Chapter 592
“Of course. Why do you ask?” Zelda responded without hesitation.
Eileen turned to look at Bryan.
Bryan leaned back in his seat, his posture slightly stiff.
He answered flatly, “Of course.”
“Alright,” Eileen said, handing Zelda the gift. “This is my wedding gift to you.”
Then, she offered the small red box to Bryan. “And you better take this, Mr. Dawson. I think it will be useful for you.”
Bryan stared at the small box for a moment before accepting it. A crisp sound came from inside.
His expression flickered with emotion, and he furrowed his brow.
“I wish you a joyful wedding,” Eileen said. “It’s a pity I can’t attend tomorrow, but Mr. Nash and I are returning to Onaland.”
“Why don’t you two stay here longer?” Zelda asked.
Eileen smiled and replied, “No, it’s time for us to leave. My ex-husband once told me that indecisiveness isn’t beneficial. One should be decisive when necessary.”
Bryan had said those words to Eileen when she was his assistant.
It was during their second intimate encounter.
Their first time was an accident, and by the second time, Eileen hadn’t yet decided what to do about their relationship.
She had accepted money from him the first time they were together, and she felt that accepting money again would make their relationship transactional.
Bryan had kissed her and then advised, “Indecisiveness isn’t beneficial. You should be decisive when necessary.”
“Ex-husband?” Zelda looked at Bryan, puzzled. Wasn’t Eileen’s ex-husband Bryan?
Not wanting to reveal too much, Zelda quickly shifted the conversation. “Ms. Curtis, what are your plans after returning to Onaland?”
Throughout, Eileen’s gaze remained fixed on Bryan. He sat there, his eyes downturned and his brow furrowed, silent.
Eileen couldn’t tell if Bryan was genuinely indifferent, or…
“I intend to find a suitable father for Gabriela while she’s still young,” Eileen said, turning to Zelda with a smile. “She’s almost old enough to start calling for her daddy. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if someone were there to respond?”
The yard fell into an uneasy silence.
“Let’s go. We need to catch our flight tomorrow afternoon,” Eileen said to Benjamin.
With that, she grabbed her bag and began to leave, letting Benjamin carry Gabriela.
Bryan, who had been sitting motionless, suddenly rose. The chair beneath him creaked as he stood.
The noise erupted suddenly and loudly, causing everyone to turn their attention to Bryan.
Eileen, who had just reached the door, paused and looked back at him, her gaze filled with questions.
“I’m full. I’m going back to my room,” Bryan said coldly, then turned and walked slowly into his room.
Suddenly, Eileen’s heart sank. She pressed her lips together, turned around, and led Benjamin to leave. “Let’s go,” she said quietly.
