Chapter 1086:
âIâm on it. We will leave early tomorrow.â Bryan leaned in, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead. âIâve arranged for a doctor to join us. If anything unexpected comes up, the doctor will be there to handle it.â
âDaddy, kiss me too!â Gabriela clung to Bryanâs arm, standing on her toes as she reached for him.
Bryanâs smile softened as he bent down and planted a kiss on Gabrielaâs cheek. âRemember, sweetheart, only Mom and Dad can give you kisses like that. No one else, okay?â
After a pause, Gabriela said, âI want a handsome man to kiss me! Mommy likes attractive guys, and so do I!â
Eileenâs hand was quickly clamped over Gabrielaâs mouth the moment she began speaking. Scooping up Gabriela, Eileen dashed into the room, exclaiming, âGabriela! Youâve betrayed me. Didnât you promise not to tell your father that?â
âDonât be afraid, Mom! You have a handsome man to protect you!â Gabriela chirped. She wriggled free from Eileenâs arms, then turned to Bryan and said, âYou better behave, otherwise Mom might swap you out for someone even more charming!â
Eileen turned around and was met with Bryanâs dark expression. Her heart skipped a beat.
She wasnât the type to be captivated by handsome men, but she had recently been scrolling through her phone when she came across a video. In the video, the manâs physique was no match for Bryanâs chiseled six-pack. He also didnât have Bryanâs height or striking looks.
However, he was younger than Bryan.
LаÏÑÑÏ chÉÏÏÑrs ιn gðªlðovÑls.ð¸ð¶ð¶ Eileen had taken a few more glances at the video when Gabriela had approached her. It was unclear whether Gabriela was intrigued by the man dancing or if her longstanding admiration for handsome men was simply showing through. Regardless, Gabriela had enjoyed the video. She had clapped her hands and bounced with excitement, prompting Eileen to tease her.
âDonât worry. The handsome man will keep you safe!â Gabriela said, turning to pat Eileenâs leg in an attempt to comfort her when she noticed Eileenâs strange expression. However, Gabrielaâs words only seemed to make matters worse. Bryanâs frustration reached a boiling point. Not only had his image been tarnished in his wifeâs eyes, but Gabriela was also now liking handsome men.
He stormed over, yanked the towel from his neck, and tossed it onto the chair with a frustrated sigh.
Gabriela and Eileen darted in opposite directions. Laughter echoed from the yard. Gabriela laughed heartily, thinking Bryan was just playing with her.
However, Eileen wasnât so fortunate. Bryan had caught her and delivered a hard spank.
Eileen clung to Bryanâs arm, pleading for mercy.
âDarling, Iâm sorry! It wasnât me watching the handsome man. It was Gabriela!â Eileen said.
Gabriela ducked behind a pillar and peeked out. âItâs Mom who looked at him, not me!â
Eileen was stunned when she heard Gabrielaâs words. âDarling, he is not nearly as good-looking as you. Gabriela kept saying he was attractiveââ âIt doesnât matter. You can only be mine for the rest of your life,â Bryan said, gazing at Eileen with a faint smile that sent a shiver down her spine.
Eileen was at a loss for words, her breath catching in her chest. âAlso, Daddy!â Gabriela burst out, running over to Bryan in an attempt to please him. Every so often, she threw a playful wink at Eileen.
