She doesn't belong with me.
It would be too hasty to sentence Eve to death based on just a few photos. Adam didn't know what had happened, but he was sure that Phillips wouldn't hurt Eve. The smile on his face was so bright, and when he interlocked his fingers with Eve's, his expression softened.
If he didn't really like her, he wouldn't have shown such an expression. With this, Adam's heart was finally at ease. At least, Eve was safe.
As for Eve, seeing her calm expression and not the slightest hint of rejection, if she really hated Phillips, she would have run away no matter what. Thinking about it, she must have willingly stayed by Phillips's side, so there was no need for him to send people after her.
At the end of the day, there was no special relationship between them. He had been paying too much attention to Eve recently. Perhaps Eve's departure would be beneficial to both of them.
Being able to stay by the side of the person who liked her was better than guarding a hopeless love.
"Eh? Why are you alone? Where's Eve?" Adam and Freya bumped into each other. Freya was surprised to see that Eve wasn't following behind him. Could it be that the two of them were still fighting?
She knew that Eve wasn't a willful girl. If she was really angry, Adam must have done something overboard.
So Freya asked again, "You two haven't made up yet?"
Adam was stunned for a moment before he recovered and smiled faintly, "No, we didn't quarrel. It's just that I've already left her somewhere else. We probably won't be able to see each other for a long time."
Adam didn't want Freya to know that Eve had left with Phillips. He even ordered those who knew about it to keep it a secret. If she was with Phillips, it would mean that they were enemies. However, he didn't want these people to be enemies with Eve.
"Transferred to another city? Why so sudden? " Freya frowned. "Adam, you should know that Eve loves you. Her only wish is to stay by your side. Why do you have to destroy her only hope? Bring her back now! "
"This is her own will. I'm just respecting her choice."
"Her own will? How is that possible? " Freya didn't believe it at all. She even thought that this was just Adam's excuse. "No matter what her past is, she truly loves you. I don't think you should treat her like this!"
"Princess, I didn't mean to lie to you."
"Then why did she leave just like that?" Freya had always been paying attention to Eve. That girl had hidden her deep love for Adam. If nothing had happened, she would never have left him so suddenly. There must be some unresolved conflict between the two.
Otherwise, why would Adam's expression be so lonely? Others couldn't see it, but he couldn't hide it from her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "If you can't say it, then I'll say it for you. You don't have to use such a lame excuse to lie to me."
"There's really no need." Adam shook his head. He pulled his lips into a smile and slightly lowered his head. His golden hair covered his expression, "I don't have any relationship with Eve. She requested to be transferred to another city and I just agreed. You don't have to think too much about it."
"Adam, Eve is a good girl and she loves you deeply."
"But I can't give her what she wants. I just want to protect Lilith for the rest of my life. As for anything else, I don't want to think too much about it." His responsibility was to protect Lilith for the rest of his life. He didn't have the mind to think about anything else.
Hearing this, Freya secretly cursed him for being a blockhead. Who would have thought that Adam would be so stubborn?
"Then what about yourself? Lilith has He Shaochen and two adorable children. Don't you think about your own happiness? "
"If Lilith is happy, then I'll be very happy. I've long been prepared to dedicate my life to Lilith and the Little Highness."
Damn the spirit of chivalry!
Thinking of this, Freya couldn't help but blame her husband, Rowino. Why did he have to instill the spirit of chivalry in a young child who had always deified him? Adam was rather autistic when he was young. He was taciturn and didn't trust anyone. Although he had beautiful facial features, because of his personality, no one wanted to adopt him. The people in the orphanage didn't benefit from him and naturally, their attitude wasn't any better. This intensified Adam's distrust of others.
This situation was only alleviated after Rowino adopted him. Later on, the person Adam trusted the most was Rowino. Even if Rowino asked him to die, Freya didn't doubt that Adam would send himself to his death. Rowino was his sky and his words were his oracle to Adam.
Therefore, when Rowino asked Adam to protect Qiao Qiao, Adam decided to protect Qiao Qiao for the rest of his life.
Even if Rowino was dead, he would still abide by their agreement.
But, how could he really give up his own happiness to protect someone else? Wouldn't that be a fool? Moreover, this was unfair to Eve who had been silently waiting for him.
"Then what about Eve?"
Adam faltered slightly before opening his mouth, and a hint of bitterness appeared in his voice as he said, "I believe that Eve will also find her own happiness, but her happiness will definitely not be with me."
"How can that be?"
Freya was furious at Adam's negative attitude and was about to refute, but Adam didn't want to continue this topic, "Princess, thank you for your concern for me. As for Eve …"
He paused and a faint bitter smile appeared on his lips, "Eve's matter, let's end it here. I won't have a relationship with her that goes beyond friendship. Please don't matchmake for us. If there's nothing else, I'll go find Lilith first."
With that, Adam nodded respectfully to Freya and left.
Freya looked worriedly at Adam's departing figure and felt a little bleak. She couldn't do anything but watch him stubbornly go on his own way. After all, love was a matter between two people and no one else could interfere. If even the person involved didn't care about this matter, then it was useless for her as an outsider to worry.
But, this was too much of a pity.
Eve loved Adam so much and was willing to wait for him. As long as Adam took a step forward, the two of them would most likely succeed. Who knew that things would turn out like this?
The happiness that was clearly in his hands was actually abandoned just like that.
Really.
