Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 125

Chapter 125:

The man stood before Eileen, wrapped minimally in a bath towel tied around his waist, moisture still clinging to his freshly washed hair.

The sight of his immaculate, familiar back sent a chill running through Eileen and momentarily robbed her of breath.

The familiar aroma of pine filled her senses as she looked at the man’s back.

Her legs failed her, rendering her motionless.

Suddenly, a youthful voice, likely belonging to a teenager, questioned her presence.

“What are you doing here?”

Regaining her composure, Eileen turned to see Milford at the door of the room, brandishing a toy gun.

“My apologies for the interruption,” Eileen quickly explained, while the man inside paid her no heed.

The man looked remarkably like Bryan. Could Bryan actually be in Wist Land?

After composing herself, Eileen said to Milford, “You’re the one who directed me to the first room on the left on the second floor? This isn’t your room at all.”

Milford spun around and headed up to the third floor, saying, “I didn’t tell you that. The mistake was yours for entering the wrong room.”

When the educational agency had introduced Milford, his reluctant expression had been unmistakable.

Given his evident reluctance, Eileen was not surprised he would lie to her, so she didn’t say anything and followed him quietly to the third floor.

Milford led the way into the first room on the left side of the third floor, with Eileen trailing behind.

Stepping inside, Eileen was immediately struck by the disarray of a bedroom in use: an unmade bed, toys and video game consoles scattered everywhere, and a pile of tattered books relegated to a corner.

“Stay there; don’t come inside,” Milford said, settling onto the sofa and casually starting a game on his iPad.

Eileen, standing in the doorway, recognized the game’s distinct sound—it was unmistakably the one developed by Huey.

As she stood at the doorway, she asked, “Is this your study room?”

“It’s the one next door,” Milford responded, his attention fixed on the game, not bothering to look up.

Eileen moved to the neighboring room, discovering a large study filled with an eclectic mix of literature.

The shelves were crammed with novels and various books on gaming and sports, none particularly scholarly.

The few textbooks in sight were in poor condition, tossed carelessly into the trash bin.

Eileen sighed before returning to Milford’s bedroom.
