Chapter 746
Kinsey and Conroy noticed this, and their expressions abruptly shifted. Conroy quickly pulled Quinton, who was standing nearby, to take a seat.
Now, the table was too small for them. Kinsey had to move to the table where Lenny and Eileen were seated. He sat across from Eileen.
In an irritated tone that only Eileen could hear, he said, “Didn’t I tell you to leave?”
“I’m trying to save money for you,” Eileen whispered back. “The money you just gave me will cover our meals for several days. Plus, Lenny has already bought me lunch, so it’d be a waste not to eat.”
Lenny leaned closer abruptly and asked Eileen and Kinsey, “Do you two know each other?”
Kinsey quickly replied, “No, we don’t. And please don’t talk too much while eating.”

Bryan played along with Eileen’s act. Understanding that Eileen wanted to keep Kinsey’s and Conroy’s identities hidden, he chose to ignore Conroy’s small actions.

Bryan then walked directly to Eileen and asked, “Excuse me, could you hold the baby for me?”
Eileen coughed, obviously taken aback. She placed her hand on her forehead to hide her astonished expression.
Eileen was shocked by Bryan’s action.
Who would even think of asking someone else to take care of their child while they eat?
To anyone unfamiliar with her relationship with Bryan, it would seem like he had lost his mind.
Obviously, no one present was aware of her relationship with Bryan.
People around them stretched their necks and gaped with wide eyes.
Eileen took a deep breath to compose herself, shot Bryan a covert glare, and then addressed him formally, “Sir, I don’t think we are acquainted.”
“Exactly. I’m just asking for your help. Will you do it?” Bryan responded earnestly
