Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 222

Chapter 222:

The car was illuminated under a streetlamp, gradually coming into Zola’s view. As Jacob drove closer, Zola could make out indistinct shadows inside the vehicle, unsure if she was imagining things.

Her irritation grew, and she snapped, “Why are we going back? Are you crazy? Let’s go!”

Jacob squinted but couldn’t see anything clearly. He sighed and drove away, wondering if Bryan had Eileen completely under his control or if the reverse was true. Jacob was eager to learn Bryan’s techniques; he wanted to have Phoebe under his control as well.

Lost in thought, he didn’t notice Zola’s tense demeanor in the backseat. In the dimly lit car, Zola clenched her hands tightly on her lap, her nails digging into her flesh. Her eyes were glued to the rearview mirror, watching Bryan’s car slowly fade from view. She thought she saw the car tremble, which startled her, prompting her to quickly close her eyes.

Bryan had consumed some liquor, so Eileen was supposed to drive. Just as she was about to start the engine, Bryan grabbed her hand, stopping her. He was slightly drunk, and the faint smell of tobacco and alcohol made him even more appealing to her.

She didn’t pull her hand back and said with a hint of sarcasm, “My hands are rough and tough, not as soft and tender as that girl next to you. Why do you want to touch me anyway?”

After a brief silence, Bryan let out a low chuckle. He rested his head against the seatback, the veins on his neck visible, giving him a wild look. His laughter made Eileen’s heart flutter. When she tried to pull her hand back, he tightened his grip.

“What are you laughing at? Was I wrong about my comment? She’s in her twenties, younger and prettier than me. Can you honestly say she’s not more attractive?” Eileen retorted.

Eileen admitted that she was feeling jealous. For the first time, she realized she felt threatened by the younger generation. Those younger women were beautiful and fit.

Bryan’s striking looks and dignified demeanor made him irresistible to women. Eileen suddenly wondered what would happen when she aged.

“Stray cats only wander because they’re not fed enough,” Bryan said in a deep voice, leaning slightly toward Eileen in the dimly lit car. His hand reached up to weave through her long hair, his fingers brushing her cheek softly, the slight roughness quickening her breath.

He continued, “So, make sure to keep me well-fed before I step out of the house in the future.” He closed the gap between them, his breath heavy with the aroma of alcohol as he kissed her.

Confined to the driver’s seat, Eileen responded passionately, clutching his muscular forearm. His forearm felt cool and solid. He quickly grasped her wrist, deepening their kiss as if he couldn’t wait to have her right there in the car. His low moans filled the vehicle, resonating in the confined space.

He had indeed had too much to drink that night, considering how Bernard had kept urging him to indulge. Bryan understood Bernard’s intentions clearly; the wine Dora had spilled on him was part of their calculated play. It had crossed the line. If Eileen hadn’t shown up, Bryan would have caused a scene.

Eileen had remained silent when jealous, appearing unaffected. Earlier at the table, Bryan had felt a strong desire to have her immediately, curious to see if she could maintain her composure under such circumstances.
