Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 57

Chapter 57:

Benjamin told Bryan where Jonathan’s ward was and then said, “Jonathan’s relationship with you is bad. He will only make things difficult for Eileen.”

Bryan fixed Benjamin with a probing stare, asking, “Are you close with her?”

Benjamin hesitated, cleared his throat, and finally added, “We used to be college classmates. I owe her a favor. That’s all.”

Bryan lifted his eyebrows slightly, and a shadow crossed his eyes. “You are quite reliable.”

Benjamin sensed an unusual shift in the conversation.

Though he couldn’t quite identify what was happening, he said, “Mr. Dawson, I will leave now.”

“Okay,” Bryan responded. After Benjamin departed, Bryan stared at the VIP ward, his gaze fixed on a brightly lit window.

He understood that the real threat to Eileen was not Jonathan, but Kian.

Pulling out his phone, he noticed several news alerts and messages from company executives.

Yet, there was no message from Eileen. Was she preparing to confront Jonathan directly?

Early the next morning, after only a few hours of sleep, Eileen appeared worn. She walked downstairs and heard some noise outside her door. She opened the door and saw Bailee.

Bailee was sitting with breakfast in hand. Upon hearing the door open, she quickly stood up and approached Eileen.

“Eileen, I made breakfast for you,” Bailee said.

Bailee’s cautious and remorseful expression reminded Eileen of her past self.

Eileen moved aside, letting Bailee enter. “You didn’t need to make breakfast and bring it over. I could just have something simple on the way.”

Bailee unpacked the breakfast and set the dishes on the table. “Just eating something simple isn’t nutritious. Anyway, I’m not working right now, and I don’t mind waking up early.”

Bailee was clearly trying to atone for her past mistakes, which Eileen noticed immediately.

Eileen said, “Just this once. If you’re free this morning, go look for a job. With your educational background, it shouldn’t be difficult. Don’t worry too much about the salary. The most important thing is to find something you enjoy.”

Eileen couldn’t fault Bailee for working for the Warren Group despite knowing her history with Vivian before; after all, Bailee had wanted to work there for the money.

In the stark simplicity of the kitchen, Bailee’s casual attire and somber demeanor made her appear quite pitiful.

After a moment, she lifted her gaze to meet Eileen’s and nodded firmly. “Eileen, I won’t cause you any more trouble. I will look for a job!”
