Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 32

Eden looked at him guiltily and said, "Jasper, I can’t take up more of your time. You're here to deal with your branch office's matters."

Jasper tapped his finger on her forehead upon hearing that. "Silly girl, why are you being so polite? I' m also resting during the weekends. It's quite boring to be alone. I'll have a meaningful time if I get to spend the weekends with you."

"Ouch!" Even though it was not painful, Eden still let out a cry of pain from Jasper's action. Her delicate and pitiful appearance could soften one's heart.

"Haha..." Jasper chuckled.

"You’re so mischievous!"

Jasper was very happy, and his bright voice sounded content. Jasper looked up and realized they had already reached Eden’s apartment.

His eyes flashed and he was very reluctant to say goodbye to her. He blamed the distance to Eden's apartment for being too short.

He looked at Eden and smiled gently. "Eden, you have to work tomorrow. It's too late now, you should go back and rest."

"Alright! Jasper, you should go back too." Eden felt a little guilty.

Jasper had to travel all the way here to walk her home. He insisted on coming over because he would be worried if she did not accept his offer to walk her home.

"Alright! I will. You can go in now." His gentle voice struck a chord in her heart.

Eden bid him goodbye and went into the apartment building.

Jasper stared at her while she left. He only walked away with a smile after he saw the lights on the fifth floor were turned on.

He was in a very good mood. He smiled slightly. His smile like a gentle breeze in spring, mild and warm.

Eden felt extremely tired after she took a bath. She immediately fell into a deep sleep.

The Alwynn family’s mansion was located in the best position with the best view of the river.

The Clement family's mansion was just next to the Alwynn’s. The two families could enjoy tea time and chat together while sitting in their own courtyards.

Victor opened the car door and looked at Anson. He instructed coldly, "Anson, continue to investigate Eden's identity. Investigate the identity of the man who appeared tonight, too. Remember, keep this matter between the three of us. Don't let any information out."

Upon seeing Victor's serious expression, Anson nodded solemnly. Victor cared so much about this missing girl even after so many years. Anson hoped that Victor’s intuition was right.

Victor walked toward the three-story luxurious mansion. Victor smiled coldly when he noticed that the lights were still on.

He opened the door and entered the mansion. The mansion had European furnishings, and the decoration was luxurious and elegant.

He changed his slippers at the entrance.

The maid, Resse King, greeted Victor with a smile.

"You're back, Master Victor."

"Yes!" Victor nodded.

Reese continued, "Master Victor, the chairman, and madam are on the second floor. The young mistress and second young master are both on the second floor, too."

"Alright!" Victor sounded very kind when he talked to Reese.

Victor glanced at the stairs, and a strange glint flashed past his deep-set eyes.

He then strode to the second floor.

The people upstairs were chatting happily. Victor heard the laughter when he walked upstairs. He was suddenly overwhelmed by sadness. He would feel warm and welcome if his mother was still here.

Instead of feeling sad and resentful.

As soon as he entered the living room on the second floor, he heard a harsh and sharp voice saying, "Vo! The Master Victor is back."

Victor's stepmother, Rebecca, said in a delicate voice.

Victor looked at her and sneered. He said coldly, "Why? Are you surprised to see me return safely?"

Rebecca was slightly stunned when she heard Victor’ s words.

The other three people's expressions also changed.

Phillip, Victor's father, was dressed in gray pyjamas. He sat on the sofa and stared sternly at Victor.
