Chapter 572
Actually, Grace understood that he didn’t want her to tire herself out too much, but she had gotten used to being busy her whole life. Before being with him, Grace had always been a single mother taking care of her children, and it wasn’t easy for a single parent like her, especially in an ordinary family like hers. It was a complete surprise to her that she had the chance to marry into the Hansen family and become a wealthy wife.
But even as a wealthy wife, Grace still didn’t have the habit of idling around because she had become accustomed to being busy when she was on her own. Now that other people took care of those things, she felt idle every day, too idle to the point of feeling empty inside.
So sometimes she would find things to do for herself, but Mr. Hansen didn’t like to see her doing those things like a servant. Thinking about this, Grace could only sigh and say, “I’m just used to it from before p>
Seeing her mention the past, Mr. Hansen sighed as well. “The things you’re talking about happened many years ago. How long have you been here? Can’t you get used to a different kind of life p>
As she mentioned this, Grace’s expression became somewhat shy. “If I stay idle, I feel like I’m taking advantage of you p>
Upon hearing this, Mr. Hansen was momentarily speechless. “Taking advantage of what? Since we’ve already decided to be together; how could you take advantage of me p>
“Alright, I understand. I’ll change from now on p>
Although Grace had been living alone with her children, she was an especially optimistic and positive person, and her emotions were stable. She had been with Mr. Hansen for a long time, and the two of them had never had any conflicts. They got along peacefully and happily.
That was also why Eva accepted her so quickly in the beginning.
“I’ll check the time. Their flight should be landing soon. I’ll go to the airport half an hour early to pick them up p>
Mr. Hansen glanced at the time and then stood up. “Are you coming p>
Grace wanted to go, but in the end, she shook her head. “No. I’ll wait for you at home p>
She was worried that the staff wouldn’t prepare everything carefully, so she planned to stay at home and oversee things.
Naturally, Mr. Hansen knew her thoughts and personality. He knew he couldn’t persuade her today, and he had to hurry to the airport to pick up his daughter and in-laws, so he had to leave first.
After he left, Grace quickly got up and headed towards the kitchen. She still felt more at ease overseeing things herself.
After a long flight, Eva was tired when she landed, even though she had slept for a long time on the plane. But sleeping sitting up was different from lying down.
When Eva woke up on the plane, her neck and shoulders were sore. Although Adrian had been acting as her pillow the whole time, she was still tired. When they got off the plane, she kept massaging her shoulders.
“Does it hurt?” Adrian’s inquiring voice sounded, followed by his large hand gently pressing on her shoulders, giving her a light massage.
His hand was warm, and it felt comforting when it covered her shoulders. He was applying just the right amount of pressure, making Eva feel comfortable. She unconsciously leaned into his embrace.
Seeing that she almost leaned her whole body against him, Adrian stood still and let her lean on him. He gently squeezed her shoulders and asked, “Did you sleep uncomfortably on the plane?” “Mhm.” Eva nodded weakly. “Yes, it’s more comfortable lying in bed p>
Adrian looked down at her face and noticed that she didn’t look as good as when they first boarded the plane. Her eyes seemed tired and dull.
After thinking for a moment, Adrian suggested, “If you’re tired; how about I carry you p>
Eva was taken aback by his suggestion and replied speechlessly, “It’s not necessary. We’re at the airport p>
Wouldn’t it be too attention-grabbing if he carried her?
“What’s wrong with the airport?” Adrian asked nonchalantly. “Can’t I carry you at an airport p>
“People will see p>
“Let them see p>
After saying that, Adrian was about to lift her up, but Eva quickly stopped him. “No, I can walk by myself. I’m just a little tired, but I can still walk p>
Seeing her blushing face after just a few seconds, Adrian smirked. “How come I never noticed before that you’re so shy p>
Eva pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
If it was just her and Adrian on this trip, it would be fine if he carried her. It wouldn’t be a big deal if other people saw them. But Kim, Margaret, and the children were with them, and her father was waiting for them outside the airport. As soon as the plane landed, Eva took her phone out of airplane mode and received a call from her father. When she learned that her father’s car was waiting outside, she wasn’t surprised since he had asked for the flight number beforehand. But if she was carried by Adrian and walked out like that p>
No, just the thought of it made Eva feel embarrassed.
So, she firmly rejected Adrian’s request to carry her. He didn’t want to force her if she didn’t want it, so he went along with her wishes.
“If you feel embarrassed being carried, how about being piggybacked? That should be okay, right p>
Hesitating, Eva was still considering when Adrian had already moved to her side and bent down.
“Come on, my Eva p>
Looking at his broad back, Eva was still a bit conflicted, but Adrian’s hand reached out and pulled her onto his back without warning. “Don’t hesitate, come up p>
Eva ended up on his back, and he held her back with both hands.
Since Eva had her backpack on her back, she had to carry it herself now, as Adrian no longer had hands free to hold it for her.
After Adrian walked a short distance with Eva on his back, Kim and Margaret also disembarked from the plane with their two children. When they saw the couple ahead, they couldn’t help but exchange smiles and expressions of joy. Dylan was behaving well, standing obediently by Margaret’s side, while Ruby blinked her eyes with envy. Then she looked up and reached out her little hand towards Kim.
“Daddy carried Mommy, so Grandpa…Ruby wants to be carried too p>
Faced with his granddaughter’s request, Kim couldn’t refuse and quickly agreed. He immediately squatted down in front of his adorable granddaughter. “Come, Grandpa will carry you p>
From the past until now, Kim had never carried anyone on his back, not even his own son, Adrian. But unexpectedly, he was now carrying his little granddaughter. Ruby joyfully climbed onto Kim’s broad back and happily wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Thank you, Grandpa p>
Margaret watched this heartwarming scene with envy in her heart. Unable to resist, she lowered her head and looked at Dylan standing by her feet.
