Eden suddenly felt that there was something wrong with her attitude. She should have slapped him, but she couldn't raise her hands.
Victor gazed at her silently. He really wanted to tell her the truth because he didn't want any secret between them.
"Eden, I'm sorry. Whether when you were six years old or seven years ago, I hurt you very bad. Sorry, it's my bad. I promise it will never happen again. Apart from this, there are no other secrets between us."
Knowing that she was the girl seven years ago, Victor felt guiltier. He promised in mind that he would try his best to take good care of her, dote on her and love her for the rest of his life.
Eden heard his apology and burst into tears. She couldn't get over what happened seven years ago, but now that all the truth had been revealed.
She had always wanted to have a clear conscience. She was finally relieved.
"Honey..."
"Victor." Eden looked up and interrupted him. She paused for a while and then asked, "Is it fun to trick me?"
Victor shook his head immediately and looked at her frankly, "Honey, I never thought about playing tricks on you. I was just afraid that you would not take it, so I wanted to get involved in your life gradually so that I could tell you these things slowly. Eden, I love you sincerely. You are the most loved one in my life, how will I trick you?"
Then he took her hand, which was a little cold. He held it tightly and looked at her tenderly with his black bright eyes, "Eden, I will never hurt you. The reason why I did this was for our future. And I will always put our future first. I promise you."
He gently wiped away the tears on her face with the other hand.
"Don't cry, honey. You break my heart. You can blame me, but don't cry." Victor looked at
Eden with a distressed face.
He could do whatever she wanted him to do as long as she could calm down.
Eden said, "Victor, sometimes I think you are very scary. You are calm, silent, and resourceful. You are so good at hiding your light. Although these are the symbol of a mature man, it also means that you are extremely sophisticated. You won't express any emotions on your face. No matter what happens, you can control your temper and hide your thoughts. Tell me, did you plan to approach me since I came back?" every word Eden said was very heavy. She started to think that she didn't know him very much.
Victor was extremely self- disciplined. Eden was the only one who can make him impulsive. In business, he was very good at insight into other people's thoughts while others could hardly figure out his minds. Besides, he had a clear mind and knew what he wanted.
But he would not cross his bottom line for his interests.
Victor nodded, then instantly defended himself, "I admit it. But, honey, my love to you is sincere. I have been getting along with you frankly since I knew your identity. I'll never use the methods that I used in business on you."
Indeed, he hadn't done anything excessive to her.
Except for making out with her that night.
Eden was tenderhearted and always put herself in others' shoes. Therefore, she would not be angry as long as Victor did not cross her bottom line. In her opinion, there was nothing that could not be forgiven.
