Chapter 577
“Quickly dry off and get changed into clean pajamas, so you don’t catch a cold,” Adrian said as he himself donned a robe. When he finished and saw Eva still standing in the same spot, pouting; he couldn’t help but chuckle. “Why? Upset because I didn’t let you continue soaking p>
She didn’t answer him and just looked at him with a pitiful expression.
Seeing her like this, Adrian reached out helplessly and pinched her nose. “Alright, it’s just a bath. What’s the big deal? Can’t you do it again tomorrow p>
“Is tomorrow the same as today p>
Actually, she just felt tired today, so a bath was comforting. She might not be in the mood for it tomorrow. Plus, she didn’t have the habit of bathing every day.
“Staying in too long isn’t good for you p>
Having said that, Adrian didn’t feel like reasoning with her anymore. He simply picked up the reluctant Eva and carried her out of the bathroom.
He carried her to the wardrobe, put her down, opened the closet, glanced at the row of clothes inside, and asked, “Which pajamas do you want to wear tonight p>
As he asked, he flipped through the clothes, but Eva didn’t respond.
He turned back to see Eva still looking at him with the same pitiful gaze she had in the bathroom.
Adrian was at a loss and looked at her helplessly.
“You’re already out; are you still angry p>
Eva didn’t say anything.
Since she remained silent, Adrian figured he probably couldn’t appease her, so he stopped asking. He simply picked a set of pajamas that he thought looked good and handed them to Eva. “Quickly change p>
The robe was wet, and Adrian was worried that she might catch a cold if she stayed in it for too long.
However, Eva still stood there, seemingly still angry with him.
“Not changing p>
Seeing her like this, Adrian raised an eyebrow, “Do you want me to help you change p>
Eva, who had been standing still, looked at him speechlessly.
He was so shameless, always using this to threaten her.
Eva could no longer hold her ground and angrily snatched the pajamas from his hand to change into.
Now that she was finally willing to change, Adrian also took a set of pajamas and changed into them. After changing, Eva quickly crawled into bed.
Although she didn’t have her previous memories, she felt very comfortable here, probably because Grace had told her this was her room, which made her feel a sense of belonging.
She couldn’t help but roll around on the bed, taking up the whole space.
When she saw Adrian coming over, she finally made room for him.
“Do you like it here?” Adrian didn’t rush to get into bed but stood by it.
“Mm-hmm.” Eva nodded, “It feels like I’ve returned to my own place p>
This answer made Adrian pause, and after a moment, he couldn’t help but ask, “What about home? Don’t you feel a sense of belonging there p>
“What p>
At first, Eva didn’t understand what Adrian meant, but she quickly caught on.
Eva hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I meant; I also feel a sense of belonging there p>
But Adrian looked as if he’d been hurt, his eyes downcast.
“You don’t have to lie to me, maybe I just haven’t given you enough security p>
Eva was taken aback.
How had this suddenly happened?
The one who was originally lying in bed had to quickly get up and reach out to hold Adrian’s arm. “If you didn’t give me a sense of security, how could I possibly be with you? Even when you first came to rescue me, I didn’t know you at all but still chose to go with you, didn’t I p>
Hearing this, Adrian slowly lifted his gaze, landing on her arms wrapped around his own.
“So, to you, I do provide a sense of security p>
“Of course p>
Eva nodded without hesitation, completely oblivious to the fleeting smile in Adrian’s eyes.
“So, after we go back this time, can we live separately from our parents p>
While saying this, Adrian naturally grasped Eva’s slender arm.
Hearing this, Eva paused.
“Live separately p>
“Yeah, don’t you think it’s inconvenient to live with them p>
Eva blinked, looking innocently at him. “How is it inconvenient? The house is quite big and there are plenty of rooms. Also, what about Ruby and Dylan if we live separately?” Living separately was actually Adrian’s own selfish desire.
Living with his parents meant there were too many servants around, and only their room was their private space.
Not to mention, sometimes, in front of their parents and children, it wasn’t even convenient for Adrian to pull her onto his lap for a hug.
Once or twice, he could bear it.
But as the number of times increased, Adrian began to feel frustrated. She was his woman, but living with their parents created so many inconveniences.
Actually, even without this opportunity, Adrian had planned to discuss this with her after the New Year. He didn’t expect that before the New Year had even started, he had already told her his plan.
“I know what I’m about to say might upset you, but our parents really like Dylan and Ruby, and they aren’t working much now, so they have time. They can give Dylan and Ruby plenty of care.” Having said this, how could Eva not understand what he meant?
The implication was to let Dylan and Ruby stay with their grandparents.
But Eva wasn’t quite willing to let go. She pursed her lips and said somewhat unhappily, “I know you might be thinking for the children, but as their mother, when they’re still young, I don’t want them to leave my side.” Moreover, she had lost her previous memories, so if she didn’t spend more time with the children now, what would happen in the future? She didn’t even know whether she would be able to recover her memories in the future.
If she could, that would be fine, but what if she couldn’t?
So, she didn’t want to be separated from her children.
Hearing this, Adrian felt his head throb for a moment. He wanted to create more opportunities for the two of them to be alone, but his parents wanted to be with the children.
Eva didn’t care about his current thoughts. Seeing that he had stopped talking, she said, “Anyway, let’s not live separately for now. I think it’s quite good to live like this at present; why do we have to separate? And, I don’t think there’s anything inconvenient, is there something inconvenient for you p>
After saying this, she looked at him with a very puzzled expression.
“Is it because when your body recovers, you want to go back to manage the company? Is the company not here? If so, do you need to go back by yourself first? After all, my company is here… so p>
Before she could finish, he abruptly interrupted her, seemingly somewhat exasperated.
“Eva, are you secretly an alien? Because you’re not getting my human signals here.?” “Huh p>
She didn’t understand how she could secretly be an alien. Wasn’t her suggestion quite good?
