Eden nodded, "Okay, Gia likes friend chicken. Send some to Abby and Anson as well."
"No problem!" Victor dialed the manager's number and asked him to send some fried chicken to Windsor Villa.
Henrick was very happy, because he could stay with Eden alone and no one would share mother's love with him. Although Victor was there, he didn't affect him and Eden.
At night, the colourful lights on the roofs of baronial houses lit up. The whole city was lit up as bright as day.
In the middle of the spacious square, there was an artificial fountain and rockery. Some people were dancing around it.
Young couples walked hand in hand on the square.
Some young men were playing the guitar and singing for a living.
They were surrounded by young people, and they all had happy smiles on their faces.
On the other side of the fountain, there was a young handsome man who was dancing with many old ladies.
On both sides of the square, there were a lot of vendors selling snacks. Compared with the square, the snack street was more crowded. The snack street had more clients than it could take care of.
It was not in a mess. Instead, it showed the hustle and bustle of this city.
Victor pushed Eden's wheelchair with Henrick by his side. He looked at this bustling place. If it was in the past, he wouldn't feel as if he belonged here because he was too lonely. Walking in such a bustling crowd, he would look more melancholy and doleful.
But at this time, he had his lover and son by his side. When he came to such a lively place again, he really felt the bustle and prosperity here.
"Wow! Mom, it's really beautiful here. It's so lively." Henrick turned to look at Eden with a happy smile.
"Mm!" Eden smiled and nodded, "I was too busy in the past and didn't have time to take you out to play." She even didn't have much time to take them to the garden at the gate of the neighbourhood.
"Mom, you can accompany us more in the future. Dad is very rich. He can travel a lot of places with us. We can go for a trip together, and it is enough to make up for the regrets in the past." They were not greedy children, and they could understand that Eden was busy with working. They were also busy with their own things. He would be very glad if they could go out for a trip like this sometimes.
Victor looked at Ricky with tender eyes, "Ricky, when you have a holiday next semester, our family will travel abroad. You don't need to sign a contract for a movie role next semester."
"Okay! That's a deal. I'll plan my time." Of course, he was looking forward to such a trip. They must be overjoyed to travel together.
"Mom, there're sugarcoated haws. I want to eat that." Henrick pointed at an old man not far away with candied haws on his shoulder. The sugarcoated haws were red and looked particularly attractive.
Victor smiled, "If you want to eat something, let me buy it for you. Can your mother buy it for you now?"
Victor glared at Ricky. He wouldn't think of him at all.
He called Eden first every time, which made him envious.
"Okay, dad, I want to eat sugarcoated fruit." Henrick grinned.
Only then did Victor become a little happier, "Wait for me here with your mother. I'll be back soon."
Watching Victor leave, Henrick said with a smile, "Mom, dad looks cold on the surface, but he has a soft and warm heart."
"Yeah! He is very kind, and he is just too proud to do something." Eden looked at Victor's tall figure. He was so eye-catching among the people here. Although it was crowded, she could see him immediately because he was too noble and special.
Soon, Victor came back with three bunches of sugarcoated fruit.
Henrick smiled and said, "Dad, I only want one bunch of sugarcoated fruit. Why did you buy three?"
Victor handed him a bunch of sugarcoated fruit, "Do you think they are all for you? The other two are for me and your mom. I have never eaten sugarcoated fruit before. Your mom ate it when she was young."
Victor handed the sugarcoated fruit to Eden.
Seeing this, Eden took it eagerly.
There were very few people selling sugarcoated fruit. It was only sold on the crowded streets or squares. It had been a long time since she ate them last time.
In the past, there were only sugarcoated haws. At this time, there was a variety of fruit, like strawberries, oranges... and so on.
Eden ate a strawberry which was sour and sweet, and it tasted pretty good.
"Miss Bleu!" Suddenly, a woman in a black dress stood by Eden's side and looked at her with neither joy nor anger.
The woman was tall and slim. Her features were compelling and beautiful. The red lipsticks was the icing on the cake, making her more charming.
Eden raised her head and was slightly stunned. Then she smiled faintly, "Maureen Moore, long time no see!"
Maureen looked at her and smiled with complicated emotions. Seeing Eden sitting in a wheelchair, she thought that she had made a mistake, but it was really Eden.
"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a long time indeed. I actually meet you in the crowded square. I heard that Jasper came to River City because of you. So many years had passed, but he still likes you."
Maureen said these words with unspeakable bitterness in her tone.
Eden's heart skipped a beat. She knew Jasper's affection towards her all the time.
She said, "Maureen, I've got married."
Eden pulled Victor and introduced him, "This is my husband, Victor. You met my son a few years ago. Victor is the biological father of the children."
Although she did not know what Jasper had said to Maureen, three years ago, no, four years ago, Maureen found her and her eyes were full of hostility. After saying goodbye to her, she went abroad.
However, Eden knew that Maureen loved Jasper very much. But Jasper didn't like her.
She hadn't seen Maureen for nearly four years, and she almost forget her.
