Eden nodded with a smile and said, "Dad, I’ll learn from you during this rest period. I’ll grow into someone who is qualified to inherit your position."
"Wow!" Hearing Eden’s words, Zaiden grinned at Jaida and said, "Jaida, is our dream of traveling around the world coming true soon?"
Jaida smiled and glared at him. "Do you want the children to suffer?"
Zaiden replied confidently, "It's okay. Young people have to strive for their goals. We’re old. It's their age now."
"Wow! Eden’s super-rich now! I’m counting on her." Abigail held Zaiden's arm, talking in a cute voice.
Zaiden patted her arm with a smile and pointed to Eden. "Abby, shouldn’t you hold Eden?"
"Yes! But I also want to hold you, Uncle Calder." Abigail was absolutely attractive when being girly.
No man could resist her smile.
Adonis looked at Anson enviously, leaning slightly against Lucian, and said, "Anson is so happy. Look how charming Abigail is."
Lucian glanced at Adonis and pushed him away with his shoulder. "Sit up straight, don't lean on me. I don't like men. Also, Anson hasn't seen Abigail for a very long time. Do you think they're happy? But anyway, Abigail is a good person. Anson is better at judging people than you."
Adonis was speechless. Lucian never forgot to tease him.
However, he had to admit that he was not as good at sizing people up as his friends, not even as good as Brian.
"By the way, I don’t have any news about Brian these days. What’s he doing?" Adonis asked.
Lucian shrugged and answered, "What else can he do? Just busy dating someone. Didn't you say that he had an affair with Melissa? They're now in a romantic relationship. None of your business."
Adonis glanced at him and muttered in a low voice, "Sure it’s not my business. But why have I never met someone who really loves me? I mean, I’m hot too."
Lucian smiled playfully and took a closer look at Adonis, teasing, "Yeah, well, better than that, you can burn people."
Adonis rolled his eyes and didn’t retort. He apparently didn’t want to talk to someone who couldn’t get his charming.
Jaida asked everyone to stay for a celebration dinner. So Abigail, Lucian, and Adonis went to help cook, while Eden went back to her room to rest.
The three kids and Victor followed her to the room on the first floor.
It was a solarium about 100 square meters and was very spacious. Drawing the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Eden saw beautiful roses in the garden. With the spring breeze, there was a faint fragrance in the room, making her feel relaxed.
Eden looked at the kids and said, "Do you like this place?" Compared to their previous house, this one was much bigger.
Giada beamed and nodded. "It’s amazing! We have a big garden and even a lake! And now I have my drawing-room. I can go to the lake to paint. It must be enlightening." Then she turned to her father and smiled, "Thanks, Dad."
