After speaking, Eva didn''t want to waste any more time with Vivian. She packed up her things and quickly left the coffee shop.


    Instead of going home, Eva stood on the side of the road, watching the passing cars. The huge stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.


    She couldn''t help but take out her phone and call her father, eager to share with him the news that she had repaid her debt of gratitude. But after ringing for a long time, no one answered on the other end. Eva nced at the time and guessed that her father was probably busy with work, so she didn''t call again.


    For the rest of the day, Eva continued to apany Granny ckwood at the nursing home. Because she had talked about things with Vivian earlier, she was dyed and arrivedter than usual. When she got there, one of caregivers said: "Mrs. ckwood, you''re over half an hourte today. Granny has been waiting for you."


    Hearing this made Eva feel guilty. "I''m sorry I was held up by something on my way here."


    "That''s alright,” replied the caregiver. "Please go inside now."


    "Okay."


    Eva quickened her pace and soon arrived outside Granny ckwood''s room. It seemed like all caregivers were gone as only Granny ckwood herself remained inside staring nkly at a photo in hand from afar. Although Eva could only see Granny ckwood''s profile from a distance away, she could still sense heavy sadness emanating from Granny ckwood.


    "Granny..." called out Eva softly as she walked into room.


    Hearing footsteps approaching, Granny ckwood snapped back into reality and looked towards Eva without showing any emotion on face. "Eva, you''re here," said Granny ckwood


    Feeling apologetic, Eva exined: "Sorry grandma, I was held up by something on my way here. If I''m everte again, I''ll call ahead of time."


    "Silly Eva, how long could grandma wait for you? It doesn''t matter if you''re a littlete or early. There''s nothing much to do in the nursing home anyway,” replied Granny ckwood.


    "But that''s not right." Eva shook her head and squatted down with her head resting on Granny ckwood''sp as she coquettishly said: "I want to tell Grandma at least when I''ming over so that Grandma knows while waiting for me."


    "You little rascal..." Granny ckwood was touched by her soft voice and reached out to tidy up the hair strands on Eva''s forehead while asking: "Then why don''t you tell grandma what happened along your way here?"


    Eva paused for a moment before smiling and saying: "It''s just work-rted stuff. Boring things that grandma shouldn''t listen to. How about instead, Grandma tells me one of your stories?"


    After speaking, Eva reached out and touched the photo in Granny ckwood''s hand: "For example, the story behind this photo."


    Granny ckwood hesitated for a moment before lightly tapping Eva''s fair forehead.


    "You clever girl..."


    "Um." Eva hummed softly as she leaned forward with her forehead against Granny ckwood''s palm, "I want to hear grandma''s story."


    "Alright then, I''ll tell you one."


    At noon, Eva received a message from Adrian asking where she was.


    Eva replied briefly: "Nursing home."


    Not long after sending the message, Adrian responded: "I''lle over during lunchtime too."


    Surprised, Eva asked: "Isn''t yourpany busy?"


    Adrian answered back: "Yes, it is, but I''ll make time since it''s important."


    There wasn''t anything else left for Eva to say. She felt grateful towards him for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit his own grandmother at the nursing home. The meeting finally ended.


    After experiencing several hours of Adrian''s sharp-tongued executives in the conference room, everyone walked out with pale faces and looked at each other with heavy hearts.


    Then they shook their heads at each other, sighed softly and left.


    Adrian adjusted his tie and raised his hand to check his watch.


    It was time. He should go to the care home now.


    Adrian walked out of the conference room expressionlessly.


    A graceful figure dressed in white dress and long hair stopped him on the way.


    "Adrian."


    The woman''s voice was soft and clear, attracting the attention of all high-level executives around them.


    Adrian paused for a moment when he saw Vivian holding a insted food container walking towards him.


    Seeing her, there was a touch of warmth in Adrian''s originally cold eyes before he approached her. "Why are you here?"


    Because other high-level executives were still around, Vivian looked shy as she spoke softly: "You''ve been busytely and I don''t think you''ve had anything decent to eat. So, I personally cooked some dishes that you like." Hearing this, people nearby sighed emotionally while looking on curiously.


    "Mr. ckwood is really lucky today."


    "Yes indeed! Mr. ckwood is living it up!"


    Originally intended to tter Adrian but who knew that after they finished speaking, Adrian directly pulled down his face and gave them an icy re which made them feel intimidated instantly before leaving awkwardly without saying another word.


    Standing in front of him, Vivian felt startled by Adrian''s sudden anger. She lifted her head to look at him wondering what went wrong? Those people didn''t say anything wrong, did they?


    But it seemed that Adrian didn''t like those people making jokes about himself or between themselves?


    Most importantly, Vivian suddenly felt embarrassed being pped across her face by Adrian in front of thepany''s high-level executives. She thought she was special, so she dared to wait for him at this time.


    And she also had a little selfishness, which was to dere her sovereignty in front of hispany people.


    Let everyone know that she is the future mistress of this group and not Eva.


    But unexpectedly Adrian suddenly got angry...


    "Adrian, what''s wrong with you?"


    Hearing this, Adrian paused and came back to his senses feeling somewhat dazed.


    Actually, he didn''t know what happened just now. He just couldn''t help getting angry for a moment.


    At this moment, he was extremely upset. He pursed his lips and asked: "It''s nothing. What did youe here for today?"


    Vivian: "..."


    She clearly exined it earlier but how could he forget so quickly?


    Vivian awkwardly repeated what she said earlier.


    However, Adrian still seemed absent-minded while listening. After Vivian finished speaking, he frowned and said: "Thank you for your trouble, Vivian, but I have something to do today, and I need to go out." After speaking, he turned around and instructed his assistant beside him: "I''ll have someone send you back first."
