Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 280

Chapter 280:

The Dawson Mansion perched on the hillside, renowned as one of the finest homes in the country, let alone in Onaland. Valued at over a billion dollars, its price matched its majestic stature perfectly. The ambiance exuded grandeur, prompting Stella’s concern that Ruby might find it too imposing.

Stella’s thoughtful consideration made Eileen feel valued.

“Alright, I’ll talk to my mother about it later,” Eileen said. Bryan hurried through his meal and turned to Eileen. “I have a meeting coming up. It might keep me overnight. If you’re tired, feel free to go back to our room and wait.”

“Sure.” It wasn’t Eileen’s first time staying here, and she accepted the arrangement without hesitation.

Stella was elated, taking Eileen upstairs after dinner to tend to the flowers, her mind drifting to what life would be like after Eileen married Bryan. As her face was adorned with smile lines, Stella said, “It’s been seven years. Honestly, I initially urged Bryan to marry you out of anger. But as I got to know you better, I saw that you’re a good person. You’re ambitious and hardworking. You’ve kept promises and followed through on everything. Since getting married, you haven’t caused any trouble for me or Bryan.”

At that time, Stella had resolved that if Eileen ever treated the Dawson family like her personal ATM, asking for money, she would insist Bryan divorce her immediately. But Eileen had never done that. After signing the marriage contract, Eileen had never approached her again. Impressed by Eileen’s decisiveness, Stella had begun to take notice of her. She had even joined the company and diligently worked her way to a salary increase.

Gradually, Eileen had gained recognition as an assistant. As a result, Stella had seen potential in encouraging Eileen to engage with Bryan. It had been Stella’s initiative that had led Eileen to become Bryan’s special assistant.

Stella hadn’t been surprised that she hadn’t recognized Eileen; they had only met once at City Hall. After their marriage, it had been Stella who had kept the marriage certificate. She had wondered how Eileen had felt seeing Bryan, eager to gauge her reaction.

But it had turned out Eileen had continued to work diligently, which had made Bryan pleased with her. Stella’s admiration for Eileen grew, leading her to orchestrate for Eileen to end up in Bryan’s bed. But she hadn’t anticipated their relationship evolving into something else.

Stella had thought Eileen might become pregnant eventually. However, Eileen and Bryan had developed feelings for each other, yet Eileen was still not pregnant. Stella even wondered if Bryan might be infertile. Still, Stella chose not to discuss this with Eileen, fearing she might be seen as too manipulative.

All of a sudden, a noise from the corner startled Stella and Eileen.
