Chapter 915
“Eileen, your imagination surely runs wild.”
Eileen said, “I’m being serious. If I passed away early, I would want to know not just who my daughter marries, but also how many kids she has, what their personalities are like, if they’re attractive, and if their father treats her well.”
A smile appeared on Leyla’s face, growing brighter with every word Eileen spoke.
In three days, Dottie’s remains would be relocated to the family’s ancestral cemetery, bringing closure to the Vazquez family’s affairs, yet also leaving a trail of regrets.
Eileen intended to stay here with Gabriela until after the ceremony and silenced her phone.
Since last night, she had ignored all the calls and messages from Bryan. Based on the tone of the recent messages, she could tell that Bryan was about to get angry, so she sent a text back.
“My mother will be laid to rest in the ancestral cemetery three days later; I won’t be able to return home before that. You need to wait a few more days.”
After that, Eileen received no messages or calls from Bryan.
She tossed her phone aside, scooped up Gabriela, and exclaimed, “Oh no, your father is angry!”
“Why is Daddy angry?” Gabriela inquired, still absorbed in playing with the toy phone.
“Because we left him there alone.” After a moment’s thought, Eileen picked up the phone and opened WhatsApp, saying, “Let me show you how to talk to Daddy. You can comfort him, okay?”
Gabriela quickly nestled her head against Eileen’s and said, “I’ll comfort Daddy…”

Then, Gabriela imitated as Eileen spoke,
“Daddy, don’t be angry…” Gabriela’s innocent voice echoed through the phone in the VQ Group’s office.
“Mammy loves you, and I love Daddy. Daddy, smile for me.”
Gabriela’s endearing words made a subtle smile creep onto Bryan’s face. He instinctively played the voice messages all the way to the end.
Maybe Eileen hadn’t wanted to send any more voice messages. She had discarded her phone but inadvertently left the recording function on, so her conversation with Gabriela after sending the voice message had still been recorded.
“Good work, sweetie! If Daddy gets angry again, just talk to him like you did this time. Mommy will buy you a yummy dinner, okay?”
Listening to this, Bryan couldn’t help but feel resigned.
He put away his phone and summoned Raymond. “What’s my schedule these days?”
“There’s no important matter. But the company’s current situation is precarious, and we need someone on hand to handle any unexpected issues that may arise,” Raymond had a sudden guess as to why Bryan had asked this question, so he intentionally emphasized the last sentence.
Bryan’s eyebrows shot up, and he rose from his seat, walking toward Raymond as he said, “Consider this yours from now on.”
Raymond’s legs trembled beneath him, and he nearly fell to his knees before Bryan.
