Chapter 314
At this moment, Ruby, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, covered her mouth and giggled foolishly. To be honest, Eva was a bit angry and embarrassed.
She lowered her head, not saying anything or losing her temper, just quietly observing. Ruby, who had been giggling, instantly lost her smile when Eva stared at her. She lowered her small hand, pursed her lips tightly, and became nervous, not daring to giggle anymore.
Kids were usually very obedient, so Eva rarely gets angry at the two children, even when they make mistakes. She starts by teaching and only becomes strict if they don’t listen. Because of her unique teaching style, she rarely needs to change her expression. Therefore, even when she just looks at the children quietly, they know they have done something wrong.
Like right now, Ruby dare not speak and can only lower her head, occasionally raising her eyelids to steal a glance at Eva. Seeing Ruby like this, Eva’s heart softened once again. She helplessly reached out and pinched Ruby’s chubby cheeks, saying, “No more laughing p>
“Yes, we’ll listen to Mommy,” Ruby replied.
Ruby held onto Eva’s arm tightly and buried herself in her embrace, ignoring Adrian. These past few days, Eva has not been feeling well because Ruby always contradicted her. But now, seeing Ruby finally leaning towards her and ignoring Adrian, Eva felt much better. She then turned towards Dylan and said, “Dylan, come down quickly p>
After hesitating for a moment, Dylan turned to Adrian and said, “Uncle NightA, can you put me down, please p>
Adrian tightened his lips and held Dylan a bit tighter, looking down at him. “As a man, do you really think I would leave the three of you here so late? Not only would it show a lack of responsibility, but it also wouldn’t be safe for you to wait here by yourselves p>
Eva smiled and said, “NightA, you worry too much. Plainclothes officers patrol the streets at all times, so it’s not unsafe p>
“But what if anything happens?” Adrian raised his gaze and looked at her. “You’re taking care of two kids. Can you guarantee one hundred percent safety?” Under the illumination of the street lamp, Adrian’s eyes shone with a piercing light. “You came with me, so it’s my responsibility to protect all of you.” Implying that he also played a role as their child’s guardian.
Hearing this, Eva sneered inwardly, “Then what do you propose p>
“I’ll take you all back p>
Eva and Adrian locked eyes for a long time, but in the end, neither said anything. Eva simply went to the car with Ruby in her arms and said, “Open the door.” Seeing this, a beautiful curve appeared on Adrian’s lips as he walked over, put Dylan down, and then opened the car door for Eva.
Actually, she wanted him to unlock the car, but she didn’t expect him to directly come over and open the door for her.
She couldn’t help but give him a sideways glance. He seemed quite humble in front of her, especially in front of the children, because he felt indebted. Thinking of something, Eva sneered inwardly.
If he wanted to play hardball in front of the kids, why not take the upper hand and avoid being passive?
After realizing this, Eva quickly made up her mind.
So he wants to pursue her, huh?
Well, she will make him suffer and let him know it’s not easy to pursue her.
After getting in the car, the two little ones clung to Eva’s arms, their soft bodies leaning against her. Once seated, Eva saw Adrian turn his head and smiled slightly. “Thank you, NightA, for being our driver today p>
Eva’s reaction made Adrian’s heart skip a beat, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled back.
Adrian glanced at her strangely, then smirked. “No trouble at all. I’m willing to do it p>
As soon as he turned his head, Eva’s smile disappeared, and she regained her indifferent expression.
While looking down, she unintentionally met Dylan’s gaze.
Caught off guard by Dylan witnessing the situation, Eva mustered another smile, but Dylan seemed unsurprised. He pursed his lips and held her arm tight, without saying a word.
If possible, she really didn’t want her child to see her vulnerable side, but Dylan was just too sensitive p>
In the end, Eva could only reach out and pat Dylan’s head.
The car finally stopped downstairs in the residential area.
“Thank you, Uncle NightA, for driving us home.” As soon as they arrived, Ruby immediately thanked Adrian.
Adrian met her eyes through the rearview mirror, lips curved into a smile. “You won’t have to thank me anymore once I become a dad.
However, Eva sat there expressionless, unmoving. The two children looked at her and then at Adrian in front.
Finally, Ruby tilted her head back and asked, “Mommy, aren’t we getting out of the car p>
Eva looked at Ruby and blinked gently, saying, “Darling, did you forget? NightA uncle is pursuing your mommy. He’s not even getting out of the car. How can we get out?” Suddenly, Adrian understood why she had smiled at him earlier. Perhaps her thoughts had changed since then?
Lost in thought, Adrian found the two children staring at him.
Under their gazes, Adrian unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and opened the door for them.
Once the door opened, Eva got out of the car with the children.
With the children in front and Eva in the back, as they passed by Adrian, he quietly grabbed her wrist and whispered in a volume only they could hear, “Did you think this would make me give up? Eva, forget about it.” Before she could respond, he lightly pushed her forward, his hand falling on her back. “Go upstairs, goodnight p>
Eva didn’t have time to reply before she was pushed a few steps forward by his strength. The two little ones also took hold of her hand.
“Goodbye, Uncle NightA p>
Although Ruby didn’t dare to be too obvious in front of Adrian, the two children still had their manners. Since he had escorted them back, they politely thanked him and said goodbye.
Adrian stood there, his lips gently curved. “See you tomorrow. I’ll come to pick you up in the morning p>
Responding to him, Eva, with the two children’s silhouette already in the distance, kept walking.
Adrian stood in the same spot for a long time, until he saw the light in a window upstairs turn on, ensuring that the three of them had safely returned home, before he finally left with peace of mind. After Eva took the two children into the room, she instinctively went to the window and quickly pulled the curtains shut.
Only then did she peek through the gap and see that the black car had already left, sighing in relief.
She thought he would still be there p>
“Mommy, what are you looking at p>
Ruby’s voice came from behind, and Eva turned her head to see Ruby standing there, looking up at her curiously. “Mommy, are you sad because Uncle NightA is leaving and you can’t bear to see him go p>
