Chapter 1623


    "I..." Pa had no idea how to exin. If she said that she did it for money, Eden would look down


    on her more. But at this time, the elevator door suddenly opened.


    "I... have a lot of work to deal with, or you''ll have to work overtime tonight." Pa stood up and ran


    out of the elevator.


    Eden narrowed her eyes and looked at her back coldly, not following her out.


    She walked out of the elevator and saw Thalia not far away.


    "Thalia, check what Pa has done recently. She seems to be short of money. A few days ago,


    Dean told me that she moved to a very high-end department. Investigate whether she she bought or


    rented that house."


    "Okay, Mrs. Alwynn. I will give you an answer afternoon." Thalia turned around and left.


    Only then Eden return to her office.


    Victor came back earlier than her. Seeing here in, he smiled, "Eden, you''re done with your


    work. Are you hungry? Let''s have lunch."


    Eden put the documents on the desk, "I have an appointment with Jasper. Have lunch on your


    own."


    Victor''s face darkened instantly. He knew that Jasper came back to make him feel depressed.


    "Let Lucian apany you for lunch." Eden could tell that he was dissatisfied.


    "No, I''ll eat in the office alone." When he had lunch together with Lucian, only the sound of eating


    could be heard. They had nothing to talk about. Instead, he would be angered by Lucian.


    "It''s up to you!" Eden said and began to pack up the things on the table.


    Victor was speechless. Was she going to abandon him?


    Looking at Eden''s unconcerned face, Victor felt very bitter in heart.


    He silently picked up his phone and ordered takeout. Eden left without saying a word to him, and his


    face darkened more.


    Victor took his phone and dialed Dean''s number.


    On the first day of work in the new year, Dean was very busy.


    Answering the phone call, he smiled and said, "Mr. Alwynn, happy new year!"


    "It''s already the eighth day of the new year! Let the bodyguards be more careful. Eden has gone


    out."


    Dean swallowed and looked at the red dot on anotherputer. It was a dangerous ce where


    there were people from the Simpson family.


    "Mr. Alwynn... where did Mrs. Alwynn go?" Compared to his work, he felt that Eden was more


    important. If something bad happened to her, he had to spend more effort and be busier.


    "River City Restaurant."


    "Ah..." Dean was startled. Barrett''s bodyguards were in River City Restaurant as well.


    "What''s wrong with you?" Victor''s tone was very impatient, and he was annoyed to the extreme.


    "It''s okay, Mr. Alwynn. I''ll have someone protect Mrs. Alwynn in secret."


    "Okay!" Victor hung up the phone and sat on the sofa angrily.


    At the same time, Dean ran out hurriedly with Thalia.


    Why did Jasper want to meet Eden in River City Restaurant?


    Victor didn''t want to care much about their rtionship. After all, Jasper really treated Eden as his


    family.


    "Rat-a-tat..."


    "Come in." Victor''s expression returned to normal.


    He got up and saw Lucian walking in with lunch boxes.


    Victor felt like he got a p in the face. Just now, he said that he didn''t want to eat with Lucian, but


    he came in with lunch boxes.


    "I saw Eden go out. You haven''t eaten lunch yet, and you ordered takeout, so I came here for free


    meal." Lucian walked to the table, put down the lunch boxes, sat down and started to eat.


    Victor walked over casually.


    "You''re quite observant. I didn''t see you in thest few days. Did youe back yesterday?" Victor


    sat opposite him and ate the rice, but he had no appetite.


    "Alright!" Lucian nodded indifferently.


    "Did you go to find Amelia?" Victor touched his sore spot.


    Lucian paused and looked up at him. In the end, he nodded.


    "I can tell from your expression that you failed."


    Lucian was stunned.


    "Can you focus on your meal?"


    "I am having my meal." Victor nced at him ndly, "So, you were very happy that night because


    you got the news about Amelia."


    "Yeah!" Lucian did not deny it. He did not have many friends whom he could share confidences


    with. Moreover, he liked to keep things in mind and rarely shared them with others.


    "She texted me that night, but I haven''t found her whereabouts. The only thing I''m sure is that she is


    still in this country."


    After that, he lowered his head and ate again.


    Victor looked up at him slowly, "As long as she''s still in this country, you can find her sooner orter.


    Eden told me that with Amelia''s character, she won''t go back to you easily. She gave you all her


    love, and she only hopes that you can have a good life. She would rather watch you far away than


    show up in front of you."


    Lucian stopped eatingpletely. He looked at Victor and said madly, "So, they women are all


    heartless."


    These words... sounded so familiar.


    Victor touched his nose and said lightly, "I said the same thing to Eden."


    "She is more heartless to you. She had left you for more than ten years."


    "Lucian, you''re wrong. Is this the same thing? Eden was still young at that time." Victor argued. He


    got his retribution so fast. Why did he mention Amelia all of a sudden? Couldn''t he just eat?


    Eden arrived at River City Restaurant and went to the private box reserved by Jasper.


    Jasper was still so handsome. He was wearing a blue suit, and there were wisps of hair on his


    forehead. He looked younger and more charming.


    "Eden, here you are. Have a seat." Jasper pulled out a chair for her to sit down in a gentlemanly


    way.


    Eden smiled, "Have you waited for a long time?"


    "I arrived just now. I''ve ordered your favorite dishes. If you want to eat anything else, we can order


    again." Jasper sat down next to her.

    "It''s okay. I''m not very hungry. I''m just a little tired."


    "On the first day of work in the new year, there are always a lot of things to deal with. You''re indeed


    tired." Jasper poured her a cup of warm water thoughtfully.


    Eden smiled gratefully, picked up the cup and took a sip, "I''ve been busy these days. I haven''t


    asked you whether your work is going well in Lemmon City."


    Jasper smiled slightly. His smile was always so pure and warm, just like the sunshine, "Not bad. I


    met those old clients every day. You know some of them. We''ve cooperated with each other for


    many years, and we know each other well."


    "That''s good!" Eden was relieved. She came out to chat with him.


    The dishes were soon served. They ate while chatting happily.


    When they were about to finish the meal, Jasper looked at her seriously, "Eden, I have heard about


    the Simpson family. Are you all right? If you need anything, just tell me." He asked her toe out


    because of this matter.


    "I''m fine. Nothing bad has happened. Jasper, don''t worry about me. I am safe now, and I can protect


    myself."


    Eden didn''t want him to worry about her all the time. Over the years, Jasper spent half of his time on


    her. She had been guilty, and she only hoped that he could get his happiness as soon as possible.
