Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 204

Chapter 204:

Bryan leaned back on the sofa, his tone cold as ice. “You and I had no relationship to speak of a year ago.”

It had been a year since Vivian’s outburst at the hospital, which led to Bryan terminating his agreement with Kian. That decision had caused Vivian’s condition to worsen upon discovering the truth. Since that incident, Kian had not reached out to Bryan again. Now, Kian’s words felt like hollow threats.

“Okay, I see. I hope you won’t regret your actions today,” Kian replied, anger flashing across his face, a mix of shock and indignation at Bryan’s merciless stance.

With that, Kian stormed out, leaving the room in tense silence. The others stood up, wanting to say something, but none followed him out.

Bryan remained seated, seemingly unaffected by the confrontation.

“Bryan, Kian is right. He can help you—” Zola began, but Bryan interjected sharply, “Help me with what? To repair my relationship with my father, or to fight him decisively? The core of the issue isn’t here. Don’t be naive.”

He gestured for Eileen to sit down and turned his gaze to Jacob. “Didn’t you ask us to mediate? You can continue your argument with Phoebe now.”

The room fell quiet, the tension thickening the air.

Jacob broke the silence by slamming his foot on the coffee table, fury lighting up his face. “Phoebe Burton, this isn’t over! Just two hundred and fifty dollars? Who do you think you’re fooling? Today, I’ll settle this by sleeping with you. I’m offering you two hundred and fifty-one dollars!” he shouted, rolling up his sleeves and charging toward Phoebe.

She swiftly dodged and fled, and the chase ensued amidst the room’s scattered furniture.

Eileen felt Bryan’s hand on her waist and turned to find him watching the commotion between Phoebe and Jacob with a playful grin. The dim light in the room cast soft shadows over him, his black shirt partially unbuttoned, adding to his allure.

As Eileen nestled closer into his hold, he tightened his grip slightly, his eyes lingering on her face, a mixture of amusement and admiration dancing in his gaze.

After that, their attention shifted to Jacob, who triumphantly hoisted Phoebe onto his shoulder as if claiming victory. “I’m off to spend some money. Two hundred and fifty-one dollars!” he announced with a grin.

Phoebe smacked his back hard, scoffing, “Two hundred and fifty-one dollars for only three minutes? Such a waste!”

Jacob scowled, lightly tapping her back as he retorted, “Nonsense!”

With that, he marched out of the room, still carrying Phoebe.

Zola rose from her seat, slipping her hand into her pocket. “I might as well leave, too. You couples have been parading your affection all evening. Bryan, give me a ride home.”

Bryan and Eileen stood up together, his arm firmly around her waist. Zola trailed behind them, her eyes sharp, observing their every move.
