Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 301

Chapter 301:

Eileen’s loose down jacket hid her slightly swollen belly, yet she couldn’t shake the fear of being discovered. She clenched her hands inside her pockets and turned to walk in another direction before Bryan could catch up.

Bryan paused, his hold on the shopping cart briefly loosening as he watched her walk away, his gaze intense. He pressed his lips together, and a brief flash of coldness replaced the complexity in his eyes.

Bailee and Ruby snapped out of their daze and hurried to follow Eileen. They hadn’t expected Eileen to encounter Bryan, especially since she had been avoiding going out for some time. They trailed behind in silence, unsure of what to say.

They didn’t approach Eileen until she became lost in thought and stood still for a long time.

“Eileen, do you like this one?” Ruby followed her gaze to a baby carriage.

“No, Mom. I suddenly have a craving for your home cooking. Let’s pick up some ingredients and head back so that you can make me a meal,” Eileen replied.

Eileen seldom expressed a desire for something specific, so Ruby quickly agreed to buy the ingredients for a home-cooked meal.

At the checkout, the cashier scanned the items Bryan had chosen. Raymond rushed over to collect the purchases and handle the payment.

“Mr. Dawson, Julio’s sudden attempt to take over the Freguson Group has stirred quite a bit of public speculation. Someone could be behind him. The media has been dissecting the Freguson family’s situation and seems to think Julio might very well become our competitor.” Raymond had foreseen the possible challenges, so he immediately briefed Bryan.

He added, “The individual backing Julio is quite mysterious, known for their merciless approach and deep business acumen. We should not take them lightly. Mr. Dawson, do you intend to regain control of the business project from Zola?”

If Bryan didn’t reclaim the project, the Apex Group stood a high chance of losing it.

After Raymond’s statement, there was silence for a while. Raymond glanced sideways and noticed Bryan had paused at the rest area near the supermarket’s exit.

In the corner of the rest area was a designated smoking zone. Bryan lit a cigarette, slipped a hand into his pocket, and casually watched the checkout area.

“Mr. Dawson?” Raymond was beginning to think Bryan was losing his mind. Sometimes, Bryan would logically weigh the advantages and disadvantages. However, at other times, his judgment seemed flawed. For instance, why choose now to take a smoke break?
