Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 329

Chapter 329:

Jacob hadn’t told Bryan that Eileen would be here.

In fact, he had resorted to fabrications to lure Bryan here.

“I know a secret about Eileen. Interested?” he had said to Bryan.

This had piqued Bryan’s curiosity, drawing him to Jacob’s place. However, upon Bryan’s arrival, Jacob didn’t get straight to the point. Instead, he led Bryan to a secluded garden atop the building.

There, Jacob spread out some women’s photos, handling them like a deck of cards. “Pick one you like from these women, and I’ll reveal Eileen’s secret.”

Bryan narrowed his eyes slightly, emitting a dangerous aura.

He settled into a swing chair, the overhead foliage casting shadows on him. His presence was imposing, causing Jacob’s legs to tremble slightly.

“Hey, don’t act like this. If I just told you everything without conditions, that wouldn’t be fair, right?” Jacob said.

Bryan snorted and replied, “Okay.”

Jacob, well-prepared, handed Bryan the photos and activated the projector, which displayed the women’s photos alongside detailed information about them.

“This one is quite attractive. She’s the eldest in her family, and her parents are still together,” Jacob said, pointing at a photo.

After a pause, he continued, “And how about this one? Her face might be average, but she’s got an impressive figure!”

He was presenting the options like a seasoned salesman.

As they were discussing, Jacob noticed the two people entering and grew more enthusiastic.

“There are plenty of fish in the sea. There’s no need to fixate on Eileen. With so many choices here, pick one, and I’ll assist you in winning her over,” Jacob boasted, patting his chest confidently.

Before Jacob could finish, Bryan nonchalantly selected a photo. “This one,” he declared.

“Really?” Jacob was taken aback and peered at the photo Bryan had chosen. “Then you must tell me why she caught your eye,” he said with a smile, flinging the photos onto the table.

“She has a good figure, comes from a great family, and has a good temper,” Bryan replied.

Jacob was skeptical of Bryan’s quick assessment. How could Bryan judge a woman’s temper before even meeting her?

Not giving Jacob any more chances to tease him, Bryan said sternly, “Enough talk. Just tell me the secret.”

“Alright,” Jacob replied. He leaned in and whispered into Bryan’s ear, “Eileen is here.”

As the words left Jacob’s mouth, Bryan immediately turned to see Eileen standing at the entrance to the garden.

The summer breeze teased her short hair, and a faint smile played across her face.
