Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 52

Chapter 52:

Soren’s profound love for his wife made Bryan feel something, and there was only one thought in his mind.

Bryan excused himself and navigated through the crowd. He spotted Eileen in a quiet corner.

The light from her phone illuminated her face, showing her focused expression. She frowned as she stared intently at the screen.

Bryan approached with a smile but halted a few steps away from her.

Eileen was absorbed in her game, meticulously scrolling through each character with her slender fingers.

“Why can’t I remember these?” she murmured to herself.

Upon seeing this, Bryan’s demeanor shifted. The warmth on his face vanished, replaced by a subtle hint of harshness.

Ultimately, he remained silent. He tightened his grip on his glass, turned, and walked away.

Eileen was unaware of what had happened. After some time, she still struggled to recall the game characters, feeling disheartened as the day of distancing herself from Huey seemed far away.

Her eyes were sore and dry. She put away her phone and walked along the lakeside path, feeling the cool night breeze and observing the reflections in the water.

As she relaxed, her thoughts lightened. The idea of having an honest conversation with Bryan and revealing her true identity resurfaced.

Once this idea took hold, it was hard to dismiss. She repeatedly mulled over the feasibility of this plan.

This was a huge risk for her. She would be leveraging her intimate relationship with Bryan in order to replace Vivian in his heart.

Even after contemplating this matter, she was still uncertain of where to begin. She wasn’t even sure how Bryan would feel about this, nor was she certain of how to handle things thereafter.

All of a sudden, Vivian appeared, standing in front of her. “Eileen,” she said.

Vivian wore a shiny gold dress that sparkled under the radiant lights, making her look like a princess. Eileen frowned slightly and said, “Miss Warren.”

“Do you know why I insisted on bringing Bryan here today?” asked Vivian.

Eileen responded, her expression cautious.

A mocking gleam appeared in Vivian’s eyes as she said, “Because I want you to understand where you stand in Bryan’s heart compared to me.”

Before she could gather her thoughts, Vivian grabbed her hands. They stood at the lake’s edge, teetering on the
