Chapter 592:
âOf course. Why do you ask?â Zelda responded without hesitation.
Eileen turned to look at Bryan.
Bryan leaned back in his seat, his posture slightly stiff.
He answered flatly, âOf course.â
âAlright,â Eileen said, handing Zelda the gift. âThis is my wedding gift to you.â
Then, she offered the small red box to Bryan. âAnd you better take this, Mr. Dawson. I think it will be useful for you.â
Bryan stared at the small box for a moment before accepting it. A crisp sound came from inside.
His expression flickered with emotion, and he furrowed his brow.
âI wish you a joyful wedding,â Eileen said. âItâs a pity I canât attend tomorrow, but Mr. Nash and I are returning to Onaland.â
âWhy donât you two stay here longer?â Zelda asked.
Eileen smiled and replied, âNo, itâs time for us to leave. My ex-husband once told me that indecisiveness isnât beneficial. One should be decisive when necessary.â

âEx-husband?â Zelda looked at Bryan, puzzled. Wasnât Eileenâs ex-husband Bryan?
Not wanting to reveal too much, Zelda quickly shifted the conversation. âMs. Curtis, what are your plans after returning to Onaland?â
Throughout, Eileenâs gaze remained fixed on Bryan. He sat there, his eyes downturned and his brow furrowed, silent.
Eileen couldnât tell if Bryan was genuinely indifferent, orâ¦
âI intend to find a suitable father for Gabriela while sheâs still young,â Eileen said, turning to Zelda with a smile. âSheâs almost old enough to start calling for her daddy. Wouldnât it be wonderful if someone were there to respond?â
The yard fell into an uneasy silence.
âLetâs go. We need to catch our flight tomorrow afternoon,â Eileen said to Benjamin.
With that, she grabbed her bag and began to leave, letting Benjamin carry Gabriela.
Bryan, who had been sitting motionless, suddenly rose. The chair beneath him creaked as he stood.
The noise erupted suddenly and loudly, causing everyone to turn their attention to Bryan.
Eileen, who had just reached the door, paused and looked back at him, her gaze filled with questions.
âIâm full. Iâm going back to my room,â Bryan said coldly, then turned and walked slowly into his room.
Suddenly, Eileenâs heart sank. She pressed her lips together, turned around, and led Benjamin to leave. âLetâs go,â she said quietly.
