After saying that, she laughed out. But Eden still remained emotionless.
Verena frowned and continued, "A stag kept running on a road. And he ran faster and faster. Then he got on a highway!"
While speaking, she couldn't help laughing loud again. Even tears started to surge up in her eyes.
When seeing that, Eden just smiled, "Is it that funny?"
When hearing that, Verena bit her lips hard and pretended to be reticent, "A wolf shouted to a little lamb, 'I gotta eat you alive!' And guess what happened then!"
She still pretended to be reticent and said seriously, "Then the wolf really ate the lamb alive!" Then she burst into laughter again!
Finally, Eden smiled and laughed with her.
Verena laughed so loud that she couldn't even stop her tears. It took her quite a while to stop. While wiping her own tears, she looked at Eden, "Come on, you are so taciturn! You even made me present my trump joke!"
At this moment, Eden's phone rang.
He looked at her while smiling and then picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Have you finished shooting? What are you doing now?" a sweet female voice sounded.
"Not yet! I am driving a friend home. Do you have dinner on time?" his voice sounded tender.
"Of course! I really miss you! Don't forget to miss me! Since you are driving now, I won't disturb you. Call me back later! Bye, honey!"
"Okay, bye, honey! Do remember to drink more water!"
Verena was listening beside. When he hung up the phone, Verena blinked her eyes and asked, "Is that your mom?"
Eden smiled, "It's my girlfriend."
When hearing that, Verena seemed to be frozen. Her heart felt like being stung and it even started to spread, "You have a girlfriend?"
"Are you surprised?" Eden smiled at her. He still looked warm as usual.
Verena forced out a smile, "No. You are so excellent. It would only surprise me if you didn't have a girlfriend."
Then she pointed out of the window, "There is a bus stop. Just park on the roadside. I don't want the shooting to be retarded because of me."
As the car stopped, she soon unbuckled the safety belt and jumped off the car. Then she smiled brightly at him, "Eden, bye! Be careful while driving! Wish your work to be done soon! Thank you for what you have done today!"
"Well, take care!" Eden smiled at her warmly. He didn't leave until he stared at her for a while.
Verena got on the bus and looked outside the window, silent. Her smile looked a bit bitter and her fingertips turned to be cold. She gasped and hugged herself tight with both arms. She kept repeating to herself, "It's okay. It's okay, Verena."
Now she had no choice to chase after the one she loved. For her, love was nothing but a luxury. She couldn't afford it!
What was more, Eden was such an excellent one. She didn't deserve to be his girlfriend.
When Verena arrived at the Lawson Mansion, the dinner was well served with all kinds of Chinese and Western dishes. While Wilson was sitting on the host seat but the rest seats all remained empty.
She bit her lips hard to hold back her mixed feelings. Then she asked surprisedly, "Where is Sammy?"
"The butler took him to study calligraphy." Wilson pointed at the seat beside, "Sir, you look awful. Are you feeling sick?"
