Eden took a close look and found that it was actually Adalynn.
She said, "Kenny, Ricky, you two go in first. I will be back soon."
"Oh! Mom, come in quickly and let's eat together." Saying this, Henrick walked in with his schoolbag and looked very happy.
"Okay!" Eden smiled. She didn't walk to the gate until they entered the house.
Adalynn was standing with her back to the gate. She lowered her head, and it seemed that she was lost in thought.
Eden had remembered something in her childhood. She knew that Adalynn was not as scheming as Vincent. She was protected too well by her mother, and she had no definite views of her own. That was why she had hurt Anson like that.
But seeing her, Eden felt that she had changed a lot.
She dressed casually and comfortably. Her hair had returned to its original black colour and hung long in the back. She was as pure and beautiful as a graduate.
The sudden change in her life had made her steadier.
"Miss Alwynn." Eden called her indifferently. She seldom talked to Adalynn before, so they were unfamiliar with each other.
Adalynn was shocked and suddenly turned around to look at Eden. She didn't expect that Eden would come out.
"Eden." She said, but Eden did not respond.
Adalynn smiled and said, "In fact, I always regard Victor as my eldest brother in heart. However, because of my mother, we..."
Adalynn smiled bitterly and did not finish her words. In her heart, she regarded Eden as her sister-in-law.
Eden knew what she meant, but many things could not be changed, and much harm could not be made up.
"I heard that you went abroad to study."
"Yeah! It has been almost three years. I came back to see all of you." Adalynn looked at her with a smile.
Adalynn had become much more confident, and her smile was different from before.
She looked very sincere and had a rosy complexion.
"Victor is at home. Do you want to come in and meet him?" In fact, Eden knew that Victor didn't hate Adalynn very much in heart, but he didn't like her.
Since Adalynn left, he had never mentioned Adalynn's name, as if there was no such a person in his life.
Adalynn immediately shook her head, "Eden, there's no need. Thank you for coming out to see me. I'm sure that Victor doesn't want to see me. I'm very happy to see that you guys are doing well."
Eden did not force her. She had changed a lot. Her voice was gentle and her eyes were clear, and she was no longer so selfish and vicious. Moreover, she looked more beautiful.
Eden glanced at the road on the left and said, "Dad lives here as well. Let's go to see him."
Adalynn smiled, "Eden, I had seen him before I came here. He said that he was living a good life and asked me not to worry about him. I drank a cup of tea with him before leaving. Although he is not my biological father, in my heart, he is my real father. I grew up under his protection, and I always remember the love and care he gave me. I'm so glad because he was willing to see me."
Eden nodded, "Yeah! Family affection doesn't only exist in those who are related by blood. As long as people care about each other, they're family."
"That's right. I didn't understand this before. I've lived abroad for almost three years and I have understood a lot. In the past three years, I studied on a work-study basis. I went to work in cafes and restaurants, and I met different people every day. Every time I met someone and communicated with him, I felt that everyone had his own different story."
"Only then did I realize that I was just an ordinary and insignificant person among people. As long as I can live in happiness, my life is the best." When Adalynn said this, she looked very confident and warm.
Seeing that she had changed a lot, Eden was relieved. Everyone would make mistakes.
