Chapter 463


    When Victor heard her question, he sneaked a look at his mother instead of Eden.


    Jaida''s expression grew slightly solemn. She lowered her head, not saying anything.


    Victor looked at her and was sure his mother had known.


    He looked at Gia and said with a smile, "Sweetie, I told you that after I marry your mother, I will be


    your father."


    Eden frowned at Victor. How could he say that in front of Gia?


    She nced at her and saw her smiling sweetly. The words that came to her lips were instantly


    swallowed back.


    Jasper was angered when he heard that. "Victor, why are you lying to Gia?"


    Although he was Aunt Jaida''s son, their rtionship was just so-so.


    Eden was a clean-hearted and simple person. She lived afortable life.


    There was a saying that men were responsible for conquering the world, while women only needed


    to conquer men.


    Eden had conquered Jasper without doing anything.


    He wouldn''t give up until all hope was gone.


    Victor looked at him and said with a smile, "Why do you think I lied to Gia?"


    "You..." Jasper frowned as he red at him. He felt choked and could not speak.


    He had been watching Victor''s love for Eden the whole time.


    He took a look at Eden, whom he had been guarding all the time. Why couldn''t she give him a


    chance?


    Jasper''s heart was filled with bitterness.


    Giada kept silent. Actually, she did like Mr. Alwynn to be her father.


    But it was all up to his mother.


    "Mom, it hurts!" Giada sobbed softly.


    Hearing this, Eden pursed her red lips tightly. She smiled, "Baby, close your eyes and sleep. When


    you fall asleep, it won''t hurt anymore."


    Giada nodded slightly andplied with her mother''s advice.


    Eden let out a sigh of relief. She had never expected this kind of incident today would happen


    to her.


    But what about Haven? In order to frame her, Haven had used all sorts of intrigues and wiles. She


    had even paid the price of her own child''s life. In the end, she would bepletely defeated.


    The evidence in Eden''s hands was enough to make her suffer a crushing defeat.


    Although Eden was born into a poor family and had no parents, she had already learned how to


    protect herself.


    The ward fell into silence.


    Victor looked at his daughter in distress, and his heart was in pain.


    Jaida looked at him and said, "Victor, let''s talk outside."


    Victor nced at her and nodded slightly.


    He followed her out silently.


    They took the elevator to the garden on the first floor.


    The garden was nted with camphor trees, and a faint fragrance was drifting around.


    Looking at her son''s tall and strong figure, Jaida felt extremely gratified.


    Back then, when Reba had entered the Alwynn family, she had suffered all kinds of humiliation,


    but


    Phillip had been looking on coldly as a bystander.


    In the end, Reba had forced her to leave, threatening to hurt Victor and Gracie.


    Jaida looked at her son with a guilty face. "Victor, I''m sorry. I brought you and Gracie a lot of pain.


    I was too cowardly at that time."


    Fortunately, her two children had grown up very well.

    Victor looked at his mother quietly and thought of his childhood. During that time, he had lost both


    his mother and Eden. He did have lived a very miserable life.


    Andter, Gracie had been sent abroad by his father. He had felt that he was left all alone.


    Loneliness had been drowning him all the time.


    Whether it was in the past or now, when he was alone, he would be tortured by loneliness, unable


    to extricate himself.


    He looked at his mother, who looked much older than he had remembered.


    His handsome face slowly cracked into a smile, "Mom, I am sorry. At that time, I was too young to


    protect you."


    If he had got the ability to protect his mother back then, she would not have been forced away.


    His mother was not weak, but she was too kind.


    At that time, she could have chosen to fall out and argue with the Alwynn family to the end, but she


    had decided to leave silently.


    In her heart, perhaps it would be better for him and his sister to stay with their father. He hadn''t


    understood this untilter.


    Jaida suddenly burst into tears, "Don''t you me me for leaving you..."


    Victor interrupted her with augh, "You hadn''t gone far. Every year on our birthdays, you sent us


    gifts. You were secretly watching us grow up."


    "Mmm!" Jaida nodded and said in a tearful voice, "I had been hiding in River City until eight years


    ago. I didn''t leave here and go to Gate City until


    you and Gracie had grown up. I wanted to start a new life, but I found that I had too many things


    to care about.


    One day, I felt I need some distraction, so I went to the riverside. People passing by looked so


    happy.


    They were couples or families, but only I was all alone. I don''t know what I was thinking then, but I


    turned around and jumped into the river.


    Eden happened to see everything. At that time, she just woke up from aa due to a car ident


    and went for a walk there.


    She ran desperately to me, shouting for help.


    Finally, a man dragged me up. I had failed tomit suicide..."


    When Jaida said that, she wiped away her tears and bit her lip tightly.


    Every time thinking about the past, she would feel such pain.


    Hearing this, Victor couldn''t believe that his mother would have intended to take her own life.


    He hadn''t expected she and Eden to meet each other in this way.


    Victor did not speak and looked at his mother quietly. Unconsciously, tears rolled down his cheeks,


    and his whole body tensed up involuntarily.


    Jaida went on saying, "Eden and I had sat by the river for a night. We talked a lot. Finally, we found


    that we were both homeless.


    Eden took me back to her rented apartment. Later, I found that we were very congenial, and it was I


    who proposed that Eden should be my daughter.


    Three yearster, when I was doing cleaning at home, I came across your watch and the bespoke


    ring I had given to you. I asked Eden and knew that you were the kids'' father.


    Victor, do you know? Eden almost died because of you. She looks strong, but she has a fragile soul.


    Fortunately, over the years, Jasper and Abby have been by her side. You know Jasper''s feelings for


    Eden."


    Hearing this, Victor was quite dissatisfied. He asked with a bitter face, "Mom, who is your son?"


    Jaida smiled through tears, "During these years, Eden, Jasper, Abby, and I, we have been living


    together all the time. Jasper has always taken good care of us. I am a grateful person. On this


    matter, I don''t want any of you to get hurt."
