Chapter 71

Chapter 71:

But Jacob had remained silent throughout the meal, observing quietly as Bryan’s expressions grew increasingly gloomy while conversing with Harlan, misinterpreting everything. Thinking of this, Bryan’s expression darkened.

Seeing this, Jacob swiftly got into the car, locking the front door and cautiously lowering the window a little as he said, “Sit in the back. I’ll drive you home.”

Bryan, standing motionless, suddenly wore a smile, adjusting his tie and lifting his eyebrows as he looked at Jacob.

With a click, Jacob promptly opened the door for the passenger seat, afraid that Bryan would beat him up if he didn’t do that.

Once in the car, Bryan remained silent, leaning back against the seat and staring at the passing scenery. His eyes held a frosty, unforgiving gaze.

Despite Jacob’s silence, he was keenly aware of Bryan’s seriousness now.

It seemed there was about to be quite a show.

Outside the apartment, as Eileen parked the car, she hesitated before exiting. She gently ran her fingertips over the car key, feeling the lingering warmth left behind by Bryan.

She knew his mood could shift unpredictably, and she could sense the difference between his good and bad days.

Lost in her thoughts, she pondered the surreal feeling of his occasional kindness, almost like a dream.

After much consideration, she realized that knowing her place might ease some of her sadness.

With her decision made, she opened the car door and stepped out. She washed up and went to bed early.

The next morning, upon waking, she noticed a message from Bryan sent half an hour prior, requesting a ride to work from Oak Villas.

For a moment, it felt like everything had returned to normal.

At exactly seven-thirty, Eileen set off for Oak Villas, arriving promptly. By seven-forty, she had picked up Bryan, and they were en route to the company.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, Eileen noticed Bryan’s posture—legs slightly apart, hands resting on his knees as he sat upright.

He was looking at the scenery outside, seemingly the same as before.

Turning her focus back to the road ahead, Eileen was unaware that Bryan had turned his attention to her. Through the mirror, he could only see her full lips.

At a crossroads, Eileen licked her lips and took a deep breath, causing Bryan’s heart to flutter.

In the parking lot, Eileen happened to run into Vivian and Kian. Seeing Bryan and Eileen arrive together, Vivian noticeably tightened her grip on the strap of her bag.

Upon stepping out of the car, Eileen nodded in greeting to Kian. Bryan had already opened the door and was leisurely strolling over, one hand casually tucked in his pocket.

“Bryan, why did Eileen drive you here today?” Vivian couldn’t help but ask.
