As Lucian was coming, Victor took out the dumplings in the refrigerator.
Lucian liked the dumplings made by Eden.
As soon as Victor started boiling the water, some voices came from the living room.
He turned around and saw Eden was walking out of their bedroom with her pajamas.
"Eden, you are up." He walked quickly towards her, worrying that she would trip over as she still looked half asleep.
Only when his hands reached hers, did his heart finally feel relieved.
"Why don't you sleep longer if you are still tired? It's very dangerous to walk out like that." It sounded like he was telling her off, but his eyes were still looking very gentle.
Eden looked at him in a daze, then leaned against his chest and said softly, "I had a nightmare."
Victor stroked her hair gently. He liked it when he felt that she needed him. "Don't worry. I'm here."
His voice was so deep and gentle and captivating, making Eden feel much secured.
She rubbed her face on his chest and said, "I missed you."
Hearing her words, Victor couldn't help buy hug her tightly.
"Lucian is coming over now." He knew what she wanted, but he had to say no for the first time.
"Alright." Eden looked quite disappointed. She raised her head and blinked her beautiful eyes at him. "I thought we could spend some time together this weekend, because I'm going to Lemmon City next Monday."
Victor's heart tightened. He lowered his head and kissed her lips passionately for a long time. That d*mned Lucian. Why had he come today?
"I'm going to wash up." Eden turned to the bathroom slowly with a flushed face.
Victor smiled gently. Seeing that she was much better, he finally turned around and went back to the kitchen.
When the dumplings were ready, Lucian also arrived. He also brought Eden her favorite strawberry cake.
Eden had already washed up and came out. She put on a pink hoodie and a pair of black casual pants, and her hair was pulled up into a ponytail. Her face still looked so young, as if she was a university student.
She smiled brightly at Lucian and said, "Hey, how are you? How could you get this cake so early on a Saturday?"
Strawberry cake instantly drew all her attention.
"It's a new bakery just opened recently. I saw it on my way here, so I bought a strawberry cake. I know you like it," Lucian said slowly, looking more chilled than usual.
"Thank you! The dumplings are ready now. Come and join us." Eden picked up the chopsticks and handed them to him.
"Thank you!" Lucian smiled.
Victor got up and put the cake into the refrigerator.
However, Eden wasn't very happy because the only thing she could think of at this moment was the cake.
So she cast an angry gaze on Victor.
Victor knew what she was thinking.
"You should have the porridge now. We can have the cake in the afternoon."
"Alright." Eden took the porridge slowly and started eating it quietly.
She still felt a little angry in her heart, but she couldn't show it.
At this time, Lucian saw it and couldn't help but giggle.
"Eden, has he got anything on you?"
He also knew them so well.
Eden raised her head slowly and said, "No."
"Then why do you look so guilty?"
"Finish it. I thought you liked the dumplings I made?"
Lucian wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the right words to say.
So he could only nod silently.
Victor did not say anything anymore, so Eden decided to change the topic.
"Lucian, did you check the CCTV of that strange man last night? I saw the CCTV, it should be able to capture his face."
Lucian said, "I've already got the footage, but I haven't had time to have a look. I was too hungry to do anything this morning. I didn't sleep last night and I'm not even tired."
"You didn't sleep last night? How can you not feel tired?" Eden was surprised.
It reminded her of the time when Amelia just left, Lucian worked so hard and didn't sleep much either.
However, it was better to work hard than to feel depressed all the time.
"I'm not tired. I haven't been sleeping well for a while now," Lucian said as he lowered his head slightly.
Eden looked at his pale face and realized the dark circles under his eyes.
"Why?" Eden was confused. Was he still thinking of Amelia?
At this time, Victor said, "He always dream of seeing a snake."
Hearing this, Eden was even more confused.
Eden thought for a while and said, "I remember when I was pregnant, I used to dream of snakes a lot, as well as when I forgot about the payday."
"What about when I gave you the money?" Victor asked.
Eden smiled and said, "I'd dream of many pears."
However, Lucian only looked at Eden's face and couldn't laugh. He had many things that he wanted to say, but he didn't know where to start.
