Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 256

Chapter 256:

Eileen bit Bryan’s shoulder, seemingly releasing her frustration. Bryan emitted a muffled groan, the veins on his neck popping as a playful thought came to his mind.

He toyed with her, dangling her just before she could climb.

“Are you doing this on purpose?” Eileen clenched her teeth in irritation and warned, “I’ll count to three, and if you don’t stop doing this, I’m putting on my pants and walking out!” Her voice was whiny, and though it lacked real threat, her annoyance was evident. Finally, Bryan gave in.

The room remained dim and charged with desire until the early morning light came in through the window.

Eileen was lying on her stomach, her dark hair fanned out, her slender form contrasting with her fair skin.

Bryan, feeling content, draped a light blanket over her, his dark eyes brimming with deep affection.

Ten minutes later, Eileen’s alarm went off. Noticing her deep sleep and the fatigue etched on her delicate face, Bryan turned.

He thought for a moment, then got dressed and sent a message to Milford, asking him to tell Bailee that Eileen was handling some work at home.

Eileen always planned her schedule beforehand to remind herself of the next day’s tasks.

Her tasks included grading a few students’ assignments and preparing some online course materials.

Bryan looked at Eileen’s previous course materials and, in under thirty minutes, he recorded the upcoming lesson as she had planned.

Bryan’s productivity was exceptionally high. Not only did he finish Eileen’s tasks while she rested, but he also attended to some work matters for Apex Group.

By noon, Eileen was awakened by the sound of typing. She opened her eyes, saw Bryan working on his laptop by the window, and slightly furrowed her brow. “I’m hungry.”

Upon hearing this, Bryan immediately closed his laptop and brought her the soup he had made, setting it on the bedside table.

He then assisted her into a nightgown, helped her into the bathroom to freshen up, and brushed her long hair, moving around efficiently.

After eating, Eileen remembered the work she needed to do. She believed she would have to work till the night to finish her tasks today.

Yet, to her astonishment, Bryan had completed it for her. He had even done a bit of the work she had scheduled for the following day, sorting out some issues for Apex Group. “I needed to clear them today so that I can go with you to the educational seminar tomorrow,” Bryan said, continuing his work, explaining why he hadn’t helped her finish her tasks for tomorrow.

“Then carry on with your work. I’m going to join my mother for a walk downstairs,” Eileen said as she changed. After a moment, she added, “On Saturday, I’ll introduce you to her.”
