Chapter 543 What Should She Do?
Lost in thought, the doorknob turned gently, and the next second, Adrian opened the door and walked in. When their eyes met, Adrian was taken aback, probably not expecting her to be awake so early. Moreover, she hadn't gone out, and
was simply sitting on the bed looking at her phone.
After closing the door behind him, Adrian walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Why didn't you call me when you woke up?"
Noticing the phone in her hand and her seemingly unwell complexion, Adrian's expression changed slightly.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing."
Eva replied subconsciously, then put the phone next to the pillow, seizing the moment to inquire, "I seem to have slept for a long time. You didn't wander off during this time, did you?" "Do you really think of me as a child?" Adrian sarcastically shot back.
He couldn't help but reach out and pinch her nose. "Besides, you are here. Where could I possibly go?"
The warm touch on her nose made Eva flustered. She looked at Adrian's handsome features and almost blurted out asking what had happened between them in the past.
But when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back down.
Things seemed to be complicated enough already, and she did not have all her memories at the moment. Even if she asked, it would be a one-sided affair for her.
How could she make a decision suitable for herself based on such one-sided information?
Forget it, better not to ask. She would try to regain her memories later.
With this thought, Eva made up her mind to seek help from her best friend after sorting things out here.
Noticing her hesitate and then fall silent, Adrian wanted to ask but then decided not to. If she wanted to talk, she would ask when the time was right.
"Are you hungry? Shall we have the hotel bring up some food?"
It was only when he mentioned it that Eva realized she was indeed hungry and wanted to eat.
She nodded. "Okay."
Lately, her appetite had improved, and her food intake had gradually increased.
"Let's go."
As she propped herself up to get out of bed, Adrian intended to take her phone for her, but before his hand could touch it, Eva snatched the phone back like she had just been electrocuted. Her action was swift as if she feared something might happen.
After this, both of them instinctively froze.
"Sorry, I just..." Eva was at a loss for words.
She thought Adrian would mind, but he was silent for a while and then said, "Keep the phone with you. Don't worry, your phone has been returned to you, and it won't be taken away by anyone else." Eva was speechless.
She looked at Adrian with some confusion.
Did he really not understand, or was he pretending to be dumb?
"Let's go; let's eat first."
Adrian could sense her unease, but he didn't know what had caused it. Now that it was mealtime and she was hungry, he didn't want to stop and discuss these matters, preferring to have her eat quickly. Eva, of course, did not know his thoughts. If she had anything to say, it would have to wait until after her meal.
After putting on slippers and a coat, Eva followed Adrian to the restaurant downstairs. As they passed the study, she noticed the light was on and stopped in surprise. "Did you use the study?"
Since they were staying in a high-end presidential suite, their hotel room came with complete facilities, including a study.
She remembered the light in the study was off before she entered her room, but now it was on.
This could only mean that Adrian had used the study.
Sure enough, after she asked, the person walking ahead paused slightly before saying, "Yeah, I used it for a little while."
Since it was discovered, denying it would only make her more suspicious.
"A little while?" This description made Eva narrow her eyes warily. "You don't mean from the time I went to sleep until I woke up, do you?"
Adrian didn't know how to respond.
She had hit the nail on the head.
"Adrian, did you work?"
With no choice, Adrian could only sigh inwardly and then say, "I did work, but it was also quite relaxing. I just used the laptop and sat on the chair." He paused, then added as if remembering something, "I didn't move around."
Eva didn't speak; she just pursed her lips and suddenly stepped forward to lift his shirt.
"Let me see your wound."
"Eva."
Adrian clearly did not expect her sudden movement. He stood frozen for a moment, and before he could react, Eva had already lifted his shirt. Realizing what she intended to do, Adrian decided not to stop her. He just stood there and let her check.
As expected, after lifting his shirt, Eva carefully examined his wound, making sure that the bandage was still pristine white and not stained with blood. Luckily, everything was okay, and she sighed in relief. Seeing her like this, Adrian couldn't help but let out a low chuckle and tease her, "Are you that worried about me?"
However, Eva was not in the mood to joke with him; instead, she looked up at him with displeasure.
"How can you even say that? You're injured, and if you took the time to properly rest, you wouldn't even be away from work for a long time. Can't you endure it for just that short period?"
Faced with her questioning, Adrian could only respond helplessly, "I was just dealing with a bit of work, and I didn't move around, did I?"
"Resting and working are not the same thing. Otherwise, why do you think patients are advised to rest? If you work, can that be called resting?" "Alright, alright."
Adrian realized he couldn't win the argument with her, and mainly, he was afraid of her getting angry, so after a few words, he started to concede. "I was wrong, and I promise there won't be a next time."
Given his sincerely apologetic attitude, Eva felt awkward about being angry and could only tease him in return.
"You're always like this; you're quick to apologize, but then you repeat the same mistake."
Adrian wrapped his arms around her waist with a laugh, "I promise I won't do it again."
"I don't believe you."
She realized she had already understood his pattern. The next time she caught him, he would start apologizing and pleading again.
"Well, let's skip this topic. Are you hungry, baby? Shall we go eat? Room service is probably about to arrive."
During the meal, Adrian took good care of her, serving only her favorite foods.
"It's just the two of us. Eat until you don't feel like eating anymore."
As she gazed at the considerate man in front of her, Eva thought again about the Facebook post she had made. Could it be related to him? If it was related, then what should she do?
