Buddy replied, "Eden, during this period of time, you have been taking care of Zofia. Thank you. I bought a lot of snacks you like and put them in your room. I took away Zofia's things. I will come back to see you when I have time. Zofia can't bear to leave you. She said that the days together with you were very happy."
Eden's eyes widened slightly when she saw this. Zofia had moved out so quickly.
Then she smiled faintly. Buddy must be very happy. Zofia had finally forgiven him. He must be eager to live with Zofia.
After being with Victor, she could understand Buddy's feelings.
Eden said, "Buddy, take good care of Zofia and my future nephew. Send me an address and I'll go there to accompany Zofia on weekends."
"Okay! But Eden, mom gave Zofia so much money as a red packet. I think that's the dowry she prepared for you. She must be very sad now. Send her a message to comfort her later."
Eden was speechless. Why would her mother be reluctant to give the money to her grandson?
"Okay, Buddy, I'll talk to mom later."
"Eden, it's great that you're back. I'll send Zofia to the apartment first, and we have a lot of things to buy. I'll send you the address later."
"Alright."
After Victor put down the food, he looked at Eden whose head was lowered. Seeing that she was smiling happily, he asked, "Eden, what makes you so happy?"
Eden raised her head and looked at him with a grin, "Zofia has forgiven Buddy. He is very glad. However, my mother gave Zofia a big red envelope. Buddy said that my mom was very unhappy, so he asked me to enlighten her."
Victor smiled and said, "Mrs. Clement is such a person. She is quite willing to spend money on her family, but she feels very bad to give money to outsiders."
Eden said, "Victor, how could my sister-in-law and future nephew be outsiders? Don't you know that? The son-in-law is half a son, and the daughter-in-law is half a daughter, but I only believe that we should judge another person's feelings by our own, and we will only get other's kindness by treating them sincerely. Since my mom treats Zofia well now, Zofia will regard her as her biological mom when she is old. It depends on everyone's own ideas and behaviors. Many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law can't get along well, but if they can humour and understand each other more, they can live a happy life together."
Victor laughed and said, "Fool, do you think everyone can be as kind as you?"
Eden got up and went to the open kitchen.
"Victor, there are more good people in the world."
She looked at the time. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. How time flew!
"Victor, let's make dumplings. After dinner, we should go back quickly. The children will go to school tomorrow, and we have to check their homework when we go back."
Eden rolled up her sleeves and was ready to trim the vegetables. She was going to make some fennel dumplings and celery dumplings. She liked the two flavors very much.
Eden said, "Victor, let's make more dumplings and send some to Jasper. He likes to eat the dumplings made by me."
"No." Victor refused her immediately. He was very jealous. Why should they make dumplings for him?
"Ha-ha..." Eden laughed out loud, "Victor, even if you are jealous, you have to pretend to be calm, and you can't be looked down upon by others." Victor immediately refuted, "I am not jealous." His face was full of jealousy, so his words were not convincing at all.
Eden said, "Victor, don't be so narrow-minded. Jasper are our friends." Victor glanced at her unhappily. A friend? A friend that wanted to steal his wife?
"No, I don't want him to eat the dumplings made by you." Victor looked unwilling. Anyway, she could only cook for him.
The most beautiful thing in the world was that she was with him all the time.
