"Yes, Granny."


    In order not to arouse Granny''s suspicion, Eva had toe up with something to say.


    "I never liked fish when I was little. I thought it was something good. But when I tried it once, I ended up throwing up severely. So when I smelled it today, I immediately felt uneasy."


    Upon hearing this, Granny ckwood''s thoughtful expression disappeared as expected.


    She threw up after eating it when she was little? It seemed normal to have a trauma from it when she grew up. However, she still worried, "Are you sure there''s nothing wrong? Should we go to the hospital for a check-up?"


    "No thanks, Granny. I''m fine now. Do I look like something''s wrong with me?"


    Granny ckwood looked her thoroughly, noticing that she had indeed returned to normal.


    Eva seemed fine, so Granny couldn''t help but reach out and pinch Eva''s soft cheek. "You naughty girl, why didn''t you tell me earlier that you don''t like fish?"


    "Mm." Eva coquettishly murmured, "It''s something you like to drink, so I wanted to give it a try. Maybe I don''t throw up after eating it now that I''m grown up? Who knows... I''m sorry, Granny. I''ll make sure to tell you in advance next time if I don''t like something, so I won''t scare you like I did today."


    "Alright, alright, you little troublemaker. Are you hungry? Go eat something."


    "Okay, I want sweet porridge."


    "I''ll have the servant make it for you."


    "Okay."


    Afterwards, Eva got up and prepared to push Granny ckwood back. Vivian, who was beside her, softly said, "Eva, let me help. You vomited earlier, so you probably don''t have much strength right now."


    Eva nced at her and knew she wanted to impress Granny, so she didn''t refuse.


    While Vivian pushed Granny ckwood away, Eva was about to follow when she heard a deep voice behind her.


    "You threw up after eating fish when you were little?"


    Only then did Eva realize that Adrian had somehowe up behind her.


    She turned her head and saw Adrian staring at her sharply, "Why have I never heard you mention this before?"


    His gaze made Eva feel a bit guilty, so she averted her eyes and didn''t look at him.


    "Why would I tell you such embarrassing things?"


    After hearing that, Adrian chuckled, "I''ve seen all your embarrassing things since you were a child. Why do you feel embarrassed now?"


    They had known each other since they were children, and Adrian had even seen her with milk teeth, speaking with a lisp. Not to mention everything else.


    Eva listened in a daze. Yes, she and Adrian had known each other since they were little, and they were so familiar with each other.


    She even thought that even if Vivian hadn''t saved him, Adrian probably wouldn''t have any special feelings for her.


    Because they were too familiar with each other. He had seen her in all kinds of terrible situations. How could any romantic feelings develop in such circumstances?


    But even so, Eva remained stubborn, "You haven''t seen everything."


    After saying that, Eva no longer paid him any attention and walked straight ahead. Adrian stood still, watching her figure disappear.


    After pondering for a moment, he followed along.


    After that, Eva didn''t touch greasy food anymore, trying to eat light, fearing that she would reveal any traces of it. And Adrian noticed that.


    After breakfast, Eva suggested taking Granny ckwood out for a walk, and Vivian said she wanted to go as well.


    So the two of them followed Granny ckwood out together.


    Adrian originally wanted to go with them, but a work call stopped him, so he could only tell them not to stay out for too long.


    The butler immediately offered, "Sir, let me follow them from behind. There shouldn''t be any problems, just going for a walk nearby."


    "Hmm." Adrian nodded. "Take good care of them."


    Granny ckwood hadn''t left the nursing home for a long time, so being outside, under the sun, felt morefortable than in the nursing home garden. Looking at the people passing by on the vi district roads, as well as the renovations of the vis, she found it all quite fascinating.


    Eva followed behind, watching Vivian push Granny ckwood, smiling and chatting with her, patient and gentle.


    It must be said that Vivian was very good at ying the gentle and amiable role, and she knew how to cheer Granny ckwood up.


    Throughout the morning, Vivian made Granny ckwoodugh heartily several times.


    It''s almost eleven o''clock. Granny ckwood finally felt tired. Seeing this, Vivian whispered, "Granny ckwood, are you tired? Shall we go back and rest? It''s already noon, and if you want toe out and y, I cane to apany you tomorrow."


    Granny ckwood was indeed tired and nodded in response.


    Then Vivian pushed Granny ckwood forward, Eva strolled behind, and the butler slowed down his pace as well.


    "Madam." He called out to Eva.


    Eva looked at him in confusion. "Jack, what''s wrong?"


    Seeing that she still looked puzzled, Jack couldn''t help feeling frustrated, but he lowered his voice and said, "Madam, you should be more proactive."


    "Hmm?"


    At first, Eva didn''t quite understand what the butler meant by being more proactive, but she realizedter and smiled faintly.


    "As long as Granny ckwood is happy."


    Upon hearing this, Jack frowned in disagreement. "If you apany Granny ckwood, she will also be happy, and since you are the daughter-inw, she will be even happier."


    Eva looked at Jack with surprise, seeing his indignation and frustration in his eyes.


    Seeing that she remained calm, Jack continued, "Madam, you can''t be so passive. She originally cared about the ckwood family, and now she''s making an effort to please the olddy. If you continue like this, she''ll-" "gradually take your position."


    Gradually take her position?


    Eva mocked herself silently in her heart. The position of the ckwood family''s second wife had never belonged to her, so how could it be said that it would be taken away?


    ording to the agreement of their fake marriage, that position had never belonged to her.


    However, to outsiders, she was Mrs. ckwood, but she herself knew very well what she truly was.


    The butler tried to persuade her a few times, but he found that Eva''s expression remained calm, without any ripples caused by his words, nor any anxiety or impatience. Could it be that Mr. and Mrs. are really getting divorced?


    Jack actually liked Eva very much. She had no airs and treated people sincerely.


    As for that Vivian, even though she was Mr. ckwood''s benefactor, a benefactor was just a benefactor. How could Mr. ckwood mix it with emotions?


    If a life-saving grace was to be rted to emotions, then who would dare to help others in the future, and who would dare to be helped easily?


    Moreover, Jack could also see that Adrian did have feelings for Eva, but it was always hindered by this life-saving grace, making it truly iprehensible. And then there was Vivian...


    If she really had intentions towards Mr. ckwood, then why did she leave two years ago? And why did she back now?


    He really couldn''t understand the young people of today anymore.
