Chapter 1912


    Barrett smiled and pinched her soft waist. Then he kissed her face before saying, "You''re right. I just


    don''t want to give up. When I was abroad, it was the easiest to lure my business partners with


    women. Every man isscivious, right? But I have lost to Victor several times. Now I finally realize


    that there is such a loyal man in this world."


    Dahlia''s eyes darkened. Victor was such a man, so she couldn''t let go of her love for him and lost


    everything.


    She was forced to go abroad, and at this time, she was forced to be with an old man.


    Dahlia asked, "So what are you going to do? Is there anything I can help you with?"


    Barrett lowered his head and looked at her with meaningful eyes. Her words were inexplicably


    familiar.


    Dahlia could do anything for money. The only thing he was sure was that their fate was closely


    linked, and Dahlia would not betray him.


    Barrett stroked her red lips gently. His fingers were stained with her lipstick, and the atmosphere


    was extremely ambiguous.


    Dahlia opened her mouth lightly and took a bite of Barrett''s finger. There was a cigarette smell on


    his finger.


    Barrett shuddered slightly. His pupils trembled, and his eyes became intense. A memory stirred in


    him, and this scene was so familiar.


    He had experienced this feeling when he was young. That woman shared his joy and sorrow, and


    she was the only woman who loved him sincerely.


    Unfortunately, he would never see her charming appearance again.


    That day, he forced Dahlia to have sex with him, because Dahlia looked like her. They were both


    beautiful while bedtime.


    However, Dahlia didn''t love him. But he missed her so much, and he didn''t mind it.


    "You really look like her." Barrett said in a low voice. He seemed to be whispering and telling Dahlia


    that she was just a substitute.


    Dahlia was stunned. She did not understand the meaning of his words.


    "Like who?" Dahlia suddenly spoke.


    Barrett was dumbfounded. He seemed to distracted just now, "Nothing. Go take a bath. After that,


    I''ll bring you out to eat delicious food." Barrett''s voice was very gentle.


    Dahlia was taken aback. He had never been so tender before, but she went to the bathroom


    obediently and waited for him.


    It was past five o''clock in the afternoon, but Jasper hadn''t woken up. Lyric had been staring at


    Jasper, and she fell asleep as well.


    Eden ordered dinner from River City Restaurant for them and waited at the door.


    She had seen the message sent by Victor, but she didn''t want to go back.


    She was very angry. Why should she be punished?


    She begged himst night, but he was unmoved!


    Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she was very tired, but he didn''t stop. She wouldn''t go


    back!


    Eden looked down at her phone. Victor sent her another message, "Honey, when will youe


    back? I''m going to cook."


    "Honey, when I was cutting the fish, my hand was scratched by knife, because I was thinking about


    you." A sticker drawn by Eden was attached.


    Eden was speechless. Couldn''t he be careful?


    He deserved it!


    How could he beg for forgiveness by showing off his misery? When did he learn this? It was


    childish!


    "Honey, I bled a lot."


    He sent her the photo of his bloody finger.


    Eden suspected that he got injured deliberately in order to let her go back.


    She looked at the picture unhappily and remained unmoved.


    When she put the phone back and looked up, she saw a woman who dressed up fashionably. At


    this time, the woman was standing at the door of the ward and looking inside.


    Eden looked at her and asked, "May I ask who you''re looking for?"


    Ansley nced at Eden and said in an arrogant tone, "It''s none of your business."


    Eden stood up and said, "My friends are resting inside. Please don''t disturb them."


    "Friend? Is Lyric your friend?" Ansley looked Eden up and down. Eden''s clothes were not


    expensive, and only her bag looked pretty nice. She knew that Lyric''s friends were all poor.


    Eden nodded without any expression on her face. She disdained to argue with such an impolite and


    impudent person.


    "Lyric just sprained her ankle, didn''t she? I heard that she asked the president of herpany to


    apany her. Doesn''t she feel ashamed to stay with a man in the same room? Mr. Joye is busy.


    How could she be worth of his care?"


    Ansley lowered her voice, for fear that Jasper would hear her. She did not want Jasper to think that


    she was overweening and domineering.


    Eden said coldly, "Whether she is worth of his care or not, it''s none of your business!"


    "Hey, who do you think you are? Lyric is just a poor woman. What right does she have to get Mr.


    Joye''s special attention?"


    Eden was angry. Just as she was about to talk back, she saw the manager of River City Restaurant


    coming over with a dining trolley.


    He looked at Eden with a smile, "Mrs. Alwynn, dinner is here."


    Eden nodded slightly and said, "Lyric will live here for about a week. I''ll have to trouble you to send


    different dishes from River City Restaurant to her every day. Cook whatever she wants to eat for


    her."


    "I see, Mrs. Alwynn. After I go back, I''ll arrange a few chefs for Miss Lamb specially. We''re on her


    call."


    "Thank you. Go back first. Come and get the dinning trolley in the afternoon. It will be more


    convenient." Eden said.


    "Okay. See you, Mrs. Alwynn!" The manager left with a smile. Working overtime to send meals


    meant that he would get double bonus. How could he not be happy?


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The manager''s words came as aplete shock for Ansley.


    It would cost at least ten thousand dors to eat a meal in River City Restaurant. She could only eat


    there by saving money for half a year.


    But Lyric would eat the food everyday. How could it be?


    Lyric didn''t deserve it, did she?


    Eden didn''t bother to argue with Ansley. She pushed the dining trolley into the ward.


    "s, I..." Looking at Eden''s back, Ansley was slightly startled. Who exactly was this woman?


    She followed Eden shamelessly. This was her first time to enter a VIP ward. The facilities inside


    wereplete. It didn''t look like a ward at all, but like a five-star hotel.


    Ansley was so jealous that she wished that she could sleep on the high-end hospital bed as well.


    The sound of the door opening woke up Jasper.


    Seeing Eden, he sat up slowly, rubbed the corner of his eyes and yawned. He was drowsy, but he


    looked at Eden with bright eyes, "Eden, you''re here."


    "Jasper, are you very tired recently? You''ve slept for hours." Eden smiled and said.


    "What? Eden, have you been here for a long time?" Jasper stood up from the chair, feeling much


    more energetic.


    "I''ve been here for two hours, and I was waiting for you two to wake up." Eden nced at Lyric who


    was still sleeping soundly, and she kept talking in a low voice.


    "It''s time for dinner. I asked the manager of River City Restaurant to bring food here. He''ll send


    meals for Lyric everyday."


    "Yo!" Jasper nced at Lyric''s sleeping face. She was quite energetic in the morning, but she was


    deep in sleep at this time.


    "She will be very delighted. She even asked me to treat her before we had a buffet that night!"
