Chapter 344:

Josue’s eyes sparkled with both pride and playful teasing as he joked, “I doubt you could have a daughter as adorable as my goddaughter. She’s the ultimate in cuteness—absolutely stunning, so precious, and her sweet little coo could melt even the toughest hearts!”

“Do you really think he couldn’t have a baby that adorable?” Eileen asked, rolling her eyes as she caught on to Josue’s increasing sarcasm.

Seeing Bryan’s expression darken instantly, she realized she needed to stop Josue’s risky teasing. She quickly changed the subject. “So, about Julio’s engagement party—are you going?”

Noticing Eileen’s cautionary look, Josue calmed down, saying, “I’ve been abroad for a while now, and I’m not quite caught up with everyone. Plus, if he’s not going, I’d just feel out of place. I might as well stay home and spend time with my goddaughter, right?”

Hearing “goddaughter” again made Eileen roll her eyes to the heavens. She felt uneasy about the moment Bryan would find out Gabriela was his biological daughter, aware of the harshness he would unleash on Josue in retaliation.

“I’m not very familiar with the Garrison family that Julio’s fiancée is from,” she said, diverting the conversation again. She looked at Bryan, curiosity in her gaze. “Do you know anything about them?”

Bryan gave Josue a sharp glance before wrapping his arm around Eileen’s waist, his hand pressing visibly against her.

“I don’t know them either.”

He sat up straight, his body leaning close to Eileen. “Josue knows them well. The Harrison family is influential in the south. They’re planning to expand internationally once their business picks up. Z.J. Venture Capital is involved, and they’ve just returned to stir things up in Onaland’s business sector!”
