Chapter 146:

Milford, head slightly tilted, broke the silence of the room. “May I come in?”

“Yes!” Adalina exclaimed, her voice tinged with excitement.

Peering around as he entered, Milford surveyed the room’s decor, his eyebrows arching slightly.

Sitting down, he pulled his phone from his pocket, his face adopting a cool detachment. “Those people downstairs are too much. I think I’ll hang out here for a bit,” he said.

“Those people? Is Bryan downstairs?” Eileen asked, her brow furrowing.

Seeing Eileen, Milford’s impatience was palpable, and his tone was far from courteous. “Why else would I be here?”

At a loss for words, Eileen wondered if it was too late for her to leave now.

Silence enveloped the room again, with each person absorbed in their own thoughts.

About ten minutes later, servants ascended to invite them to dinner.

Eileen led the way downstairs, with Milford close behind and Adalina trailing behind them.

Eileen caught sight of Bryan lounging on the sofa.

The chill emanating from his black suit contrasted sharply with his relaxed posture.

A cigarette dangled between his fingers, his gaze lifting to meet Eileen’s through the veil of smoke.

The light captured Eileen’s image. Her casual attire was complemented by a fluffy ponytail, with strands gently resting on her shoulders.

Her skin radiated flawlessness, and her soft refined features, especially her eyes and eyebrows, conveyed a serene purity.

Bryan lifted his eyebrows briefly before he averted his gaze, murmuring something to Denzel.

Then, Denzel and Ryann turned to look at Eileen and the others.

“Dad, Mom!” Adalina’s voice echoed as she dashed downstairs, brushing past Milford and Eileen to reach Denzel and Ryann, who stood to embrace their daughter and smooth her disheveled hair.

“This is Mr. Dawson.” Denzel gestured towards Bryan, prompting Adalina to greet him.

With a shy smile, Adalina said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Dawson.”

After a brief exchange of nods with Denzel and Ryann, Eileen approached Bryan, offering a greeting, “Hello, Mr. Dawson.”

“Well, everyone is here. Let’s eat,” Denzel said.

He then turned to Adalina. “Honey, please welcome Milford and—”

He hesitated before saying, “Calling Eileen Ms. Curtis seems too formal, don’t you think?”

“Understood!” Adalina nodded, then turned to Eileen.

“Eileen, is it alright if I just call you that?”

At that moment, Bryan, who was about to extinguish his cigarette and stand up, paused abruptly and glanced at Eileen.
