Chapter 112
Only Granny Blackwood was allowed to go in for the inspection, and everyone else had to stay outside the door.
Adrian leaned against the window and subconsciously touched his pocket, but he suddenly realized that he hadn’t touched a cigarette in a long time. However, the habit of wanting to smoke when feeling anxious had not been broken.
In fact, he didn’t smoke much before, but he completely quit smoking a year ago.
Ever since him and Eva accidentally had a physical relationship.
Adrian couldn’t resist her body and scent, as if he had become addicted.
He would often kiss her spontaneously.
At various times, in various places, he didn’t miss any opportunity.
Once, he had a several-hour-long meeting, and the content of the meeting made Adrian’s mood extremely bad that day.
He started smoking as soon as he returned to the meeting room.
After just a few puffs, Eva came in holding some documents and saw him smoking. She asked with concern, “Why are you smoking? Are you feeling bad?” He didn’t answer, just stared at her with his dark eyes.
At that time, his feelings for Eva were still very good, even if he looked cold and angry, she wasn’t afraid and directly reached out to grab the cigarette from his hand. But instead of grabbing the cigarette, she was pulled into his arms and sat on his lap.
After sitting on his lap, Eva put her hands on his shoulders and said, “Don’t be angry anymore. Even if you were unhappy just now, it’s all in the past now p>
As she spoke, her little mouth kept moving in front of him, shimmering with a tempting luster.
Adrian’s gaze also became dark with her movements, and he lifted his hand to hold her chin and kissed her.
The woman in his arms just paused for a moment before returning his kiss.
The two of them kissed passionately in the office like that.
When it was over, she leaned against his chest and whispered, “It doesn’t feel good p>
“What do you mean?” Adrian’s voice became hoarse. His first reaction upon hearing this was that he didn’t kiss passionately enough and she wasn’t satisfied with his performance? Eva’s eyes were watery and her lips were swollen.
“The cigarette,” she said.
Only then did Adrian realize that she was referring to his cigarette. He immediately extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray with his other hand.
Upon seeing this, Eva pouted her red lips. “Not like that p>
Adrian’s fingertips caressed her cheek, his finger pads touching the messy lipstick marks. “Not like that, then how p>
“I mean, stop smoking.” Eva said, pulling his tie angrily. “You clearly understand, yet you deliberately ask me p>
“Oh?” Adrian chuckled, leaning closer to her. “So, what you’re saying is, you feel good and really like it when I don’t smoke?” Eva: p>
“When did I say I liked it? Don’t flatter yourself p>
“Don’t like it? Then who got drunk and pestered me to kiss her before p>
“Adrian p>
The girl’s tender and complaining voice, and the memories of their good times together, seemed like they happened just yesterday. But when he snapped out of it, all that remained was the cold wall in front of him.
The Cold War has been going on for a long time.
He looked in Eva’s direction, where she was sitting with his mother. The two of them occasionally lowered their heads to communicate. The phone vibrated in his pocket.
The ringing made everyone in the room look at him.
Adrian snapped out of his thoughts and took out his phone.
After seeing the caller ID, he pursed his thin lips and subconsciously looked towards Eva.
Coincidentally, she was also looking in his direction.
Their gazes met.
A second later, Eva subtly looked away.
After the phone rang for a few seconds, Adrian hung up and the surroundings returned to silence. Adrian quickly silenced his phone.
Adrian’s mother, seeing her son’s reaction, understood what was going on.
If it was important, he would have picked it up.
But he glanced at Eva before looking at the screen, and then he didn’t pick up the call. What does that mean?
This person… most likely Vivian.
Adrian’s mother suddenly grew even more frustrated with him. Looking at Eva, who had her eyes down, she had no idea what she was thinking.
After Vivian’s call got disconnected, she stood frozen in place, unable to believe it.
This was… the first time Adrian hung up her call.
Why?
Could it be because she’s going to be disfigured, so Adrian changed his mind?
But wasn’t she, his benefactor? Even if she really did become disfigured, he shouldn’t treat her like this.
In the past, he always answered her calls right away.
Julia, who was next to her, saw that Vivian’s face didn’t look good and immediately cursed, “It must be that bitch Eva seducing Adrian, otherwise how could he not even answer your call.” Vivian bit her lip.
“Stop it p>
“Why don’t you speak up, Vivian? Didn’t she make a promise to you? Look at how it turned out. Eva is clearly an untrustworthy person. Clearly, you helped her, but she actually stole your man. Why did you think she would keep her promise?” Vivian bit her lip, tightly gripping her phone without saying a word.
“Vivian, you really shouldn’t be soft-hearted anymore. The scariest thing now is that she’s pregnant. Saying that once Granny Blackwood has her surgery, she’ll divorce him. Haven’t you thought about why Granny Blackwood suddenly postponed her surgery? How did her attitude suddenly change? Wasn’t she pushing her agenda behind the scenes? After being Mrs. Blackwood for so long, would she really willingly give up her status like that? Impossible, don’t be naive, Vivian p>
Although these words were harsh, Vivian found them to be true.
If Eva really wanted to keep her promise, why didn’t she sign a contract with her? If she didn’t want to, that would be evidence that she didn’t intend to keep her word.
After all, most people go back on their word when they feel like it.
If she really goes back on her word, what can she do besides condemn her?
In a trance, the door suddenly pushed open, and one of her friends walked in.
“Oh no, Vivian, when I came up from downstairs just now, I ran into Alexzander Joyce. He bought flowers and said he wanted to visit you. I don’t even know where he got the news from, so I didn’t let him come up p>
Vivian’s mood was already not good, and hearing Alexzander Joyce’s name left her speechless.
Beside her, Julia listened and rolled her eyes directly. “Is this Alexzander Joyce crazy? Hasn’t Vivian already rejected him long ago? What is he doing here p>
Vivian was about to give an excuse to send him away when she heard someone else say, “Yeah, what can this troublemaker do besides causing trouble? I don’t even know how he dares to pursue Vivian. Does he really think Vivian would be interested in him p>
Upon hearing this, Vivian felt like she had heard the key point.
Causing trouble.
There was a sparkle in her originally gloomy eyes.
She used to dislike Alexzander Joyce very much, always feeling that his pursuit had lowered her status. But at this moment, she felt so grateful for his arrival.
