Chapter 116
The candy was so sour that made his scalp numb.
Jasper had never eaten anything as sour as this candy in his entire life.
"Haha!" Eden couldn't help laughing when she saw how depressed he was.
Not everyone could endure this sourness.
"Bah, bah!" Jasper couldn't help spitting out the candy. He quickly picked up the beer on the table and took a big sip. He finally felt better.
He raised his eyes and looked as if he was about to cry. He frowned and looked at Eden with discomfort. "Eden, are you still a human? Why do you carry such sour candies with you?"
Eden smiled brilliantly and said naughtily, "This is a small punishment for joking with me. It's a lemon-flavored sour candy. I eat it when I'm working late."
Her words made his heart ache.
He knew that she had been working very hard in the past seven years. In just a few years, she had become the design director. It was all because of ability. He looked at her and suddenly said with distress,
"Idiot, it's not good for your stomach. You can't eat it anymore. If you need a pick-me-up, give me a call. I will accompany you."
Ever since she got over her grief, she'd been working hard. She was highly motivated and perceptive.
In the past few years, they learned from each other and often stayed together. He had a thorough understanding of her.
Eden raised her eyebrow and looked at him. The evening breeze blew her soft hair. Her delicate facial features made her look charming and pretty.
She smiled gently and attractively. "Jasper, you're busy every day. I'm used to it. Besides, every time I eat this candy, I will be immediately excited and more inspired."
"Alas! I have no idea what to do with you." Jasper took a deep breath and looked at her with a distressed face.
"When can you stop being stubborn? Why don't you tell someone when you feel tired or frustrated? Eden, don't push yourself." He was telling the truth. Eden had really had a hard time.
He and his sister felt distressed for her.
Eden smiled gratefully. As a friend, Jasper was really sweet.
"Jasper, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine now. Raising children is hard, but my children have always been very obedient! They have never made me worry. Mom has been taking good care of us. You and Abigail have also helped me a lot. I'm really happy."
These were some of the happiest years of her life.
Hearing this, Jasper smiled helplessly, but his heart ached even more.
He knew her too much.
She hid the pain and hatred she had endured in her heart.
At night, she would cry alone. He had seen it several times, but he could only watch it from afar and silently accompanied her.
He would not leave until she stopped crying and went back to sleep.
Jasper was just about to speak when a waiter came to serve the dishes. He decided to change the subject.
"Eden, try this. It tastes good only when it's hot." Jasper put the seafood porridge in front of her.
"Okay. Thank you." Eden said with a smile.
