Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 10

Eden frowned, and her red lips pouted slightly. She hit Jasper in the chest and said, "Jasper, what are you talking about? You clearly know that I went to Alwynn Group for other reasons." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She would have the opportunity to buy the Gienger family's shares if she worked at Alwynn Group. She wanted to take revenge on them.

Jasper was looking intently at Eden.

A hint of imperceptible pain flashed in his eyes.

The loud applause caught their attention.

Abigail smiled and said, "Let's go. Let's not talk about these unhappy matters. Let's enjoy Ricky's piano performance."

Jasper held Abigail and Eden's hands and walked to the nearest seats.

At Capital Appetite Restaurant.

Light music was playing in the luxury private dining room.

There was a variety of dishes on the table, but Victor Alwynn didn't touch the food at all. Instead, he kept drinking wine.

There was a live broadcast of Henrick Lieu's competition on television. Anson was watching the broadcast with great interest.

He was engrossed in the melodious piano music, holding a teacup in his hand and sipping the tea.

Victor was not interested in variety shows like this at all.

He had traveled all over the world to look for Eden all these years.

He patiently went from one city to another to look for her. However, he always came back empty- handed.

The longing in his heart would grow like weeds whenever he saw a familiar pair of eyes. There was still no news of Eden.

The heavy rain had washed everything away that night. It even washed away all traces Eden might have left behind at the spot where she went missing!

The only thing left was a strawberry-flavored lollipop that she had wanted to give him.

Eden was always by his side whenever he was upset. No matter how hard he tried to chase her away, she wanted to keep him company until he was happy again.

"Victor, this is a strawberry-flavored lollipop. It's very sweet. Victor, you will no longer be sad after you eat it. You'll only feel joyful." Her soft and pleasant voice often echoed in his ears.

Her clear eyes were full of spirits and mischief. It was impossible to look away.

Even a man like him, who hated sweets, had also fallen in love with strawberry-flavored lollipops.

He kept them at home and in his car. Their sweet taste brought him joy.

Victor sat on the chair languidly. The dazzling light made his deep-set eyes look like two pools of still water. He threw his head back and drank another glass of wine.

Whenever he felt these emotions, he would pray that Fate showed him mercy and let him find Eden as soon as possible.

He wanted to find his mother, too.

Without them by his side, he was slowly losing the will to live.

Victor was completely silent as he wallowed in sorrow.

Victor was numbed to his surroundings. He could not see Anson and hear the sounds and voices from the television. He also did not notice that his phone was buzzing.

Meanwhile, the host's excited voice rang out from the television speakers.

"Congratulations, Henrick. You've won the national championship with your song, 'My Mother'.”

After a round of applause, the camera pointed to Henrick's handsome face. He was smiling happily.

Anson looked at Henrick and thought that the boy looked familiar.

He tapped on the table gently. "Victor, look at this child, Henrick Bleu. Have we seen him before?"

Anson hardly noticed Henrick before that. After all, Henrick was a child star. His future was unpredictable, especially in the entertainment industry.

However, he had won first place in today's piano competition with a song he wrote. This child had a bright future. It was only then Anson finally paid attention to Henrick.
