Chapter 374
Ruby was concerned about Gabriela, assuming Milford was at home caring for her, so she called him to check.
“Yes, he’s taking good care of her while you’re away. He’s also eager for you to come back so he can explain something to you properly,” Eileen said. She suspected that even if Ruby returned, Bryan would be reluctant to hand Gabriela over.
“He’s a man and has never done this kind of thing before. I’m worried he won’t be able to look after her well. I can’t stay at Bailee’s anymore. I’ll come back as soon as possible to help with the baby.”
After a little more conversation, Ruby ended the video call.
Turning around, Eileen saw that Bryan had not only washed the dishes downstairs, but he had also showered. Climbing into bed, he held their daughter in his arms and then reached out for Eileen.
Eileen set her phone aside and lay down next to Bryan with her head on his chest, and his arm holding her tightly.
“The teething biscuit was a bit of a disaster; it crumbled,” Bryan said, sounding frustrated. “I can’t give it to Gabriela.”
“Then just buy some,” Eileen suggested, gently holding Gabriela’s small hand. She had missed her after a day apart.
Gabriela wiggled, nestling into Bryan’s body, her little face turning towards Eileen.
“The ones you buy are full of additives; it’s safer if I make them myself! I’ll try again tomorrow,” Bryan said as he kissed Eileen’s forehead and squeezed her hand. Then he leaned in and asked her a very serious question. “Where would be the most suitable place for us tonight?”

Eileen tensed and gave Bryan a puzzled look. Weren’t they already lying in bed? Surely, they weren’t considering the garden outside, were they?
“I’m worried about disturbing Gabriela,” Bryan explained earnestly. “And since she’s just a baby, it wouldn’t be appropriate to be near her when we—”
“What does she understand?” Eileen shielded Gabriela’s chubby little body with her hand, ensuring she didn’t roll off the bed.
Bryan furrowed his brows, asking, “Are you sure?”
Eileen hesitated for a moment. She lowered her head to look at Gabriela, who was staring back with wide-open eyes. Eileen was certain Gabriela didn’t grasp anything going on around her. Even if she were to wake up, she wouldn’t understand what was happening.
When Eileen recalled how Bryan had passionately kissed her the previous night with Gabriela watching, making gentle cooing sounds with wide eyes, she felt a bit embarrassed.
“She’s sleepy. Go prepare some formula,” Eileen suggested, noticing Gabriela’s sounds that indicated she was hungry.
