Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 286:

It took a slap on the back of his head from Phoebe for Jacob to realize what was happening.

“Eileen, have you picked out your best man and maid of honor yet?” Phoebe turned to ask Eileen.

Eileen shook her head. “Not yet, but we’re considering a few candidates, including you, Jacob, Bailee, and Huey. Milford heard about the wedding and is excited to be best man. He might even bring the girl from the Vance family to liven things up. The more, the merrier.” She had some potential choices in mind, just waiting for the suitable ones to confirm.

“That sounds perfect,” Phoebe replied. “For our wedding, you two must be our best man and maid of honor. We’ve also got a few people lined up, and maybe Bailee and her boyfriend can join the fun, too.”

While Eileen and Phoebe were talking, Jacob pulled Bryan aside to smoke in the corridor.

“Kian isn’t on my guest list. That makes me a pretty good friend for you, right?” Jacob asked.

Bryan held a cigarette between his fingers but refrained from smoking. “Should I praise you for that?”

“You’re such a buzzkill.” Jacob rolled his eyes. After a pause, he said, “What about Zola? Do you plan to invite her?”

Bryan had excluded both Brandon and Lydia from his wedding guest list and had gone as far as blacklisting them. Given her association with them, Zola wouldn’t be invited either.

“No.” Bryan said bluntly. Since Zola had been together with Kian, he considered her a stranger.

“Right. She wouldn’t enjoy it without any friends there anyway. She’d just be bored going alone,” Jacob remarked. Meanwhile, Eileen and Phoebe were summoned to try on wedding dresses for the photo shoot.

Eileen’s wedding gown was being custom-made in Italy and would be sent here half a month before the wedding. Eileen had never worn a wedding dress before, and the experience of trying one on in the studio made her heart race.

A store assistant wearing white gloves assisted her by zipping up the dress and adjusting the padding.

She then flared the skirt and asked, “Miss Curtis, do you need any more adjustments? If not, I’ll open the curtain to the fitting room.”

The dress felt similar to a gown, yet it was elaborately detailed. Clutching her chest, Eileen shook her head. “No, it’s perfect now.”

The assistant exited the fitting room first and then drew back the curtain.

Suddenly, the light intensified, and the brilliant crystal chandelier cast colorful reflections from the diamonds adorning Eileen’s dress.

The light accentuated Eileen’s elegant neck and collarbone, enhancing her natural beauty despite her bare face.
