Chapter 348
Although she didn’t understand why she suddenly asked this question, for Adrian, it was definitely a good start. “Yes p>
Eva carefully considered her words, “I can let you take care of them, but I have conditions p>
Indeed, his efforts were not in vain. Ever since they were little, he knew that Eva had a soft heart.
Adrian maintained his composure as he calmly asked, “What conditions are you referring to p>
“First, I will agree to let you take care of them solely for the sake of the two children. Allowing you to take care of them is solely because of the blood connection.” “Alright.” Adrian didn’t even need to think about it, he directly agreed.
Hearing this, Eva was slightly surprised and thought of something, so she looked at him, “You can only be called Uncle, and you can’t say in front of the children that you are their father. Can you agree to these conditions? If you can’t, then “I promise p>
Eva’s words were completely cut off.
She probably didn’t expect that he would go to such lengths for the children.
“I just want to fulfill my responsibilities p>
As for the title p>
Although ever since knowing that these two children were his own flesh and blood, he had envisioned the scene of the two little ones calling him “Daddy” with shining eyes. That scene would have been beautiful.
But unfortunately, his relationship with Eva five years ago was not good, and she had been raising the children on her own all these years.
He didn’t dare, nor did he want the children to call him “Daddy” at this moment. It would probably make her sad, as if the two children she had worked so hard to raise called someone else “Daddy,” even though he wasn’t someone else. But this consequence would probably hurt her.
From her recent behavior, it was clear that she was truly concerned that he would take the children away from her.
It was understandable. She used to think there was still something between him and Vivian, so she worried.
But the situation with Vivian had been resolved, and what he needed now was time.
“Are you sure you won’t p>
Eva still had some worries.
Adrian interrupted again, “If you really worry that I have ulterior motives, then we can sign a contract, how about that p>
Based on the current audio recordings, it seemed that it didn’t give her a sense of security. Or perhaps, her sense of security was not enough.
If it wasn’t enough, then he would make up for it until she felt secure enough.
“A contract p>
“Yes.” Adrian nodded.
Eva pursed her lips. In fact, even if Adrian didn’t mention it, she was thinking the same thing.
Only by signing a contract could she feel at ease.
Although she didn’t know when their relationship had turned into this, it was a pity that some things couldn’t be undone.
“Alright, a contract p>
“You set the terms, let me know when you’ve decided p>
He was very cooperative, as if he would go along with whatever she wanted.
Eva didn’t say anything more.
Adrian couldn’t help but ask, “What about the design plan p>
He was referring to the house’s design proposal, which he would definitely take care of if she agreed to let him take care of the children.
“You handle it on your own, I won’t be involved.” she replied.
After all, it wasn’t her money being spent.
“Why?” he asked, puzzled. “I hope that you’ll move into the house with the children p>
“It’s the children, not me, who you will have involvement with, and I will make that clear in the contract.” she explained.
While they were talking, the driver suddenly stopped the car and awkwardly turned around to remind them.
“Mr. Blackwood, we have arrived at Ms. Hansen’s company p>
Upon seeing that they had arrived at her company, Eva immediately stopped what she was about to say and instead said, “Thank you for driving me to the office. I’ll go in now. As for the agreement, I’ll send it to you once it’s done.” “Okay p>
After Eva got out of the car, she didn’t look back and went straight into the building.
As she entered the elevator, she wondered to herself how she was suddenly able to be so calm about him?
Was it because of the children, or because she no longer cared, or because she found out that he didn’t actually instruct her to get an abortion all those years ago?
Eva didn’t want to pursue which reason it was anymore. As long as her two little ones could receive complete love, that would be enough.
She was worried that the two little ones would follow in her footsteps.
With these thoughts in mind, Eva arrived at her office and began working on the agreement between the two of them.
During this time, Tim came over and reported that a few new employees had joined the company, asking her to come over and interview them, considering the company’s future development. So, Eva went.
After she finished handling things on her end, she would continue finalizing the agreement upon returning to her office.
There was absolutely no relationship between her and him, and if there was any, it would only be related to the children. Apart from that, they were just a pair of divorced strangers.
Eva drafted each clause of the agreement very strictly and even consulted her previous lawyer.
After a brief explanation of the situation to the lawyer, he quickly understood her intentions.
“Ms. Hansen means that you will retain sole custody of the children, and the male party will only bear the responsibility as a parent in name without legal custody?” “Yes, that’s correct. Is it possible p>
“There shouldn’t be a problem. Let me review the conditions you’ve written p>
He quickly skimmed through the conditions Eva had written, then said, “There shouldn’t be a problem. I will refine these for you, and then you can take a look.” “Okay, thank you p>
After hanging up the phone, Eva let out a sigh of relief.
If she were Adrian, she didn’t think she would sign such an agreement because it was simply too unfair.
But who said the past five years had been fair to her either?
He could either accept this unfairness or distance himself from her and her children. She wouldn’t force him to sign.
Lost in her thoughts, Mr. Hansen called.
Ever since she had the children and her father started a new family of his own, their contact had become less frequent.
So as soon as Eva saw that it was Mr. Hansen calling, she immediately put down her work.
“Dad p>
“Eva?” Mr. Hansen heard her voice and smiled faintly. “How have you been recently? How is the company doing? Is everything going well p>
The morning haze that had hung over Eva dissipated, leaving only the warmth nurtured by family ties in her heart.
“Well, it’s going smoothly, and we even secured an investment p>
“Which company’s investment p>
At the mention of this, Eva paused for a moment before saying, “It’s a very established company. For this reason, we also hired quite a few new employees p>
“Not bad, not bad. The boss of this company has good foresight. You excel in whatever you do, and he won’t regret it in the future p>
Mr. Hansen had unparalleled confidence in Eva.
They chatted about family matters for a while before Mr. Hansen hesitated and asked uncertainly.
“How have things been going between you and Michael recently p>
As soon as this question was asked, Eva immediately felt that something was amiss.
In the past five years, he had never inquired about her love life. Even when she and Michael were not together, he didn’t ask and only waited for her to make her own choice. “What’s wrong, Dad p>
