Chapter 211

Chapter 211:

Eileen took a seat between Zola and Phoebe, while Bryan ended up at the opposite end of the table. The atmosphere in the private room was strange; it wasn’t exactly awkward, nor was it filled with obvious tension. Jacob attempted to lighten the mood, and the others contributed with occasional chatter, creating a seemingly lively atmosphere. Yet, Vivian’s and Megan’s eyes were laced with subtle hostility. Kian remained calm, contributing sparingly to Jacob’s efforts at conversation, as if their previous heated meeting had never happened.

“Miss Murray, I need to discuss something about Milford with you,” Eileen said to Zola.

Zola was about to take a sip of her drink when she paused, setting it down. “Of course, it’s unusual for you to bring up Milford.”

In the dimly lit private room, a light shone directly above Eileen, casting a circle of illumination around her. She leaned closer to Zola, asking, “Has Milford come back yet?”

Zola shook her head and replied, “No, despite several attempts, I haven’t been able to reach him.”

“He’s stubborn but clever. He might be a bit rebellious at times, but he has a good heart. I think he needs more understanding and patience from you, Miss Murray. He’ll definitely meet your expectations in the future,” Eileen said, her worry evident as she thought about how long Milford had been away from home.

Not far away, Bryan was talking with Jacob, occasionally casting glances toward Eileen. He believed he understood what Eileen and Zola were discussing.

Seated casually on the sofa with his legs crossed, Bryan was leisurely smoking a cigarette when he heard Kian suddenly suggest, “How about a game of pool? It’s been a while since I last played.”

Jacob stood up, eagerly pulling Bryan with him. “Let’s go. I’ve been looking forward to a good game since you arrived in Wist Land…”

Bryan couldn’t decline Jacob’s enthusiastic invitation. He shot Eileen a meaningful look before following Jacob.

As Eileen’s attention shifted away from Bryan, she noticed Megan and Vivian exchanging smirks.

Eileen chose to ignore it and continued her conversation with Zola. “Of course, you’re Milford’s older sister. It’s your call whether he should continue his tutoring sessions. I just think you should find him soon; it’s not safe for him out there.”
