Chapter 1128

Melissa looked at him and smiled tenderly. She was so excited that she almost cried. Being with such a man was her lifelong dream.

She said excitedly, "Victor, you're really handsome. You know what? I buy every financial magazine about you, and I save all your photos on the Internet. Each of your photos is amazing enough to make me cry with happiness."

Saying this, Melissa melted into tears.

No matter what, she would never give up Victor.

Hearing her pleasantly surprised voice, Victor was not touched at all. At this time, he only wanted to see Eden as soon as possible.

He was very grateful to Melissa because she had saved his life, but she hid him and didn't tell others that he was alive. It had hurt his family, lover and children, and he had no way to forgive her.

He glanced at Melissa's excited face blandly and said with ruthlessness in his tone, "I'll eat something first."

"Okay. Victor, let's eat something before going to the party!" Melissa couldn't be more overjoyed. In front of Victor, she had completely let go of her pride and self-esteem.

She could agree to all of his requests.

Victor walked a little slowly. He had slept for a long time, so he felt as if treading on air while walking.

With a straight and gloomy face, he gritted his teeth tightly. Apart from anger and grief, there were no other emotions in his eyes.

Eden, Lucian and Amelia were taken to the head office by the staff in TS Company. Then they were told that Melissa was not there. Melissa invited them to her birthday party at night, and she would meet them at that time.

Eden did not say anything when she heard that.

The three of them went to the chain hotel owned by Alwynn Group. Lucian had arranged all these in advance.

They arrived at the lounge on the top floor.

Eden sat on the sofa with a tired face.

Lucian and Amelia sat opposite her.

Lucian looked at her tired face and felt somewhat distressed, "Eden, go have a rest."

Eden shook her head slightly, "Lucian, Amelia, we have to pick a birthday present for Miss Craig.

We can't attend her birthday party without a gift."

"That's right. Why does it happen to be her birthday?" Amelia leaned back on the sofa, feeling a little exhausted.

Eden looked at her and smiled, "Amelia, you must be tired, right?"

"Yeah!" Amelia nodded with a smile, "Eden, I am very excited to be here, but I'm fatigued."

Lucian turned to look at her, "You two rest in the hotel, and I'll prepare a gift for her. She's not an important person to us. I just need to buy something expensive for her."

Amelia replied, "Since she's not important to us, why should we buy her something expensive? In my opinion, we can just buy her something casually to show our kindness."

"Ha-ha..." Lucian laughed, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Eden smiled and said, "Lucian, do as you see fit. Amelia and I will go to sleep for a while. I am very sleepy now."

Lucian nodded, "I'll order some delicious food for you first. Sleep after you finish eating, in case you would wake up from hunger."

Amelia shook her head with a drowsy face, "Lucian, I guess I will fall asleep while eating. I want to sleep now."

Eden said, "Me too. Remember to wake us up when you come back, Lucian. We can't be late, or we will leave a bad impression on her."

"No problem!" Lucian always spoke in a simple and straightforward way.

Eden and Amelia walked into their rooms.

Lucian followed Amelia into her room. As soon as Amelia took off her shoes and lay down, she saw Lucian lie down beside her and look at her with a concerned expression.

Amelia was sleepy, but she sobered up a little when she saw his handsome face, "What are you doing?" Her voice sounded tired.

Lucian rubbed her head, "I'll go out after you fall asleep."

Amelia smiled happily with her eyes closed. She was finding it hard to stay awake and fell asleep very soon.

Listening to her even breathing, Lucian lowered his head and kissed her forehead before getting up to leave.

Eden returned to her room, took a bath and lay on the bed. She was very sleepy and tired, but she could not fall asleep.

She held the phone and put her hands on her knees. Looking at Victor's photo, she missed him so much.

"Victor, aren't you coming back? I can't hold on any longer." She murmured to herself.

She swiped open the phone screen and looked at the chat box of her and Victor. As she looked at those warm messages, tears streamed down her cheeks, and she couldn't help but send a message to him.

"Victor, where are you? They all said that you are dead, but I don't believe it. I know that you are alive. Am I right? I can't hold on anymore. Victor, I miss you so much. Come back soon, okay?"

She could never get through to him again, and it was the first time that she had sent a message to him. Except for this, she couldn't find another way to vent the sorrow and pain in her heart.

She stared at their chat history without blinking. Victor's profile photo was grey, which meant that he was not online.

She felt so painful that her whole body was trembling. When she had nothing to do, she only thought about him.

She called his name thousands of times at nights, and she didn't get any response, but she had never given up.

In the photo, Victor was smiling brightly. Looking at his photo dejectedly, she was no more sleepy.

Sometimes, she felt that she was sick. She always felt that she hadn't finished something and had to confirm it over and over again.

After having a meal with Melissa, Victor looked at her and said with a poker face, "I need a phone."

Hearing this, Melissa smiled, took out a new phone from her handbag and handed it to Victor.

"Victor, I've prepared it for you. But... do you still remember your family?" She asked tentatively. He had never said that he wanted to look for his family.

It made her very confused.

After all, something good would happen at night. When she announced that Victor was her fiance on her birthday party, Eden would be there. She felt very excited just by thinking about it.

Victor did not speak. Instead, he turned on his new phone and logged on his WhatsApp.

He received a new message.

"Victor, where are you? They all said that you are dead, but I don't believe it. I know that you are alive. Am I right? I can't hold on anymore. Victor, I miss you so much. Come back soon, okay?"

Victor took a look at the time. Eden sent it to him five minutes ago.

A mood of melancholy descended on him. Eden said that she could not hold on any longer.

Everyone said that he was dead, and she was the only one who believed that he was alive.

She was indeed the woman he had been loving since he was a child.

He logged out and held the phone with so much strength. Even his knuckles had turned pale.

All of a sudden, he looked at Melissa with apathetic eyes.

"What is your purpose of doing this?" His words were brief and cold.

When Melissa heard this, she immediately understood what he meant.

She smiled gently. She had known that he would ask such a question, and she had thought about how to answer him, "Victor, I have no purpose. You promised me, and I will protect you. That's it."
