Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 76

Chapter 76:

Eileen, overwhelmed with panic, struggled to mask her emotions.

She found herself speechless.

Despite three years of marriage, she had never once considered asking Bryan for financial support.

However, practically, all the money she had used for Ruby’s treatment and purchasing cars and houses had come from Bryan.

Who would buy the idea that she hadn’t intentionally approached Bryan?

Eileen said, “Mr. Dawson, given that she never sought anything from you, I assume you were satisfied with the arrangement. Once we’re back in Onaland, I’ll draft a divorce agreement. What are your thoughts?”

She couldn’t conceal it any longer. She couldn’t admit to him that, as his special assistant, she couldn’t even uncover the identity of his wife.

Sending the divorce papers was her plea for him not to complicate matters.

Bryan, for some inexplicable reason, was agitated. Adjusting his tie, he gazed at her. “Fine. Give her twenty million dollars, just like before.”

Twenty million was a considerable sum, which moved Eileen.

If she left Bryan, she would receive twenty million dollars upfront. At least for the next two years, she wouldn’t have to worry about Ruby’s medical expenses.

Though her mouth was filled with dessert now, she couldn’t taste its sweetness.

As the afternoon banquet concluded, Maney led Bryan and the others to go horseback riding.

Behind Rose Manor lay a vast expanse of green grass, where several white horses roamed freely.

Bryan, clad in a navy blue riding suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and slender waist, wore a black helmet and white gloves.

His tall figure towered slightly over Maney.

Kristi couldn’t help but say, “Eileen, you’re truly lucky to be with such a man.”

Eileen instinctively smiled and replied, “Yes, I consider myself fortunate.”

Even though her involvement with Bryan had started unintentionally, without him, she would have faced challenging circumstances over the past few years.

“How did you two get together? Who made the move?” Kristi asked curiously.

Kristi always had the impression that Bryan wouldn’t be the one to pursue a relationship first, but she hadn’t thought that Eileen would make the first move either.

After a moment of contemplation, Eileen replied, “Circumstances brought us together, and both of us have been rather passive in this situation.”

Kristi didn’t quite grasp Eileen’s meaning and simply blinked in response.

Eileen added, “You could say we got married before we fell in love.”
