Chapter 327 Leave Me Alone

I hadn't expected her to come to Manovia with Zack

"You're coming to Manovia with him? Surely, it's not just to see me?"

"What are you talking about? I'll be there to expand the market; I'm going for work!" Jill rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed.

ow working on expanding into

It turned out that in the past few months, Jill had been pushed by her father into the family business and was now international markets.

Zack's company had always had projects abroad, and they teamed up, prompting their trip to Manovia together

Originally, Astrid and I planned to head to the airport together, but her professor suddenly called her away just before we left

Astrid walled, "No way! I don't want to go. Why do we have to do experiments right now?"

Sho had participated in several important projects and simply couldn't be absent. In the end, she called Jack to take me to the airport. As she left, she turned back multiple times. "Eva, save some beef jerky for ine. Don't eat it all! When I get back, I'll treat you to pizza and beer."

"She can't drink," Jack interjected flatly.

Then, he turned back to me. "Ms. Green, let's go."

I forced a smile and got into the car.

I didn't want Jack to drive me; he felt too cold and aloof

But given my current health condition, It wasn't ideal to be alone, so I had no choice. I thought I would have to treat Astrid to some snacks later to return the favor

On the way to the airport, the atmosphere in the car was eerily quiet.

Jack seemed like a conservative person. His car felt old-fashioned, and he didn't even play music while driving

I sat in the passenger seat, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

Suddenly, he handed me a carton of milk. "Do you want some?"

Looking at the cute carton of strawberry milk and then at Jack, I was stunned. Why would he carry something like this around?

you want it?"

thanked him and took it after he asked if I wanted the milk for the second time. Thinking of the foodie Astrid, I realized this was probably meant for her. As I sipped the milk, my stomach betrayed me with a loud growl He seemed a bit impatient and furrowed his brows slightly.

I awkwardly explained, "Sorry, I woke up late and haven't eaten yet.

Although many people in Manovia skipped breakfast, I insisted on eating three meals a day. If it weren't for the thought of Jill, I wouldn't be this anxious. Jack didn't say anything and just nodded. When we arrived at the arrival hall, he glanced at the time.

"Ms. Green, I'm going to buy something. Wait for me."

I nodded, feeling a bit nervous. Jill was about to arrive, and I was finally going to see a friend I hadn't met in months. Even though we occasionally video-called, it was different from meeting in person.. As I watched the flight information, my heart raced with excitement. Remarkably, the flight wasn't delayed today!

"Eva!"

Suddenly, I thought I heard Leonard's voice, and I shook my head vigorously.

"Eva!"

Another call pulled me back to reality

Looking toward the sound, I saw Leonard beaming at me with a very pregnant Amelia behind him. She had to be seven or eight months along by now as her belly was quite pronounced. 30 to 40

She had put on a significant amount of weight, easily Dressed in an outfit plastered with huge designer logos, they were clearly expensive, yet the combination seemed odd.

to 40 pounds. If it weren't for her

her recognizable features, I might not have recognized her. Upon spotting me, Amelia's expression soured immediately. She shoved Leonard aside and walked right up to me "Eva, why can't you love us alone? Did you follow us all the way to Manovia?"
