Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 349

Chapter 349:

After a short walk, Bailee noticed Eileen standing in the living room, watching her. She flinched and clutched her clothes tightly.

“What’s wrong?” Eileen asked, puzzled by her odd behavior.

Bailee quickly shook her head and forced a smile. “You startled me. When did you get back last night?”

As she moved toward her room, she continued, “I thought you hadn’t returned yet.”

“I got back late. What do you have there?” Eileen responded, noticing something concealed in Bailee’s clothes.

With a grin, Bailee answered, “It’s nothing. I left a book in Mom’s room yesterday and just got a chance to pick it up now. Hurry and get ready for breakfast; I need to head to the office soon.”

While talking, she went directly to her room.

Eileen didn’t dwell on her strange behavior and went to assist in the dining room.

After breakfast, Eileen headed to the hospital, with Josue joining her for a ride to discuss business with Bryan.

Bryan was accommodated in a VIP room on the top floor of the inpatient department. They reached the top floor via the elevator and were immediately halted by two sharply dressed bodyguards.

This floor was notably quiet and sparsely populated by patients. Eileen remembered the tranquility from her days caring for Bryan. Now, the long, deserted corridor felt unnervingly silent.

“What’s going on?” Josue eyed the bodyguards. “Why are you blocking our way?”

“Mr. Payne, we’re not stopping you, just Miss Curtis,” one bodyguard clarified firmly.

Eileen stopped and realized, “Did Stella send you?”

The bodyguards maintained a straight gaze. “Yes. Please don’t make this difficult for us.”

Josue scoffed scornfully. “Who allowed you to stop her? Does Bryan know about this? If he finds out, the two of you would be in big trouble.”

He pointed at Eileen and continued defiantly, “You wouldn’t dare cross her, yet you do?”

“We are working for Stella Dawson and following her commands. Please, Miss Curtis, don’t make this difficult for us.”

They recognized Eileen’s formidable nature and attempted to persuade her.

Before Josue could reply, Eileen cut in, “The old lady instructed you to secure this floor to control who comes and goes, particularly to keep me from seeing him, right?”

The bodyguards nodded in confirmation. “Yes.”
