Chapter 12
Abigail looked at Eden Bleu and said with a charming smile, "Eden, we will go back to Gate City tomorrow. There's a director who wants Ricky to audition for a role, so I'll have to bring Ricky there. They will certainly finish filming before Ricky’s semester starts."
Eden looked at her son with worry and said, "Ricky, don't be too tired. Be good and listen to your grandmother. I'll come back in a month's time."
Henrick looked at his mother with bright eyes. His voice was sweet and melodious. "Mum, don't worry about us. All three of us will be good."
Eden nodded with relief.
Abigail raised her eyebrow slightly and looked at Eden in annoyance. "Eden, don't you worry. You have me. I'm also Kenneth, Ricky, and Gia’s mummy. I’ll take good care of them. You can just focus on your job. The Gienger family has been selling their company's shares because their company is not doing well in the past few years. I’ll also buy some of their shares to help you."
Jasper, who was being ignored for a while, said with displeasure, "Eden, don't forget about me. I'll also keep an eye on the Gienger family’s shares and buy
them whenever I have the chance."
Eden looked gratefully at them.
They were the people whom Eden owed the most in her entire life.
"Jasper, thank you!" Eden looked at Jasper gratefully.
"Aren't we a family? Why do you have to say thank you? Let’s go! I'll send you back to your apartment."
Jasper volunteered to take care of Eden, and he had been taking care of her for seven years.
Abigail also said, "Then I'll take Ricky back to the hotel first. We have a flight to catch in the morning. Eden, you don’t have to send us off."
"Alright!" Eden squatted down and kissed her son on his forehead. She was very reluctant to part with her son. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Goodbye, mum!" Henrick was reluctant to leave, but his mother would feel uneasy if she was unable to go to work.
"Goodbye!" Eden waved to her son and Abigail.
She then left with Jasper.
The company had given Eden a bachelor pad, which was located in Crimson Capital Community right behind the company building.
Jasper waited downstairs until the lights of Eden's apartment were turned on. He then turned around and left with a smile.
Eden was going to stay here for a month. As there was also a branch office of Joye Group in River city,
Jasper also decided to have a month-long business trip here.
He turned around and looked at the fifth floor's window. Her beautiful figure was silhouetted against the window. He smiled faintly and left.
Eden stayed on the fifth floor of the apartment.
The apartment was not big, but it was spacious enough for her. She drew the beige curtains.
The window was wide. She could see the cityscape of River City from the sofa. The neon lights shone into the room through the French windows and lit up the apartment.
She stood in front of the French windows with her arms crossed. She was in this familiar city again after seven years.
She could not help but recall the incident that night. She was suddenly overwhelmed with indescribable and sharp pain.
The night from seven years ago was like a lingering nightmare. She could see every scene clearly in her mind.
People said time could heal everything.
But the pain in her heart was still so vivid after seven years.
Every time she was in pain, she realized that the shame and agony from that night were already etched onto her soul.
At the same time, she was hoping that she could find her biological parents here.
Now that she had become a mother, so she knew how precious children were to their mothers. Were her parents looking for her as well?
