Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 122

Chapter 122:

Eileen asked bluntly, “Judie has been fired. What’s your plan now?”

Several days had gone by since Judie was let go, yet she stubbornly remained in the city, even begging Roderick to ask Eileen for money.

But when she heard that Eileen was also quitting and planning to leave, she finally agreed to go back home.

“I’m getting ready to head back, Eileen. Here, take this money. It’s all I’ve got, and it’s the least I can do to help you out,” Roderick said.

He pulled a bundle of cash from inside his jacket, the bills catching the light in Eileen’s eyes. Eileen blinked twice, her lashes fluttering, and gave a small, relieved smile.

She pushed the money back towards Roderick and said, “No need; I have my own money, and you’ll need to spend a lot when you return. Keep it for yourself.”

“I’ll be staying in the old house; there’s not much to spend on. Just take the money.” Roderick stubbornly pressed the money into her hands. “I know I’ve caused trouble for you… But don’t hold it against Judie. She got manipulated by Vivian too. We come from a humble background; we can’t match the slickness of those wealthy folks.”

It wasn’t that they lacked the craftiness of someone like Vivian; it was that Roderick was simply less shrewd than Judie.

Eileen saw it all too clearly, but there was no need for her to spell it out for Roderick.

“Then think of it as me holding onto the money for you. If you ever need money, you can come and find me,” Eileen said.

She accepted the money without further protest and slipped it into her bag. “When do you plan to leave?” she asked.

“I’m catching the early bus tomorrow morning,” Roderick replied.

“Alright, take care on your journey,” Eileen advised, giving his shoulder a reassuring pat. The little boy she remembered from her childhood now stood half a head taller than her.

“Are you heading to the airport?” Roderick inquired, eyeing the luggage behind her.

Eileen nodded, and with a smile, pointed to his electric scooter. “Could you drop me off at the bus station?”

“Absolutely!” Roderick moved to her, hoisted her suitcase onto the scooter’s footrest, and climbed on.

He then patted the seat behind him. “Hop on.”

Eileen, somewhat hindered by her down jacket, managed to mount the scooter.

Ten minutes later, she was on the bus, gazing out the window.

Roderick stood at the bus stop, his eyes lingering on her until the bus began to move. At that moment, Eileen saw a tear escape Roderick’s eye. He quickly wiped it away and waved enthusiastically, his bulky clown jacket making him look even larger.

Two hours later, Eileen arrived at the airport, suitcase in tow.

Benjamin and Bailee were already there waiting.

Bailee couldn’t hold back her tears.

Eileen said, “Why didn’t we take Wish Land? Isn’t this what we always wanted?” She smoothed Bailee’s tousled hair. “The hospital has arranged for Mom to go to Wish Land. We’ll get settled, and this can all be together from now on.”
