Chapter 362
Eva frowned at his actions. “What are you doing p>
He didn’t say anything, took two steps closer to her, and Eva instinctively stepped back.
Not only did Adrian not stop, but he kept advancing until Eva’s back was against the cabinet near the entrance. To maintain distance, she had to lean slightly backward.
His large hands gently supported her waist, and Adrian’s eyes stared at her intensely.
“Since you won’t keep me, I’ll have to stay on my own,” he said.
Eva thought that he was shameless.
In her thoughts, Adrian’s hands, resting on her waist, moved up slightly.
Eva immediately became wary, her eyes widening.
“What do you want to do p>
However, Adrian lowered his head and chuckled softly against her neck, his warm breath tickling her skin.
“Eve,” his voice was low, “I’ve discovered some things I didn’t know before, so I won’t leave p>
Not only won’t he leave, but he’ll also cling to her even more.
After his words, Adrian released his grip. “Let’s go, have breakfast p>
Leaving Eva standing in place, she couldn’t quite understand the meaning behind his words. What did he discover?
What did he find out?
Eva pursed her lips and was about to grab the bags and follow him when Adrian suddenly turned back and took the bags from her forcefully. “Leave it to me p>
She didn’t have a chance to protest as Adrian took the bags away.
Later, Adrian took out the breakfast from the bags and placed them on the table. Eva looked expressionless and waited until he finished arranging everything before she realized something, but it was already too late. Adrian, who had already laid out the food, raised an eyebrow at the four servings on the table. “Isn’t this my portion? I thought you said you wouldn’t keep me p>
His voice sounded hoarse, probably from yesterday when Adrian had a fever.
With her hands crossed in front of her chest, Eva calmly looked at him.
Staring at him lightly, she said, “Can I have a double portion p>
Upon hearing this, Adrian chuckled softly, “Sure, but you might have to give me one today, and I’ll make it up to you with double tomorrow, how about that p>
Just as Eva was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of Dylan and Ruby approaching, so she had to lower her voice and say, “No need to make it up, just finish your meal and leave.” While Adrian was still surprised by her change in attitude, Ruby’s voice rang out.
It seemed like it was about the children again.
But it didn’t matter as long as he understood her intentions, nothing else was important.
After breakfast, Eva thought Adrian would linger, but instead he said, “I have something to attend to, so I won’t be able to walk you guys today p>
Upon hearing this, Eva glanced at him.
“That’s fine. You can stay busy from now on p>
As soon as she finished speaking, Adrian’s phone rang, and he answered the call, “You’re downstairs? Alright p>
“Uncle NightA, are you leaving? Aren’t you going to school with Ruby and big brother today p>
“Yes.” Adrian nodded, “I have something important to take care of today p>
At this point, Adrian paused for a moment, then continued, “Once I finish dealing with it, I’ll come to accompany you guys every day, only with you guys p>
Eva couldn’t help but take a glance at him, and her brow slightly furrowed. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she seemed to sense a hint of determination in his words. What important thing is he going to do?
Soon, Eva thought of what happened to him last night, and she wondered if he was going to settle the score with Vivian.
First and foremost, leaving aside whether it’s worth it, would he really lay a hand on his lifesaver?
Vivian had helped her back then, and she had owed her for five years, fulfilling many of her conditions, not to mention saving Adrian’s life. How could he repay her properly? Unfortunately, gratitude couldn’t simply be resolved with money.
Lost in thought, someone suddenly approached her, and before she could react, they bent down and kissed her fair forehead.
Ruby quickly covered her eyes, pretending to be shy.
Dylan, on the other hand, stood frozen in place.
Never did they expect that overnight, Mommy and Uncle NightA would progress this quickly.
Not to mention Dylan, even Eva herself was stunned because she had no idea what craziness had gotten into Adrian. After kissing her last night, he ended up on the sofa unconscious, and now, after waking up, he dared to kiss her in front of the two kids?
Is he crazy, or is she crazy?
After kissing her, Adrian was ready to step back, but his heart was reluctant. So, he lightly pecked her forehead again and whispered, “Wait for me p>
With that, he released his hand from Eva’s before she pushed him away, pretending to remain calm, and then quickly left.
After the door closed, Eva looked at the two children in front of her, still processing what just happened.
Ruby, with widened eyes, asked excitedly, “Mommy, are you really going to marry NightA p>
“No, Ruby, let me explain to you p>
“But Uncle NightA slept at our house last night. If mommy doesn’t want him to be our daddy, why did she let him sleep here p>
Eva wore a helpless expression and struggled to explain, “That’s because p>
“Yay, Ruby will have a daddy!” Ruby jumped off the chair and stood on the floor with open arms, cheering. “From now on, no one at school can say that Ruby is a child without a father p>
This statement silenced the words that were about to escape Eva’s mouth.
Her face changed, and she stood up, walking towards Ruby.
“Ruby, what did you just say? Who said those words p>
Children usually wouldn’t say such things.
Startled by the seriousness in Eva’s face, Ruby quickly reported, “Mommy, it was the teacher from the next class. During our last meal, she whispered to other teachers, and my brother and I overheard it.” “Last time?” Eva’s expression turned serious. “When was the last time p>
Ruby tapped her chin. “Um, I don’t remember, I forgot p>
Eva had to turn to Dylan. “Dylan p>
Dylan obediently said, “Mommy, it was last week p>
Hearing that it was all from last week, Eva felt a pang of pain. “Why didn’t you tell mommy earlier about something like this p>
“Don’t be mad, mommy!” Ruby came and hugged her arm. “You are already working hard taking care of me and my brother all by yourself. Big brother said if we told mommy these things, she would be really sad, so we made a pinky promise to keep it a secret p>
