Chapter 42


    The next day was the weekend. Eden nned to sleep in until nine o''clock before she woke up.


    She decided to look for houses after she had her breakfast.


    But she forgot to turn off her rm, so the rm woke her up at eight o''clock in the morning


    instead.


    She got out of bed grudgingly. After she did her morning routine, she changed into her sportswear


    as she wanted to go for an hour-long morning jog.


    Even though she was naturally slim and had a high metabolism, she would still insist on going for a


    morning jog if she had some spare time.


    If she had time, she would also wrestle to strengthen her weak physique.


    She was much healthier than she was seven years ago.


    When she was in Gate City, she would bring her children and her mother out to exercise in the


    morning during the weekend. The time spent together with her family was blissful and unforgettable.


    Eden got out of her apartment. Her phone started ringing when she went downstairs.


    Eden looked at her phone screen and realized her mother was calling her. With a happy smile,


    Eden answered the call and said in a sweet voice, "Mom!"


    "Eden, I thought you''ll sleep in on weekends."


    Eden could not hold back her smile. She grumbled, "That was my initial n, but I forgot to turn off


    my rm. I''m going out for a run now."


    "It''s good for you to do some exercise. You have to take good care of yourself now that you''re on


    your own in River City. Don''t worry about Kenny and Gia, they''re fine. Abigail came and picked up


    Ricky again to his event today. You don''t have to worry about any one of them. Take your time to


    look for a house too.


    I still have some savings with me, so if you don''t have enough money to buy a house with a good


    location, I''m able to chip in."


    Eden was very touched when she heard that.

    "Mom, how can I ask you to pay for the house? I''ve umted some savings over the years, and


    I have some shares too. I believe I can afford to buy a house for all five of us to live in."


    "You are my daughter, of course I want to help you. Eden, listen to me. It''s useless for me to keep


    the money to myself since I''m already have you now.


    You must choose a house that is nearby a school, so it''s more convenient to fetch the children to


    school."


    Eden noticed that her mother sounded a little unhappy, so sheughed. "Mom, I''ll definitely let you


    know if I don''t have enough money."


    "That''s right. Take care of yourself. Once you find a house, I''ll bring the three children to River City."


    Her mother''s loving voice had always warmed Eden''s heart.


    The two of them chatted for a while before they ended the call.


    Eden''s eyes lit up as she smiled. She looked extremely happy after the phone call.


    She ran along the river behind the neighborhood. There were very little cars on the road, and there


    were a lot of people jogging along the river.


    She had lived in River City for more than ten years. Even though seven years had passed, she was


    still very familiar with every nook and cranny of River City.


    Her lips curved into a faint smile as she ran forward. Her beautiful figure stood out from the rest of


    the joggers.


    Victor also had the habit of going for a morning run. His mansion was not too far away from the


    company building, and he would have his morning run on the weekends too.


    What took him by surprise was his encounter with Eden.


    His eyes became colder after he recalled the incident the day before, where she left without saying


    goodbye to him.


    Victor wanted to ignore her initially, but when he was about to pass by her, he could not help but to


    stop before Eden.


    Eden suddenly saw Victor. Her heartbeat sped up when she recalled what happened on the


    previous day. Her footsteps stopped abruptly as she looked at Victor nervously.


    Victor''s face was as cold as usual, but his eyes were staring straight at her. His eyes were devoid of


    any warmth.


    Eden was already used to Jasper''s gentleness and friendliness. Hence, she was not used to Victor,


    who was cold and callous. Victor''s cold, merciless re made her feel as if she hadmitted a


    terrible crime.


    Victor did not utter a word. The atmosphere between them was extremely awkward. Eden could not


    stand such awkwardness, so she said with a faint smile, "Mr. Alwynn, you''re having your morning


    run?"
