Chapter 44
Eva remembered that she listened to Granny Blackwood's stories about her youth, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.
Thinking of this, Eva blamed herself. “I didn't fall asleep on purpose. Will Grandma be upset with me?”
“Grandma loves you so much.” Adrian mentioned that after she fell asleep, Granny Blackwood couldn't bear to wake her up.
After hearing that, Eva lowered her eyes and laughed lightly.
She had just woken up and looked very naive. When Adrian saw her look, he subconsciously raised his hand and flicked her forehead lightly, “What are you thinking about all day long?”
Eva was a bit sleepy just now, but now she woke up. She stroked her forehead and looked at Adrian, a bit dazed.
In fact, sometimes, certain actions of Adrian's often left Eva confused and even created a bubble of their own time together.
This illusion had frequently appeared over the past two years, occasionally flashing by and existing only for a moment. Even so, Eva always remained clear-headed.
Then as time went by and their bodies began to fit together, she gradually became immersed in this feeling and really believed that she would be with him forever.
However, reality hit her in the head.
As long as Vivian came back, his choice would always be her.
When she thought about this, Eva's heart and eyes were colder. She put her hand down and lowered her eyes without speaking.
The smile under Adrian's eyes faded a bit.
Although Eva didn't say anything, he could feel the sudden coldness in her breath.
“What?”
Eva shook her head, “No, I'm just a little dazed from sleep.”
When Adrian saw her get up, he naturally raised his hand and tried to give her a hand.
As soon as his hand reached out to her, Eva avoided it as if she was electrocuted.
For a moment, Adrian's movement froze, and so did Eva.
“Is this what you call a truce?”
Eva looked up and found that Adrian's lips held a cold smile and his eyes were flushed with coolness.
She snapped back, “Sorry, there will never be a next time.”
After saying that, Eva pressed her palms and sat up by herself.
However, even if she apologized, there was no use, because her action of avoiding him resulted in the atmosphere between the two becoming tense again.
Eva took a look at his ugly face and sighed softly in her heart.
Thinking that Granny Blackwood would come out after the checkup and may find out what was going on between them, Eva had to say, “It's my fault for what happened just now, but Grandma should be coming out soon, right? Why don't you go back?”
Hearing that, the breath on Adrian's body suddenly chilled.
“What did you say?”
Eva said, “I'm not kicking you out, do you want grandma to see you now? Anyway, you have to work in the afternoon, I will explain clearly to grandma.”
After saying that, the room fell into dead silence.
Eva lowered her eyes and did not speak again.
After a long time, Adrian threw his hands away and left.
He was probably mad, but he restrained himself from slamming the door on the way out. Eva took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
It seemed that once the rift existed, it was very difficult to make a truce.
Fortunately, there were only a few days left, so it would be good to get over it.
Eva just hoped that when the time came, Granny Blackwood would be able to accept this matter calmly.
After Granny Blackwood came back from her checkup, she asked about Adrian. Eva told her he had gone back to work, and she nodded understandingly.
Granny Blackwood added, “If you hadn't been here, I guess he wouldn't have come over here at this time.”
Hearing that, Eva was still a bit stunned.
But then she shook her head in denial.
Whether Adrian made the trip for himself or not, it didn't matter. They would both end up getting divorced.
Adrian returned to the office with a bad look on his face.
He had been holding his breath so hard on the road that as soon as he entered the office, he took off his black suit and threw it hard onto the couch.
The assistant who came in behind him was startled and was hesitant to rush out, but, thought of something and stood still.
It took Adrian a long time to calm himself down. When he turned his head, he found the assistant standing in the office, displeased, “What are you doing here?”
The assistant shrank her neck with a slightly abashed expression and put the thermos bucket she was carrying on the desktop.
Adrian frowned, “What is it?”
He was already annoyed enough.
“Mr. Blackwood, Miss Morrison made you a love lunch. When I sent her back, she slipped it into my hand when I wasn't looking and asked me to bring it back to you.”
When the assistant said this, he was extremely unhappy in his heart.
He didn't know how to handle the meal, so he had to take it back.
Adrian was so angry that he hadn't had a chance to eat lunch. When he was at the sanatorium, he sent Granny Blackwood to have lunch and wanted to wait for Eva to wake up and then have lunch together.
Not only did he not eat his lunch, but he was also full of anger.
Thinking of this, Adrian raised his hand to pull his tie loose, pursed his thin lips, and said in a deep voice, "I've eaten, you can finish it."
The assistant glanced at him and then shook his head, “No, Mr. Blackwood. This is Miss Morrison's special 'lunch of love' for you. How dare I eat it?”
Adrian turned to his assistant, narrowed his eyes, and asked in a cold voice, “Who told you to speak in such a shady tone?”
As soon as his voice turned cold, the assistant instantly wimped out, not daring to be silenced.
Adrian ordered, “Get out.”
The assistant bristled, turned around and left the office.
Adrian ripped off his tie and threw it onto the sofa, then sat down and let out a cold laugh.
What a good day.
Not only did Eva not let him in her sights, but even his assistant was starting to get his wings.
Within minutes of the assistant going out, he knocked on the door again.
“What is it again?” Adrian looked at her coldly.
The assistant carried a beautifully wrapped bag in his hand, swallowed his saliva, and said, “A restaurant just sent something over, saying that Ms. Hansen ordered lunch for you.”
