Chapter 915:
âEileen, your imagination surely runs wild.â
Eileen said, âIâm being serious. If I passed away early, I would want to know not just who my daughter marries, but also how many kids she has, what their personalities are like, if theyâre attractive, and if their father treats her well.â
A smile appeared on Leylaâs face, growing brighter with every word Eileen spoke.
In three days, Dottieâs remains would be relocated to the familyâs ancestral cemetery, bringing closure to the Vazquez familyâs affairs, yet also leaving a trail of regrets.
Eileen intended to stay here with Gabriela until after the ceremony and silenced her phone.
Since last night, she had ignored all the calls and messages from Bryan. Based on the tone of the recent messages, she could tell that Bryan was about to get angry, so she sent a text back.
âMy mother will be laid to rest in the ancestral cemetery three days later; I wonât be able to return home before that. You need to wait a few more days.â
After that, Eileen received no messages or calls from Bryan.
She tossed her phone aside, scooped up Gabriela, and exclaimed, âOh no, your father is angry!â
âWhy is Daddy angry?â Gabriela inquired, still absorbed in playing with the toy phone.
âBecause we left him there alone.â After a momentâs thought, Eileen picked up the phone and opened WhatsApp, saying, âLet me show you how to talk to Daddy. You can comfort him, okay?â
Gabriela quickly nestled her head against Eileenâs and said, âIâll comfort Daddyâ¦â

âMammy loves you, and I love Daddy. Daddy, smile for me.â
Gabrielaâs endearing words made a subtle smile creep onto Bryanâs face. He instinctively played the voice messages all the way to the end.
Maybe Eileen hadnât wanted to send any more voice messages. She had discarded her phone but inadvertently left the recording function on, so her conversation with Gabriela after sending the voice message had still been recorded.
âGood work, sweetie! If Daddy gets angry again, just talk to him like you did this time. Mommy will buy you a yummy dinner, okay?â
Listening to this, Bryan couldnât help but feel resigned.
He put away his phone and summoned Raymond. âWhatâs my schedule these days?â
âThereâs no important matter. But the companyâs current situation is precarious, and we need someone on hand to handle any unexpected issues that may arise,â Raymond had a sudden guess as to why Bryan had asked this question, so he intentionally emphasized the last sentence.
Bryanâs eyebrows shot up, and he rose from his seat, walking toward Raymond as he said, âConsider this yours from now on.â
Raymondâs legs trembled beneath him, and he nearly fell to his knees before Bryan.
