Chapter 339
Victor looked at Eden quietly. He was hurt and his eyes darkened.
Eden looked at his painful gaze and felt a little guilty.
The atmosphere in the elevator became more oppressive.
Eden only felt that it was a little difficult for her to breathe.
She looked up and met Victor's gaze. "Victor, I just want to tell you the truth. I don't want you to waste your time on me." Eden's tone softened a little and was not as cold as before. Didn't he treat her as a friend yesterday? Why did he suddenly fancy her today?
It was too fast and she couldn't accept it.
Victor changed his mind set and he laughed at himself in his heart. It seemed that he was too impatient.
Eden had just returned to his side. He couldn't be too hasty.
He smiled faintly and said in a deep voice, "Eden, I was kidding."
Eden was speechless.
"Victor, how can you joke about stuff like this?"
Eden glared at him and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Victor was just joking. If he was serious...
No way. She thought too highly of herself!
Why would she think that Victor who was rich and powerful, fancied her?
A self-mockery smile appeared on Eden's face.
Victor had been looking at her. His eyes darkened and he did not reveal much expression on his face when he saw Eden's relieved look.
However, he felt an excruciating pain in his heart!
He couldn't help but wonder what he should do to make Eden return to his side as soon as possible.
He was greedy and he missed her warmth.
No one else would be able to give him the warmth that she had given him.
"Victor, don't make such a joke in the future." Eden's clear eyes seemed to be smiling at him.
She could get along with him as long as he did not have that kind of thought.
Victor looked at her deeply. He wanted to let Eden know that he had always been serious about her.
He had never joked about his feelings towards her
before.
He cared about all the things that were related to her.
He would never allow anyone to hurt her.
Especially Haven, who had taken her place.
He was extremely serious when he confessed to her a while ago.
"Okay!" He replied faintly.
He was not as imposing as before when he saw her faint smile.
However, he still didn't let go of her hand.
Eden waved their hands that were held together.
Victor had a calm expression on his face when he saw that. He had no intention of letting go of her hand.
"Why? Are you still afraid that I would fall?" Eden teased as she looked at him with a smile.
Victor suddenly understood something. It seemed that Eden could get along with him peacefully as long as he didn't cross the line.
She would also give him a heartfelt smile.
Victor suddenly had an idea in mind.
He looked down at her and said, "Eden, you know that I have been waiting for my beloved woman, don'
t you?"
He was going to lead her bit by bit.
"Yes!" Eden took the bait and nodded.
Victor maintained the same expression on his face and continued, "Eden, have I told you that she looks like you?"
Eden thought hard and shook her head. Her big clear eyes were very serious.
Victor suppressed the slight excitement in his heart and continued, "Eden, she looks like you!"
Eden was taken aback.
"Is it true?" She was confused and doubted Victor's words.
Victor had a slightly wicked thought. Eden was afraid that she was too dumb and would be tricked by him.
Victor continued, "Eden, I have always been serious."
Eden nodded. "I don't deny that. You are very serious about your work but I don't know about how you treat your life and relationships." After all, she didn't know him well. She felt that she only knew a little about him.
"Eden, I've always been very serious in my work and my life." He had always been living seriously.
"So?" Eden looked at him and asked. She didn't know why he was telling her that.
She knew why Victor did that. He usually has something up his sleeve when he treated her well.
"I miss her very much!" Victor said in a deep voice with a strong sense of longing.
Eden's heart ached for him when she heard that.
"Why don't you go and find her then?" Eden asked without thinking.
Victor pursed his lips bitterly and he had a painful look on his face. He had calmed down his emotions after some time but his breathing was still heavy.
"She doesn't remember me." Victor looked at Eden calmly after saying that in a low voice.
"She doesn't remember?" Eden looked at him in surprise.
What did he mean by that?
"That's right!" Victor's eyes were as dark as ink as he looked at her. She had no memory of him at all.
"Where is she then?" Eden asked curiously.
When Eden knew that Victor had someone he liked, she really wanted to know who the lucky girl was.
Victor looked at her quietly and said nothing.
Eden felt slightly annoyed when she saw him like that.
He was the one who had made her curious about it but then he stopped talking.
Seeing that he had piqued Eden's interest, he said, "Eden, she's very close to me but she still doesn't recognize me no matter what I do. I miss her very much!" He lowered his head sadly as he spoke. Victor actually found it very weird. He was unable to say sweet things to Adonis, Anson, or Lucian but the words would come out of his mouth without passing through his brain when he spoke to Eden. He also would not feel awkward or had any other feelings.
Eden's heart ached for Victor slightly when she saw that he was in pain.
That was the second time she had seen Victor in such pain.
"Victor, don't be like this. Maybe she will suddenly remember you one day." She actually wanted to know more. Why couldn't the girl remember him?
"I also want her to remember me so that she can return to my side quickly." There was a sense of deep longing in Victor's tone.
Eden looked at him and realized that his expression would soften whenever he mentioned the woman. Even his cold eyes were gentle and moving.
She couldn't help but wonder how deep Victor's love was for the woman, to cause such a cold person like him to become this gentle.
"Eden."
"Yes!" Eden looked at him with a hint of pity in her eyes.
"Can you be my girlfriend for two days? Let's eat and shop like lovers! I can reduce my longing this way and I won't suffer much at night." He looked at her quietly and his dark eyes were filled with anticipation. Eden was momentarily stunned.
It was really hard for her to accept his rude request.
Victor looked at the elevator that had almost reached the first floor and a strange light flashed across his eyes.
