Chapter 139:

Under the shelter of the black umbrella, Bryan’s features shifted to an icy demeanor.

Under Bryan’s mocking gaze, Eileen was so angry that she couldn’t help but snap, even though she didn’t mean what she said.

“Without Milford’s tutoring, our paths wouldn’t have crossed again. Even now, my hope is that we can maintain just the simple relationship of a tutor and the student’s guardian.”

He adjusted his tie and said with a strained voice, “Eileen, our relationship is destined to be anything but simple. Keep your distance from Emmett!”

His voice, rough and low, seemed strangely alluring given the situation.

Eileen began to respond,

But Bryan interjected sharply, “Say another word, and you’ll regret it.”

His menacing gaze served as a stern warning against further protests.
