Chapter 22
After Victor hung up the phone, he paced back and forth irritably in the office.
After a while, he quickly walked to the safe next to his desk, entered the password, and opened the safe.
He quickly took out a stack of photos.
He put the first few photos aside and revealed a photo of him holding the six-year-old Eden Clement.
Eden's tiny arms were wrapped around his neck.
The mole on the back of her hand was in the same position as Eden Bleu.
Victor gulped. He felt as if his heart would jump out of his chest from excitement.
Could she be his Eden?
Could Eden Bleu be the girl he had been looking for more than ten years?
Victor sat on the ground with the photo in his hand. He frowned.
He had a feeling that his Eden had returned.
His deep-set eyes stared at the young girl in the photo without blinking. His thoughts drifted away while he stared at this photo.
The young girl in the photo had a very bright smile. Her brilliant eyes were innocent and charming.
Eden returned to her office. She grabbed her phone tightly in her hand, but she did not make a call.
She stared at the phone screen.
To be honest, she did not want Kenny and his siblings to return to River City.
Their father was probably in this city.
She did not know who her children's father was when she escaped that night.
Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times before she gently pressed on her phone screen.
She gave her mother a call.
A loving voice quickly rang out from the phone’s speaker. "Eden."
Eden smiled happily. "Mum, what are you doing?"
Tm watching television with Gia and Kenny."
Eden hesitated. "Mum, I've been transferred back to the headquarters. Shall we move to River City to live?"
Her mother fell silent for a long while on the other end of the phone.
Eden knew that her mother did not want to go back to River City.
To her mother, River City was a place filled with painful memories.
Seven years ago, Eden was in great pain. When she was walking by the river, she saved a suicidal middle-aged woman.
The woman was very beautiful and elegant.
But she wanted to commit suicide.
Eden persuaded the woman for a very long time. She told her about what she had gone through. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Eden did not expect that they would get along so well. She knew that the woman was alone like her.
The woman was determined to take Eden as her daughter.
Just like that, Eden called this woman her mother for the past seven years.
Her mother had also been taking good care of the four of them.
In Eden's heart, she was Eden's biological mother.
Eden knew that she was making things difficult for her mother. Just when she was about to speak, a loving voice rang out from the other end of the phone. "Eden, I'll follow you to River City. You just have to prepare for the move. I'll bring Kenny and the rest to River City before their semester starts." "As for Ricky, you can discuss with Abigail. You can tell her it’s good for Ricky to pursue his career in River City too."
Eden said excitedly, "Mum, thank you! We will have a better life in the future. I've saved some money in the past few years. I’ll find a suitable house during the weekend. Our family of five will live a very happy life together!"
"Eden, I should be thanking you for always staying by my side." Her mother sounded loving and caring when she said that.
Eden felt a lump in her throat. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She blinked and took a deep breath. She said, "Mum, we are a family. You don’t have to say thank me. I’ll bring you over when I buy a house. We will never be separated ever again.”
