Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 175

Chapter 175:

Every time Eileen encountered Bryan, she felt compelled to reconsider their relationship. Their connection had largely been physical over the years, and it seemed he had grown accustomed to just that. In contrast, Eileen had invested both emotionally and physically. No matter how this relationship would continue, she felt like she would be the one who suffered a loss.

To manage her feelings, she quickly masked any emotion, maintaining a calm demeanor as if her relationship with Bryan was just an ordinary former superior-subordinate relationship. During the meal, Zola engaged Benjamin in discussions about the Warren family’s affairs. She conversed with Jacob as well, though she maintained a courteous distance. Her interactions with Bryan appeared more personal; she often leaned closer to whisper something to him. Eileen, trying to stay detached, concentrated on her meal and made small talk with Phoebe.

Midway through dinner, Zola turned the topic to Milford, expressing concern about his challenging nature. She said, “Milford is difficult to manage. I’m not sure Ms. Curtis is the right fit to tutor him, given that she’s a woman and still young.” Eileen was initially taken aback by the remark, but upon further reflection on the argument that night, she believed it was reasonable for Zola to think this way.

“Ms. Murray, I appreciate your concern for Milford’s education,” Eileen responded thoughtfully. “Since he’s been out of school and is starting academically from the beginning, achieving even a passing grade under these circumstances is commendable. My goal is to impart knowledge that he can internalize, not to impose it through coercion.”

Zola’s suggestion that a young woman might not be suitable hinted at her preference for a male tutor, perhaps one physically imposing enough to enforce discipline. But Milford’s response to discipline would only be defiance. He would resist any attempt to control him.

“Simply aiming for passing grades? Your expectations are too modest. I doubt Milford could secure a spot in one of Onaland’s top high schools in just six months,” Zola said, unable to abandon her stance.

As Milford’s sister and legal guardian, Zola’s approval was crucial for the tutoring to proceed. Eileen, attempting to reassure Zola, explained, “I’m content with Milford’s progress for now, and you’ll need to see more improvement as time proceeds. Mr. Dawson chose me for this role, and I believe he made that decision after careful consideration. But if you remain dissatisfied, perhaps considering another tutor might be an option.”

Eileen had expressed all she felt necessary. She had mentioned Bryan for a reason, believing that Bryan hadn’t chosen her just because he knew her. She thought Bryan had faith in her qualifications and the reputation of her educational institution.

Upon hearing Eileen’s defense, Zola turned to Bryan, saying, “From what I gather, Ms. Curtis lacks professional training. Did you overlook this when choosing her as Milford’s tutor? I’ve mentioned before that my goal is for Milford to boost his grades significantly and swiftly.”
