Chapter 345
Eden did not ask any more questions. She sat there quietly and waited for him to calm down before he continued.
At that moment, she didn't dare to look at Victor's painful face.
She was afraid that his painful look would be engraved in her heart if she did that.
She would feel pain when she recalled the memories etched in her heart.
Victor needed a quiet listener at the moment.
Eden felt the pain in Victor's words. Victor suppressed the pain in his voice and said slowly, "It was raining so heavily that night that I could barely see the sight in front of me. I was in so much pain and I just wanted to vent it out.
I ran forward as fast as I could. Eden, who was behind me, did not give up chasing after me.
I suddenly realized that Eden was still behind me when I was tired and I stopped running. I quickly went back but I couldn't find her. It has been almost nineteen years and I have never seen her again..." Victor continued his story after that!
Throughout the process, Eden did not ask him anything.
Eden only looked up at Victor when he stopped speaking. Her movements were a little stiff and she fixed her gaze on Victor's handsome face.
Her face was filled with tears.
Victor's face was also the same. His tears looked even clearer on his fair skin.
He had a fragile expression on his face at the moment. He looked like a fragile porcelain doll whose soul would be gone at the slightest touch. Victor felt an excruciating pain in his heart when he saw the tears on Eden's face!
"Eden." He called out to her longingly.
He turned his body slightly and hugged her tightly.
He buried his head in her shoulder and closed his eyes. He felt as though he was hugging his whole world!
Eden was slightly stunned and let Victor hug her tightly. His heart-breaking words still echoed in her mind.
Why did she feel that she could empathize with him when he was narrating his experience?
She didn't expect that the CEO who was rumored as cold-blooded, would have such a tragic past and a strong obsession with love.
Those few years of Eden's companionship had become his lifelong commitment, guardianship and waiting.
After all, many people only cared about their own interests in such a highly developed era and true feelings rarely existed.
However, she could see Victor's persistence and sincerity!
She blinked gently and crystal clear tears rolled down her face slowly!
She closed her eyes and suppressed all the emotions she was feeling. She opened her mouth and thought for a long time before she said, "Victor, you have already cherished her when you had her. It's fine as long as you are sincere and did nothing wrong.
Eden's disappearance is not your fault.
Don't feel that the world is unfair to you. After all, you are the one depending on the world, not the other way round. Let the past remain in the past. If you are lucky, Eden might show up in front of you one day. She would smile at you and tell you that she is back!"
A strong sense of sadness filled Eden's heart instantly when she finished speaking the last sentence. She was so in pain that her body spasmed a little.
She didn't know why she felt so much pain.
Why did it hurt so much suddenly?
Victor's body that was hugging her, shook slightly when he heard Eden saying the last sentence.
It struck his heart and all the waiting and sadness came to an end at that moment.
He had been waiting for that sentence for a very long time.
He had been waiting for the beautiful girl to stand in front of him and said with a sweet smile, "Victor, I'm back."
No other sentence could make him as happy as he was at the moment!
"Eden, thank you for coming back. Thank you!" Victor's infatuated voice was choked with sobs.
Eden was slightly stunned. She knew that Victor had mistaken her for Eden Clement.
However, a person needed to have a good mind-set to deal with the sufferings in life!
She would bring Victor back to reality again if she spoke at the moment.
Eden thought for a moment. Victor was more in pain than ever before.
She stayed quietly in his arms and didn't say anything!
She wanted to give Victor who was in pain, a world that only belonged to him!
Time passed by slowly. After some time, the night gale brought Victor back to his senses.
Eden was a little sleepy in his arms.
In fact, she felt that his embrace was quite warm. Another reason could be that she was exhausted after strolling today!
That was why she felt drowsy. Eden wanted to find a reason for herself. However, after thinking over and over again, she concluded that she felt drowsy because Victor's embrace was safe and warm. Victor smiled softly and slowly let go of her. He looked at her drowsy eyes dotingly.
She did a very great job as a listener!
He had told Eden everything about their childhood. If she suddenly remembered him one day, she would know that he was still waiting for her to come back to him!
"Eden, are you sleepy?" His voice returned to its usual flatness.
"Yes! I'm sleepy!" Eden nodded in a daze.
"Eden, I'll carry you back!"
Eden sobered up slightly when she heard Victor's
words.
She looked at him and shook her head quickly. "No need. Victor, I can walk on my own! It's a long way back. We can walk slowly!"
As she spoke, she stood up slowly.
Victor held her hand and they walked back slowly.
Victor looked around and found that the people at the beach had already left.
Only he and Eden were there!
The faint moonlight stretched the shadows of two people holding hands, leaving a steady stream of warmth behind them.
Eden asked, "Victor, do you feel much more comfortable after talking about it?"
"Yes!" Victor smiled. "Eden, I feel much more comfortable. Thank you for listening to my childhood story." He thought in his heart but didn't say it aloud, "My childhood story with you."
Eden shook her head slightly and said drowsily, "Victor, no problem! According to your timeline, the girl should be in her twenties now. Are you going to keep waiting for her?
Aren't you afraid that she is married with children?" After all, nobody knew what fate had in store for them!
Take her as an example. If she was lucky enough to find her parents, would they be upset that she had children before marriage?
Eden smiled at herself and wondered when she would find her parents.
It was fine if she could not return to their side. She would be satisfied if she knew they were doing well!
