Chapter 297
Eden opened the door and looked at the man standing outside. He was dressed in a suit and had a tall figure. He had short black hair and his face was well-defined. He looked elegant and handsome.
Eden asked in surprise, "Uncle Calder, why are you here?"
Zaiden looked at Eden with some displeasure, "Eden, why didn't you tell me have moved into a new house. Besides, have you forgotten that I am a real estate tycoon and I can give you any house you want?"
When Eden heard that, she said gratefully, "I'm sorry, Uncle Calder. I thought you went back to Gate City."
"Hehe..." Zaiden laughed somewhat self-mockingly.
"Eden, what is the point of staying there when you are not around? I will stay in River City in the future to keep you all company." His voice was loud and he seemed to do that so that the people in the house could hear him.
Jaida, who was sitting inside, couldn't help but laugh. However, the smile was bitter and was filled with guilt!
"Eden, I didn't bring any gift but you will still let me in, right?" Zaiden looked at Eden with a smile.
Eden stepped aside quickly and said with a mischievous smile, "Uncle Calder, you're really petty. This is my first and last time to move into the house. Uncle Calder, don't you feel ashamed to come here empty-handed? You should at least bring a cake for each of my family members."
Eden was this mischievous when she was not at work.
The tradition here was eating cakes when someone moved into a new house.
Jaida had steamed some rice cakes forthat!
"Haha..." Zaiden laughed happily.
He pointed to Eden's nose and said in a doting tone, "You are just greedy for the cakes. How can you be so petty? I would be happy if you are greedy for houses." Zaiden went inside as he spoke. His every move was gentle and elegant!
Eden shook her head and laughed. If she was greedy for houses, her ideal house would be extremely expensive!
"Grandpa Zaiden!" Kenneth and Giada greeted him with a happy smile.
"Hey! Kenny, Gia, I haven't seen you for a few days and you have grown taller." Zaiden looked at the siblings with a smile.
"Mr. Calder!" Jasper also stood up and greeted him!
Zaiden looked at Jasper and said, "Jasper, you are here too."
"Yes! Mr. Calder, please take a seat!" Jasper stood up and gestured for him to sit down.
The position was right next to Jaida.
Zaiden glanced at Jasper meaningfully. Jasper was indeed tactful.
Eden introduced Zofia to Zaiden and everyone sat down to eat together after that.
Zaiden glanced at Jaida who had been keeping quiet beside him and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? You don’t want me to be here?"
Jaida glanced sideways at him and said with a smile, "You have already sat in front of the table. How could I drive you away?"
"Yo! That doesn’t sound like you!" Zaiden still looked at her with a smile and there was affection in his eyes.
Jaida glanced at him again and said angrily, "Eat. There are so many delicious food here. Why don’t you shove them in your mouth?"
Zaiden took a look and realized that boiled fish, which was his favorite dish, was on the table. There were not many chilies and no pepper in the dish. He smiled and asked, "Jaida, do you know that I'm coming so you prepared my favorite fish? You didn't even add parsley!"
Jaida knew that he didn't like to eat pepper and parsley.
Jaida's eyebrows furrowed charmingly when she heard Zaiden's words. "Zaiden, you think too much. I did not add parsley because there is no parsley in my house!"
Jasper couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. Jaida didn't even blush when she lied. Jasper clearly saw that there were parsleys in the refrigerator.
However, he would not be dumb enough to expose Jaida!
Jaida and Zaiden bickered with each other, making the atmosphere livelier.
Eden looked at both of them with clear obsidian eyes.
It seemed that Jaida had figured it out.
If she could accept Zaiden, she would be happier in the future!
Both Eden and Jasper knew that Zaiden had deep feelings for Jaida. However, they did not know why they had not been together.
Eden often saw Jaida sighing sadly at night. Sometimes, she would look at the sky with a longing expression on her face.
Eden did not know where Jaida was from because she had never asked her about her background.
Eden only knew that she was called Jaida and was from Gate City based on her identity card.
Giada chuckled and asked, "Grandpa Zaiden, are you going to live in River City in the future?"
"Yes!" Zaiden looked at her and said, "Gia, I will come to your house for dinner frequently in the future. Is that okay?"
"Okay! Grandpa, don't just come once a month. You have to come for more than two weeks each month if you want to have free meals!" Giada's soft and sweet voice could melt people's heart. Her innocent smile could also make people forget about their worries.
"Haha..." Zaiden laughed happily. "How dare you say that I come here for free meals?"
Jaida glared at him and said, "Gia is right. Since you are here for free meals, you should only come here once a year!"
Zaiden was stunned for a moment and his smile faded away. "You are really cruel. A person is a guest if he visits once a year. He would be here for free meals if he visits frequently every month."
"Hehe..." Eden couldn't help laughing, "Uncle Calder, what Gia said is right then."
Zaiden gave her a sidelong glance and said, "Both of you are wicked and mischievous but I like it." Zaiden's voice was indescribably alluring. He was handsome even though he was middle-aged. He
didn't look like he was almost fifty years old.
He looked gentle and elegant but his every move was particularly imposing.
Eden defended herself quickly, "Uncle Calder, I am not wicked. These two are the wicked ones." Eden quickly pointed to Gia and Kenneth.
Giada and Kenneth felt like Eden involved them for no reason.
"Mom, I am not happy about you using Kenny and me to defend yourself." Giada complained as she looked at Eden with a pout.
Eden looked at Giada with a straight face. "What can you do if you are not happy about it? Giada, the weak is no match for the strong."
Zofia smiled at the side and said, "Eden, judging from your thin figure, you will be no match for Giada in a few years. Let's see if the weak can defeat the strong then."
"That's true!" Eden nodded in agreement.
Giada had a quirky temper. Eden would sometimes be shocked by her words!
Giada raised her eyebrows smugly at Eden and said,
"Mom, here. I have a surprise for you!"
Giada handed a bank card to Eden as she spoke.
Eden looked at the bank card that was handed to her in confusion.
She blinked her big eyes and glanced at Jaida.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
She asked, "Gia, where did you get this bank card?" "Hmph!" Giada rubbed her little nose triumphantly. "Mom, both my paintings were sold at the painting exhibition. All the money is in this card."
