Chapter 341
“Now that you have asked all your questions,” Eva looked at him with a calm expression, “now that you have all the answers you wanted, can you please leave me alone going forward?” Hearing this, Adrian suddenly looked up at her in disbelief. “Even if I had never seen that message and hadn’t forced you to have an abortion, Would you still have pushed me aside p>
Eva smiled wryly, speaking softly. “If you didn’t see the message, can you blame me? You’re someone who always keeps his phone close, yet you repeatedly handed it over to her. Whatever happened, it’s a consequence you should bear yourself. Adrian, do you remember that day when it was pouring with rain, and you were at the billiards hall while I was called over by a mocking message to bring you an umbrella? Do you know that right before going to the billiards hall, I had just received the report confirming my pregnancy p>
Adrian’s hand by his side suddenly tightened, and his pupils dilated.
“Back then, I was so naive, thinking it was the perfect opportunity to share the good news with you. Even though our marriage was a sham, I was actually pregnant. Maybe if I told you, you would have accepted it, right? But it was a shame. It wasn’t meant to be, and I ended up being brutally mocked p>
He had never heard her say all of this before, and now, hearing it, Adrian felt an icy chill run through his body, like he was falling into an endless abyss.
Clearly, she had received good news and wanted to share it with him, but what she received was a mockery.
No wonder he saw her soaked in rain when she returned home that day. How desperate must she have felt?
What was even more terrifying was that on that same night, he had asked her for a divorce.
No wonder she sent such an important piece of news through a message; she probably didn’t even dare to face him, even if she summoned the courage. Realizing this, Adrian was left with regret in his heart.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know back then p>
Hearing him apologize, Eva’s heart didn’t waver in the slightest. In fact, it seemed like she had been waiting for a long time, but the longer she waited, some things were probably diluted, right?
“What good is your apology to me now?” Eva looked at Adrian, her expression unchanged. “Adrian, if I were to give you another chance, would you still choose your savior, still ask for a divorce when you came back that day, and trustingly hand your phone over to her? Whether you were together or not for these five years, I no longer want to be involved in anything to do with you. I detached myself from you five years ago.” Adrian remained silent.
The thought of taking care of their children together, after hearing those words that revealed her true feelings, no longer held the same intensity.
He had done wrong, so what right did he have to ask for her forgiveness?
“What kind of life do you expect for yourself with everything that’s happened? So let me and the two children go, alright?” Adrian’s thin lips pressed together, his voice filled with bitterness. He gazed at Eva intently, not giving a clear answer but also unable to refuse.
“If you agree, I would be eternally grateful to you.” Adrian clenched his fist, grinding his teeth. “I can’t bear to see you and the children in another man’s arms. Is that what you want with Michael?” Certainly, Eva did not intend to be with Michael.
But what if she acknowledged that, would it put an end to Adrian’s hopes? No, that’s not likely. Adrian wasn’t that kind of person. If she admitted it, he would likely go mad.
Realizing this, Eva could only reply, “I don’t plan to be with anyone. I just want to be alone with the two children p>
“In that case, why don’t you let me help take care of them?” His tone was bitter, and speaking seemed difficult for him. “After all, I am their biological father p>
“We’re only connected by blood, nothing else.” she responded nonchalantly.
Nothing more p>
Adrian’s ears echoed with Eva’s words. He lowered his gaze and looked at her sitting in the wheelchair for a while before sighing bitterly.
Indeed, blood ties meant nothing. He hadn’t fulfilled any fatherly responsibilities in these five years.
But upon hearing her say that she wouldn’t be with any other man, Adrian finally felt relieved. If she didn’t have anyone by her side, that meant he might have a chance in the future. However, her injuries were the most important thing right now.
After thinking back and forth a few times, Adrian quickly made the decision that was most beneficial for Eva.
“Alright, I agree with everything you said, but right now the most important thing for you is to recover from your injuries. The results are not out yet.” Upon hearing this, Eva looked at him with surprise. Perhaps he agreed too quickly, and she found it strange that he didn’t argue with her anymore.
Could it be that he gave up because she said she wouldn’t be with anyone in the future?
Indeed, possessiveness is a trait of men.
It was true five years ago, and it was still true now.
She lowered her gaze, a cold smile flickering in her eyes.
Adrian didn’t notice, and even if he did, he could only pretend not to know at this moment.
After the test results came out and confirmed that Eva’s head injury was not serious, Adrian handled her discharge procedures.
After leaving the hospital, Adrian escorted her back home.
Initially, Eva had no intention of letting him enter the house, but as soon as she opened the door, he swiftly brought the two children inside, leaving her no chance to speak. Seeing her standing at the door without moving, he looked at her.
“Why aren’t you coming in p>
He said it as if this was his home. Eva entered the house, speechless.
She suppressed the desire to drive him out in front of the children.
The nanny was hired by Michael, so they all knew him and treated him as the future master of the house. Now, instead of Michael, they saw someone else appearing here.
After the man spoke, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Due to her identity, she didn’t dare say anything and could only quietly stand on the side, observing and offering help whenever needed. Adrian glanced at the nanny and then surveyed the surroundings before asking, “You live here with the kids usually, isn’t it crowded p>
As if hearing something unbelievable, Eva looked around and asked, “Is it very crowded here p>
“Yeah, the space is too small. Besides the sleeping area, there’s no place for activities.” Adrian replied, his gaze still scanning the surroundings, seemingly dissatisfied with the place.
After a moment, he suddenly turned his head towards her. “Let’s discuss it. I won’t compete with you for the kids, but I want to provide you and the children with another place to live.” Suppressing her temper, Eva replied, “No need, if we want to do activities, I usually take them out p>
“You’re busy running your company, right? You probably don’t have much time to take them out to play.” he insisted.
