Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 70:

After bidding Ruby and Winona farewell, Eileen turned to Huey. “Where are you headed? Could you give Bailee a ride?”

“‘No problem, I can give you a ride back too,” Huey said, patting his chest, feeling a sense of relief. “Thanks for today. If you ever need to explain this situation to anyone, just blame me!”

Eileen smiled. “I’ll take the bus, but you could give Bailee a lift. I also need to thank you for taking good care of Bailee.”

Bailee stepped closer to Eileen, gently grasping her arm, a wave of empathy washing over her as she noticed Eileen’s apparent weight.

“Don’t mention it. By the way, were you surprised when I transferred you the money the other day?” Huey said.

Eileen looked at Bailee and nodded. “Yes, I was surprised. Bailee later told me it was her advance salary from you. I wouldn’t have accepted it otherwise. Please make sure she is well taken care of when she starts working for you.”

Hearing such formal words, Huey felt a bit awkward. He scratched his head and said, “My car’s over there. I’ll leave with Bailee now.”

Bailee released Eileen’s arm and waved. “Bye, Eileen.”

Eileen remained motionless for a moment, waving back as she watched Bailee climb into Huey’s car and drive away.

She then let out a long sigh of relief and turned to leave. Suddenly, she stopped upon noticing several figures under the restaurant’s lights.

Harlan approached her first, with Jacob close on his heels. Bryan, bringing up the rear, sauntered with his hands in his pockets and his suit jacket carelessly hanging over his shoulders.

Eileen’s face lost its color. She pressed her lips together and looked away from Bryan.

“Ms. Curtis, what a coincidence to see you here!” Harlan said. Unfamiliar with Eileen’s family dynamics, he felt perplexed after overhearing Eileen’s conversation with Huey. He wondered if Huey was Eileen’s husband but hesitated to ask further.

Bryan, who had heard Eileen’s conversation with Huey, stood a short distance away. His expression was unreadable as he idly kicked a small stone, choosing to remain silent.

Eileen, managing a smile, nodded slightly to Harlan. “What a coincidence to see you all here. Are you here for dinner too?”

Jacob approached, smiling. “Indeed! Mr. Clarkson invited Bryan specifically to discuss matters concerning you. I just happened to join them.”

“Matters about Eileen?” Harlan’s frown deepened. He quickly realized they were discussing her tutoring Aaron.
