Chapter 273
Perhaps he didn’t expect her to be so direct. Michael stood still for a moment before helplessly replying to her, “In that case, can I also take you, Ruby, and Dylan to school and the office today?” Eva was planning to have a clear conversation with him today, so it shouldn’t matter. “Okay p>
On the way to the school, Eva remained unusually quiet while Ruby chatted incessantly.
Michael patiently responded to her all the way.
When they arrived at the school, Eva suddenly felt a sharp, cold, and piercing stare on her back.
Instinctively, she looked around and found the source.
When she saw the black car from yesterday, Eva was instantly stunned.
If the stare she felt yesterday was an illusion, then was it also an illusion today?
Her intuition told her something was not right.
She instinctively quickened her pace, wanting to walk towards the black car.
“Eva!” Michael suddenly called out, bringing her back to reality. “What’s wrong p>
Seeing that she had been staring at a certain spot, Michael walked over to her and stopped beside her, following her gaze.
When he saw the black car, Michael also paused, narrowing his eyes slowly.
“It’s nothing.” Eva snapped back to her senses and shook her head lightly.
Of course, she wouldn’t rush to tell Michael about this matter. After all, it was just her intuition. What if she was wrong?
Besides, the car was parked at the school gate, and no one from the school stopped to look or found anything unusual. It must be a parent of some child in the school.
Eva pursed her lips, her eyebrows lightly furrowed. “Aren’t you still going to the office? Go ahead, it’s not far from here, I can walk there quickly p>
“Eva.” Michael frowned, calling her name in disagreement.
Eva insisted, looking at him firmly, “You’ve already taken the trouble to bring the children to school. You should go quickly. As for our matter… let’s discuss it this afternoon, alright? I’ll explain everything to you then.” Michael could only nod.
After he left, Eva stood alone, without moving, for a while before slowly walking towards the black car.
Originally, she had planned to ride in Michael’s car to the office, but now she had something else she wanted to deal with, so she told Michael to go.
Eva stopped beside the black car.
Adrian, sitting in the car, frowned when he saw her actions.
Before he could speak, he heard Jacob next to him say, “Could Ms. Hansen have discovered us p>
Hearing this, Adrian’s lips tightened as he coldly replied, “Impossible, as long as you don’t do anything stupid p>
What stupid thing could Jacob do? He had been sitting here doing nothing all along.
Lost in thought, Eva suddenly bent down and lightly tapped the car window.
Jacob was startled, his nerves instantly on edge.
After knocking on the car window, there was still no response from inside. Eva thought that someone might lower the window and she could take a look at who was in the car.
But she didn’t give up, because she really felt a pair of eyes looking at her from inside the car.
Her intuition couldn’t be wrong, especially not twice in a row.
With this in mind, Eva slowly leaned down, trying to peer inside through the window.
“Get down!” As she did this, Adrian suddenly lowered his voice and quickly lay down, with Jacob quickly following suit.
Eva leaned against the car window, carefully looking inside.
It was very sunny outside at the moment, and she had been standing under the sun for quite some time, so her vision wasn’t particularly great right now. Even as she was leaning against the car window, she couldn’t see what or who was inside. It was pitch black.
But she didn’t give up, and continued to persistently look.
Inside the car, both individuals remained still. Adrian lay on the seat, silently observing her leaning against the window.
Watching, Jacob even held his breath in fear. He never expected Ms. Hansen to be so vigilant. They hadn’t done anything to attract any attention, but she had already noticed them on the second day of their arrival here. How long had it been? Eva probably didn’t see anything and had to give up in the end. After she left, Jacob finally caught his breath and said, “Mr. Blackwood, Ms. Hansen is terrifying. How did she know there was someone in our car p>
Both of them were still lying there, probably still startled by Eva’s sudden attack. So, for the time being, neither of them dared to get up, afraid that Eva might come back. After a while, when they were sure that Eva had really left, they sat up. Adrian’s face didn’t look good.
Jacob looked frightened, patting his chest. “That scared the life out of me, Mr. Blackwood. What should we do next p>
Hearing this, Adrian gave him a cold glance and pursed his lips, not saying a word. After a moment, he opened the car door and got out.
Ruby had brought some snacks for during break today. But not long after arriving at school, she started craving for them, so she turned her head to her brother, who was sitting next to her, and said, “Dylan, I want to eat p>
As siblings who were born on the same day and month, and have been together for so long, how could Dylan not know what she was thinking? Hearing her say she wanted to eat, he immediately said, “No, we just had breakfast not long ago.” Upon hearing this, Ruby stared at him with a pair of big, innocent eyes. “But Dylan, I’m hungry p>
Just finished eating and now hungry already? How could he possibly believe that? “Ruby, you can’t eat any more right now. Mommy said these are snacks for break time, and we have to wait until after class to eat them.” Dylan said. Although it was only a few seconds age difference, Dylan seemed like a little adult, giving instructions to his much younger sister.
“But Dylan, if I eat them now or at break time, there won’t be anything left. It’s the same thing.” Ruby said as she reached for the zipper on her backpack.
Just as Dylan was about to stop her, a familiar voice came from behind.
“Dylan, Ruby.” It was a slightly chilly male voice, but very familiar, as Dylan had heard it just yesterday.
Ruby’s hand, about to open the backpack, stopped. When she turned her head, she saw Adrian standing outside.
“Uncle NightA!!” She immediately let go of her backpack and ran towards him.
Today, Ruby was wearing a pleated dress, and when she ran, she looked like a fluttering butterfly. Adrian, who was originally in a gloomy mood, quickly felt better when he saw the little one running towards him. The hostility in his eyes quickly dissipated, and he even crouched down, reaching out to catch her so that she wouldn’t accidentally fall.
“Uncle NightA! Why did you come again?” Ruby happily asked him.
