Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 183

Chapter 183:

Milford was determined and physically stronger than Eileen, which meant Eileen couldn’t stop him if he decided to leave. After a brief standoff, Eileen gave in. “Fine, I won’t tell them. Why don’t you stay here tonight?” she said.

Feeling relieved, Milford handed her phone back to her. Upon exiting the elevator, they were greeted by the sharp scent of disinfectant, causing Milford to grimace. When Bailee saw Eileen return with a young boy, she was shocked.

“This is my student. He’s been having problems at home,” Eileen explained briefly. Bailee had seen Milford when he had first visited the educational agency, but he looked so different now. She hardly recognized him.

“Your clothes are thin. Here, take this jacket for now. Are you hungry?” Bailee asked while pulling out a jacket from a suitcase. Milford paused for a moment when he saw Ruby lying on the bed, then quietly sat on the sofa. Eileen could tell Milford hadn’t had dinner and reheated the meal Bailee had prepared earlier.

“Have something to eat,” she urged. Perhaps out of hunger, Milford began to eat voraciously after a brief hesitation. However, he chose not to wear the jacket that Bailee offered.

Despite promising Milford she wouldn’t inform Bryan and the others, Eileen sent a discreet message to Bryan. “Milford is with me in the hospital. Please don’t worry. I’ll talk to him to calm him down before sending him back. He’s not in a stable state right now.” Bryan soon responded, “OK.”

Afterwards, Eileen deleted the chat history. She offered the sofa for Milford to sleep on overnight, but Milford declined, choosing instead to sleep on the floor. “You take the sofa since you’re watching over the patient. I’m a young man; I’ll be fine on the floor,” Milford said.

He put two cushions on the floor, found a blanket, and laid down without further discussion. He didn’t bother to say anything more. Eileen didn’t ask why he had run away from home or when he would like to go back.

At Pianoforte Villas, Bryan stepped out of the car. The bright moonlight cast a long shadow of his slender figure. He walked to the door and opened it, followed closely by Zola.

“Bryan, where on earth has he gone? If you’ve found him, why didn’t you bring him home?” Zola asked.

“He doesn’t want to come back. Let him calm down first,” Bryan replied as he set down the car keys, slipped into his slippers, and entered the living room. Zola was still so agitated that she didn’t bother to change her shoes.

“Has he done something bad? Be honest with me. I can handle it.” Bryan was visibly annoyed. He loosened his tie and lit a cigarette. “It’s not about what you can handle. He simply doesn’t want to come home. What exactly did you say to him?”
