Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 230

Chapter 230:

Bryan’s kiss stirred Eileen awake, and his warm breath and the refreshing scent of his shower gel filled her senses. Almost instinctively, she responded to his kiss, intensifying his desire.

Just as they were about to do something more intimate, the doorbell abruptly chimed, its sound reverberating throughout the house. Hastily, Eileen pushed Bryan aside, fastened her pajamas, and smoothed her long hair to conceal the blush on her cheeks before answering the door.

“Mom?” Eileen was taken aback to find Ruby standing outside. Ruby had arrived on her own, with the door across from Eileen’s place still open. She gestured toward it. “Eileen, come over for breakfast…”

Milford had already gone for breakfast. He and Bailee both assumed that since Eileen was still in bed, Bryan must have been at her place. However, unaware of this, Ruby had come over to knock on Eileen’s door while Bailee was preoccupied.

As soon as she finished talking, Ruby noticed a mark on Eileen’s neck. Though faint, it was unmistakable to her keen eye. After a brief pause, Ruby’s expression turned awkward, and she quickly shook her head, saying, “No. I should go.”

“Not, Mom!” Eileen stammered, feeling the embarrassment of being caught in a romantic encounter like a young girl. Seeing Ruby hurry away, she refrained from following, fearing Ruby might stumble in her haste.

Watching Ruby enter her house and shut the door, Eileen was about to turn and head back inside when the elevator doors suddenly opened. Raymond emerged from the elevator, meeting Eileen’s gaze for a second before approaching.

“Ms. Curtis, I’ve brought some clothes for Mr. Dawson,” he said. “Please, come in.” Eileen stepped aside to allow him entry. Despite her burning ears, her demeanor remained composed.

Raymond paused at the doorway, handing Eileen Bryan’s clothes. “I won’t come in,” he said. “Mr. Dawson’s grandmother wants you back for lunch. Make sure to remind Mr. Dawson of this.”

Expressing gratitude, Eileen accepted the clothes and watched Raymond leave before returning to her room. Since it was still early, Eileen planned to address some issues, but Bryan was adamant about fulfilling his desires. After tempering his immediate desires to a certain extent, Bryan changed into the clothes provided by Raymond.

Despite his initial fatigue, Bryan now exuded contentment, tinged with a lingering sense of desire. They enjoyed breakfast outdoors, and Eileen purchased gifts tailored to Stella’s preferences. In a sense, this marked her first official visit. Although she had visited the Dawson Mansion numerous times before, her sentiments this time were vastly different.
