For a moment, Eva was stumped by Pa''s counter-question and sat there dumbfounded.


    Pa gently sniffed her nose, probably feeling embarrassed because someone knew about her boyfriend, her eyes slightly reddened.


    "Eva, even though I didn''t know you before and I don''t like to gossip, I have heard some rumors recently."


    "You are not the only one around him. Can you even manage your own matters?"


    Upon hearing this, Eva finally understood what Pa meant.


    "So you think that because I can''t handle my own affairs, I don''t have the right to tell you about this, right?"


    That was more or less what Pa originally meant.


    Because she believed Eva hadn''t handled her emotions well, and Adrian had other people around him as well, she hadn''t made any decisions either. Of course, she knew that marriages in prestigious families weren''t always up to one''s own desires.


    So if she couldn''t do anything about her own situation, why should shee and try to control it?


    But when Eva said it out loud, Pa felt that she might have been a bit too harsh.


    After all, she was just afraid that Eva wasn''t aware, so she kindly reminded her.


    Thinking this, Pa could only shake her head.


    "That''s not what I meant, Eva, I''m sorry... I just thought..."


    Couldn''t even exin what she thought, Pa herself.


    Seeing her incoherence, Eva probably understood what she meant.


    "Alright, you don''t have to say it anymore, I didn''t me you."


    Pa bit her lip. "Eva, I''m sorry, did my words hurt you?"


    Looking at the girl in front of her, Eva hesitated on whether or not to tell her about her impending divorce, when her phone suddenly rang.


    Eva nced at it, it was a call from Michael.


    At a time like this...


    "Is it an important call? If so, go ahead and answer it."


    Seeing her pitiful appearance, it seemed that she had to take the call, so Eva nodded.


    "Alright, I''ll answer the call first."


    After saying that, Eva went out to answer the phone, leaving Pa alone to contemte. "Hello?"


    Eva had already picked up Michael''s call outside.


    "Eve."


    Even through the phone, Michael''s voice was warm and soothing, like a gentle flowing stream. His voice was pleasant to listen to, whether in person or on the phone.


    Eva had always known this, but even so, when she heard him call her "Eve," she still felt strange and couldn''t fully ept it.


    After all, throughout her life, only two people had called her that.


    Her father and Adrian.


    Adrian always knew her nickname, but he didn''t call her that often, only in certain moments.


    "How have you beentely?" Michael''s voice carried a light smile. "After going back, you weren''t discovered, right?"


    He was asking about her pregnancy.


    And so, Eva''s thoughts were quickly interrupted and returned to this matter.


    "No, I wasn''t."


    "That''s good. If there''s anything you need help with, don''t hesitate to let me know."


    "There''s really nothing to help with..."


    After all, what could a guy like him do to help with this kind of thing?


    "Alright." Michael didn''t say anything else and quickly changed the topic.


    "Didn''t I mentionst time that I can help you? How about we meet and talk?" Meet at this time?


    Eva thought for a moment and shook her head.


    "Today is not convenient."


    "It''s okay, you decide on the time, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is fine."


    Eva thought for a moment and then said, "Let''s meet in two days."


    She was indeed caught in a dilemma.


    "Okay." Michael quickly agreed.


    After hanging up the phone, Eva returned to the store.


    Pa seemed to have made up her mind. When she saw Evaing in, she didn''t avoid her anymore. Instead, she looked into her eyes and said, "Eva, regarding what you said, I want to think about it myself." Upon hearing this, Eva''s steps slightly paused, and after a moment, she asked, "Are you unwilling to give him up?"


    Pa smiled bitterly.


    "Are you willing to give up Mr. ckwood? I think you can understand my feelings the most now. We are in a simr situation."


    She was referring to both of them being pregnant and the men having another woman by their side.


    Upon hearing this, Eva smiled and said softly, "Do you think our situations are the same?"


    "Isn''t it?"


    "That''s true, on the surface, the situations seem simr. But have you ever thought about our age difference?"


    Upon hearing this, Pa fell into a momentary daze, and then anxiously bit her lower lip. "Eva."


    Looking at Pa at this moment, Eva sighed lightly.


    "You still have a bright future ahead of you. Don''t be lost in certain things. I''ve said everything I can for today, and it''s gettingte. You should go back first, otherwise your mother will be worried." Pa could only nod, and then she got up to leave.


    When Pa reached the door of the store, she suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look at Eva. After a brief silence, she quickly walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Eva, I have a few questions I want to ask you." Eva replied, "Go ahead."


    "Will you give birth to the child?"


    Looking at the sincere face in front of her, Eva gently pressed her red lips together.


    After a moment, she nodded gently.


    "Yes."


    Upon hearing this, the young girl seemed surprised that Eva actually answered her. She took a deep breath and asked the question she had always wanted to ask. "Then... will you divorce Mr. ckwood? Or..."


    Although the situation had not yet urred, it was not something that should be discussed. But looking at the young girl in front of her, Eva decided to trust her once. After all, she came to find her.


    With this in mind, Eva nodded.


    "Yes."


    Her two answers were both more determined than the previous one.


    "I will give birth to the child and raise it on my own." Eva''s voice was gentle, and her gaze fell on the surprised face of the young girl upon hearing her decision. "This is just my personal decision, we are different, you don''t have to follow my path." Originally, Pa thought that Eva had not left Adrian until now because she didn''t have such intentions at all.


    But through these two questions, Pa saw from Eva''s determination that she must have nned this for a long time.


    Well, it wasn''t something I just started thinking about these past few days. She had already made up her mind, but I stupidly thought she couldn''t let go like me.


    Realizing this, Pa suddenly became aware of how ridiculous she had been before.


    She lowered her eyelids and said softly, "Thank you, I know what to do now."


    Eva nodded.


    "Okay."


    This time, the little girl turned around without hesitation and quickly left.


    Eva thought, perhaps her decision had influenced her.


    But regardless, she still hoped that Pa wouldn''t be blinded by emotions and could find relief and move on.
