Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 534

Eden also felt that it was more cordial to call her Aunt Darlene. She said in a cute way, "Aunt Darlene." "Good!" Darlene smiled happily.

Darlene had no family around and lived alone. Now that she had Eden, she seemed to have some hope.

Life seemed to be full of surprises.

Looking at her happy smile, Eden felt sorry for her. Her parents had passed away long ago, and she had no siblings. She must be lonely.

Her father had said that Darlene had always been strong.

Eden asked, "Have you eaten breakfast? If not, I'll go with you."

Darlene looked at her excitedly. "Let's go to the front street to eat dumplings! The dumplings there are yummy."

"Okay, I also like dumplings. If you have time, you can come to my house on weekends. The dumplings I make are also very nice, and my mother is good at cooking." Eden invited her. In this way, she would not be alone on weekends.

Misery loved company. Eden found Darlene very congenial.

Hearing this, Darlene laughed even more happily. At the weekend, she usually watched TV or read novels alone. Although her schedules were full, she still felt lonely.

She said, "What about next week?"

"Sure!" Eden smiled and nodded. She was leading a regular life.

She usually played with the children at weekends.

But now her children had grown up, and they did not want her to be with them all the time, wanting privacy. Eden kept talking with Darlene until 1 pm. Then Eden said goodbye to her and went to Zofia's restaurant.

She was walking in a particularly good mood.

All of a sudden, a luxury car stopped beside her.

Eden was confused. She glanced sideways and found the car familiar. Then, the window slowly rolled down.

There were two handsome men in the car. One looked untamed, and the other was calm and gentle.

Both of them had their own temperament, but they

were both very charming.

"Eden!" Buddy smiled, a touch of affection flashing across his pretty face. He hadn't expected to meet her here.

Eden was also slightly stunned.

"Hi, Eden! What a coincidence!" Delmont greeted her, sounding like a playboy.

Eden grinned, "Where are you going?"

Buddy smiled and said, "We are heading to the construction site. What are you doing here?"

Eden had already thought of an answer in her heart. "Just now I had a meeting with Ms. Darlene nearby. I'm just rambling around here now."

Eden suddenly remembered that the Clement family had not been going well recently. She asked, "Have you found any investors?"

Buddy shook his head slightly and said, "Except Victor, there is no one else who wants to invest." He was busy with this matter all day.

But he hadn't solved it yet. Many investors refused them as soon as they heard the location of the land.

Eden frowned slightly. The Clement family was a layman in the real estate industry, and she didn't know much about it either. But according to Dawson, this land might make the Clement family bankrupt.

She said, "Then I will get out of your hair. I'm going home soon."

Victor had promised to help the Clement family, and she felt she owed Victor a big favor again.

The real estate funds had been severely limited now. Even if the Clement family wanted to loan, it would be very difficult.

Without a loan, they would face the risk of running out of cash.

In terms of real estate, River City and Gate City could be said to be dominated by her father.

The Clement family had just made its inroad to this industry, so it didn't have many sources of funding. The capital shortage was fatal.

Buddy said with concern, "Mind your foot. Let's have dinner together after we finish the work."

He was very happy that Eden had forgiven his mother. And he had always wanted to invite her to dinner.

He wanted to have a good chat with her.

Eden said, "Sure! You go quickly!"

"OK!"

Delmont waved at Eden while Buddy started the car.

Eden stood where she was and watched as the car drove away. Then, she walked towards Zofia's restaurant.

Delmont leaned back lazily and said unhappily, "It feels bad to not be able to take Eden back home."

Buddy looked at the road in front and said, "This is for her safety. But things aren't gonna work out if it stays the same."

"So, we have to think of a way to let her come back." Delmont glanced at Buddy, a trace of calculation flashing across his eyes.

In the Clement family, Haven was treated like a princess, but she was not satisfied.

But Eden had suffered so much.

After a moment of silence, Buddy said, "Victor will deal with it."

Delmont's hair stood on its end. "Buddy, Eden is our family. Why do you want Victor to deal with it?"

Buddy did not respond. These years of waiting had made Victor regard Eden as his whole world. He would not let anything bad happen to her.

What Buddy should worry about now were Zofia's matter and the Clement family's trouble.

When Delmont saw that him silent, he thought for a moment and said, "Buddy, there's nothing we can do now. Why don't you go and talk to Eden and ask to meet Mr. Calder? In terms of real estate, there's nothing that he can't solve."

"No!" Buddy instantly refused, "We can't make things difficult for Eden. Besides, I am too ashamed to mention this to her."

Delmont said in a hoarse voice, "Our family is about to go bankrupt. Don't be more nice than wise. Without money, our dignity would be trampled on."

He had seen the people who were bankrupt and unable to stand on the ground. Some of them had commit suicide, and some fled from home to avoid the debt. All kinds of bloody things had happened in front of his eyes.

Buddy remained silent. He knew that the Clement family was just an empty shell now.

They were not able to sell this land now either.

Furthermore, those suppliers of the supermarket had secretly spread the gossips about the Clement family.

In the past few days, a lot of suppliers were asking for payment, and he was struggling to deal with them.

His mother also knew the seriousness of the matter.

Soon, this news would spread like wildfire.

The world was cruel. It was really hard to accept the fact that they might fall into the abyss from the summit.

It was like being trampled on the soul. Although money was not omnipotent, it was quite useful.

He had to admit that with money, the whole world would be more gentle to you, let alone some persons.

The Clement family's company was the life's work of his mom and dad. He couldn't let it collapse.

Buddy tightened his jaw slightly while thinking. He looked straight ahead, so he did not see Zofia walking in his direction.

Just like that, they missed each other again.

Zofia had gone out to buy seasonings and was now walking back.
