Chapter 22 — Tell Me One Thing, Adrian

Author: Olivia GW
last update Last Updated: 2025-12-17 19:02:20
Evelyn's POV

I was sitting on the bench right outside of the clinic I got checked up at, clinging onto the results of my medical examination as my thoughts ran at a million miles a second. The paper felt like a heavy weight, especially after listening to Jason recount that night between Adrian and Bianca…

God, it felt like I was going to be sick.

I truly wanted to give Adrian the benefit of a doubt. But my problem was that it was mostly just *doubt* that was settling its ugly weight onto my chest.

Still, after what he had done for me and after what he'd said before… I knew that I couldn't just listen to another man's words over my own husband's.

There was another side to this story. There had to be. Otherwise, I didn't think my mental health could take it.

I steeled my resolve and took a deep breath. Whatever happened between them, that had to have been in the past now.

It was me that Adrian chose to marry.

It was me that Adrian truly loved.

Now he needed to know about this pregnancy.

    Evelyn's POV"Why would you— I… I don't understand." Adrian looked at me like I had slapped him across the face. "Why would you ask me that? Why would you even *think* that?" He asked as confusion, shock, and hurt contorted his features."Because I'm tired, Adrian." I sighed with exhaustion. "I'm tired of this runaround you have going on with Bianca, and how I can't seem to get a straight answer from you about your relationship with her.""Eve, I told you nothing's going on—""I already heard what you said to her back at the clinic." I interrupted. "I was the convenient, practical choice. I ticked off those "neat little boxes" for your family. I'm quiet, obedient." I laughed at those words."My point is… I understand what it means to you to make calculated moves. You're a CEO, a business man. I get it." I continued. "But that's not what a marriage should be. A marriage shouldn't just be what's the most optimal or efficient choice, because then at that point you're just looking at it li

    Evelyn's POV"I just got off the phone with Mr. Langston," the doctor explained. "But as per your instructions, I made sure to withhold your pregnancy results from him. It's a good thing your call came through first, too."
I breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Dr. Wilson.""Of course. You have a good day, Mrs. Langston." Then he hung up the phone.Mila looked at me with questioning eyes. "So… What are you thinking now?""I don't know. I mean, I won't be able to hide this from him forever. I'm going to start showing eventually. I just… I just hope that maybe he'll come around.""I guess that's all you really can hope for, huh?" Mila leaned her head on my shoulder. "Well, you know I'm here for you no matter what.""That's why you're my BEST friend." I smiled as I leaned my head on hers. "I appreciate it, really.""Of course. Will you go back home tonight?""Probably not. Adrian will probably be too busy catering to Bianca's to care that I'm gone anyway.""Pathetic." Mila scoffed. "Wel

    Evelyn's POV"If you're busy, then I don't want to bother you..." I sighed into the phone. "I just can't be alone right now, Mila. I don't know what to do!" "You're my best friend; you're never bothering me," Mila replied in a sympathetic voice. "Give me like... 15 minutes. I'll be home by then." "But aren't you at work? What about—" "Girl, they'll be fine. My bestie needs me. That's more important!" That alone was enough to send me into another crying fit. That was why Mila was my best friend through and through. She was always so fiercely loyal and protective of me. That hadn't changed since high school. It felt nice to have someone like her in my corner now that it seemed like my own husband would rather be in someone else's. Mila came home some 15 minutes later with some Chinese takeout and boba. "Alright, friend. Spill. Tell me EVERYTHING! What happened between you and Adrian? Wait, pause—did you tell him about your pregnancy?" I took a bite out of my food and shook my head

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 21 —Why You Married Me

    Adrian's POVThe guilt from leaving Eve by herself at her appointment was eating me alive, but I had no choice.I needed to make sure Bianca was okay. Now that she was pregnant, I had to take her health seriously. The last thing she needed was for her to lose this little bundle of joy.Plus, Eve seemed okay before I left. If anything, it almost seemed like she was… giddy? Like she had something she wanted to tell me.I shook my head. Maybe that was just part of the guilt eating at me. What could've been exciting about a simple examination anyway?I told myself that I would just wait on Eve's text, and hopefully that would put my shame of leaving her to rest. I knew that she was disappointed in me leaving, but I would make it up to her again.For now, I had other matters to focus on.Once I got to the women's clinic where Bianca was having her appointment at, I was promptly escorted to her room. As soon as I walked through the door, I saw Bianca laying on the examination bed that had be

    Evelyn's POVMy heart dropped. "B-but, Adrian, I-I—"Before I could even string along a coherent sentence in protest, Adrian was already walking away. My heart shattered. And just like that, most of the tension that had washed away from the few acts of kindness suddenly tightened itself around me like an anaconda would its prey.I didn't know what to do.My resolve crumbled just as quickly as I had built it."Miss Evelyn?"My head snapped in the direction of the voice that called me, and at the doorway, I saw the nurse who had examined me earlier."I have your results if you'll come with me, ma'am."I nodded my head and forced my feet to carry me forward; despite it feeling like someone had tied cement blocks to them."Will your husband not be accompanying us?" The nurse asked innocently.I shook my head and tried not to break down on the spot. "N-no. An emergency came up at work, so he had to leave immediately.""Oh, that's unfortunate. I'm sure he would've loved to have known about t
