Chapter 563:
She touched the space where her arm used to be and added, âI lost an arm, and now no man wants to marry me. Iâm over thirty and still single. I saved him, and now he only trusts me. He could marry me to repay me.â
Eileenâs anger flared up, almost pushing her to the edge. But remembering that Zelda had indeed saved Bryanâs life, Eileen fought to keep her emotions in check.
She inhaled deeply and spoke softly, âI understand the sacrifice you made and that youâre not well-off. Iâm willing to help you financially to improve your situation. However, marrying him isnât an option for you. Heâs already married.â
Eileen raised her chin, her expression firm. âI am his wife, and we have a daughter.â
âSo what?â Zeldaâs tone was indifferent. âHeâs forgotten the past. Even though youâre his wife and you have a child together, it means nothing to him. I donât care.â
âYou may not care, but the law does!â Eileenâs sharp tone surprised the woman and caught Bryanâs attention.
Eileen took another deep breath to steady herself and continued in a low voice, âHeâs married. If he were to marry you now, it would be considered a crime. Besides, you donât even have his personal details. Do you want your children to be like himâunregistered and without any legal status?â
âIt doesnât matter,â Zelda replied with a casual shrug. âIn this small town, we donât need to register to get married. If we have a child in the future, I can just register it under my name.â
Eileen finally realized just how stubborn the woman in front of her was.
She weighed the idea of asking Raymond to find a way to take Bryan away from this small village. She knew that wouldnât be difficult to arrange.
But⦠Bryan only trusted Zelda. If he were forced to leave now, it might seriously affect his health.
After a momentâs consideration, Eileen approached Bryan cautiously. âHi. I know you might not remember me, and thatâs okay. Iâm here to help you remember. Since weâre strangers at the moment, letâs start with introductions.â
Updates always at galnoνeðµs.com After a brief pause, she continued, âIâm Eileen Curtis, CEO of EB Group. Do you know why itâs called EB Group? Itâs because the initials come from my name and my husbandâs. My husband is Bryan, and my name is Eileen. The initials E and B make up EB Group.â
Watching Bryan intently, she added, âMy husband has always been incredibly good to me. We have a lovely daughter named Gabriela. Sheâs at that charming age where sheâs starting to climb around and sometimes says âMommy.â Gabriela has a father who loves her very much. I really hope that someday she can call him âDaddyâ and grow up with his love and care.â
Eileenâs voice trembled with emotion as she spoke.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, each one carrying the pain of her broken heart. Bryan remained unmoved, his attention absorbed in sorting the fish and shrimp, showing no sign of emotion.
Eileen covered her face with her hands, a deep sense of despair settling in her heart.
In her distress, she missed the brief flicker of sadness that crossed Bryanâs eyes.
Bryanâs lips tightened as he turned and walked away. However, his health was steadily declining. Moving too quickly caused him to lose his balance, and he stumbled, falling sideways.
