Chapter 552:

It wasn’t until eight in the morning that Gabriela stirred awake. Ruby carried her out from the bedroom and found Eileen seated at the dining table.

Eileen had prepared four breakfasts, including a special meal just for Gabriela.

She set the table as she would have when Bryan was home, intentionally omitting the ketchup from his portion.

Eileen rested her chin on her hands, gazing at the table.

“Eileen, you don’t have to wait for us,” Ruby said as she took a seat. “The food is getting cold.”

“It’s fine. I wanted to have breakfast with you,” Eileen replied, then got up to reheat the food.

She added, “I had this feeling that Bryan wasn’t really away on a trip, so I made an extra plate. I won’t reheat his portion; I’ll just freeze it. When he gets back, he can have it then. After all, I rarely cook breakfast for him.”

Before Ruby could respond, the doorbell rang.
