Chapter 318:

Phoebe had shared everything about Bryan’s activities overseas with Eileen. He seemed to have some commitments too, although Eileen didn’t know the specifics of his job.

What she did know was that he finished at 5 p.m. every day and spent three hours at the intersection near the Ferguson Group’s branch.

Even the café owner at the corner recognized him because of his consistent presence there.

After a month of recovery from childbirth, Eileen regained her slender figure. The only visible mark on her body from giving birth was a C-section scar.

When Eileen decided to go out, Rylie didn’t object but reminded her not to overexert herself with work so soon after having a baby.

Ruby, on the other hand, remained silent, seemingly aware of Eileen’s destination, and watched her leave with a look of concern.

After nine months of pregnancy and a month of recovery, being outside again felt strange to Eileen.

She adjusted her seat in the car, took a few moments to get comfortable, then started the engine and drove off.

The usual twenty-minute drive took forty minutes because of the rush hour traffic.

Eileen arrived at the café at half past five.

The place was quiet, with a few businesswomen gathered in a corner and some individuals scattered around the first floor.

Bryan was not there. Eileen sat by a second-floor window where she could see the entrance and the street.

She hadn’t told Bryan she was coming.

Bryan should have been here by now.

Perhaps today was the exception, and he wouldn’t come.

If that were the case, it seemed they were bound to miss each other.

Since she couldn’t drink coffee, Eileen ordered a glass of milk and kept glancing at the door.

Over the next hour, about eight people entered, but Bryan was not among them.

By nearly seven o’clock, the sky had completely darkened, with city lights illuminating the streets.

The café remained quiet, the soft hum of foreign languages adding a hypnotic backdrop.

Eileen’s body tensed slightly as the warm milk in her hands turned cold.

She had yet to see the person she was waiting for.

As the café emptied, the waiter asked her several times if she wanted a refill, but she declined each time.

Each occupied table had a small lamp turned on, and the only lamp lit on the second floor was at her table.

The light created intricate patterns on her hands.
