Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 281

Chapter 281:

Eileen rolled over and snuggled into Bryan’s arms, breathing in his familiar scent. At that, Bryan realized it wasn’t that he was always desiring more; it was that she was addictive. He tenderly brushed her hair back from her face, accidentally waking her in the process.

Half-awake, Eileen began to slip off her nightgown.

“Are you done with your work? Let’s get started,” she said, her intention being merely to get things done quickly so they could sleep early, nothing more.

Bryan took her hand gently to stop her and planted a kiss on her cheek.

“I’ll let you rest tonight. You can just sleep,” he said.

“To sleep?” Eileen replied, her voice a bit hoarse.

“Alright,” Bryan responded, drawing near and resting against her soft form.

While Eileen quickly slipped back into sleep, Bryan stayed awake, his desire keeping him restless.

A message from Stella vibrated Eileen’s phone, which was on her pillow.

“Don’t mention the matter for now. Let’s keep this between us until the moment is right.”

The phone’s screen lit up, showing the start of the message. Bryan’s brow furrowed as he caught a glimpse of the message before the screen faded to black. He pressed his lips together, kissed Eileen’s forehead, and at last drifted off to sleep.

Stella had sent the text feeling anxious. Having known Zola and Bryan since they were children, she found Zola likable. She was somewhat fond of Zola, but she didn’t completely trust her. She feared her message might startle Eileen and make her confess to Bryan at the wrong time, causing a divide between her and Bryan. So, she retracted the message within two minutes.

As night fell, the villa was enveloped in darkness, the cold winds of early winter swirling fallen leaves around. Early the next morning, the servants at Dawson Mansion began cleaning up the yard. When Eileen woke up, she noticed Stella’s withdrawn message and dismissed it, thinking that Stella might only have made a mistake.
