Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 266

Chapter 266:

Judie was unfazed by the accusations being hurled at her. Her mind was occupied with the news that Eileen was about to marry Bryan. Instead of responding, she hung up the call and opened the news. Just ten minutes ago, an announcement stating Bryan was about to get married to Eileen had come out, accompanied by a photo of Bryan kissing Eileen. Although only Eileen’s side profile was visible in the photo, Judie recognized her immediately. Prominently displayed on Eileen’s hand, pressed against Bryan’s chest, was a large diamond ring.

Judie believed the ring must be extremely valuable. She swiftly captured a screenshot of the article and sent it to Denise Moran, Eileen’s biological mother. Then, she quickly called Denise. “You can clear your gambling debts now. Check out the news I just sent you. Eileen is engaged to Bryan. She’s your daughter, and you’ll be related to the wealthy Dawson family.”

Filled with thoughts of unending wealth, Judie, who had previously cast Denise out, now wanted to bring her back. She quickly purchased a ticket to Onaland.

The recently constructed buildings in Onaland were designed to include spacious apartments. Though not standalone villas, the prime location made them highly desirable. The view from the buildings provided a stunning overlook of Onaland’s entire landscape. The buildings had received much attention before Eileen’s departure.

Eileen had been on a business trip with Bryan in a nearby city, lounging on his hotel bed, when she had seen the promotional material. She had glanced at the promotional leaflet for just a couple of seconds. Bryan had noticed this and asked, “You like this?” Unable to outright say that she liked it, she had replied that she had just been looking at it casually.

But she hadn’t expected that Bryan could see through her. Bryan had remembered this. Once the buildings were completed seven months ago, he had secured the finest apartment available. Spanning over five hundred square meters, the apartment’s layout was breathtaking. The interior was simply decorated, and furniture was yet to be arranged. Standing in the center of the large living room, Eileen felt a bit lost.

“Why did you bring me here?” she asked.

“It’s our new home,” Bryan replied. Seeing Eileen stand by the floor-to-ceiling windows, still lost in thought, Bryan gestured to her and said, “Come here.”

Around three in the afternoon, the sun streamed into the room. The intense midday sunlight had softened into a warm, reddish glow that spilled through the window. Eileen and Bryan could see the bustling city outside through the windows. A large area of clouds glowed brilliantly in the sunlight as if painted across the sky, creating a breathtaking view. Resting against Bryan’s chest, Eileen basked in the sun’s warmth.

“Why is the apartment so empty?” she asked. She thought it would be more comfortable if there was a sofa.

“I want to wait for your decision. Later, the designer will reach out to discuss the style of the decor with you,” Bryan replied.

Bryan remembered Eileen complaining about his villa’s decor before. But Eileen had forgotten about it; still, she felt moved when she heard he wanted to leave the choice to her. “Alright, Mr. Dawson. I’m looking forward to a joyful marriage.” Eileen stood directly across from him and extended her hand for a handshake.

Bryan couldn’t resist a smile as he took her hand and playfully tapped her forehead. “Come on, I’ll take you on a tour of the apartment.”

The wedding was only two months away, making it crucial to order the furniture promptly. Eileen was particularly concerned about how the children’s room would be set up. This time, Bryan wasn’t as hesitant as he used to be about discussing children. He seriously engaged in the planning.
