"Eden, I'll be right there." Victor's voice was filled with affection when he said that.
Eden could not help but smile. She glanced at the row of endless food stalls before she turned around and headed to the stall.
She had called Kenny and Gia a while ago. They were very happy to hear that she would bring back supper forthem.
She was not worried when Kenny and Gia were home alone because Kenny would never make her worry.
Kenny was able to take good care of Ricky and Gia!
Eden, Zofia and Victor sat at the corner of the stall. It was much quieter there compared to outside.
Eden handed a pair of chopsticks to Victor.
Victor glanced at the seafood on the table. There were spicy fried clams and stir-fried razor clams with scallion and ginger. There were many others grilled, fried and boiled dishes on the table.
He was a little hungry after a few hours of hard work.
"Zofia, come, eat more." Eden put a bowl of fish soup in front of her.
Zofia smiled and said, "Eden, Mr. Alwynn, thank you for your hard work today."
"Zofia, I told you that you don't have to be so polite!" Eden looked at her with her beautiful eyes.
Zofia did not speak. She looked at Eden and Victor gratefully.
The three of them finished their food within half an hour. Eden packed up some food to take home after that.
Zofia had wanted to pay for the bill but she couldn't do anything when Victor insisted on paying.
Victor was in a very good mood tonight.
He glanced at Eden, who was standing next to him. He was eager to see Eden’s shocked expression when she saw him the next day.
He couldn't calm down his excitement when he thought about it.
"Eden, I'll send you back."
Eden glanced at him and shook her head slightly. "Victor, that's not necessary. This place is not far from my house. It’s just a quick walk there. You are tired today. You should go back quickly and have a rest!"
She had an eight o'clock flight tomorrow morning.
Hence, she needed to get up early as well.
Victor frowned. He remembered that Eden's house was not nearby.
"I'd better send you back!" He insisted and his tone was unrelenting.
"Alright then!" Eden gave him a sidelong glance. He was indeed a stubborn guy.
Victor's lips curled into a faint smile when he heard that and his smile lingered for a long time.
Victor glanced at the time and realized that it was getting late after sending Eden and Zofia home.
He glanced at Eden and his eyes darkened when he realized that Eden had no intention of inviting him in!
Eden smiled at Victor innocently. "Victor, be careful on the road!"
Victor's lips curved upwards slightly when he looked at her serene smile. "Okay! Get some rest!"
"Okay!" Eden nodded.
Only then did Victor drive away.
"Whew!" Eden let out a sigh of relief. She felt much more relaxed after Victor had left.
It was really hard to figure out Victor's unstable mood!
"Eden, let's go in!" Zofia who was standing not far away spoke.
"Okay!" Eden nodded, "Zofia, I will be away for three days. Kenny will take care of the meals himself. You just need to help me keep an eye on them and make sure they don't go outside."
"Okay, Eden, you can leave in ease. I'm not busy for the time being. I will be waiting for my second aunt to come and help me. Hence, I will be at home these few days."
Eden was relieved when she heard that. "Zofia, don't tire yourself. Don't forget that you are pregnant."
"Yes!" Zofia raised her lips and smiled happily!
