking, Adrian was surprisingly persuaded. He glanced deeply at Jacob. Just when Jacob thought Adrian would be displeased with him, Adrian cleared his throat and said, “Well done, but you need to convince the person first p>
“Mr. Blackwood, please rest assured, I have my ways p>
Although Adrian still wasn’t entirely at ease with Jacob’s assurance, the tightness in his chest was not as overwhelming as before boarding the plane.
Even though he hadn’t fully recovered from his illness and could be discharged early, the connection between his organs and emotions made his stomach ache more intensely due to anxiety and anger.
She sent a message in the afternoon, shortly after Adrian finished his medication, and when he left, a cold sweat covered his back.
Fortunately, it was winter and he was dressed in layers, so she couldn’t see anything.
The journey here was also a bit rough, and Adrian’s body temperature had dropped. His empty stomach felt uncomfortable.
Jacob was not present, so Adrian went directly to the boarding gate to wait for Eva.
Adrian had not been seated for long when Eva arrived.
She walked to the seat next to Adrian and noticed his legs stretched out in a domineering manner. Then she glanced at the seat inside and kicked his foot. “Let me in p>
Adrian pursed his lips. “How did you come here p>
Eva glared at him. “Is it not allowed p>
Adrian remained silent, seemingly unwilling to let her in.
It wasn’t until the flight attendant approached, casting a curious gaze at Eva, that she said, “Ma’am, the plane will take off soon. Please return to your seat p>
The flight attendant then saw Adrian and noticed his legs blocking the aisle. Sensing something, she asked Eva, “Ma’am, may I see your ticket p>
As the flight attendant finished speaking, Adrian reached out and held Eva’s wrist, retracting his long legs and pulling her to the seat beside him. “She’s with me p>
The flight attendant, seeing Adrian firmly holding her hand, instantly understood what was happening.
So, it was a lovers’ tiff?
