Chapter 191

Chapter 191:

Eileen casually got dressed and hurried downstairs, opening the door just before the doorbell could ring again.

“What took you so long?” Milford grumbled as he pushed his way into the living room with a bag.

Raymond followed closely behind him, wearing a resigned expression. “Sorry for bothering you, Ms. Curtis.”

“Why didn’t you go back to Onaland?” Eileen asked, surprised to see Raymond.

“Mr. Dawson asked me to stay here,” Raymond replied with a respectful smile, hopeful for the good days ahead. He believed that winning Eileen’s favor while Bryan was away would be the smartest move he could make.

Eileen had a rough idea of why Bryan wanted Raymond to stay.

“I’ll stay here until Mr. Dawson gets back from Onaland,” Raymond added. “Then I’ll get a vacation.”

He followed Eileen inside and shut the door.

Realizing that Raymond would be spending Christmas here, Eileen paused before saying, “You don’t have to, Raymond. You should spend Christmas Eve with your family.”

“I grew up with the Dawson family,” Raymond explained. He didn’t have a family of his own.

Eileen fell silent for a moment, then smiled. “It looks like you’ll have a lively Christmas this year. Let’s celebrate it together.”

“That would be great,” Raymond replied, warmth filling his chest. Despite Eileen’s friendliness, he reminded himself to maintain a respectful distance.

Bryan had instructed Raymond to accompany Milford at Pianoforte Villas for a few days and bring Milford to Eileen the day before Christmas Eve. But Milford had disagreed; ever since Zola left, he had nearly driven Raymond mad.

“Ms. Curtis, Mr. Dawson wants me to drive you to work and pick you up each day. Are you heading to work now?” Raymond inquired.

Eileen glanced at Milford, who had settled on the couch and was now playing with his phone.

“Yeah. Just give me half an hour,” she replied.

She went to her bedroom to change. When she came back, she brought a few exam papers and several textbooks.

“I’ll take you to the Vance family’s residence this afternoon. Before I come back to pick you up, finish the papers and read the textbooks,” Eileen instructed Milford.

Milford glanced at the stack of books and papers and nearly dropped his phone.

“That’s too much!” he exclaimed.
