Victor held her in his arms, bowed his head and kissed her forehead, "Honey, since you are tired, just sleep. Don't think about these things."
"But I think it's somewhat strange." Eden looked at him with big eyes and felt wronged again.
Victor couldn't bear to look at her aggrieved eyes.
"Then tell me. What's strange?" His voice became softer and softer.
Eden thought for a moment and said, "Didn't her father say that she always talked on the phone mysteriously?"
"So?" Was Eden suspicious of this?
"So, would she cooperate with Barrett?" Eden spoke the doubt in her mind.
Victor took her words seriously. Since Barrett made a scene in the company, he had become much quieter.
But he knew that Barrett would not stop.
He must be secretly preparing to deal with him.
"I have asked Brian to investigate the relationship between Edith and the Simpson family. We can wait for his answer. Don't think too much now."
"Really? Am I thinking too much? I'm just worried that Barrett will use the people around you to target me, and then you'll aim at them. In this way, you'll offend everyone you know in River City, won't you?"
They had defeated all of Barrett's helpers. Wouldn't Barrett deal with them in the same way?
She was worried that this old fox would ruin Victor's reputation bit by bit.
He would use everything he could make use of to deal with Victor.
"What's more, Paulina has become his lover, hasn't she? She has become smart now. We haven't investigated and affixed her responsibility for stealing the design drafts, because we think it's useful to keep her. But Paulina is very familiar with your contacts. She knows your friends and know how to use them to deal with you. Have you ever thought about this?" Eden was a little worried. After all, Barrett was a cunning man.
Moreover, Paulina was helping him. They wouldn't live in peace recently.
She had been very careful, and she did not want to cause trouble for Victor.
After all, he had been very busy during this period of time, and her heart ached for him.
However, she brought him a lot of trouble every time.
"I've thought about it. Honey, Barrett can't hurt me with such small tricks. Don't worry." As long as she was safe and sound, he would be fearless.
Eden looked at his careless expression, feeling that she had said everything in vain.
Forget it. As long as he knew this.
Eden thought for a while and decided to sleep.
Just as she was about to close her eyes, Edith's words flashed through her mind. She frowned again and said, "Victor, let me ask you a question."
Looking at her frown, Victor was a little nervous and felt that her question had something to do with him.
"Go ahead."
Eden moved her body slightly and looked into his calm eyes, "Was it because of guilt or love that you married me?"
Victor was stunned. He knew it.
But he was so sad because she suspected his love.
Victor suddenly looked very serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Eden, ask your own heart." If she couldn't feel his love for her, he had nothing to say.
Victor looked at her with dark and brooding eyes. His face was solemn.
Eden shrank back. She was really an idiot. How could she ask such a question in such an atmosphere?
However, as a woman, sometimes she felt insecure. She really took Edith's words to heart.
"Okay." Eden kept nodding. How could she doubt Victor like this?
Victor said with a smile, "Does the wound hurt?"
Eden immediately shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore, especially after you kiss me."
"Ha-ha..." Victor's deep and pleasant laughter echoed in the room.
"Fool, you know what? Every time I see your smile, I feel like I am enjoying a cup of sweet wine. As long as you are happy, I feel that everything I have done is worthwhile."
"At the same time, I feel guilty. Whenever you leave my sight, you get into trouble, and I'm not by your side when you have an accident. You don't know that I actually want to tie you around me."
"Sorry, Victor, I don't want to make trouble for you." She hoped that their life would be peaceful. How could she want such bad things to happen all the time?
"You say such words again." Victor looked at her helplessly.
Eden could only blink her innocent eyes and look at him.
"Just sleep." Victor coaxed her softly.
Eden breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes to rest.
Each family had its own problems. Sometimes, the disputes between husband and wife had something to do with others' instigating words. She had to learn a lesson from it.
Eden reflected on herself in heart.
She had to solve all the problems together with Victor.
Seeing that she fell asleep soon, Victor smiled helplessly.
It was four o'clock in the morning when Lucian woke up.
