Chapter 196

Chapter 196:

Bryan narrowed his eyes, his expression turning resigned.

“Have you taken your medicine?” he inquired.

Eileen shook her head. She had avoided eating the things Phoebe had purchased earlier.

Seeing this, Bryan fiddled with his phone for a moment. Soon, someone arrived with a meal that was easy on the stomach.

Feeling famished, Eileen ate while the food was still warm and then took her medicine. Previously, Bryan had been curious about what Stella had told Eileen, but now that he was with her, he didn’t mention the matter.

After Eileen finished eating, Bryan lay on the bed with her, turned on the TV, and held her close. The silence was thick with the sentiment of their recent time apart.

“Why haven’t you asked about what Stella told me?” Eileen queried.

Bryan responded, “I received a call from my grandmother on the way here.”

A sudden thought caused Eileen to tense up. “What did she tell you?” she asked, realizing she had forgotten to inform Stella that she hadn’t told Bryan about being his ex-wife.

“She simply told me to do as I please,” Bryan replied. This meant Stella’s approval; Bryan needed no further details.

“I’ve booked flight tickets for myself and Phoebe to go back to Wist Land tomorrow morning,” Eileen said. The booking had been made while Phoebe was drinking earlier. It was dark outside now, and their flight was less than twelve hours away.

Eileen wrapped her arms more tightly around Bryan, breathing in the comfort of his scent. Bryan’s fingers gently sifted through her hair as he leaned down to kiss her forehead softly.

“I’ll drive you to the airport then,” he said.

“Okay,” Eileen agreed, nestling into a more comfortable spot in his embrace.
