Victor realized that there were only ten dumplings on Eden’s plate. He frowned and asked, "Eden, why do you eat so little?" Eden was extremely thin. Did she still want to lose weight?
Eden said teasingly, "That’s because I want to treat my guest!"
"I have enough dumplings. Take them back!" Victor spoke as he picked up the dumplings on his plate.
Eden stopped him and smiled. "Victor, I was kidding.
I can only eat ten dumplings."
She couldn't eat too much. Ten dumplings were enough for her.
"Eden, ten dumplings aren't enough to make me full." Victor looked at her. He realized that she had a small appetite after having meals with her several times.
Eden smiled and pointed at his plate. She said, "That' s why I have prepared many dumplings for you. I can only eat this much myself. I will make you noodles later if you are still not full."
After all, Victor had brought a lot of noodles the last time he visited her. It was obvious that he wanted to come to her house to have a free meal.
Sometimes, she hated Victor for pestering her.
However, she felt that Victor was quite pitiful when she remembered that he was waiting wholeheartedly for his lover to return.
She didn't know why she would have such thoughts.
Her heart really ached for Victor.
Victor glanced at his plate and smiled. "Eden, I have at least thirty dumplings in my plates. I am afraid I might not be able to go back tonight if I eat more."
He said in a playful tone. He was actually willing to stay here for the night.
He was afraid that Eden would not agree!
Kenneth did not wait for Eden to speak and said, "Uncle Victor, you have to go back. My bed is too small and there is no place for you to sleep."
He was actually not very happy that he had to cram into one big bed with Eden and Henrick.
However, they could only live like this for a while since the apartment was small.
Victor looked at Kenneth blankly. He glanced at the apartment. It had one bedroom and one living room. The sofa was very small and there was indeed no place for him.
Victor laughed and said, "Eden, how about I help you find a bigger apartment?"
Eden shook her head quickly. "No need. My family is very big. I don't want to trouble you again, Mr. Alwynn. I have already bought a house and it is under renovation now. We can move there in a few days." Together with her mother and Gia, they would have a stable home.
Victor knew that she would refuse. He could only blame himself for being a step late.
He could give them a better house but he had to think about Eden's safety.
No way. He could not keep taking risks with Eden.
He had lost Eden for a very long time.
Victor glanced at Eden before he lowered his head to eat his dumplings.
His cold heart would become soft and warm, and his world would lit up whenever he saw Eden.
There was no one like her in the world who could give him such a feeling.
He finally found his Eden after searching for her for so many years. He could never give up and leave her again.
Victor smiled gently. He felt a sense of happiness in his heart for every dumpling he ate.
Eden cleared away the bowls and chopsticks after they finished eating the dumplings.
In the meanwhile, Victor was chatting with Kenneth
and Henrick.
Henrick looked at Victor and whispered with a smile, "Uncle Victor, I always feel that we look very much alike!"
He felt that they looked even more alike when he saw Kenneth sitting next to Victor.
