Speaking of Mr. Klein, Eden thought of Alice, the little girl who wanted to be her daughter-in-law. She couldn't help laughing. How adorable and lovely Alice was!
She had the same personality as Gia, but she was much gentler than Gia.
Gia was too careless and casual.
"Could I see Alice?" Eden asked.
She heard that Ricky's classmate Alma was a sensible and cute girl, and she performed well in Alwynn Group.
Ricky reminded her to pay more attention to Alma frequently.
"Yeah. Mr. Klein is well-informed. He knows that I am in Lemmon Ctiy and wants to invite us to dinner. I have promised him. He will come with his wife and daughter."
"Oh, then let's have dinner together. I haven't seen Alice for a long time, and I miss her. She must have grown much taller." Eden was looking forward to meeting the adorable little girl.
"Let's go." Victor took her across the road. This was the downtown area. The restaurant Bert booked was not far from there, and they had enough time to go there by foot.
At half past five, Bert arrived with Alice and his wife, Aubri Jones.
"Auntie Eden!" As soon as Alice saw Eden, she ran to her excitedly.
"Alice." Eden looked at Alice who was running towards her. Alice was much taller, and she was even slimmer than before. Her features were strongly defined and she looked so beautiful.
Alice threw herself into Eden's arms and said in a choked voice, "Auntie Eden, I miss you so much. I always want to visit you."
She raised her head and looked at Eden with tears in her big eyes.
Eden smiled and rubbed her head, "If you miss me in the future, you can make a video call to me."
"But dad said that you are very busy and I will affect your work." Alice looked at Bert with complaint.
"You won't." Eden smiled and nodded at Aubri and Bert.
Bert was still wearing a dark suit. He looked as commanding as Victor.
His wife was very pretty. She had her curly hair cut to her ears and wore exquisite makeup. Compared to Eden who wore casual clothes, she looked nobler.
Bert looked at Alice rather helplessly, "Alice, you don't want to stay at home all day long."
"Humph! That's not right!" Alice snorted and retorted.
"However, Auntie Eden, is Hendrick very busy? He doesn't reply to my messages." Originally, Alice was happy, but she suddenly became sombre and mirthless when she mentioned Henrick.
Eden knew that Ricky ignored Alice because he thought she was annoying.
It was his luck to know such a kind girl like Alice, but he actually disliked her.
"Alice, Ricky is abroad now, and he is getting used to studying and living there. He's quite busy." No matter what, Ricky was her son, so she wanted Alice to have a good impression on Ricky.
"But Gia chats with me every day. She said that they're not busy at all." The more Alice said, the sadder she became. Her eyes were brimming with tears.
Eden was stunned. She got a slap in the face. She just wanted to improve Alice's favourable opinion of Ricky.
She must teach Ricky a lesson.
"Alice, are you hungry?" Eden changed the topic.
He glanced at Victor who was chatting with Bert and Aubri.
