Chapter 81
However, in the end, Eva nodded and agreed.
When she returned to her room, she found Adrian sitting on the sofa.
Thinking about the words her grandmother said, Eva inspected his clothes.
As her grandmother said, he was only wearing a black shirt, leaning against the dark sofa, his gloomy aura almost blending with the sofa.
Eva never expected that things would escalate to this point today.
Even if they weren’t married, they were still good friends since childhood, just without the intimacy of a married couple.
Beneath this layer, he had still helped her a lot.
Eva knew she should lower her head first, but for some reason, she stood there and looked at Adrian for a long time, and in the end, she didn’t say anything and went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she came out, Adrian was no longer in the bedroom.
Instead, her phone had several messages.
Eva took it out and glanced at it, realizing it was from an unfamiliar number.
“Little girl, this is my phone number, remember to save it p>
Although he didn’t say his name, this nickname could only be used by one person, and Eva knew who it was.
After saving the number under Michael’s name, she replied, “I’ve grown up, can you stop calling me like that p>
She didn’t know if Michael had his phone with him or if he happened to be playing with his phone, but he replied quickly, “Then what should I call you p>
“Name p>
Considering her relationship with Michael, calling each other by their names was the best option.
“Name?” Michael’s question mark seemed to be pondering. After a moment, he sent another message, “Alright, let’s go with Eve from now on p>
Eve p>
This nickname made Eva’s expression change. Only Adrian had ever called her this, and even he only called her that when he was angry.
Just as she was about to reply, Michael sent another message, “Alright, the nickname is settled for now. I still have some work to handle here, so rest up and see you tomorrow p>
Originally, Eva had planned to tell him not to call her that randomly, but when she saw Michael’s message, she abandoned the idea of replying.
She just glanced at the time and realized it was already almost ten o’clock.
“It’s so late, and he still has work p>
After saying that, she thought about Adrian, who was not in the room, and wondered where he had gone.
Eva put away her phone and lay down on the bed, soon falling asleep.
The next day, when Eva woke up, she found the position next to her empty, and it seemed like Adrian hadn’t come back at all last night.
She sat there for a while, lost in thought, before getting up and going downstairs to freshen up.
When Eva passed by the study, she coincidentally encountered Adrian opening the door and walking out. Their eyes met in mid-air, and they both froze.
Neither of them expected to meet here.
After a moment, Adrian looked at her with an expressionless face and casually said, “Good evening p>
“Michael is going to invite everyone to go out and gather, right p>
His tone was sour and his aura was cold.
Eva thought that after last night, them would continue their silent treatment. She was even thinking about what to say if her grandmother continued to ask when they would go eat. But she didn’t expect Adrian to take the initiative to break the ice with her.
As Eva was surprised, she thought about how she used to argue with Adrian when they were young. They would argue fiercely, and back then, being young, they didn’t choose their words carefully.
After the argument, Eva would always feel regret, but she couldn’t bring herself to talk to him, so she decided to ignore him. However, he would always be the one to initiate conversation with her, no matter how many times they had the silent treatment. even if he initiated, his expression would still be sour.
If she ignored him, he would be even more angry and continue to talk to her through gritted teeth.
Lost in her thoughts, Eva nodded.
“Alright p>
Adrian’s expression softened.
After having a meal, them went out together again. Eva intended to drive herself, but when she turned around, she saw Adrian rolling down the car window, looking at her with cold eyes. “Get in the car p>
Thinking about how they would be attending the gathering together later that night, Eva didn’t refuse.
The entire trip was silent, and once they arrived at the company, they each went to their respective work stations.
Just as Eva sat down, she received a message from her best friend, Emily.
“How have you been recently? Granny Blackwood’s surgery got postponed, so does that mean your matters will be postponed as well?” “Mhm p>
“Ah, so how long will it be postponed for p>
“Not sure for now. Granny is currently resting, so it might depend on her decision p>
Emily replied with six dots.
Eva knew what she meant.
“Don’t worry for me, I will handle it properly p>
Even after a while, Emily still hadn’t replied, but Eva didn’t mind. She guessed that Emily was busy with something.
Coincidentally, Jenny walked in holding a stack of documents.
“Eva, sis p>
She looked at Eva with a worried expression and cautiously asked, “You and Mr. Blackwood are okay after last night, right p>
“We’re fine p>
“That’s good.” Jenny placed the documents on the desk and breathed a sigh of relief. After Eva got into the car last night, she had asked the taxi to wait outside. Later, she saw them come out, but instead of leaving, they stood by the car and said something to each other.
After a while, it seemed like they had an argument, but Jenny couldn’t hear what they were saying because she was too far away.
She felt a bit guilty.
Last night, when she was badmouthing Kris to Adrian, she exaggerated things.
She disliked Kris last night, and most importantly, she wanted to keep Eva, so she deliberately said things that would make Adrian sympathize with her.
As Eva opened the folder, she felt something.
Raise her eyes to look at Jenny.
“You seem like you have something to say p>
Jenny waved her hands.
“No p>
She awkwardly scratched her forehead, “Then I’ll go out first p>
“Yeah, remember to close the door for me p>
“Okay, sister Eva p>
Jenny walked out with a dejected expression. In fact, she wanted to apologize to Eva for what happened last night, but p>
She reached the door and closed it on her way out.
She didn’t dare to apologize because Eva’s expression didn’t look good, so she was afraid to anger her if she said anything.
But, if it wasn’t because of her, Eva wouldn’t have encountered such a situation last night.
Jenny leaned against the door, gloomily poking her finger.
Brent walked over with something in his hand. He saw Jenny standing outside the door and smiled at her, about to speak, when a voice came from inside the room.
“If it wasn’t for you being pregnant, what would I worry about for you? Handle it properly, how are you handling it? Dragging the days on, won’t your belly grow bigger p>
