Whenever Adrian was mentioned, Eva couldn''t help but think of the scene she saw outside the barst night. Where is he?


    Of course, Vivian had taken him back.


    As for what happenedst night and what they did, it was clear to Eva that it wouldn''t be revealed in front of Granny ckwood anytime soon. She felt angry about it but couldn''t express her feelings in front of her. So, she came up with an excuse for Adrian that would not easily be found out.


    "He stayed uptest night and can''t get up today."


    After saying this, Eva suddenly realized that what she said was actually true. He did stay upte, but no one knew what he did during that time.


    Seeing her good-natured appearance, Granny ckwood sighed. "Only you can tolerate his personality."


    Eva replied softly, "No way."


    She didn''t want to talk about this topic anymore so she suggested taking Granny ckwood for a walk in the garden instead. The olddy agreed.


    The caregiver brought over a wheelchair and helped Granny ckwood onto it. Actually, her leg problem wasn''t serious; she just couldn''t walk long distances and could only take a few steps inside the room before feeling tired. Once seated on the wheelchair, Eva opened the cab door and skillfully took out a thick shawl and nket to cover Granny ckwoodpletely before pushing her outside.


    Granny ckwood snuggled into the furry shawl contentedly and eximed, "This material is reallyfortable! I remember when I was much younger, I used to find this kind of fabric too heavy. Now I like it very much, unfortunately I''m not young anymore."


    Eva sensed some regret in her tone so she quicklyforted her by saying, "Grandma, I think you are more suitable for this kind of fabric now. It matches the traditional dress tailored for you perfectly and makes you look stunningly beautiful. Your beauty and temperament have always been something I admire very much."


    This was the truth.


    All women in the ckwood family were extremely beautiful, including Granny ckwood and her mother-inw.


    The way men from the ckwood family looked at women was quite vicious.


    Eva couldn''t help but add, "Grandma, do you know that when I attended a banquet as a child, I saw you standing next to my mother and thought you two were sisters?"


    At the time she was still young. Seeing these two people standing together with their exquisite features and smooth faces without any wrinkles made them look like an elegant pair of sisters.


    Granny ckwood chuckled at this remark, feeling happy inside. "You are so sweet and say such nice things! You''ve convinced me that I''m not old anymore."


    As soon as she finished speaking, Eva bent down to hug Granny ckwood around her shoulders with both of her hands.


    "Grandma, you''re not old at all. Eva really likes you."


    Granny ckwood had always been very kind to her. And Eva liked her very much too - not because of Adrian or because she became a member of the ckwood family through marriage - but because Granny ckwood had treated her exceptionally well since she was just a little girl.


    Because her own grandmother passed away early on in life and she didn''t have a mother either; Granny ckwood''s love for her felt like it filled up some voids in her heart.


    It felt like...she had found another real grandma again even if one day she would divorce Adrian...


    At this thought, Eva hugged Granny ckwood tighter and said, "You will always be my dear grandmother."


    As they approached the exit, a man walked towards them. He was tall and slender with handsome features but his eyes were cold. When Eva saw him, she stopped in her tracks. "Adrian?" Granny ckwood was clearly surprised to see him here.


    "Grandmother," Adrian called out in a deep voice. His voice had a hint of sexy mncholy to it.


    Eva snorted softly under her breath, almost imperceptibly. But Adrian seemed to have caught on as he looked at her with heavy eyes.


    "What''s going on? Eva said you couldn''t get up because of me. I thought you weren''ting today," Granny ckwood asked Adrian.


    Adrian didn''t expect that Eva woulde up with such an excuse for him. He pursed his lips before using a conciliatory tone towards Granny ckwood and said, "Even if I had stayed up all night, I still muste see my grandmother." "You smooth talker," Granny ckwood yfully threw an insult at him but couldn''t hide the pleased smile on her face.


    Afterwards, Adrian walked over to Eva and said, "Let me push." As he pushing her wheelchair, Eva smelled the fresh scent of soap emanating from his clothes which were neatly pressed unlike yesterday''s outfit where he wore a ck shirt that wasn''t ironed properly - she could guess who did it for him after spending time with someone like Vivian.


    As she pondered this thought process in silence while watching Adrian approach close enough that his hand was about tond on the wheelchair handlebars; she instinctively withdrew her hand and quickly took two steps back away from him as if he were some kinds of ferocious beast or floodwater rushing towards her. Adrian''s natural movement froze in ce. A few secondster, his handsome face turned cold and he exuded a chilly aura. Originally, Adrian had softened up quite a bit after hearing John''s spections but now he realized that he was overthinking things.


    "What''s wrong?" Granny ckwood asked curiously when she saw Adrian standing still for so long.


    Adrian snapped out of his thoughts and curled his lips before saying, "Nothing grandmother, let''s go."


    Then Adrian pushed Granny ckwood towards the garden with Eva following behind them. Usually when they apanied Granny ckwood to the garden, it was either Adrian pushing her wheelchair while Eva held onto his arm or tugged at his clothes like a little tail. But today, Eva kept her distance from Adrian as if they were strangers instead of husband and wife causing Adrian''s expression to be increasingly sour and cold. Suddenly, he stopped walking altogether. "Grandmother, I need to send a message," he said.


    Granny ckwood didn''t think anything was amiss and nodded her head in agreement. Then Adrian took out his phone and began typing on the screen while Eva watched him emotionlessly - probably sending another message to Vivian already? They had only just left each other not too long ago yet here he is unable to bear being apart from her already?


    Eva couldn''t control herself any longer as she felt an acidic sensation bubble up inside of her chest upon seeing the notification pop up on her own phone which read: "Are you trying to make my grandmother suspicious by keeping your distance?" sent by none other than Adrian himself."
