Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 170

Chapter 170:

The three-bedroom apartment was spacious. But compared to Bryan’s house, it seemed quite modest. As Bryan stood in the living room, his presence made the space seem cramped. His scent quickly filled the air. He tossed the water bottle into the trash, shrugged off his suit jacket, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt. Slumping onto the couch, he massaged his forehead.

Looking up, he asked, “Got anything to eat?”

“Of course,” Eileen replied. She could see he was tired. She headed into the kitchen, took the ravioli from the fridge, and cooked them. In less than twenty minutes, the ravioli was ready. Eileen brought the plate to Bryan along with a fork.

“Aren’t you having any?” Bryan asked, noticing the single fork.

Eileen shook her head. “I ate earlier, before tutoring Milford.”

Hearing that, Bryan began to eat, his face softening, an improvement from his reaction to the spaghetti she had once made. While he ate, she showered. When Eileen emerged from the bathroom, Bryan had finished his meal and washed the dishes.

Since she didn’t have pajamas that fit him, he wrapped himself in Eileen’s bath towel and went straight into her bedroom after showering. He lay down on her bed, naked under the towel. Eileen braced for what might come next, but Bryan simply rested his arm around her waist and nestled his head in the crook of her neck and shoulder. His breath tickled her collarbone, and within ten minutes, he was asleep.

But Eileen remained awake. She shifted slightly to grab her phone from the nightstand, spotting a message from Phoebe sent half an hour earlier. “I wonder what Jacob and Bryan have been up to lately. Whenever Jacob returns home, he is exhausted.”

Eileen rested her chin on Bryan’s head. His short hair prickled her. She recalled his appearance at her door earlier, noticeably quieter than usual. His expression had been etched with fatigue. Eileen figured he had been so hungry that he had needed to eat before he could even think of sleep.

his expression darkening. He walked into the living room and picked up the phone. Eileen could hear a woman’s voice on the other end of Bryan’s call. Bryan’s tone was unusually soft as he spoke with her. After the call, their earlier conversation was left unresolved. Eileen felt a subtle shift in their relationship, though she couldn’t pinpoint

Bryan didn’t respond to her message. Eileen checked her home surveillance and saw no sign of him in her apartment. His belongings were still in her bedroom. His toiletries were in her bathroom, a
