Chapter 449:
But Bryan answered for her, âTheyâre up to something. If you go, be ready for anything.â
âYou already know?â Eileen asked, setting her phone aside and lying on the bed, her face resting on Bryanâs chest. She propped her head up with her hand and looked at him. âIâm ready, but Iâm not going alone.â
She planned to bring Raymond, and Julio would be there too.
Before she could continue, Bryan suddenly pulled her close, drawing her into his embrace. His body pressed down on hers, and his gaze became intense.
âWho are you bringing?â Bryan raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased. âAm I some sort of embarrassment? Think Iâm too ugly to be seen with? Huh?â
What kind of nonsense was this? Eileen was at a loss for words, her eyes widening under Bryanâs piercing stare.
âWho were you talking to in the car?â Bryanâs voice was almost a growl, their noses nearly touching.
Instinctively, Eileen blurted out, âNo one.â
She wasnât ready to reveal that she had given Roderick a million dollars.
To outsiders, the bond between Eileen and Roderick could seem inexplicable, especially after years of separation and the involvement of Judie and Ruby.
Her denial only fueled Bryanâs frustration.
Bryanâs lips fell to bite Eileenâs chin, causing her to yelp.

His rational side, however, remembered their sleeping baby nearby. Instead of taking her to the bathroom, he carried Eileen to the study.
Eileen thought Bryan had grown tired of that particular place.
Pressed against the cold, hard desk with their fingers intertwined, Eileen realized this was just the beginning of the real punishment.
âAm I ugly?â Bryan asked, his voice rough.
Almost laughing, Eileen replied, âI never said you were ugly.â
She didnât want Bryan to leave, but she was concerned that his previous authoritative demeanor might be compromised.
âThen do I look good?â Bryan pressed, still not satisfied.
âYou look fantastic, no matter what!â Eileenâs response made Bryanâs heart flutter with joy.
Even if Bryan was bald, he was still handsome. Their features seemed perfectly matched, as if crafted by the gods themselves.
