The elegantly decorated and dimly lit office was quiet all of a sudden.
Many unrepentant memories of the past loomed in Rebecca’s mind.
As for the Clement family, Wyatt had been recuperating at home ever since he fell down the other day.
The spacious bedroom was classically decorated. It was elegant, delicate, and comfortable. The gorgeous crystal lamp emitted a radiant glow.
Wyatt was leaning on a beige luxurious sofa, with a picture frame in his arms.
The little girl in the picture frame was sitting on his lap and smiling brightly.
Wyatt gently caressed his daughter's face with his big fingers. He had missed his daughter very much ever since he met Eden the other day. He believed that Eden was his daughter.
Aisling came in with a glass of water. When she saw the picture of Wyatt holding their daughter in his arms, she frowned and said, "Wyatt, put these photos away. Don't make me reminisce about the past. Can't you just let me live in peace for a few
days?"
She spoke in an unhappy tone. She would not be in a good mood most of the time when she saw her daughter's photo.
Wyatt looked up and glanced at her wryly.
He lowered his head and said softly, "The more I think about the girl who supported me a few days ago, the more she seemed like our daughter."
When Aisling heard that, she took a deep breath and said, "Wyatt, you’ve met many women who resemble Eden eight times a month but none of them are actually her. You must have hallucinations because you missed her too much. Take your medicine first!" Aisling handed the medicine to him.
Wyatt accepted the medicine and water. He raised his head and swallowed the medicine.
Aisling took the cup from his hand and put it on the tea table in front of her.
Wyatt looked at Aisling and thought for a while before he said, "Aisling, you have to trust me because my feeling is really strong this time. That girl has the same pair of clear eyes like Eden's..."
"That’s enough, Wyatt. Why do you have to treat me like this? I want to forget the pain of losing my daughter desperately but you remind me every day of how long our daughter has been lost. Can't you let me live in peace for a few days?"
Aisling interrupted Wyatt angrily. She suddenly stood up and looked at him furiously.
Her heart was in pain. People were still able to carry on with their lives even if they had lost someone in this world. However, it was torture for both of them to live without their daughter.
Wyatt raised his eyes and looked at Aisling's teary eyes. He smiled bitterly and said, "Aisling, deep down, you want to find Eden more than anyone else. Eden will come back to us as long as we don't give up."
Aisling didn't want to listen anymore. She turned around and left. Wyatt's heart ached for her when he saw her disappointed back.
Wyatt had made up his mind in his heart. Nobody believed him but he would prove that he was right this time.
Wyatt looked at the time. It was still early. He got up and changed his clothes before he drove to the restaurant where he ran into Eden the other day.
Victor picked up Kenneth and took him to the fancy buffet restaurant in Time Square for a seafood feast.
Kenneth had been to a buffet restaurant previously but it was not as luxurious as the one today.
Eden's time was limited so their grandmother was the one who took care of their meals.
Victor and Kenneth sat opposite each other at a table near the window.
The environment of the restaurant was very good and the light music was very soothing.
There were many people there but they were all talking in low voices and did not affect one another!
Kenneth's elegant table manners had some striking resemblance to Victor's.
Victor looked at Kenneth, who was eating squid, and asked with a smile, "Kenny, how did you usually take your meals when your mother is at work? Who takes care of you?"
Kenneth raised his eyes and saw the hint of concern in Victor's eyes. He said nonchalantly, "Grandma would take care of us. Mom can go to work at ease. We are all very well-behaved and we won't cause trouble for Mom."
Kenneth talked as he ate. Victor's heart ached when he heard that.
He was enjoying his peaceful life all this time.
