Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 65

Chapter 65:

“I’m not being stubborn. I just don’t want to lose you,” Eileen said, gently grasping Ruby’s arm. Her words resonated deeply with Ruby.

After a lengthy silence, Ruby let out a deep sigh. “It’s getting late. You have work tomorrow. Let’s go back and get some rest.”

“Okay,” Eileen said, removing the blanket from herself and draping it over Ruby. Ruby, however, stopped Eileen and wrapped her tightly with the blanket instead.

They then walked back to the inpatient building steadily.

The distance from the hospital to Apex Group was significant. The next morning, Eileen bought breakfast for Ruby before leaving.

Ruby walked Eileen to the door, watching her disappear down the corridor before she herself returned to the ward.

While eating the breakfast Eileen had bought, Ruby couldn’t hold back her tears. She quickly wiped her tears away and took out her phone to make a call.

“Mrs. Baker, it’s me. I think Eileen and Huey have been getting along well lately. When do you think we can arrange a meal to discuss their marriage? Yes, I’m concerned. You’re aware of my health issues. Currently, things are stable, so I’d like to finalize the marriage arrangements between our families. My condition could deteriorate unexpectedly, and nobody knows when that might happen. I don’t want to hold Eileen back… Okay, help me learn about their opinions on this matter, and then we can plan to have dinner together later on.”

Upon boarding the bus, Eileen reached into her bag to get her phone but found a warm, peeled egg in a plastic bag instead. The scent of the egg wafted through the plastic bag. A smile formed on Eileen’s face as she ate the egg. It tasted better than any other delicacies she had ever eaten.

After eating the egg, Eileen turned on her cell phone and looked at the exam papers Aaron had sent the previous night.

Aaron had managed to barely pass three courses, but his grades in four others were dismal. During her commute, Eileen briefly addressed Aaron’s specific issues and arranged for him to start learning from the basics. She promised to send him several learning materials every day to help him improve.

Her schedule became even busier now. In addition to her day job, she needed to use her lunch breaks to organize study materials for Aaron. She found almost no time to spend alone with Bryan outside of work.

That evening, Bryan didn’t leave work at the usual time. It was Vivian who delivered his message to Eileen.

“Bryan told me that he had to work overtime today. He wanted us to get off work first,” Vivian said to Eileen.

Eileen tightened her grip on her pen and pressed her lips together.

Standing beside Eileen’s desk, Vivian chuckled and said, “What’s the matter? I thought you could maintain your arrogance much longer. It seems Bryan has grown tired of you so soon. By the way, my brother asked me to tell you that you only have one day left.”

Eileen kept her head down, wearing an unreadable expression.
