Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 263

Chapter 263:

The car window was partially lowered, revealing Bryan’s satisfied smile. “I’m taking Eileen to her student’s place. You guys can head upstairs.”

“No problem, brother-in-law,” Bailee seized the opportunity to call Bryan that.

Watching Bryan’s car drive away, Huey asked, “Bailee, why are you calling him that?”

“He’s marrying my sister in a few months and will be my brother-in-law soon,” Bailee replied, linking arms with Huey as they walked into the apartment building. Huey hesitated for a second, a frown forming. “Isn’t this a bit awkward? Remember, he and I have never really gotten along.”

It would be a bit awkward if they became family in the future.

“That’s not true,” Bailee retorted. “Your antics before are child’s play to him. He has never taken them to heart.”

“Child’s play?” Huey replied, feeling slightly offended. He was indeed younger than Bryan by several years but didn’t appreciate being dismissed like this. Before, he had deleted Bryan’s gaming account and contact information. If he met Bryan next time, how could he overcome the awkwardness of having deleted him? After much thought, he came up with a plan.

“Apex!”

Apex was a mutual acquaintance. Huey decided to team up with Apex for a gaming session soon. He would act as if he didn’t know Bryan and re-add him.

Satisfied with his plan, Huey brightened up and stepped into the elevator with Bailee.

“Bailee, my birthday is the day after tomorrow. Can you spend the day with me then?” Huey asked.

Bailee thought about her schedule and found herself in a dilemma. “The day after tomorrow is Tuesday. I have a lot to handle at the educational agency then. I can’t spend the day with you, but I’ll make time for a celebration.”

“I saw you working even during meals. Why are you always so busy?” Huey missed the good old days. Back then, whenever he suggested a place to go, Bailee would accompany him. He used to be able to give her time off whenever he wished.

Bailee was resigned. “What can I possibly do? I’m swamped with work. Can I make it up to you when I have free time?”

“Sure,” Huey responded, though his face showed clear disappointment.

The Yates family’s daughter was in high school. She was lively and endearing, much like her mother. However, she was somewhat playful and occasionally distracted. Eileen found she needed to keep a close eye on her during their tutoring sessions.

Eileen had visited the Yates’ home several times, but today was her first encounter with Brent Yates, their son. He was tall and solidly built, with big eyes. While he wasn’t exactly a heartthrob, he was certainly good-looking.

Bryan knew him; it seemed their paths had crossed in business. As a result, they engaged in light conversation in the living room.

Upstairs, Eileen was tutoring Moira Yates. Halfway through, she noticed Moira’s mind was elsewhere. “Moira, we’re in the middle of a lesson. What’s on your mind?” Eileen asked.

“I’m thinking about your younger sister,” Moira blurted out.
