Chapter 338
At this remark, Adrian’s gaze turned cold in an instant, and his tone became stern. “That’s between me and her p>
Vivian unwillingly responded, “But this is also about us. You don’t want me to entangle myself with you, yet you’re entangling yourself with Eva. Aren’t you unable to let go as well? So, what right do you have to ask me to let go? Adrian, I like you p>
After she finished speaking, Adrian’s thin lips curled slightly, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. He replied indifferently, “Alright, I won’t ask you to let go, but don’t use Jason as your shield either.” Vivian’s expression changed.
“Adrian, what are you talking about? How could I possibly use Jason as my shield? It was clear that he p>
“He allowed himself to be used, it was his own foolishness. But do you truly have no ulterior motives? If what happened last night was an accident, what about today? Did you bring him to the hospital?” Vivian found herself unable to refute his words.
“I brought him, but my intention was for him to apologize for what he did last night p>
“Did he apologize p>
“I p>
“Apologies should be given with an apologetic attitude. What kind of attitude did you both have just now p>
Vivian bit her lower lip. She didn’t come here to apologize, although she pretended to come for that reason when visiting him.
But in reality, she just wanted to see the truth and as for why she brought Jason along, it was because he was foolish and impulsive, just as Adrian had said, the best person to exploit.
But she believed her usual behavior was good enough, so how did Adrian see through it?
At this moment, she had no other choice but to show her weakness.
“I’m sorry, we really did come to apologize. We agreed on that before coming. But you know Jason’s personality, he’s impulsive. I can’t control his emotions, Adrian. But now you think that I’m using him. Can I really control his emotions?” However, no matter how much she explained, Adrian’s gaze remained cold.
“Whether you did or not, you know the truth deep down p>
“I p>
Vivian locked eyes with him for a moment, tears streaming from her eyes.
“Adrian, is that how you see me? I do envy you being with Eva now. If I could, I would rather be the one lying there, so you could take care of me personally. But I know things aren’t always as I wish. That’s why I’m worried about her getting hurt, and also because if it wasn’t for last night, when we came to find you, Eva wouldn’t have gotten hurt. Right now, I just want to make it up to her p>
After saying that, Vivian opened the bag in her hand. “Look, I even bought supplements and gifts for the two children. I really came to apologize, nothing else p>
After they were talking for a while, Jason on the other side was probably in a lot of pain, so he just lay on the ground without getting up.
Adrian glanced at the bag in her hand and saw that it indeed contained some supplements and such. Unfortunately, these didn’t change his thoughts at all. “Before she recovers, I don’t want her to see anyone. Leave p>
“Adrian.” Vivian saw that he was really about to leave and stepped forward to grab his collar.
“Do you want to reconcile with her?” she asked.
Hearing her words, Adrian frowned.
Reconcile?
Upon hearing this word, Adrian’s emotions suddenly became somewhat complex.
Did he want to reconcile with Eva?
The answer, needless to say, was that he himself felt that way. However, Eva’s attitude towards him was as if she found him so repulsive now, would she want to reconcile with him? Moreover, the misunderstandings between them still haven’t been resolved.
For example, the text message she sent him.
Regarding the text message, Adrian still didn’t know what was going on, and as for the task he had assigned to Jacob, there had been no update since last night.
It’s understandable when you think about it. After all, it’s been five years, and if they really investigate, it would probably take a long time, and there’s no guarantee they would find anything. He just couldn’t understand, back then the phone was always in his hands, how could it p>
“Adrian p>
Vivian called him again after he had been silent for a while, and at this moment, her voice made Adrian suddenly think of something.
Something seemed to flash through his mind.
At first, he didn’t catch it, but with Vivian’s voice appearing, Adrian finally caught it.
Realizing something, Adrian narrowed his eyes and his whole demeanor changed greatly.
He turned around and reached out, grabbing Vivian’s shoulder abruptly.
Vivian was startled by his action, staring at the handsome face in front of her in confusion.
“W-What’s… What’s wrong p>
What did she just say or do to upset him?
Why were his emotions suddenly so intense?
Or did he figure it out?
Vivian’s face lit up with joy, about to say something, but then she saw Adrian, with narrowed eyes, as he stated in a cold voice, “Five years ago, you took my phone.” “What p>
The sudden words made Vivian a bit puzzled, her expression bewildered.
What did he mean? Why did the topic suddenly go back to five years ago? So what if she took his phone?
And after Adrian said these words, he suddenly had a moment of enlightenment, recalling the scene in his office all those years ago.
Although it had been a long time, the thing she did slightly displeased Adrian, so now, thinking of it, it all became surprisingly clear.
At that time, in his office, she asked to borrow his phone.
Out of trust in her, he did not refuse and handed his phone to her without hesitation.
Afterwards, he became extremely busy with work and quickly immersed himself in it.
In the midst of his busyness, he heard the sound of a message coming in on his phone, but he didn’t pay attention to it because it was normal for his phone to have message notifications. It wasn’t until work was finished that he thought to take a look.
Little did he realise, Vivian actually told him that it was junk message and deleted it for him.
At the time, Adrian didn’t think much of it, after all, who would suspect someone who had saved their life and whom he trusted as a dear friend?
For Adrian, at the time, it was just a trivial incident.
But after last night, it was no longer a trivial incident.
It was a very important matter.
And Vivian obviously didn’t quite understand what Adrian meant.
“Adrian, what happened? Please explain it clearly p>
Adrian looked at Vivian who was still crying and decided to ask her directly.
“Five years ago, do you remember borrowing my phone in my office p>
Vivian nodded blankly.
“I remember, but this matter p>
She suddenly thought of the message she received on his phone at that time, her breathing tightened, and her words unconsciously stopped.
