Chapter 211
The turnaround of events is always unpredictable. Just moments ago, Lisa was feeling down, accepting the possibility that things might not end well for her, and planning to return home and cry her heart out with Eva to mourn her first rejection. Unexpectedly, this man came back.
Sitting in the car, Lisa’s mood was like a rollercoaster. She pursed her lips, feeling incredibly sweet inside. Her courage even grew, prompting her to strike up a conversation with him. “Can I ask you a question p>
Adrian stared ahead, expressionless. “Go ahead p>
“What’s your name? I simply don’t know how to address you since I don’t even know your surname p>
“Blackwood,” someone replied succinctly.
“Blackwood?” Lisa was a little surprised. “So, your last name is Blackwood p>
Her reaction made Adrian think of a certain possibility, so he raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do we know each other p>
Lisa replied, “No, I just genuinely think that your surname sounds nice p>
Adrian thought, Eva is good friends with this person but has never mentioned a word about me. Has she really forgotten me in these five years?
Knowing his surname, Lisa greedily wanted to know his full name. She held back and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Blackwood, can I really not know your full name p>
Adrian’s face remained impassive, not giving any response.
Lisa didn’t give up. “What about contact details p>
Adrian continued to ignore her.
However, Lisa was not discouraged. Right now, she was sitting in the same car as him, and he was even willing to apologize to her friend for a ‘misunderstanding p>
All of these things indicated that this man had good character, someone suitable for a long-term relationship.
She didn’t mind his coldness.
Lisa understood very well that this kind of seemingly icy indifference, which appeared to be unmoved by anyone, was actually a rare kind. Once someone held his heart, he would be devoted to her. Lisa loved this kind of special feeling, where you were the only one in his eyes. But she had never had the opportunity to encounter such a man before.
Most men couldn’t control their desires and would always treat women, especially the beautiful ones, differently.
Though Michael, who was around Eva, caught her attention.
Although Michael wasn’t an iceberg and seemed friendly to everyone, Lisa could deeply sense that while he was polite to others, he maintained a comfortable distance. Except for Eva, it was difficult for anyone of the opposite sex to enter his personal safety zone.
But unfortunately, he was her sister’s man, so Lisa couldn’t make a move on him.
After finally coming to the United States, she encountered someone she liked even more, so Lisa didn’t even have the intention to pursue Michael.
“I won’t give up like this p>
The more Lisa thought about it, the more excited she became. As long as she could win over Adrian, she probably wouldn’t have to change boyfriends frequently in the future. After arriving at the place, Adrian looked at the neighborhood in front of him, squinted his eyes, and finally spoke.
“You live here p>
Lisa nodded, “The scenery here is nice, and it’s very quiet. My friend just came back from abroad, so I wanted to find her a place with good scenery. Maybe it will also help her career.” “Career p>
“Yeah, my sister wants to start her own business p>
Adrian raised an eyebrow without showing any trace.
Never did he expect that one day he would have to understand all of her affairs and past from someone else’s mouth.
Thinking about this, Adrian couldn’t help but feel ironic. Even so, he was still interested in her affairs.
“Starting a business?” Adrian interlocked his hands and placed them in front of his knees. “Are you both starting a business together p>
“No,” Lisa shook her head. “I work at the airport for my old man. He doesn’t allow me to start a business. After graduation, he asked me to help in our family’s company. Now I’m studying management there.” However, after she said these words, Adrian, who was sitting there, didn’t react much.
Lisa looked at his appearance, thought for a moment, and spoke again, “My sister wants to open a company p>
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned Eva’s matter, Adrian’s eyebrows and eyes twitched again.
“What kind of company p>
Lisa wondered, “I’m not quite sure about that. I just vaguely know a little bit, but I haven’t asked about the details p>
She found it strange. This man seems to be very interested in Eva.
Was it because he did something wrong after getting drunk last night? That’s why he was acting like this?
When she mentioned this matter to him before, he seemed to have already lost that memory, making Lisa think he couldn’t possibly be interested in Eva.
So, there should only be apology remaining.
Because of the apology, he paid special attention to her. Lisa felt she understood this psychology to some extent.
“In fact, you don’t have to worry. My sister is a good person, with a gentle personality and very easy to talk to. Apologize to her later, explain a bit, and we can all have a meal together. Everything will be fine.” “Really p>
“Yes, don’t worry. I will definitely speak well for you then, and my sister will definitely accept you p>
Speak well? After this conversation, Adrian finally glanced at Lisa seriously.
“What’s your name p>
Lisa’s eyes brightened, and she immediately said, “My last name is George, and you can call me Lisa p>
As if to confirm, Adrian asked again, “And your friend? Once I meet her, how should I address her?” “My friend is called Eva, and her last name is Hansen p>
“Eva p>
Those three words spoken by Adrian felt like they traveled light-years.
The name that used to be so familiar to his lips now sounded unfamiliar, as if he hadn’t said that name in a very long time.
Beside him, Lisa was dumbfounded when she heard Eva’s name coming from Adrian’s mouth, it sounded particularly deep and pleasant.
Why doesn’t he pronounce his own name?! Is her name not as pleasant as Eva’s?
Lisa immediately regretted not giving herself a more pleasing name. With this feeling of annoyance, they finally arrived at the door. Lisa led Adrian inside.
“Eva,” as soon as they entered, Lisa started calling Eva’s name.
Adrian followed behind her into the house but couldn’t take a step forward when he stood at the entrance. He surveyed the room.
Perhaps because they had just moved in, there were no traces of Eva’s life in the house, making it look unfamiliar. But from now on, she will live here. Adrian took off his shoes and calmly walked inside.
