Chapter 444
Zofia was the only good girl he had met over the years.
Among thousands of people, he finally met the right one, but they were forced to separate because of their family backgrounds.
He was unwilling to give up, but he had no way to persuade his mother.
He wanted to spend the rest of his life with Zofia. In his heart, this was eternal love.
He was prepared to love her forever, but he had not expected that things would go contrary to his wishes.
Love was mutual help and relief.
But when she was in trouble, he hid behind the crowd and watched her in pain alone.
Whenever he thought about her, he felt very useless.
He had promised her companionship. He wanted to accompany her to see all the prosperity of the world. He also hoped they would share trials and tribulations.
But things were not moving in the direction
desired.
Eden couldn't bear to refuse his request. Maybe there was still hope between them.
After all, Zofia was still in love with him.
She looked at Buddy and said, "Come to Houston Street at eight o'clock in the evening. I'll pick up Zofia there. Just stay in the garden behind the bus stop. Please remember that you've promised me not to meet her for the time being. She has just calmed down. If you want to talk with her, wait for a while."
Zofia was in a good state right now.
Buddy got up and looked at her gratefully. "Thank you. Then I'm leaving now. I'll go to Houston Street at eight o'clock."
"Alright!" Eden nodded slightly.
Buddy gave Victor a complicated look and got up to leave.
Eden watched Buddy leave and had a strange feeling in her heart. She did not dare to look at Victor. Lowering her head, she intended to sneak off.
But just as she moved her feet, Victor's voice came from behind her.
"Eden, come here." Her tone was cold, not allowing her to refuse.
Eden looked at him timidly and said with a smile, "Mr. Alwynn, I still have a meeting to attend. I have to go now."
Eden moved her feet again.
Victor narrowed his eyes and repeated in an even heavier tone, "Eden, come here." There was a strong threat in his voice.
Eden blinked her eyes, sweeping over Victor's every move.
She was desperate to leave now. When Victor spoke, she suddenly thought of the awkward situation just now.
Victor should have let her leave without a single word at this time. Only in this way could she relieve the embarrassment she had just suffered.
Wasn't he called the Young Emperor? Couldn't he just read the room?
Victor saw that Eden was still leaving, so he lost his patience.
He quickly got up and walked towards her.
At the moment when Victor got up, Eden wanted to run away. But when she saw him approaching her with an imposing manner, her footsteps felt like weighing a tonne, and she couldn't move at all.
Victor took her hand and led her to the sofa.
Victor had been worried about Eden from the bottom of his heart. His father had seen and threatened her. He had been afraid that she would quit her job.
Today, as soon as he knew that she had come to work, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that his Eden had always been brave.
She was afraid of darkness, but when he had run out at night after quarreling with his father, she would run after him regardless of her safety. She was always worried about him!
Eden was pressed onto the sofa. Victor sat down next to her, with one hand on the back of the sofa.
At first glance, it seemed as if his hand was on the shoulder of Eden.
This posture was a little awkward. Eden suddenly felt shy.
She looked askance at him and saw the corner of his mouth curl, revealing a wicked smile on his handsome face.
When Eden saw his expression, she felt that he was more or less the same as when he had been in Fralstin.
When she was about to say something, Vincent spoke first, "Eden, did you hear what Buddy and I were talking about?" His voice was calm, and he
didn't mean to blame her.
Eden thought it over and quickly shook her head with a smile. "Not much."
Victor straightened up slightly and got closer to her. Eden quickly leaned back and looked at him defensively.
Victor looked at her protective eyes helplessly. He would bully anyone in the world but her.
He continued to ask, smiling, "How much is 'not much'?"
Eden knew what he was driving at. But was hard to say.
She grinned, "How much do you think it should be? Do you think what I heard is something I shouldn't have heard?"
Yes! She shouldn't have heard him say the word "seriously" because it had made her felt more confused.
She wished she could ask him at this moment, "Victor, since you are determined to marry Eden Clement, why are you hitting on me?"
The question had been on the tip of her tongue many times. But she couldn't say it out when she looked at Victor's deep eyes.
Holding back her question, Eden felt so uncomfortable in her heart that she wanted to spit out blood.
Victor looked at her quietly. After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "Eden, do you want to know why I have to be with you?" Eden nodded her head in a hurry. She just wanted to know.
Victor looked at her and couldn't help but smile. She didn't know that her lovely look was so intoxicating.
Such a scene made him want to hold her tightly and never let her go.
He smiled, "Because it has to be you."
"Why? Victor, I want to know the reason." Eden looked at him seriously. She needed his answer.
Victor got up. He stood with his back to Eden and looked out of the window. He looked far away.
Eden stared at him in the dim light. At this moment, he looked even taller and straighter. But the loneliness in his body was shocking.
He whispered, "Eden, can you give me a little more time? I will tell you the reason."
When Eden heard this, she smiled slightly, "Since you don't want to say it now, I won't push you. I'm not that curious, either."
No, she was dying of curiosity.
"Alas!"
She got up and said, "I still have work to do. I'm leaving."
She walked past him. Victor looked at her back and couldn't help but stretch out his arms and hug her from behind.
Her waist was wrapped around by his arms, and she was instantly enveloped by a strong masculine aura. Her body shook slightly, and she nervously swallowed and stood still. Victor closed his eyes slightly and rested his head gently on her shoulder.
He whispered, "Thank you!"
Hearing this, Eden tensed up, but she still calmly asked, "What do you thank me for?"
There must be a reason to thank her, right?
