Meeting You Was Fate

"Thank you, Aunt Fiona! I love it so much!" Adrian said happily as he held his latest toy car.
At the sight of this, Nacy pretended to be jealous. She had bought Adrian many toy cars since he was an infant. Why was he so
obsessed with the toy car Fiona brought?
"Adrian, I've bought a lot of toys for you, too! I've never seen you react like this to any of my gifts!" Nacy teased as she pouted
her lips and looked at the cute expression on Adrian's face. She thought he was adorable, but she continued pretending to be
angry.
Of course, Nacy wasn't really jealous, and she only intended to lighten the mood in the hospital ward.
"Aunt Nacy, I love you the most," Adrian exclaimed, still holding the toy car in his arms, and fixing his innocent eyes on Nacy. He
looked so cute.
When Nathan and Mandy entered the ward and saw this scene, they both grimaced. Both of them had cold and indifferent
personalities, so they had no idea where Adrian had developed this habit of 'playing the innocent girl' in front of adults.
"Why are you looking at me? I had no habit of 'playing the innocent girl' when I was young," Nathan teased when he saw Mandy
give him a meaningful smile.
"Daddy, what does 'playing the innocent girl' mean?" Adrian suddenly asked in a serious tone. He had overheard their
conversation.
The corner of Nathan's mouth twitched, and his handsome face became serious. "Adrian, when a boy is 'playing the girl, ' it
means he becomes as lovely as your mother!" he joked.
"I see! If that's the case, I'm willing to 'play the girl' every day!" Adrian nodded enthusiastically.
Hearing what Nathan said shocked Mandy. "Really?" she said with a ferocious look, "How come I don't find him as lovely when
he was playing the girl? Look at him carefully. He resembles you in all aspects!"
Mandy was confused whenever she thought about Adrian's personality and character. Adrian was a mini version of Nathan. They
looked so similar, but their personalities couldn't have been any more different.
"Ha-ha..." Nacy suddenly laughed, holding her belly and trembling with laughter. "I agree! Adrian's a carbon copy of Nathan! Ha-
ha!"

"He really is a carbon copy of his father, isn't he? Ha-ha," Mandy laughed.
"Oh, Nacy is on your side!"
Nathan joked to Mandy, laughing. It suddenly dawned on him that Nacy cared deeply for Mandy and Adrian.
Meanwhile, Eve was lying in the lounge in a light blue cheongsam with her eyes closed. The breeze was blowing softly.
Ever since Eve took Adrian away in private without telling Nathan, he had been indifferent to her. Eve wasn't concerned about
this. She had injected the poisonous liquid into Adrian's body over a month ago. In the span of thirty days, the bacteria had
begun to circulate in his body. He would die in three months!
Eve was elated by the thought. Deep in her heart, she harbored an intense hatred for Mandy and Adrian. However, she couldn't
tell which one she hated more. Perhaps she hated them equally. Adrian was Mandy's son, and she thought she must poison him
to release her anger at Mandy.
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Lazily, she put on her pair of slippers and shouted, "Norma, open the door quickly!"
Norma was a maid in Eve's villa. Eve had moved out of the Su Family's residence a year ago and now lived alone in a villa,
which was gifted to her by Shaun and was worth more than fifty million dollars. The villa was surrounded by hills on one side,
and waters on the other, making it very suitable for living.
Hearing no response from Norma, Eve suddenly recalled that she was out shopping for groceries. The doorbell continued to ring,
and she had no choice but to open the door herself.
Eve put on a shawl. She hadn't expected that Colin would come to visit her now. Standing by the door, she saw the anger on his
face.
"Why are you here?" Eve asked coldly. She placed her arm across the door frame, not wanting to let Colin enter.
"I came here to see you. Don't be nervous!" Colin pursed his lips and smiled coldly. The expression on his face gave her goose
bumps.
Eve's heart skipped a beat at his greeting. She had no idea why he was suddenly visiting her of his own volition. The two of them
had cooperated secretly, seldom meeting in person. They only contacted each other with unidentified cell phone numbers. Once
they had the chance, they would change their numbers to keep their contact hidden.

"This is my home! It's bad for me to be seen with you! If it's something urgent, we should just talk on the phone," Eve said as she
frowned. Seeing the evil look on Colin's face, she didn't dare let him into her villa.
"This is something special! I can't explain it clearly on the phone, so I thought it would be better to talk about it face to face!"
Colin frowned and spoke with a faint smile.
"Nothing is too difficult to explain over the phone. You can leave now!" Eve declined politely. Deep in her heart, she felt very
uneasy. Had Colin found out about it already?
"Eve, this is something we have to discuss face to face. Do you understand?" Colin suddenly moved closer to her. At his sudden
proximity, Eve instinctively stepped back.
"What's the matter? Tell me now!" Eve relented.
"Did you do it?" Colin questioned. His eyes and voice were as cold as ice.
Under his cold gaze, Eve suddenly felt uncomfortable. She found a place to sit and leaned back on the sofa. She felt her legs go
weak. With a cold sweat on her back, she realized what Colin had meant; however, she was not careless enough to admit to it.
Eve and Colin were merely using one another. Deep down, they didn't trust each other. They would never become good friends
in case their plans would fail. They were both independent, and neither of them would give in unless there was something in it for
the other.
"What do you mean? I don't know what you're talking about. Why are you so angry?" Eve asked innocently as she picked up her
teacup and took a sip of her tea. She felt guilty inside but put on an air of nonchalance.
