Chapter 517:

Eileen leaned forward, her eyes softening. “It’s not about what I want to know. It’s about what you’ve been hiding. You can’t handle everything alone. Spill it, and let’s find a solution together.”

Eileen could tell that Bailee was holding something back.

“I haven’t been able to get in touch with Huey for a while,” Bailee admitted, her voice breaking as tears welled up in her eyes. “We were supposed to meet his arranged date together and confess everything to his mother. He told me to wait in the next room, but he left with his arranged date without a word. I found out from the waiter.”

Bailee looked heartbroken, her hands trembling slightly.

Huey’s phone had been off, and he hadn’t contacted her at all. It was as if he had vanished.

“And then? You haven’t been able to contact him at all?” Eileen asked, sympathy evident in her voice. How had Bailee been managing all this?

Bailee shook her head but paused. “He never showed up, but his arranged date did. She brought a divorce agreement for me to sign, but I refused. I need to hear it from Huey himself before I do anything.”

“Do you really think he’d do something like that and not face you?” Eileen frowned. “Have you tried to find him? Visit his gaming center? You know where he lives.”

Eileen felt something was off—something must have happened on Huey’s side.

Bailee bit her lip, taking a deep breath. “I don’t know what to say to him or where to even start.”

If Huey had given her the divorce agreement himself, should she sign it? How would she explain this to Ruby, who had never fully supported her relationship with Huey?

“The longer you drag this situation out with Huey, the more it stresses Ruby out. She’s starting to see him as unreliable because of this. You’re an adult now, Bailee. You need to face the consequences of your actions. If you can’t handle the fallout from your own decisions, how do you think that will make Ruby feel?” Eileen said, her voice firm.

Eileen could see right through Bailee’s turmoil. She felt sympathy for her, but at the same time, frustration was building up. She hoped Bailee could be more mature about this situation.

Bailee had always shown maturity and dedication when it came to her job, always striving not to let Eileen down. But when it came to her love life, she seemed to lack the same level of maturity.

“Have you ever considered that something might have happened to Huey?” Eileen asked, broadening the scope of possibilities. “Ignoring the situation might lead to regrets that you’ll carry for a lifetime.”

Bailee’s shoulders tensed, and she looked up at Eileen, fear flickering in her eyes. “What do you mean? What could’ve happened to him? Don’t freak me out like that.”
