Eden walked to the corner and saw a tall figure standing in front of her with his head slightly lowered. His hair hung down some inches in a fringe all over and made a handsome ornament. He stood by the window and the light coming in through the window spread on his body, making him look like a prince from the fairy tale.
Eden was slightly surprised to see Victor there.
Victor looked at her and put on a tender smile. "My dear wife, why do you come out so late?"
Eden didn't know what he meant.
"Did you know that I'm here?" She walked to his side.
"Yes," he smiled and nodded, stretching out his long arms to hold her slim waist. Then he bowed his head and stared at her with his black eyes. She could see her own face reflected in his clear eyes. He smiled gently and said, "Dear, didn't you also know that I am here?"
Eden was speechless. Did he see her earlier?
"You've been drinking." Eden looked at him with concern.
"I just had three glasses." Victor raised three slender fingers and waved them in front of her.
"That's enough. Let's go home now." Eden grabbed his arm.
Three glasses of drink would not make him drunk.
He was still very sober, but he felt Eden was different in his eyes.
"Honey, I love you!" He couldn't wait to tell her this. He believed that Eden had already heard the conversation between him and the woman earlier.
Eden looked up at him in amusement. "You're drunk. Why are you saying this right now?"
Victor smiled. "You make me drunk even if I didn't drink."
Eden's face was flushed by his teasing and she gently pounded his chest.
Victor only squinted with a look of enjoyment.
"Why are you so sweet today?" She was actually very pleased to hear that.
"Because..." he bowed his head and quickily kissed her on her lips. "Because I ate something sweet." He looked at her with his dark eyes.
Eden's face instantly turned red.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that he did not press the button to go downstairs, instead, they were in the exclusive elevator and going to the top floor.
"Why are we going up?" Eden looked at him in confusion.
Victor lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Because I missed you."
The drinks he had today were very strong. Although he only had three glasses, he still felt a little tipsy.
He wanted to go to the top floor for a rest before going back.
"You are so cheeky." Eden felt sorry for him, so she didn't say anything, just went to the room on the top floor with him.
After helping him to sit on the bed, she went to make him a cup of hot tea.
Looking at her busy figure, Victor felt his heart softened.
The tea was too hot, so she put the cup on the table and looked back at him. "Victor, lie down and rest for a while. I'll stay here with you. Drink the tea later."
Victor waved at her and said seriously, "Come here."
"Why?" Eden looked at him warily. She knew he would do anything even though it was daytime.
Looking at her scared face, Victor felt she was even more adorable.
Eden hesitated for a while and finally walked over.
