Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 38

Eden took a sip gracefully. She knew very little about red wine. She thought that all red wines tasted the same.

Jasper put on a pair of disposable gloves and looked at Eden with a smile. He picked up a crayfish and peeled it. "Eden, this is your favorite dish."

Jasper directly fed the crayfish into Eden's mouth.

Eden did not shy away from his gesture. She ate the crayfish with a smile.

Victor's eyes slowly turned cold when he saw that.

Their actions were so intimate. Were they really not a couple?

Lucian glanced at Victor without saying anything and ate his food in silence.

Eden also put on a pair of disposable gloves so she could peel the crayfishes herself. She felt that the dish would taste better this way.

"Wow! This is so delicious! I've been a little busy these days, and I didn't have this for a very long time. I love the taste so much. This restaurant is a particularly authentic one," Eden said with a smile.

"Yes. I agree." Jasper smiled as he nodded.

He also ate quickly. It was as if the food would taste better when they were fighting for it. Very soon, they finished a large serving of the crayfish dish.

"Eden, this is the last one. It's mine." Jasper stared at the plate while he peeled a crayfish.

Eden looked upset when she fluttered her eyelashes at him. "Jasper, shouldn't you let me have the last one? You've eaten more than me."

Jasper quickly ate the crayfish he had just peeled and quickly grabbed the last one from the plate. He smiled smugly at Eden.

Eden pouted and her big, bright eyes were filled with sadness.

Jasper could tell that she was faking her sadness. After he peeled the shell of the crayfish, Jasper did not have the heart to eat it. He smiled and placed the peeled crayfish close to Eden's mouth.

Eden smiled happily after she ate the crayfish.

They looked like a loving couple to any outsider.

But to Eden, Jasper was her only confidante.

Both of them had a great dinner.

On the other hand, Victor could not even taste the food because he was feeling upset.

"Eden, do you want to go to the movies?" Jasper took a sip of water and asked.

Eden felt that it was still early. She quickly shook her head. "You can go back and rest, Jasper. I'll visit the nearby houses that are on-sale to see if there are any suitable houses to buy."

Eden was a little worried. Her children were about to start school in two months' time. She had to be quicker.

Jasper got up and said worriedly, "Eden, I'll go with you. You're so naive. I'm afraid someone will scam you."

"Tsk!" Eden glared at him and smiled.

"Then you have to wait for me for a while. I need to use the washroom." Eden got up and handed him her bag.

"Alright." Jasper smiled and reached out to take her bag. He sat down and waited for her.

Eden smiled and left. After she got out of the bathroom...

Eden stood in front of the mirror and washed her hands.

Suddenly, she saw two familiar figures from the bright mirror. Eden did not expect that the world was this small.

So small that she would encounter them on her second day in River City.

The memory from seven years ago suddenly ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

appeared in her mind.

An excruciating pain tore through her heart.

Myra and her mother, Bethany, were still as beautiful and glamorous as before.

Myra, in particular, was more mature and charming than seven years ago.

Eden, who was in great emotional pain, was at a complete loss when she saw them getting closer to her.

She did not have enough courage to face such a malicious pair of mother and daughter.

Eden stared straight at the mother-daughter pair, who were chatting happily, in the mirror.

Suddenly, a shadow cast over her.

Eden cast a sidelong glance and noticed that Victor was standing beside her.

There was not enough time for her to think twice before she quickly stood closer to Victor.

Victor had already seen Eden. He was just about to say something when he noticed her pained expression. Eden suddenly threw herself into his arms, and her action threw him off guard.

"Mr. Alwynn, please, let me hide for a while." Eden's pleading voice sounded a little shaky.
