Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 520 Offering Something Else

"Am I coming across as ungrateful?" "Not at all."

A determined voice quickly countered, "I'm looking out for you, and you're concerned about me. We're both mindful of each other's feelings; how can that be ungrateful? Do you think I'm ungrateful?" Eva shook her head.

"How could I think that? It's just that I'm worried you might leave a poor impression on your grandparents or inadvertently hurt their feelings. They are getting on in years, you know." "True, you've got a point. I'll remember to be more considerate from now on."

He acknowledged his oversight with appropriate timing. He seemed to have a knack for reassuring her, which made Eva's fleeting concern evaporate.

"Just so you're aware."

Adrian offered a soft chuckle and walked on beside her.

"Have we ever just walked together like this before?"

This question sent Adrian into a reflective silence so prolonged that Eva turned to glance at him.

"Is it possible that after all this time together, we've never really just gone for a walk?"

She mused that for any couple, taking walks should be one of the simplest shared pleasures.

"We have," Adrian suddenly interjected.

"But that was ages ago, back when we were just kids."

In those days, she was his constant shadow.

"Back when we were kids?" Eva didn't usually cling to the past, but nostalgia piqued her interest whenever he mentioned their shared history. "That's right."

"Can you share more about what we did as kids? I'd love to hear."

Adrian glanced at her with a smile, "Sure, why not."

And so they continued their stroll down the tranquil country lane, with Adrian recounting tales from their childhood as Eva listened intently, chiming in now and then with a comment or question.

Time seemed to drift by unnoticed until Adrian's stride came to an abrupt halt. Eva, catching the change, inquired, "Something wrong?"

After a brief pause, he replied, "It's nothing."

Eva detected a hint of suppression in his voice, as if he were keeping something from her. At first, she found it strange and guessed in her mind, but soon she remembered something she had pushed to the back of her mind since she arrived here.

The fact that Adrian was still injured!

So Eva abruptly stopped and felt a bit annoyed with herself. How could she have forgotten such an important thing?

He had been attentive to her, even noticing when her appetite wasn't good, which showed how attentive he was to her, whereas she... had even forgotten that he was hurt. "Wait."

Eva called out to him, "Let's go back."

"What's wrong?"

Adrian glanced sideways at her and said, "We've only just come out; if we go back now, Grandma might want to feed you again soon. It might be better to wait until later in the night and return when they are surely asleep." The elderly couple usually went to bed very early, typically asleep by nine o'clock.

So, if they walked until after nine, they naturally wouldn't have to meet them.

Unexpectedly, Eva was unwilling.

"No, let's go back now. We're not far from home anyway."

Adrian frowned slightly, "Aren't you worried about yourself?"

Hearing this, Eva didn't think much and directly said, "I'm more worried about you."

Adrian paused, "What did you say?"

"I'm sorry." Eva looked at him with an apologetic face, "After coming here, I forgot about your injury."

She had only been thinking about the children and had completely neglected him.

If she were in his shoes, she would surely feel terrible.

Realizing that she was apologizing for this reason, Adrian sighed with extreme resignation.

"Is that all? I thought it was something serious."

Eva's elegant brows knitted at this response.

"You're seriously hurt, isn't that a big deal? Let's not walk anymore; let's go back. You should have your wound redressed."

At this point, Eva remembered something else and asked, "By the way, did you bring the medicine with you?"

Seeing the worry almost spilling out of her eyes, Adrian didn't have the heart to let her continue to worry for him and simply answered, "I did bring it; it's all in my suitcase. I'll change it later when we go back."

"Can you manage it on your own?" Eva wasn't ready to let it go, "Let's go back now, and I'll help you change it."

Adrian pursed his lips and fell silent.

Seeing him silent, Eva lifted her head to look at him. She saw a helpless look in his eyes and had no choice but to say, "Anyway, with you around, if I encounter something I don't like to eat, I'll just stuff it into your mouth, okay?" He still didn't speak.

Eva had to soften her voice, "Come on, I actually want to eat something too. After all, I'm so thin, I need to eat more, right? But don't worry, I'll control the portions myself. If I can't eat anymore, I definitely won't force myself." She knew Adrian didn't want to go back early because he was worried that she would force herself to eat in front of the elders.

Sure enough, after she spoke softly for a while, she finally managed to persuade Adrian a little.

But he still stood there, seemingly a bit reluctant.

"What's the matter? I've already said this, isn't it enough?"

Adrian suddenly let out a light laugh, "It's not that it's not enough; it's just that besides saying these things, can you give a little more of something else?" Eva looked puzzled, "Something else?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was embraced by the person in front of her. Adrian's grip tightened, and she uncontrollably fell forward into his arms.

His overpowering masculine presence enveloped her strongly.

"If you want to persuade me to do something next time, it's better to do it with actions, hmm?"

He had already leaned down; his forehead was against hers, and their breaths were mingling together.

The ambiguous atmosphere made Eva so nervous that even her eyelashes trembled lightly.

Although she didn't resist Adrian's closeness, this was the second time they had been intimate today, and it was too much for her to accept.

"I..."

She instinctively stretched out her hand to push Adrian's chest. When her hand touched him, she was afraid of hurting his wound, so she quietly moved it to another spot. Noticing her subtle movement, Adrian fell silent.

After seeing that she was still attentive to his injury at this time, Adrian knew that she was truly worried about him.

With this thought, Adrian no longer had the heart to tease her, and, restraining himself, he gently kissed her smooth forehead, "Let's go back."
