Deep down, he could not escape the self-blame and guilt.
Kenneth paused in front of the car. Phillip was lost in his thoughts, so he didn't notice his presence.
Kenneth followed his gaze and saw his grandmother.
Kenneth knew who Phillip was. He could recognize almost all the rich people of River City because of the influence of his master and his extremely good memory. This was his grandmother's ex-husband, Phillip Alwynn.
Kenneth hadn't expected Phillip to find their home so fast.
He walked over and blocked Phillip's view.
Phillip returned to his senses after he saw Kenneth. When he saw the familiar face of Kenneth, he was brought up short, feeling he had seen this pretty face somewhere before.
Kenneth's cold eyes glanced at him, and then he slowly walked back home with the painting paper in hand. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he said to his grandmother, "Grandma, I'm back."
The moment Jaida raised her head, Phillip immediately rolled up the window. He did not have the courage to face her.
Jaida smiled and said, "Kenny, hurry up and send the paper to Gia. She might have lost her temper while waiting."
"Okay, I'll send it to her now." Kenneth glanced behind him and left.
After watering the last pot of flowers, Jaida picked up the bucket and went back.
Phillip looked at her back. She hadn't changed much. She had been beautiful since she had been young, and now the time had made her look even more charming.
Some said women were most beautiful when they had a happy family.
If he had heard these words when he was young, he would have scoffed at them. But now he understood what they meant.
"Jaida, I'm sorry!" Phillip muttered in a low voice. Seeing Jaida close the door, he slowly withdrew his eyes and drove away.
This evening, there was going to be a dinner with the Clement family, and he had to go back.
When Eden woke up, it was already past 6 pm.
She stretched herself vigorously, feeling that she had made up for her one-month-
long sleeplessness.
It was really comfortable to enjoy a sound sleep.
Suddenly, Eden realized that something was wrong. She quickly looked askance, and a handsome face jumped into her sight.
Eden's pupils dilated in shock, but in a flash, she was obsessed with his beauty.
When Victor was sleeping, his eyebrows were gentle, and there seemed to be a tender smile on the corners of his mouth. He was sleeping quietly without the usual coldness, looking like Apollo.
He was so handsome!
How could he be so attractive?
Eden said to herself, "You can't fall into his trap! Hold on! Eden, you are not a little girl who is easily enchanted by beauty.
Move your eyes off his face, or you'll slide into the abyss!"
But she heard another voice deep down, "Look at that beautiful face! No one else can see it so close. Now it's in front of me. Isn't it sweet? I must make good use of this opportunity."
The two voices were fighting in her heart.
Just as Eden was feeling extremely conflicted and lost in her mind, Victor suddenly opened his eyes.
