Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 345

Chapter 345:

“That doesn’t count!” Josue was visibly upset. “Just admit it—are you jealous because I have such an adorable, smart, and beautiful goddaughter?”

“Why should I feel jealous?” Bryan replied, lifting his hand to pat Josue’s shoulder reassuringly. “I have Eileen now, and honestly, it would be better if I had a child with her. It’s fine that you like that baby, but don’t think everyone’s envious. And with your temper, it’s no wonder your wife left you.”

His words cut through the air like a sharp blade, striking Josue with a verbal jab that went straight to his heart!

As Eileen opened the door, she immediately sensed something was off. Josue and Bryan were staring each other down, Josue with his jaw clenched tightly and a glare directed at Bryan, who appeared unusually pleased with himself, almost smug.

“You are quite sharp-tongued, aren’t you? Why didn’t the car accident harm your tongue?” Suddenly, Josue stood up, hands on his hips, his face reddened with annoyance. His voice was so loud that it startled the nurses walking by in the corridor.

Eileen slipped in, her lips curved into an apologetic smile as she quietly shut the door behind her. “What’s happening here? We’re in a hospital; we need to keep the noise down.”

She placed the fruit basket down and was about to calm Josue when Bryan raised his hand to stop her. “He’s just irritated by what I said. It’s fair to let him vent a bit. Let him yell it out; it might help him calm down.”

Bryan figured that if he didn’t let Josue express his frustration, Josue might just break down crying from the buildup of emotions. In his head, Bryan sneered. How could Josue attempt such bald sarcasm right in front of him?

“Let’s have some.” He picked up a grape and offered it to Eileen’s lips.
