Eden took a deep breath and stopped thinking about the past.
All had gone now, and the hatred in her heart had been put aside.
She would spend the rest of her days happily.
She didn't expect a passionate love. What she expected was that her life could get better and better day by day!
At eight o'clock, Buddy appeared on time in the garden on the roadside of Houston Street.
This garden and the bus station were close, separated by a non-engine lane and sidewalk.
He could see the bus station behind the flowers.
"Buddy."
Buddy heard someone call him, and he quickly looked back.
Victor stood under the streetlamp not far away and looked at him. His eyes were faint, without any emotion.
Buddy smiled and asked, "Victor, why are you here?"
Victor put one hand in his trouser pocket and walked toward him elegantly.
When he came to Buddy's side, he said in an emotionless tone, "Passing by!"
"Passing by?" Buddy looked at him with doubt.
This place was in the opposite direction of his home. If he were passing by, he would have been heading to the Clement family's house. But it was not that case.
Buddy grinned, "You're here to see Eden, right?"
Victor looked at him indifferently and said, "I have an appointment, and I am just passing by."
Upon hearing this, Buddy felt helpless.
If Victor refused to admit it, he couldn't force him!
He looked at the bus station in the distance quietly. There were a lot of people coming and going. Buddy kept searching with his eyes. Every time a bus stopped, he stared at the door of it.
Suddenly, Eden and Giada entered their sights.
Buddy looked at the little girl in Eden's hand. He could see the side of Giada's face. He was slightly surprised and asked, "Victor, the little girl in Eden Bleu's hand is her daughter, isn't she? From the side, she looks like my sister Eden very much. When Eden was young, she was just so cute and beautiful. Don't you think they look alike?"
Buddy muttered to himself as he fixed her gaze on Giada's small face.
Victor suddenly looked up at him. Things were different in different people's eyes.
His daughter closely resembled him, but in Buddy's eyes, she took after Eden?
But the side face of Gia's was indeed quite similar to that of young Eden's.
Victor said, "You miss Eden too much."
Buddy slowly withdrew her eyes and smiled. "Maybe! You know that my family has locked all the things of Eden into her room. That room is maintained the same as it was when she was a child. It has never changed, and it is my mother that personally does the cleaning.
Those things have always been precious for her, and she doesn't allow anyone else to touch them."
Sometimes when he was walking on the road and occasionally saw a little girl, he would think of Eden. He would wonder how tall she was and how well she was living now.
He would be even sadder when he occasionally met those handicapped girls begging on the street. He was afraid that his sister would end up like this.
He did not even dare to watch the news of missing children on TV.
Victor took a deep breath and looked at Buddy, who seemed to be lost in thought.
Victor smiled in his heart," Since you can see that Gia resembles Eden Clement, why can't you see that Eden Bleu is your sister?"
