Chapter 325
Was that blood he saw? Was Eva’s forehead bleeding?
Did he really just try to kick a child?
What on earth was wrong with him?
Lost in his thoughts, John came up to him, looking at him with cold eyes.
“Jason, were you out of your mind just now? Do you know what you just did p>
“I Jason wanted to say he wasn’t, but the thought of Eva’s forehead bleeding had him unable to say a word.
He finally realized that his behavior was inappropriate. Jason could only look at Vivian, hoping she would support him. After all, if it wasn’t for his feelings for Vivian, he wouldn’t have done such a thing in the first place.
At this moment, Vivian’s heart was pounding. Deep inside, she wanted something to happen to Eva. But after hearing John’s words, she suppressed those malicious thoughts and looked at Jason with a disappointed expression. “Yes, Jason, speak up. You shouldn’t have laid your hands on someone p>
At this point, Vivian paused for a moment, then continued, “Moreover, it was a child you tried to kick. Don’t you have any compassion p>
Jason was dumbfounded and took a while to regain his voice.
“But, but I did it all for you p>
If it wasn’t for her, would he have been so impulsive?
He had no grudge against Eva, her children, or anyone. Why would he target them?
Hearing this, Vivian’s expression of disappointment grew even more pronounced.
“Jason, if you told me that your actions were just a momentary impulse, I might have believed you to some extent. But now, you’re saying that you did it for me. What would others think if they heard this? Do you think I would order you to harm a child? Until today, I didn’t even know about these two children, let alone that Eva would be here p>
Vivian had a motive for saying all this. John was Adrian’s closest friend. If Jason’s words gave him a bad impression of her, how could she use him to get closer to Adrian if he refused to help her in the future?
So, even though Jason had helped her a lot in the past, Vivian had no choice but to show disapproval for his behavior.
Moreover, what she thought was that Jason has always been a lapdog in front of her. Whenever she says something good, he’ll agree with her and praise her.
But John is different. John has his own ideas, and no matter if she pretends to be weak, gentle, or sensible, John doesn’t want to get close to her. What bothers Vivian is that John doesn’t want to get close to her, but he’s willing to talk to Eva. At first, Vivian wondered if John had any feelings for Eva. She thought that if she were to bring them together, he might try to be with Eva and solve the problem with Adrian longing for Eva, giving her an opportunity to fill that position in Adrian’s heart.
But after she tried to get some information, John calmly side-stepped her questions without confirming anything. So, Vivian had no idea what he wanted, but he knew how to maintain his relationship with Adrian. Therefore, she didn’t want to offend him and could only frequently show goodwill towards him.
Sure enough, after she said those words, John turned his head and glanced at her before saying, “I’ll go check out the situation over there p>
Immediately, Vivian said, “John, I’ll go with you p>
“No need,” unexpectedly, John outright refused her, “Considering how things have turned out today, you and Jason should leave. If anything comes up, we can talk about it tomorrow p>
Vivian bit her lower lip, hesitated, and then spoke up, “But things have turned out like this, and I feel responsible. I should go with you to check on Eva p>
“That’s right, considering how things have turned out, Adrian is probably furious right now, so I advise you not to follow along.” he finished, and glanced knowingly at Vivian.
This look made Vivian inexplicably uneasy, as if he could see her inner thoughts through her facade. In that instance, she didn’t dare try to argue any more. “Well…fine, but if anything happens, you must call me. Although we haven’t seen each other for five years, I’m still worried about Eva p>
John reluctantly nodded, then left with his phone in hand. After he left, there were only two people left at the scene.
Confirming that John had gone far and wouldn’t come back, Vivian quickly turned and walked up to Jason, bending down to help him up. “Come on, get up quickly p>
Jason was still in a gloomy mood due to the words she said earlier. But now, seeing her personally come over to help him up, he was pleasantly surprised. “Vivian? You… you’re not p>
“Let’s talk after you get up.” With Vivian’s assistance, Jason slowly stood up. After he got up, Vivian asked with concern, “How are you? Did you get hurt from the fall p>
Jason shook his head but remained silent, just staring at her blankly.
“Jason, don’t look at me like that. What I said earlier was actually for your sake p>
“Okay. For my own good p>
“Think about it, if you suddenly attacked them in front of everyone today, would they approve of your actions? In this situation, if I still stood by your side, do you think they would see you favorably? They would definitely question your character. That’s why I had to pretend to scold you and act disappointed. You can pretend to change your ways, and they wouldn’t hold any grudges against you p>
Pretend to change my ways?
Upon hearing this, Jason felt a bit confused.
After calming down, he realized that his previous actions were indeed impulsive, so he really wanted to change for the better.
But now, Vivian’s words seemed to imply a different meaning than what he had in mind.
However, Vivian was kind-hearted and beautiful. How could she possibly think that way?
In the end, Jason could only say, “Don’t worry, Vivian. I don’t blame you. I was definitely in the wrong tonight. I promise you, this kind of thing won’t happen again in the future.” Vivian rolled her eyes inwardly, feeling somewhat annoyed.
Deep down, she still believed that Jason didn’t go too far with his actions.
But she couldn’t say such things in front of Jason, lest he think she was a malicious woman.
Some character traits had to be maintained.
As for resorting to violence, as long as Eva didn’t give up on Adrian, Vivian would still have to deal with that in the future.
On the other side of the yard, Adrian carried Eva to the car, and the two children followed, still crying.
With no one else around, and Eva in this state, Adrian wasn’t in the right frame of mind to find someone else to take care of the two little ones. He could only take them with him. “Get in the car first you two p>
Thinking of something, Adrian turned to Dylan. “Dylan, if I put your mommy in the back seat. Can you help take care of her p>
