Victor whipped up his head when he heard what Anson had said.
But when Victor looked up, he only saw the host's face on the television screen.
He glanced indifferently at the television and then looked away.
Victor only saw Henrick Bleu's side profile, but he did not pay attention to the boy.
He suddenly remembered a work-related matter and asked, "Is the design director, who is transferring from the branch office arriving tomorrow?"
Anson smiled and said, "Yes, she will be here tomorrow. This design director joined Alwynn Group' s branch office three years ago. Because of her unique design, she's quickly promoted to the design director at the branch office. She is quite good at her job. You don't have to worry about her taking over Marianne's work."
Victor nodded. His handsome face was devoid of any emotion.
Alwynn Group had businesses in all kinds of industries.
However, Victor had always dedicated his time and energy to the design division.
A heartwarming memory suddenly flashed across his mind.
"Eden, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
"Victor, is my princess dress beautiful?" The young girl was smiling sweetly. She stood up and spun before him. Her beautiful princess dress twirled, and it made her look even more beautiful.
"It's beautiful!"
"That's right. I want to study fashion design in the future. It's amazing to be able to design such beautiful clothes. I want to design a lot of princess dresses for myself in the future." The girl’s clear eyes were filled with hope.
At the time, his heart was full of joy when he looked at Eden's innocent smile. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
But when he thought of that stormy night, he was overwhelmed with guilt and regret.
He quickly picked his glass and chugged the wine. But he could not get rid of the frustration within him.
He exhaled, suddenly stood up, and walked out of the door.
His tall figure was shrouded in an air of sorrow.
Anson had just started to eat after he watched the television for a while. He was about to persuade Victor, who was injured, to drink less.
He did not even manage to take a bite of the chicken when he saw Victor had left. He closed his eyes in resignation. Victor was such a difficult person to deal with!
He stuffed the chicken into his mouth so he could feel a little fuller.
He grabbed the car key on the table and followed Victor.
At a high-end restaurant in River City.
The sounds of clinking glasses could be heard from the large private dining room.
"Cheers!" Abigail shouted happily.
Everyone chugged the red wine in his or her glass.
After Henrick's competition had ended, the three of them brought Henrick to the restaurant to celebrate.
Abigail was smiling and looked at Henrick with an adoring gaze. She said gently yet excitedly, "Congratulations to Ricky for winning first place in the piano competition."
"Thank you, Mommy! You're the reason why I'm able to achieve this today." Henrick looked at Abigail with a smile.
Abigail did not like to be called "godmother”, so
Henrick simply called her "mommy” to make her happy.
"You're so sweet, Ricky." Abigail smiled. Her face was slightly flushed after drinking, and she looked even more enchanting.
She kissed Henrick on his cheek happily, leaving a red lipstick mark on his soft cheek.
Henrick was not bothered by the lipstick mark. He looked at his mother with a smile.
He wrote the song, which he had played at the competition, for his mother.
It was because his mother and grandmother had worked hard to raise him and his siblings.
Eden stroke his head tenderly.
Eden looked at Abigail and asked, "Abigail, when are you going back to Gate City?"
