Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 141

Chapter 141:

The worst-case scenario was enduring the situation until Eileen finished tutoring Milford for three months. Or perhaps Bryan would return to Onaland before that, and Eileen believed she could make it through.

Eileen’s expression was fierce, but Bryan remained unfazed.

Instead of being angry, he laughed, taking a drag on his cigarette and blowing the smoke directly into Eileen’s face.

“It’s got nothing to do with whether you’re short of money or not. I’m a despicable person. I’ll do as I please!” he said.

The smoke induced violent coughing from Eileen. She broke free from his grip on her chin, only to clutch his fingers tightly as she coughed.

As she leaned down, his arms wrapped around her slender waist.

Tears welled up in Eileen’s eyes. Seeing her distress, Bryan placed a cigarette between his lips and gently patted her back.

Concerned that the ashes of the cigarette might fall on her, he tilted his head slightly.

It took a while for Eileen’s coughing to stop. Realizing she was still holding Bryan’s hand, she angrily bit into it.

Bryan winced in pain, pulling the cigarette from his mouth. “Let go!”

Eileen refused, and Bryan didn’t withdraw his hand. Eileen didn’t let go until the metallic taste of blood filled her mouth.

With flushed cheeks, she said angrily, “I’m not afraid of you.”

Bryan examined his bleeding wrist, clearly marked by Eileen’s bite, reminding him of the teeth marks he had left on her shoulder before in bed.

It would be a few more days before this could heal.

Suddenly, a mischievous idea crossed Bryan’s mind, causing his throat to tighten. Just then, a honk from outside interrupted his thoughts.

“Let’s wait and see,” Bryan declared before turning and walking away.

Meanwhile, inside the car, Raymond delivered a firm slap to Milford’s head. “Why did you do that?”

Clutching his head, Milford saw Bryan exiting, prompting him to hurriedly move from the passenger seat to the back.

In a hushed tone, he muttered, “I couldn’t see properly!”

In his attempt to get a better view, he had accidentally leaned forward and honked the horn.

“That’s not for you to see!” Raymond said. He swiftly unlocked the car to let Bryan in.
