Chapter 64
After the performance, everyone went inside the house. The butler had prepared a meal for Granny Blackwood in the kitchen, strictly following the standard lines, but because it was getting late, Granny Blackwood ate very restrained and put down her spoon after a few bites.
“Thank you all for your kind gestures p>
Afterwards, Granny Blackwood prepared to freshen up, and Eva wanted to help but was gently patted by Granny Blackwood.
“What help do I need? It’s just freshening up. I’m not really incapable of showering myself,” Granny Blackwood said.
Eva wanted to say something more, but Granny Blackwood had already turned her head towards Vivian and whispered, “Vivian, it’s getting late. Why don’t you stay here tonight? Let Eva call the household staff to prepare a guest room for you.” Vivian, who had been absentmindedly eating, was suddenly called out and immediately shook her head, saying, “Thank you, Granny Blackwood. But it’s not quite appropriate for me to stay here p>
Granny Blackwood said, “Why not appropriate? We have plenty of guest rooms here. It’s not difficult to prepare. Besides, you are a great benefactor to the Blackwood family, so feel free to stay p>
She had said these words and Vivian didn’t feel it was right to refuse anymore.
And deep down, she actually wanted to stay.
If she stayed here, she would be closer to Adrian.
Before she could speak again, Eva smiled faintly and said softly, “Uncle Butler, find a few people to help Miss Morrison tidy up the room p>
The butler could only nod helplessly and said, “As you wish, madam p>
Throughout, Adrian had remained silent in his seat.
After everyone dispersed, the remaining few people in the living room were just the three of them.
The remaining servants, who felt the subtle atmosphere, left as well.
Once there were no other people around, Vivian glanced at Eva and then turned back to Adrian, asking softly, “Adrian, would it be alright if I stayed? Or… should I just go back?” Eva, seeing that she said she wanted to go back but didn’t move, remained seated.
Adrian, with no expression on his face, said lightly, “It’s fine for one night p>
“Then p>
Vivian turned to Eva, “Eva, you wouldn’t mind me staying, would you p>
Eva hesitated, she didn’t expect Vivian to bring the question to her after asking Adrian. Vivian knew there was no way Eva could say she minded, but Vivian still asked in a strange tone. Upon realizing this, Eva tugged at her lip, appearing at ease and graceful, “Of course not. I would be happy for you to stay p>
She finished speaking and even tilted her chin, asking, “Do you need me to spare the room for the night p>
Listening to this, Adrian, who was originally expressionless, frowned deeply and looked at Eva with cold eyes. Vivian was taken aback and it took her a while to speak awkwardly, “Wh-What do you mean?” Eva casually flicked her long hair with her finger and relaxed her posture, “The literal meaning, Miss Morrison. Take your time to think, and you’ll understand p>
After saying that, she stood up directly, too lazy to continue pretending, and left with a remark, “Call me if you need anything. I’ll cooperate p>
And then she left.
Adrian watched her departing figure, his face suddenly turning cold, while Vivian sat there dumbfounded, never expecting Eva to say such words.
She had only wanted to provoke Eva, but she never expected her to say something like that in front of Adrian!
Vivian looked at Adrian with a pitiful expression, “Adrian, did I say something wrong just now? I’m sorry. I didn’t know she would get angry. Maybe I should go back.” After speaking, Vivian stood up in a hurry, stumbling and rushing towards the exit.
When passing by Adrian, her arm was grabbed by him, and he furrowed and said, “I told you to stay, so stay. You don’t have to care about what she says.” “But p>
“Sir, Miss Morrison’s room has been prepared.” The butler suddenly ran over from a distance and interrupted.
What? The room has been prepared?
Vivian looked at the butler in surprise. They had just left a few minutes ago, how could it be prepared so quickly? Did they really clean it properly?
“Yes,” Adrian didn’t pay attention to this at the moment, he lowered his head and said to Vivian, “Go to your room with the butler. It’s late. Get some rest.” After speaking, Adrian walked quickly towards the direction Eva left.
“Adrian p>
Vivian’s call went unheard, leaving her with a cold back.
Vivian stood still, feeling a bit resentful. She resented Eva’s inexplicable words just now, but before she could think about it, the butler’s cold and mechanical voice sounded again. “Miss Morrison, would you like me to take you to the guest room p>
Although she was dissatisfied with his attitude, Vivian had no choice at the moment and could only force a smile, “Thank you, Uncle Butler p>
But who knew that the butler seemed to ignore her words, turned around without expression, and walked forward.
Vivian had to suppress her dissatisfaction and quickly followed.
After Eva went upstairs and returned to her room, she closed the door and entered the bathroom. She leaned on the washbasin, looking at herself in the mirror.
Well, when she spoke those words just now and saw the astonished look on Vivian’s face and the expressionless face of Adrian, she felt quite satisfied.
Indeed, magic can defeat magic.
Isn’t Vivian playing with her emotions?
Then she can also use such a method, play with her emotions and go back without getting angry at all.
Pretending to be pitiful and acting generous, who can’t do that?
In the midst of contemplation, the bathroom door was pushed open by someone.
Eva was startled and turned her head to see Adrian walking in.
He was tall with long legs, and the spacious bathroom instantly became narrow when he entered.
Seeing him, a slight frown formed on Eva’s forehead.
Adrian stared at her with deep eyes and his voice was icy, “What did you mean by what you said just now p>
Eva shrugged, “It’s just to fulfill your wishes. What else could it mean p>
Upon hearing her words, Adrian’s frown deepened and the pressure around him noticeably decreased.
Eva wanted to leave because she didn’t want to stay in the same space with him. But since Adrian was blocking the doorway, she couldn’t go out, so she said, “Please move aside.” Adrian didn’t react and stood there like an iceberg.
Eva furrowed and squeezed through a gap on the left.
But as soon as she walked past, Adrian suddenly moved, quickly tilting his body in that direction to block her.
Eva: p>
She looked up at him speechlessly and then went around to the other side.
However, Adrian followed her and blocked her path on the other side, not allowing her to leave.
After several attempts like this, Eva finally lost her patience and angrily raised her head at him, “What exactly do you want to do? If you’re so idle, why don’t you go find your Before she could finish her sentence, Adrian suddenly grabbed her shoulder and pushed her against the cold and hard bathroom wall p>
