Chapter 232
Perfume p>
As tears flowed down Vivian’s face, she instantly became alert.
Five years had passed. When did his body ever have the scent of a woman’s perfume?
Moreover, this fragrance was light, like the scent of flowers wafting on the water. If one didn’t sniff carefully, they wouldn’t be able to detect it at all. Women in bars or at drinking tables wouldn’t spray such a faint perfume.
Lost in her thoughts, Vivian’s hand was pushed away by Adrian. He exerted some force, causing Vivian to stagger backward.
Then she saw Adrian staring at her aggressively, like a wolf.
“Don’t touch me p>
Seeing him make this expression for the first time, Vivian was frightened and stood frozen in place, not daring to approach again.
But thinking about the perfume on his body, Vivian couldn’t accept it.
“Fine, I won’t touch you. But tell me honestly, where did the scent of perfume on you come from? It’s okay if you don’t like me, but what about someone else?” Perfume?
Upon hearing this, Adrian’s expression became somewhat dazed. He raised his arm and sniffed, indeed catching a whiff of a faint fragrance.
It was her scent.
Having spent so much time together, riding the same horse and being in his embrace, how could there not be a lingering scent?
Adrian had simply made these gestures unconsciously.
But to Vivian’s eyes, it meant everything.
In Vivian’s eyes, she was shocked.
As an outsider, she was able to clearly see the moment when Adrian’s gaze and the heaviness on his face instantly disappeared, even raising his hand to smell himself. Afterwards, his eyes became softer.
If there was a mirror at that moment, Vivian estimated that she would see how hideous her expression was.
“Who is it?” Vivian instinctively asked when she realized a possibility.
Hearing this, Adrian snapped out of it, giving her a cold glance.
“I don’t need to explain my private life to you, do I p>
Vivian bit her lip, her face turning pale.
Adrian’s disdainful appearance was unbearable for Vivian, who then turned and left. The door to the hotel slammed loudly, but Adrian didn’t care as long as she was gone. He expressionlessly went to the bathroom to shower.
While showering, Adrian’s mood became even more agitated as he thought about what had happened today, as well as Eva’s words to him. He quickly took a shower, then casually tied a towel around his waist and came out, taking out his phone to call Henry. When Henry answered the call, he was still at the bar, where it was incredibly noisy.
“Come out,” Adrian said coldly. Henry was afraid to offend him, so he quickly found a quiet place to talk.
“What’s wrong?” Adrian asked, thinking about something.
“Does she have a favor to ask of you?” Henry didn’t immediately react, “Who p>
Adrian restrained his temper and said coldly, “What do you think p>
After hearing his voice, Henry finally regained his composure after a while. “Are you talking about Eva? I don’t think she has any favor to ask of me, right p>
“Then why did she come to you? How did you two meet p>
After finding out about their relationship during the day, Adrian asked, and Henry briefly explained how they met, then added, “Last time at the auction, I borrowed a suit from her, and she said she would bring it to me, so I asked her to come to the stable p>
“Only returned the suit?” Adrian discovered a loophole. “When you said you borrowed her a suit at the auction, which auction was it p>
“Don’t you know which one? You were there too, weren’t you? You didn’t meet her that day p>
“Tell me, after returning the suit, what did she say to you p>
This time, Henry remained silent for a while before saying, “Adrian, although we have a business relationship, is it necessary for you to interfere even in what she says to me as a friend?” However, Adrian didn’t buy his explanation at all. “Will you tell me or not p>
“Adrian, you’re shameless p>
Finally, under his threat, Henry directly disclosed what happened yesterday.
After hanging up the phone, Adrian coldly looked at his phone and, after a moment, his thin lips curved slightly.
Because of tomorrow’s events, Adrian’s originally restless mood improved somewhat.
Before falling asleep, he took out his phone and logged onto the app to check the account of those two adorable kids.
Last time, they came on the same flight when Adrian was abroad, so their destination should also be here.
Sure enough, Adrian clicked into their profile and saw that the IP address showed Chicago.
What a coincidence.
They were in the same city abroad last time, on the same flight, and now, after returning for so long, they were in Chicago.
Did his parents plan to settle down in Chicago with the kids?
The thought made Adrian’s face turn unpleasant.
If he hadn’t divorced Eva five years ago, should their children be this age too?
The next day, when Eva woke up, Ruby was lying on her, her little head nestled in the crook of Eva’s arm.
As soon as Eva moved, Ruby murmured twice.
“Mama, sleepy, hugs p>
Eva reached out to hug her and grabbed her phone while checking the time before saying to Ruby, “Time to get up, we have to go to school today.” Ruby lazed on her for a few more seconds before getting up.
Both of them had good habits, and as soon as Eva mentioned getting up, they never stayed in bed.
After getting up, Ruby dressed herself.
Eva went to do other things without helping her.
When they were abroad, the two of them were already capable of dressing themselves, and Eva went to the kitchen to make breakfast for the children.
As she approached, she heard noises coming from the kitchen.
Only then did Eva realize that Luna had come to cook.
Although it had been half a month already, Eva still wasn’t accustomed to having a maid at home.
When she got up, Luna greeted her warmly.
Michael was also awake, and after everyone had breakfast, he said he would take Eva to work.
Eva’s lips moved, and then she said, “That’s not necessary, I can go by myself p>
Michael then said, “Then shall I take the children to school p>
Eva felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Michael, you don’t have to. Don’t you still have other things to do? It’s fine for me to take them to school on my way to work Before she could finish her sentence, Michael took a few steps forward and lightly held her wrist.
“Eva, I’m in a hurry p>
Hearing this, Eva paused.
Michael smiled slightly, his voice soft.
“So, let me show you, what’s wrong with that p>
