Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 3

Chapter 3:

The Dawson Mansion occupied a sprawling hillside, encompassing over five thousand square meters. At its iron gate, Vivian waited in her vehicle.

When Bryan and Eileen arrived at the gate, Bryan said,

“Stop the car.”

Without delay, Eileen steered the car to the roadside and parked. Bryan then opened the door and exited the car. Vivian, who was vibrant like a young girl, had been in the car ahead of them. She also disembarked and hurried toward Bryan.

“Bryan, I was too apprehensive to enter alone, so I waited for you here,” Vivian admitted.

For the first time, Eileen chose to remain inside the car. She observed through the window, noting Bryan’s face was turned away from her, his expression one of tenderness.

Bryan’s expression held indulgence toward Vivian. However, Eileen knew that his softness would evaporate once he was confronted with the truth.

At that moment, the iron gate began to open slowly, and the butler, Jarred, emerged.

“Miss Warren, welcome back. It’s been a while,” he greeted.

With a bright smile, Vivian responded,

“Yes, it has been a long time! But… we’ll see each other often soon!”

Jarred offered a courteous smile before turning his attention to Bryan.

“Sir, had you informed me of your arrival earlier, I could have been prepared. Your grandmother mentioned wanting to visit the church, and acting on a sudden impulse, she went there last night. Yet, here you are today.”

Vivian’s smile faded at his words. Bryan furrowed his brow in response. Eileen, on the other hand, was still seated in the car, struggling to suppress her laughter.

Her amusement wasn’t sparked by the delay in exposing her identity. Rather, it was Stella’s deliberate avoidance of them and her overt revelation of this fact, designed to provoke their frustration, that Eileen found humorously ironic.

“When will Stella return?” Vivian asked, struggling to conceal her disappointment.

Jarred took a moment before responding,

“She didn’t mention a specific time, but she won’t return soon. She usually stays there for at least half a month. This time, she mentioned wanting to enjoy a few extra days of quiet.”

Stella had chosen to be absent this morning because she knew Bryan would come here with Vivian. Bryan’s parents had been living abroad for more than ten years. Their work kept them so busy that they only managed to come home once or twice a year. Stella had raised Bryan and valued him more than her own life. Eileen could understand why Stella would have hard feelings toward Vivian because of what had happened six years ago.

Yesterday, Eileen had been too concerned about the consequences of her identity being revealed to consider Stella’s feelings. How could Stella easily forgive Vivian?
