Eden thought for a moment and asked, "Victor, didn't you try to find her back then?" She had forgotten to ask this question last night.
Victor smiled bitterly and glanced at her quickly. "I have tried to look for her. The Clement and Alwynn family had spent a lot of money and manpower but they still couldn't find Eden. I have never stopped searching for her all these years!"
Fortunately, Eden had returned to his side safely!
Eden suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the car was tense. She felt that she was sitting in an ice cellar.
Eden didn't dare to look at Victor at the moment. She lowered her head and looked at her pale hands instead. One of the hands was clutching tightly on her wrinkled pants.
The car fell into a smothering silence instantly.
Victor felt a little strange and quickly turned his head to look at Eden.
Eden happened to look up at him at the same time. She gathered the courage and asked, "Victor, you said that she is back and you love her very much. Aren't you afraid that she will be angry when she
knows you have taken me instead of her?"
She and Victor had both lived a lonely life before. Both of them had experienced loneliness in this world.
Eden would feel a sense of coldness of the world seven years ago, even though she was standing under the blazing sun.
She felt that Victor and her experience were similar when she heard his past!
Victor smiled bitterly and said, "Eden, I didn't expect you to have such a bad memory. Didn't I tell you that she has forgotten me?"
Eden's heart tightened suddenly. She pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Victor, will you still get her back even though she has forgotten about you?
She has forgotten the way home. Will you tell her the way home?"
After that, she looked at Victor's side face quietly and pursed her lips slightly. There was a hint of stubbornness on her lips as she waited for Victor’s reply.
Every second was torturous to her.
Victor nodded and said, "Eden, yes. I will bring her home when the time is right and when it is safe."
Eden, you also know that the Clement family adopted Haven, who is seditious. I will wait a little longer and take her home when it's safe. Eden and I have had a marriage engagement since childhood."
"A marriage engagement?" Eden emphasized on the word.
"That's right! We have a marriage engagement. She had always clamored to marry me. How could I not agree to my little angel?" Victor's tone was filled with happiness.
Eden asked again, "Have you been waiting for her all these years? Will you wait for her to be your bride no matter what she becomes?" Her eyes were filled with tears and her sight was blurred.
"Yes!" Victor nodded heavily without hesitation.
A trace of warmth surged through Eden's heart.
Eden suddenly remembered Aisling's mean words.
She lowered her head suddenly and looked as though she had lost her soul.
After a while, she shook her head slightly. It was impossible. She was certainly not Victor's Eden.
Eden painfully told herself that.
Victor parked his car at the parking lot of the scenic spot.
He glanced at Eden who had her head lowered and said gently, "Eden, we're here." "Oh!" Eden raised her head and looked around. She realized that she was unaware that the car was already parked in the parking lot.
