"Victor, you actually take the initiative to call me." Abigail said teasingly.
Victor was speechless. Had he never taken the initiative to call her?
"Eden..."
"What's wrong with Eden? Anson and I are quite busy today. Is she not feeling well? Are you a qualified husband? Eden is ill, but you don't send her to the hospital!" Abigail's angry voice made Victor stunned.
Victor's face darkened, "You and Anson have been in the company."
"What do you expect? We're very busy these days. Will you give us overtime pay? Take good care of Eden for me. I will visit her after I am done with my work in a few days." Abigail always spoke to Victor in a bad tone.
Victor could feel her anger through the phone.
Abigail had been protective of Eden.
"Bye." Victor hung up the phone and saw Eden coming downstairs. She did not go to see Abigail. Where had she been?
He carried the food back. Eden was downstairs.
She reached out and took the food from his hands, "Victor, I'm going to cook. Just go to work."
Victor didn't give her the food, but stared at her meaningfully, "It's okay. I've finished my work. Let's cook together."
"Alright." Eden smiled and turned to the kitchen.
Victor looked at her back thoughtfully.
After Eden entered the kitchen, she found that he was cooking chicken soup. The chicken soup was very delicious, and it was suitable to be hot pot soup. She always cooked chicken soup. The three children liked it very much.
There was a layer of oil floating on top of the soup, smelling so good.
After Eden moved here, it was her first time to come to the kitchen. Looking at the chicken soup, she felt a little hungry.
"Victor, I'll have a bowl of chicken soup first. I'm hungry." Her smile was the same as usual. When she looked at him, her eyes were always so shy and bright. But Victor felt that she was a bit different.
Victor knew she had something on her mind, but she just didn't want to tell him.
"Okay, come here. Be careful not to spatter any hot soup on yourself. The soup has boiled for quite a while."
Victor pulled her and let her stand behind him. Then he took out a small bowl, skimmed off the fat from the soup and gave her a bowl of chicken soup.
He let her sit on the stool next to him and drink.
He began to wash the vegetables. Eden was drinking the soup, while he was washing vegetables. They didn't talk to each other.
Victor couldn't get used to such an atmosphere. When they stayed together, she always talked a lot. She would gossip and talk about her design, and he always listened to her patiently. But she was very quiet that day.
She was so quiet that he thought he had done something wrong to make her unhappy.
But before eating, he chose not to ask anything. If she didn't eat, her health would be affected.
Victor was a little upset, but he cooked seriously.
Eden was indeed in a bad mood. Even though she pretended not to care, she was sad and depressed.
She didn't know what he was thinking about, and her heart was tortured by pain and grief.
Her heart ached for him. He didn't want a child, but he would rather hurt himself than hurt her.
That was why she was so ambivalent.
She tried to understand Victor, but if she kept this matter in her heart, she would be puzzled and anxious.
She would be troubled by the fact everyday.
Who wanted his heart to be broken by such a bad thing?
Eden was at a loss, and she didn't know what to do. She could only remain silent like this.
After forty minutes, Victor prepared all the dishes.
