Chapter 1223
Eden took a close look and found that it was actually Adalynn.
She said, "Kenny, Ricky, you two go in first. I will be back soon."
"Oh! Mom,e in quickly and let''s eat together." Saying this, Henrick walked in with his schoolbag
and looked very happy.
"Okay!" Eden smiled. She didn''t walk to the gate until they entered the house.
Adalynn was standing with her back to the gate. She lowered her head, and it seemed that she was
lost in thought.
Eden had remembered something in her childhood. She knew that Adalynn was not as scheming as
Vincent. She was protected too well by her mother, and she had no definite views of her own. That
was why she had hurt Anson like that.
But seeing her, Eden felt that she had changed a lot.
She dressed casually andfortably. Her hair had returned to its original ck colour and hung
long in the back. She was as pure and beautiful as a graduate.
The sudden change in her life had made her steadier.
"Miss Alwynn." Eden called her indifferently. She seldom talked to Adalynn before, so they were
unfamiliar with each other.
Adalynn was shocked and suddenly turned around to look at Eden. She didn''t expect that Eden
woulde out.
"Eden." She said, but Eden did not respond.
Adalynn smiled and said, "In fact, I always regard Victor as my eldest brother in heart. However,
because of my mother, we..."
Adalynn smiled bitterly and did not finish her words. In her heart, she regarded Eden as her sister-
inw.
Eden knew what she meant, but many things could not be changed, and much harm could not be
made up.
"I heard that you went abroad to study."
"Yeah! It has been almost three years. I came back to see all of you." Adalynn looked at her with a
smile.
Adalynn had be much more confident, and her smile was different from before.
She looked very sincere and had a rosyplexion.
"Victor is at home. Do you want toe in and meet him?" In fact, Eden knew that Victor didn''t hate
Adalynn very much in heart, but he didn''t like her.
Since Adalynn left, he had never mentioned Adalynn''s name, as if there was no such a person in
his life.
Adalynn immediately shook her head, "Eden, there''s no need. Thank you foring out to see me.
I''m sure that Victor doesn''t want to see me. I''m very happy to see that you guys are doing well."
Eden did not force her. She had changed a lot. Her voice was gentle and her eyes were clear, and
she was no longer so selfish and vicious. Moreover, she looked more beautiful.
Eden nced at the road on the left and said, "Dad lives here as well. Let''s go to see him."
Adalynn smiled, "Eden, I had seen him before I came here. He said that he was living a good life
and asked me not to worry about him. I drank a cup of tea with him before leaving. Although he is
not my biological father, in my heart, he is my real father. I grew up under his protection, and I
always remember the love and care he gave me. I''m so d because he was willing to see me."

Eden nodded, "Yeah! Family affection doesn''t only exist in those who are rted by blood. As long
as people care about each other, they''re family."
"That''s right. I didn''t understand this before. I''ve lived abroad for almost three years and I have
understood a lot. In the past three years, I studied on a work-study basis. I went to work in cafes
and restaurants, and I met different people every day. Every time I met someone and
communicated with him, I felt that everyone had his own different story."
"Only then did I realize that I was just an ordinary and insignificant person among people. As long
as I can live in happiness, my life is the best." When Adalynn said this, she looked very confident
and warm.
Seeing that she had changed a lot, Eden was relieved. Everyone would make mistakes.
But as long as people cherished the experience they gained from the mistakes, they could make
their lives better.
Eden wondered if Myra was living a good life.
After she helped her pay the debt, she had no news about her.
"Eden, I''m leaving. Goodbye!"
Eden said, "Bye!"
Adalynn smiled and turned to leave.
Eden looked at her back and then nced at Abigail''s house on the opposite side. Abby and Anson
were not at home.
She watched Adalynn walk away before turning around to go back.
When she turned around, she saw Victor standing at the gate and looking at her.
She quickened her pace and walked over.
Victor reached out to hold her waist and asked softly, "What were you looking at?"
Eden nced at him, "It was Adalynn. She came back. She wanted to see you, but she didn''te
in. Maybe she was afraid that you would be angry."
The expression in Victor''s eyes changed. He was not close to Adalynn. In his impression, Adalynn
seldom talked to him. Sometimes, she lowered her head and didn''t dare to look at him after greeting
him.
Perhaps it was because of Reba and his brother, he had never been friendly to Adalynn, and
she was afraid of him all the time.
"She has stayed aboard for several years. I don''t know if she has changed." Victor''s tone was
nd. If Eden didn''t mention Adalynn, he would have almost forgotten her.
He didn''t like Adalynn, and he regarded her as a stranger because she and Reba once hurt
Anson.
"She has changed a lot. After experiencing those things, she has be much maturer. Her dress
and temperament arepletely different from before. Now she looks much prettier than she was
three years ago. Her smile is sincerer, and she understands the true meaning of life." This was
Eden''s real feeling.
Victor looked down at her and smiled. Seeing the gentle smile on her face, he smiled more brightly,
"Since she has be a better person, I hope that she will get her own happiness. We used to be
brother and sister, but we''re not close to each other. I can only wish her happiness."
Eden did not speak. After all, what Victor had suffered was severer than ordinary people could
imagine.
Adalynn walked aimlessly all the way. The weather was getting cold, and the breeze was quite
chilly.
The winter in River City was very beautiful. She wanted toe backst winter, but she endured
it.
What could she do if she came back?
She had many bad memories in this city, and her beloved man had be disabled because of
her.
She walked into a coffee shop. The music in the cafe was very rxing. It was her favorite song.
She liked this song very much. She didn''t understand the meaning of the lyrics until she fell in love
with Anson.
"Once... Doesn''t mean anything to me."
"Come... Show me the meaning ofplete."
"Where... Did our love go wrong."
She memorized the lyrics after listening to the song for three times. Normally, she wouldn''t
remember lyrics deliberately. It was the first song she could memorize.
She ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window, listening to the song quietly.
