Eden looked at Victor's back and said quickly, "Mr. Alwynn, did you enter the wrong room?"
Victor walked inside and sat on the sofa. Then he looked back at her with a slight smile in his eyes. "Eden, don't you want to read? I'll accompany you. It's a virtue to love reading. Reading can keep people intelligent, active in thinking, and open-minded. It can also make you more far-sighted and ambitious. I also like reading."
Eden was speechless again.
Of course, she knew that reading had a lot of advantages, but she hadn't asked him to accompany her to read.
She lived a very self-disciplined life. It was almost time for her to go to bed now.
Eden walked in silently and looked at him with deep eyes.
"Victor, please go back. I'd like to stay alone." She walked to the opposite side of him and sat down.
Victor's eyes darkened in an instant. He sat there quietly, lowering his eyes as if he were suddenly injured thoroughly.
Eden looked at him and felt guilty in her heart
instantly. Her every move and word could affect his mood.
Seeing him hanging his head, Eden wanted to say something.
But Victor suddenly got up and glanced at her. "Rest early. Good night!"
In the end, she swallowed the words on her lips. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief.
When Victor saw this, his eyes darkened.
"Good night!" Eden said.
Victor strode out. He looked so lonely that Eden felt sorry for him.
She looked at his back and felt a sharp pain at the bottom of her heart. She wanted to stop him.
But he had already walked out and closed the door for her.
The moment the door was shut, it was as though the world had been divided. Eden recalled his lonely back and felt extremely uncomfortable.
She silently put the book on the table. At the moment, she was in no mood to read.
Eden sat quietly. Her mind was filled with Victor's lonely back.
Victor returned to the room next door, but he did not turn on the lights. He sat in a chair, with one
hand on the table, slightly bent.
That pair of deep eyes were reflecting the night, and the boundless loneliness surrounded him.
Just now, when Eden had seen that he was about to leave, she had let out a sigh of relief as if he was a fierce beast. It turned out she didn't like to be alone with him.
Victor had been sitting quietly for a long time, and the sharp pain in his heart was unbearable.
At the same time, Eden was sitting in the same way quietly.
The next day was Sunday. When Eden woke up early in the morning, Victor was no longer at home.
When she got downstairs, Jaida said, "Eden, good morning. Victor took the kids to the bookstore."
Hearing this, Eden was slightly stunned. Victor was very busy. How could he have time to take them to the bookstore?
Eden said, "Mom, I have something to do today. I gonna take off now."
Jaida looked at her. "Eden, don't you have breakfast?"
Eden shook her head and said, "I'm going to see if there is a dance workshop nearby. I want to continue practicing. And I will stop by to see Zofia.
