Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 321

Chapter 321:

Eileen held her coat over her arm and stood near the driver’s side door. After taking a couple of steps toward Bryan, she noticed the strong scent of alcohol. His eyes were watery, with red corners, indicating he had been drinking heavily.

She pressed her lips together without saying anything. Bryan shifted slightly, moving away from her car to avoid blocking the way.

“If it’s inconvenient, that’s fine. I can take a cab,” he said.

The wind pulled his crisp white shirt snug against his frame, accentuating his sturdy waistline.

After a brief pause, Eileen took a deep breath and said, “Get in the car.”

They found themselves in a delicate situation—moving forward seemed inappropriate, yet stepping back was the thing neither of them wanted.

Despite this, Bryan had remained composed and hadn’t insisted, which touched Eileen deeply.

Eileen entered the car and fastened her seatbelt. Bryan followed suit. The confined space of the car was filled with Bryan’s scent, overwhelming Eileen and unsettling her thoughts.

Struggling to maintain her composure, Eileen started the engine, and the car seamlessly merged into the highway.

After a while, she realized she hadn’t asked where Bryan lived. Just as she was about to ask him, she noticed he had already fallen asleep.

The neon lights reflected on him, accentuating his finely chiseled features.

The white shirt he wore took on a reddish hue as the car moved forward, bathed in the glow of the neon lights.

His well-defined hand supported his head, and his forearm, with its sleeves rolled up, was clearly visible.

Eileen noticed that this was a shirt she had picked out for him a few years ago. Considering how often he changed clothes, this shirt should have been discarded long ago.

Yet here it was, still perfectly intact and being worn by him.

After a considerable time, Eileen sighed deeply, parked the car, and texted Phoebe, requesting her to inquire with Jacob about where Bryan currently lived.

However, Jacob was clueless about that, too.

Phoebe replied, “Why don’t you bring him over to my place?”
