Chapter 344
“Have his child p>
Vivian was dumbfounded by her mother’s words. “Mom, what does that mean? How can I have his child? He doesn’t even want to see me anymore. Do you know, today, the way he looked at me, it was as if he wanted revenge.” Vivian’s mother looked at her with disdain.
“What are you panicking about? Aren’t you still my daughter? Why are you getting worked up over such a small matter? Anyway, no matter what, you are his savior, and that will never change. Even though such things have happened, he still can’t do anything to you. But I really didn’t expect Adrian to have such a strong sense of morality, if it were me p>
At this point, Vivian’s mother paused, choosing not to continue her sentence, and instead shifted the focus to talk about Vivian.
“Compared to Eva, you don’t have a child, do you? So, Adrian would undoubtedly choose her without hesitation. But what if you also had one? Along with the debt of gratitude, who do you think he would choose?” Vivian remained silent.
“Not to criticize you, but although you and him are not engaged, don’t you understand the power having a child holds over a man? That’s just how men are. If you got pregnant, he would marry you. If he doesn’t, it’s because his family is stopping him. Why don’t you understand this p>
Vivian bit her lip, feeling so ashamed that she struggled to speak.
Vivian’s mother waited for a long time, and seeing that she still didn’t say anything, furrowed her brow and said, “What are you trying to say? I’ve been waiting for half the day p>
“I… ” Vivian hesitated for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said, “I… it’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but I never had the opportunity p>
After realizing what she said, Vivian’s mother was shocked. “What? Are you telling me that in these five years, you and him haven’t… once p>
Though embarrassed, Vivian could only nod.
“So, in all these years, you’ve been by his side and never found the chance p>
“I haven’t p>
“He hasn’t made any moves on you p>
“No, not at all!” The more Vivian was asked, the more she felt unwanted. Angered, she interrupted her mother.
For a moment, Vivian’s mother was speechless.
Because she simply could not fathom that Adrian was different from other men.
Yes, he was an outstanding man.
But even the most outstanding man still needs a woman, and her daughter was young, beautiful, and always around him. How could he not be tempted even a little? Was this man made of steel and concrete?
“You haven’t… tried p>
Vivian blushed so hard that it seemed blood would drip from her face. “I tried p>
“No response p>
“Mom, he wouldn’t let anyone near him p>
Upon hearing this, Vivian’s mother realized that something was amiss.
Finally, Vivian’s mother understood what was going on. “I didn’t expect him to be so determined. This man is even more formidable than I imagined. If you can successfully marry him and capture his heart, you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life p>
“Right now, his eyes and heart are only on Eva. I don’t even know who this Eva is. After all these years, why hasn’t she gotten married? Normally, wouldn’t a normal person find someone to marry right away p>
“Even if she’s a normal person, those two children are Adrian’s bloodline, Adrian’s status. Do you think she would be willing to give that up p>
“If she didn’t want to give it up, then why did she agree to leave for five years back then p>
“That’s true. I never expected her to actually keep her promise. Well, don’t worry about her for now. The situation there is already set and can’t be changed. What you need to do now is take care of your own relationship with Adrian and preferably get pregnant within a few months p>
“But I don’t think he would be willing to see me now p>
“I will create an opportunity for you. Just follow my instructions for everything else p>
After looking at her mother, Vivian nodded.
It was late at night, but the light was still on in Adrian’s study. He was hunched over the desk, holding a pen in his hand. The white papers in front of him were filled with dense writings and even some sketches. The usually tidy desk was now a mess, but Adrian paid no attention to it, continuing to work on his designs.
Time always flies when one is dedicated to their work. By the time Adrian had written down all his thoughts, the first light of dawn was peeking through the windows, and his eyes were starting to show signs of tiredness.
Although he hadn’t slept all night, he was still full of excitement and didn’t feel the slightest bit weary. He glanced at the time and knew that Eva and the children were probably still asleep. So Adrian carefully put away the incomplete design he had worked on all night, and then got up to close the window to prevent the wind from blowing it away.
After confirming everything was in order, Adrian went to freshen up. Last night, he had done nothing but work on his designs, neglecting to even take a shower. If he was going to see her later, he needed to tidy himself up.
Eva hadn’t slept well all night, and when she woke up, there were dark circles under her eyes. The recent events had caused her to lose weight, making her face appear even smaller. The wound on her forehead was still slightly painful when she woke up.
Although the final examination results showed that it was nothing serious, Eva still felt a bit uncomfortable. Especially today, when she woke up, she felt that the pain from the wound was stronger than yesterday.
As she got up, Eva wondered if she accidentally got water on the wound while taking a shower yesterday, causing it to get infected again. She was thinking about this when suddenly, her head was hit with a sharp pain, so brief that she could hardly grasp it. At the same time, some childhood scenes flashed in her mind. The scenes were short and very vague.
It was a blurry image, as if she was struggling in the river, on the verge of sinking. This scene was unfamiliar to Eva, extremely unfamiliar. She couldn’t recall such a scene from her memories, but the girl in the image seemed to be quite young. Could it be… In a flash, Eva suddenly thought of something. After falling into the water when she was young, she fell seriously ill and lost a period of memory. Could this be from that lost memory? Eva reached out and held her head, gently shaking it.
Afterwards, she pondered for a long time but couldn’t remember how she had fallen into the river or how she had gotten out. When she was found, she had fainted by the riverside. If it hadn’t been for her classmates arriving in time, she might have fallen even further into the river.
After returning home, she started running a high fever for a long time. By the time she had fully regained consciousness, she couldn’t remember anything at all. And now, it seemed that this should be from that lost period. What’s going on? Was it because she hit her head that her memories were coming back? But how could it be just a fragment?
