Chapter 1709


    Victor also saw her and smiled gently.


    Eden opened the door and got in the car. Before Victor could do anything, she fastened her seat


    belt herself.


    "Why did youe here?" Victor nced at all the luxury cars in front of the restaurant. He knew


    that the Simpson family was holding a party tonight.


    A party for theirpany listing.


    Eden smiled and said, "I needed to do something. Have you finished your work?"


    "Yes, the contract was signed pretty smoothly," Victor said softly.


    He already got all the projects that Barrett wanted. Now Barrett''spany was going to be listed in


    River City, the result would be very obvious.


    Victor nced at the door of the restaurant then looked at Eden. His ck eyes shed slightly.


    "Honey, let''s have dinner here." He was a little hungry after a busy day today.


    But what did Edene here for? Doubt flickered in his eyes.


    Eden shook her head slightly and said, "Let''s go home now. I will cook you dinner."


    "Alright. Let''s go home then." Victor was pleased in an instant.


    He smiled and said, "Let''s go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables."


    "Sounds good." Eden nodded, but she was still thinking about what happened earlier. There must


    be someone in thepany who gave her away.


    Could it be Pa?


    After she returned from Lemmon City, Pa was indeed there when she met Karlee.


    However, Pa didn''t have the chance to take photos, and she didn''t believe that Pa had the


    ability to remember every detail of the dress. Then she carefully thought about the ces where


    she had been with the design.


    There were only two ces where her design drafts could be seen. One was in her office, and the


    other one was in the design department.


    When she made the dress, it was impossible for anyone to steal the design. She had asked Thalia


    to send the dress over.


    Thalia didn''t know much about design, so it couldn''t be her.


    Victor was driving the car quietly. The temperature in summer was a bit stuffy even in the evening,


    and the setting sun made the high-rise buildings began to glow.


    Victor could tell that she had something on her mind.


    "Eden, what''s wrong?" His ck eyes shed, hoping she would say it out herself.


    Eden thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember the dress I designed for Karlee?"


    "Yes. What happened?"


    "Today, Carlotta wears an exactly same dress. Karlee wasn''t happy, so she called me, and that''s


    why I came over. The two dresses were indeed exactly the same. Carlotta got the dress from


    Paulina today."


    A trace of coldness shed in Victor''s eyes, and his voice became deeper, "So, your design drawing


    was stolen by someone."


    Eden nodded without saying anything. She had always been very careful to try to avoid something


    like this to happen.


    The purpose of the person who did it was very obvious. Karlee was different from the ordinary


    ladies of aristocratic families. If she wore the same dress like others, her reputation would be


    ruined.


    But that person didn''t know the rtionship between Eden and Karlee.


    If they weren''t close enough, Karlee would have made a scene at the party today.


    And this was exactly what that person wanted.


    "Eden, don''t worry. I''ll ask Lucian to take a look at the CCTV footage."


    Eden said, "No need to bother him. I will figure it out myself. He is busy enough to take care of two


    children."


    Victor nodded and said, "Then I will ask Dean to have a look tomorrow."


    "Alright," Eden nodded slightly.


    After getting some food from the supermarket, they went home together to make dinner.


    Eden was still a little absent-minded while cooking.

    Victor had been paying attention to her movements. When he saw her picking up the sugar instead


    of salt, he frowned and pulled her hand quickly.


    Eden was stunned and looked at him in confusion.


    Victor pointed at the sugar in her hand. "Do you want to eat something sweet?" He said in a deep


    voice, with an unconceble worry. It was rare for her to be so careless.


    It was dangerous for her to be so careless whilst she was cooking.


    Eden was stunned again. What was she thinking earlier? How could she even mix up sugar and


    t?


    Fortunately, she hadn''t put it in yet.


    Victor took the sugar from her hand, turned off the gas, and took her out of the kitchen.


    "Sit down and rest. I''ll make dinner." His voice was very gentle with aforting charm.


    Eden nodded. She was indeed not in a good state.


    "Thank you."


    Victor looked at her with a frown. "I am your husband. You don''t need to thank me."


    Eden smiled. "I''m just used to it."


    Victor didn''t know what to say anymore.


    "You don''t need to be so polite to me. You are my wife, so you can just be yourself in front of me."


    He gently held her shoulders with his hands. He felt she would never remember this no matter how


    many times he said it to her.


    Eden looked up at him. There was worry on his handsome face, and the love he had for her could


    be seen from his eyes.


    She felt a little guilty. She should not have let work issues bother her when she was home.


    "I''m sorry. I''m really not in a good mood today. It''s not because of the fact that the design was


    stolen. Anyway, I feel really down." She couldn''t exin why, but she was in a low mood.


    Maybe she was just too tired.


    Victor sighed helplessly, then bowed his head and kissed her on her forehead. "Wait for me. It won''t


    take me long."


    "Sure," Eden said with a smile.


    But Victor was not at ease. He bent over and gave her a big


    His familiar scent made Eden feel so relieved.


    After a long time, Victor finally went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.


    Eden sat on the sofa, feeling that she didn''t want to do anything.


    She took out her phone and wanted to kill some time, but as soon as she turned it on, a notification


    popped out.


    Miss Woods had a big fight with Dahlia Grant, a famous designer, at a party.


    Eden was stunned and quickly clicked on the news.


    What caught their attention was the video of Karlee pulling May''s hair.


    She could also hear the shouting out of the video, "B*tch, you stole someone else''s design


    draft, but you are still showing it off here. How shameless you are!"


    Eden could tell what made Karlee so angry.


    Dahlia and Carlotta were good friends, so she just wanted Karlee to feel ufortable.


    Dahlia was also very close to the Simpson family, so she must know the rtionship between


    Stephen and Karlee.


    Barrett did want Karlee to get rid of the baby at that time, but Karlee was determined to break up


    with Stephan. Now that the baby was gone, the Simpson family would not easily let go of Karlee.


    Because of this, the cooperation of the two families was ruined as well, so the Simpson family


    surely would not make things easy for Karlee.


    But Karlee was a straightforward person, so she would not hide any emotions. Eden already could


    tell that she was very angry when she was there.
