Chapter 669:
âPut me down, Bryan. I can walk,â Eileen said.
âRelax,â Bryan replied calmly. âThe doctor said itâs fine for me to carry you to the car.â With smooth, long strides, he carried Eileen out of the room.
The stairs outside the villa looked steep and daunting; it was a challenge for Bryan, let alone while carrying Eileen. But Bryan navigated them with surprising ease, leaving everyone watching in awe.
âAre you sure youâve got this?â Eileen whispered, not daring to move.
Bryan descended the stairs steadily as his response.
Eileen was surprised, and she tightened her grip on Bryanâs shirt. There was something different about him today. He moved with fluidity unlike before. He must have done something behind her back.
Eileen pursed her lips, her eyes misting with emotion, and leaned her head against his neck.
When they arrived at the hotel, Josue was happily engrossed in a game with Gabriela. The buzz of people and Josueâs cheerful chatter kept Gabriela so entertained that she didnât even notice her parents were the ones getting married. She didnât fuss anymore.
The ceremony proceeded seamlessly.
The ceremony was merely a formality for Eileen. But without it, she would have felt that something was missing. Now, it felt complete.
Close friends and family filled only a few tables, sharing lighthearted conversations and joyful moments before eventually dispersing. It was a simple wedding, but it had all the essential elements.
Eileen dazzled in an expensive wedding dress, and a sleek multi-million-dollar car was their transportation. Her heart was filled with love, her focus entirely on Bryan.
Your next journey starts at gⱯlnÏνð®âsâ¤ð¸oðº In her happiness, she missed the somber look on Stellaâs face. Stella glanced at Gabriela several times, seemingly wanting to say something. Though the wedding wasnât open to the public, the media had splashed details about its extravagant cost.
For Bryan, the wedding brought an unexpected challenge: Gabrielaâs newfound resistance toward him. Somehow, Gabrielaâs possessiveness of Eileen flared whenever he was near. The little girl seemed to fear losing her mommy to him, fussing and babbling whenever he approached Eileen.
On the wedding night, Bryan found himself humorously ousted from the room by Gabriela.
In the dead of night, Josue sent a message to Bryan, telling him the police had caught a stray mastiff downtown. The dog, restrained by a muzzle, posed no threat. Hanging from its collar was a small vial of liquid, which had been promptly sent to the hospital for analysis.
Josue found the situation strange. Why would Christos relinquish the drug so easily?
Bryan advised him to wait for the results before jumping to conclusions.
