Chapter 1895
Victor took Eden out for dinner that night. Eden was in a bad mood, so he asked the stuff in Marriott Hotel to prepare a candlelight dinner. After work, Victor brought Eden there.
As soon as Eden entered the room, she felt so good because of the romantic atmosphere.
Victor had been observing Eden's expression. Seeing her smile, he grinned as well.
"Honey, do you like it? We're too busy, so we seldom have candlelight dinner." Victor took her hand and sat down, wiping her hands with a hot towel.
His actions were very gentle, and his big hand made her feel very warm.
Eden looked at him with a smile. No matter what kind of grievances she had suffered, as soon as she turned around, he would give her the best warmth. No matter how strong a woman was, she wanted a reliable embrace.
The candlelight in the room was lovely. They looked at each other with deep affection, and the atmosphere was so warm.
Victor put the towel aside. Leaning against his arms, Eden felt the warmth of his arms and his strong heartbeat. She felt at ease for no reason.
In order to reward him, Eden raised her head slightly and kissed his lips.
Her kiss was very light. Although they had kissed each other countless times, she was still shy in front of him.
Victor didn't move and sat quietly, but there was a gentle smile in his eyes.
All the good things happened at the right time.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Eden raised her head unhappily. She felt as if she was asking for a snub, and her starry eyes were full of resentment. Victor looked down at her with a smile, "Eden, what's wrong?" His voice was flirty and his eyes were passionate.
It was attractive enough to touch her heart.
Eden glared at him and did not speak. Such a good atmosphere had been ruined by him.
She said in a hoarse voice, "I'm hungry."
"Let's eat first. Then I'll satisfy you." His palm was extremely warm, and his voice was so gentle that her heart melted.
She glared at him, "No, you are really bad!"
Victor leaned against her and asked with a smile, "Why do you say so? Huh?"
Even the air was filled with affection.
"Go away. I want to eat something else, and I don't want steak." Eden pushed him away.
Victor didn't move and looked at the steak on the table, "What about sandwiches?"
"Good. I'm very hungry now." Eden nodded.
"Then I'll ask someone to bring you some sandwiches." It was a pity. What a romantic candlelight dinner! But Eden didn't like it. Forget it. Her feelings were the most important. Eden put her hands on the table lazily. Smelling the tempting aroma of the steak, she really had no appetite. She wanted to eat sandwiches more.
Jasper had put down his chopsticks, but Lyric was still enjoy eating.
Jasper was quite surprised.
Abigail and Eden ate much less than Lyric.
Looking at her, Jasper did not say anything. Her lips had turned red because of the spicy food. The shrimp was very spicy, but she ate it after dipping it in the spicy sauce. "It's so spicy and delicious!" Lyric said while eating. She even stuck out her tongue and fanned it with her hand.
Jasper was stunned.
"Since it's so spicy, why do you have to eat it?" Jasper frowned and handed a bottle of yogurt to her.
"Thank you, but it is really delicious. I really like it. Since my mother went abroad, no one has eaten with me. You are the first one to accompany me for a meal." Lyric took a gulp of yogurt.
Jasper looked at her and knew how she felt.
His parents were abroad all year round, and he could understand her feelings.
After he and Abigail grew up, they even settled down abroad.
He couldn't even meet him once a year.
"Where's your mother?" Jasper couldn't help but ask.
After asking, he felt that his question was a little abrupt. They were not close enough to ask about each other's privacy.
Lyric laughed and said, "She's abroad. After divorcing my father, she has been living abroad because of work. Although she can make lots of money to provide me a comfortable life, I don't like living alone. I'm too lonely."
It turned out that her parents had divorced.
Lyric realized that she had said too much. Feeling a little embarrassed, she smiled, "Mr. Joye, I still want to eat squid. Could you wait for me for a while?"
Jasper was shocked. Could she still eat?
"Yeah! It's okay. Enjoy your meal slowly!" Jasper said with a smile in his eyes, and he was very patient.
Looking at his bright smile, Lyric couldn't help but grin. The loneliness in her heart seemed to have disappeared little by little.
She turned around to get the squid. It was not because she was awkward, but because she really wanted to eat it.
She liked grilled squid. Moreover, the squid here was fresh, and it was greatly pickled.
After Lyric took a few steps, she suddenly stopped. Jasper could still see her.
"Hey! I didn't expect to meet you here." A woman stood in front of Lyric. She looked ordinary, but her expression was mocking. She was Lyric's half-sister, Ansley Lamb. Lyric's face suddenly darkened when she saw Ansley.
She didn't speak, nor did she want to talk to Ansley.
She stepped aside and tried to walk past Ansley, but Ansley stopped her.
"Lyric, why do you want to run away when you see me? Are you afraid of me?" Ansley said in a very disdainful tone.
Lyric looked at her with a faint smile, "There is no need to be afraid of such a crazy woman like you. But I'm eating now, and I don't want to ruin my good mood."
"Ha-ha..." Ansley sneered, "You're as glib as always. Do you mean that I'm crazy? Then let me ask you. If I'm crazy, what about you? Don't forget that we're half-sisters." "Really? I remember that I broke off my relationship with your family a long time ago. How could I have a sister?" Lyric looked at her with a sneer.
If it weren't the fact that Ansley and her mother suddenly went to her house, how could she lose her warm home?
Her mother was hot-tempered and proud. After knowing that her father had cheated on her, she decided to leave with her. She didn't ask for anything but the right to raise her. Since Lyric moved out of the house, she had never seen her father again.
She had become unfamiliar with the word "father".
"Even so, your last name is still Lamb, isn't it? Two days ago, dad said that you were at the age of marriage, and he wanted to see you, but could I let him see you? No! Everything in Lamb family is mine. You can't even get a penny."
Ansley said in a very arrogant tone and squinted at Lyric proudly.
"You'd better keep your poor property on your own. A spendthrift woman like you will spend all the money just in a few years."
"Besides, you and your mother care about the property of the Lamb family so much. I'm kind, and I won't take anything from you." Lyric's tone was very sarcastic. Her father didn't expect that Ansley's mother would be pregnant.
She knew that her father did not like Ansley.
