Hearing this, Victor was discomposed slightly. Looking at Eden's pale face and frustrated expression, which was rare in her face, he realized that she was jealous. Seeing his ambiguous behavior with another woman, she must feel very upset.
Thinking of this, a sense of joy flashed in his heart.
"Eden, believe me." Victor looked at her quietly with his bright eyes. His previous cold expression disappeared, leaving only tenderness.
Eden did not answer. Instead, she looked at Paulina on the ground and said with a smile, "Miss Clark, do you want me to call an ambulance for you?"
Hearing Eden's words, Paulina's face distorted with fury and embarrassment as if he had been caught cheating on the spot.
She forced a smile and glanced at Victor, who was still looking at Eden, and said, "I'm fine, thanks. I have something to talk about with Victor. We want to cooperate with him." She was not confident and looked extremely embarrassed because she was pushed to the ground.
Victor glanced at Paulina coldly and said nothing.
Instead, he looked at Eden and said, "Eden, let's go."
Eden looked back at him with complaints. It was not gentlemanly to act like this.
Even if he hated Paulina, he could not leave her alone.
Therefore, she bent down and helped Paulina up, which making Paulina's face extremely ugly. "Thank you!" She said unwillingly.
Noticing her dark and ugly expression, Eden just smiled and said nothing.
She knew Victor well, so she believed him.
Paulina’s provocative gaze made her suddenly understand that Paulina let her see such a scene on purpose to make her misunderstand Victor. Only in this way, Paulina could take advantage of the misunderstanding between her and Victor.
Paulina had always wanted to entice her to work for their company and was very enthusiastic about her. However, after meeting Victor, Paulina's attitude towards her completely changed, and she looked like she had never seen her before.
Therefore, she knew Paulina' s scheming clearly.
"Never mind! Miss Clark, Miss Clement asked me to meet here just now. I know you' re good friends. Can you tell her that I have to leave first?" Eden said with a smile. She was here for Victor, but Haven sent her a text message and asked her to meet here.
Hearing Eden's words, Victor's expression suddenly turned cold.
It was Haven again.
Paulina's face was drained of color all of a sudden. Eden's words were like an invisible slap in her face.
The surrounding was full of coldness. She looked up at Victor and saw his horrible expression. His eyes were like an icy sword, making the surrounding extremely cold.
She could only brace herself and replied, "Okay".
Eden sneered slightly. She glanced at Paulina and warned herself in her heart, "Don't waste the kindness on those unrelated people."
"Bye, Miss Clark," Eden said indifferently.
Then she turned around and looked at Victor with a smile, "Let's go!"
Seeing her smile, Victor's eyes grew even darker. Normally, he would have been very happy, but now...
"OK!" He responded in a slight voice.
Looking at his unusual reaction, Eden reached out her hand to hold his arm and said calmly, "I want to eat pork ribs."
Victor was stunned, "What?"
It was not lunchtime.
Why would she want to eat now?
Feeling that Eden loosed her arm, Victor's eyes dimmed.
He whispered, "Eden..."
"I believe you." Eden looked at the man's gloomy expression and blurted out.
But she did not regret it. If Paulina did not look at her like that, she would not think Victor was wronged.
Hearing this, Victor's frowned eyebrows instantly smoothed out.
However, Eden was a little depressed. They were not a couple. Why would she say that?
But it didn't seem right either.
"Victor, is our relationship turn romantic?" When she saw his reassured expression, she felt even more depressed.
How did she end up losing her temper in front of him?
Eden tried to persuade herself in heart, "This’s because he also showed his tenderness to me."
Victor smiled slightly. "Honey, we’ve been in a romantic relationship for a long time. I want to accompany you to do many things you want to do. We go to the beach to see the sunset, to eat in the restaurant by the sea, to play guitar together, and to eat cotton candy with me..."
Victor said slowly one by one. Life had changed so much, but he had never forgotten the dreams of Eden.
Eden suddenly looked at him in shock. Did she tell him these when she was young? And he still remembered?
Eden was moved and couldn't say a word. She just looked at Victor quietly.
It was said that a man who really cared about and loved you would remember every word you said. And Victor was like this. He could remain calm and steady in every situation, but when Eden got into trouble, he would be flurried. Wherever Eden was, his eyes would follow her.
