Chapter 573:
Previously, she had been testing the waters, unsure if she could really find Bryan. But now, knowing for certain that he was alive and that they could be a family again filled her with joy. With Gabriela by her side, she felt that Bryan might be swayed. Perhaps seeing Gabriela would even trigger his memory.
The thought made Eileen increasingly joyful during the journey. This was Gabrielaâs first time on a plane, and she behaved remarkably well, not crying at all.
When they landed, only Raymond was there to pick them up, which puzzled Eileen. She had expected Jacob and Josue to come.
âWhy didnât they come here?â Eileen asked.
âTheyâ¦â Raymond hesitated before replying, âYouâll find out when you get there.â
Eileen was confused but didnât dwell on it.
Upon reaching the house she had purchased previously, Eileen kissed Gabriela on the cheek and said, âGabriela, this is our home from now on.â
Gabriela was unusually quiet, seeming to sense Bryanâs presence here. Her big black eyes were observant, taking everything in.
Eileen continued, âNow, Mommy will take you to see Daddy.â
Raymond looked like he wanted to intervene, but Eileen, buoyed by excitement, quickly left with Gabriela.
Eileen believed that if she alone couldnât jog Bryanâs memory, Gabriela might be the one to do it. Bryan had adored Gabriela, cherishing her and caring for her around the clock. With both Gabriela and herself present, she thought that perhaps Bryan would recover all his memories at once.
Eileenâs smile broadened as she hastened her steps. But then, unexpectedly, she came across numerous wedding decorations around the corner.
She didnât understand why there were so many wedding adornments here, but her heart sank.
Your next tale lives on g Ɐ lnÏ Î½ð âs, com The village was pristine and picturesque, with neatly arranged brick houses facing the sea, nestled against the mountains. Gabriela, seeing the wedding decorations, babbled happily and reached out, wanting to touch them.
Eileen moved slowly, her gaze fixed on the house at the end of the street. It was Zeldaâs home. More and more people entered and exited, all wearing smiles.
âHe could marry me to repay me!â These words echoed sharply in Eileenâs mind.
Unconsciously, Eileen tightened her grip on Gabriela. She stood frozen at the street corner, staring blankly ahead.
âMs. Curtisâ¦â Raymond approached cautiously when he noticed that Eileen hadnât moved for a while. âIâve been caught up in the project these past few days and havenât kept track of Mr. Dawsonâs situation⦠This morning, I learned that Mr. Dawson is going to marry Zelda.â
Eileen turned to Raymond, her eyes a mixture of sorrow and disdain. âHow can he marry her? Heâ¦â
Even though she had never had a wedding with Bryan, they already had Gabriela. Though they had signed a divorce agreement, they had reconciled.
Theyâ¦
Eileen had so much to say, but words failed her. Last time, she had falsely claimed bigamy just to deceive Zelda.
âThe wedding is set for ten days from now,â Raymond said, avoiding Eileenâs gaze. âI heard it will be a modest affair, as theyâre short on funds, especially since Mr. Dawson is having difficulty moving.â
