Chapter 74

Chapter 74:

Vivian was dressed in a light purple dress, her hair cascading loosely around her shoulders, her makeup subtle yet stunning.

She embraced Kristi warmly before they both headed to the castle’s rear garden.

Maney and his wife had their wedding anniversary banquet scheduled for eight in the morning. Despite it being only seven, the arrival of some early guests wasn’t surprising.

The garden looked enchanting, adorned with a long table brimming with assorted wines and flowers, while another table was piled high with food.

To the east stood the castle, bisected by a river, painting a perfect backdrop.

But Eileen wasn’t in the mood to soak in the beauty. She glanced at Bryan, who was still lying in bed.

She said, “Mr. Warren and Miss Warren have arrived.”

At that moment, Bryan’s eyes snapped open.

He sat up, tossed aside the thin quilt, and rose from the bed to join her. He paused to look outside, his eyes cold.

“Head down for breakfast. Mrs. Hamilton will help you change,” he said. “I’m going downstairs.”

He then turned and strode to the cloakroom to change. After freshening up in the bathroom, Eileen emerged to find Bryan had already left.

Eileen believed he had gone to meet Vivian. Even if he had told Vivian about this before, his presence here with Eileen would surely spark Vivian’s anger. He would need to explain to Vivian at least.

Eileen had been looking forward to a pleasant final two days at the castle, yet that hope was fading now.

With a bitter smile, she made her way to the cloakroom to change her outfit.

“Hello, Mrs. Dawson. Mr. Dawson asked to prepare breakfast for you. Would you like it now?” A servant approached Eileen as she descended the stairs.

Eileen nodded and smiled. “Yes, thank you.”

“You’re welcome, Mrs. Dawson.” The servant led her to the dining room and said warmly, “Mr. Dawson is so thoughtful. Last night, he used our kitchen to make soup for you. I learned the recipe from him. I hope it’s nearly as good as his.”

It dawned on Eileen that the bowl of soup from yesterday had been prepared by Bryan himself.

Eileen felt a swirl of emotions as the aroma of the soup enveloped her now.

She tried to recall the flavor from last night, but the details were fuzzy.
