Chapter 578
Eva expressed her frustration.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with my suggestion p>
“What do you think?” Adrian retorted, sounding rather displeased. “How long have we been reunited? How much time have we spent together? I just wanted some private time with you, but you want me to go back alone. You heartless woman p>
After saying that, Adrian still seemed angry. He reached out as if he wanted to knock on her forehead heavily, but when his hand was about to touch her, he stopped. He couldn’t bear to do it. In the end, he could only lightly tap her fair forehead.
“An alien p>
Eva touched her forehead subconsciously when it was tapped, and said awkwardly, “I… I didn’t know that’s what you meant. You just said it was inconvenient; you didn’t say you wanted to be alone with me p>
Unable to bear knocking her forehead, Adrian finally had to settle for pinching her soft cheek. “Do I really need to say it? Can’t you understand the implication in my words p>
He didn’t pinch her hard, but Eva felt a bit embarrassed having her cheek pinched like that and pushed his hand away.
“Next time, just say what you mean. Why all the hints p>
She thought that would be the end of it, but then Adrian suddenly stared at her intently.
“Are you sure you want me to be straightforward p>
This question gave Eva an ominous feeling. Before she could answer, Adrian said, “Then I hope you will move out and live with me.” As he said this, Adrian held her hand. “Will you come with me p>
His tone was very gentle when he said this, and his gaze was completely focused on her face, so tender that it seemed to overflow. Such a siege almost made Eva unable to resist. It almost made her agree.
But at the last moment, she remembered the innocent faces of the two children, each hugging her arm and calling her mommy.
She didn’t know what others would think, but for Eva now, she felt that she couldn’t make a choice between her husband and her children. With this thought, she immediately shook her head.
“No, I can’t p>
Her refusal didn’t seem to surprise Adrian. He had tried his best, but it seemed he already knew her answer.
But when he lowered his eyes, there was still a hint of bitterness.
He could understand Eva’s choice, even without her memories. He knew how much he had hurt her in the past.
So even if she didn’t remember the past now, her subconsciousness wouldn’t lie.
In her subconsciousness, the children were much more important than him.
Although Adrian didn’t want to compete with the two children for her affection, he still couldn’t help but feel bitter after knowing the truth.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Eva suddenly said, “I don’t want to be separated from you, or any of the children p>
Hearing this, Adrian raised his eyes in surprise.
He had thought that she could separate from him, but not from the children.
“You all have the same place in my heart.” Eva looked into his eyes and said seriously, “But you said that Mom and Dad want to see the children. If we move out, I don’t think I can just hand over the children to them. It’s not that I don’t trust them, but the children are mine. I value them very much, and of course, I value you too p>
One sentence after another, like a warm stream, flowed into Adrian’s heart.
As soon as she finished speaking, Adrian couldn’t help but pull her into his arms.
“That’s enough p>
Once Eva was pulled into his arms and heard him say ‘that’s enough’ in his deep voice, she started to feel a bit frustrated.
What did he mean?
What was enough?
Does he think she talked too much?
“Your words are enough p>
Soon, what Adrian said next dispelled Eva’s doubts.
“At least in your heart, me and the children occupy the same place p>
While holding her, Adrian gently kissed her neck.
“It’s late, let’s go to sleep p>
He let go of her, and they both lay flat on the bed.
Eva lay on her side, facing him.
“So, do we not need to move out for now? Should we all live together p>
Although he had not achieved his goal, there was no other option for now, so Adrian had to leave this idea aside for the future.
“Yes, let’s all live together for now, but… when the children grow up, can we move out p>
The children grow up?
Eva thought about it seriously. The two children were five years old this year, and the New Year was coming soon. How many years later would they be grown up?
Eva didn’t want to upset Adrian over something that would happen many years later, so when he proposed it, she didn’t think much and just agreed. “Okay p>
Adrian’s eyes glowed slightly, “You really agree? You’re not lying to me p>
“Yes p>
The corner of Adrian’s mouth curled up slightly, “Then you can’t regret it later; I won’t be as easy-going as I am now p>
“I know p>
Adrian suddenly noticed a hint of sleepiness in her voice.
Sure enough, after he thought about it, Eva closed her eyes uncontrollably; it seemed she was getting sleepy.
Seeing her drowsy but still wanting to talk to him made Adrian feel a surge of pity. He reached out, touched her cheek, and said softly, “It’s late, go to sleep.” “Mmm, okay p>
Eva responded with a nasal voice. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly seemed to remember something and squinted at him, “You should also go to sleep. Don’t stay up late p>
Even though she was sleepy, she still thought of reminding him to sleep. Adrian couldn’t help but lean over and gently kiss her fair forehead.
“Okay, let’s sleep together p>
“Good night, Eva p>
Adrian didn’t know if she heard his goodnight, but she didn’t respond after he said it, so she must have fallen asleep.
He sighed in his heart, reached out to pull the blanket up to cover her slender shoulders, and then closed his eyes.
Soon, the two of them fell asleep together.
The next day
Eva was still asleep when she heard the noise downstairs. Although it was noisy, she was still very sleepy and wanted to turn over and continue sleeping subconsciously. But she couldn’t move because her waist was being tightly held by someone.
With this turning and moving, Eva woke up quite a bit.
She looked down and found that Adrian’s hand was holding her waist like an iron chain. She could say that she was sleeping against Adrian.
It was fine when she was asleep, but when she woke up and wanted to turn over but couldn’t, she felt that the position she was maintaining was really uncomfortable.
So, she only maintained the original position for five seconds and then tried to reach out and remove Adrian’s hand from her waist.
But she didn’t remove his hand; instead, she woke Adrian up.
Adrian opened his eyes. They looked as black as ink and as deep as the sea when he just woke up.
“Awake p>
