Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 789:noveldrama

A luxurious red carpet unfurled in front of the hotel entrance, stretching out like a river of velvet to the street. Reporters on either side clamored for the perfect shot, their cameras flashing.

Raymond eased the car to a near stop and asked, “Mr. Dawson, should we pull over here?”

“Drive straight to the parking lot,” Bryan instructed, his voice steady. He wasn’t certain if the guests inside were familiar with Eileen, but he was confident that many of the reporters were.

Bryan casually navigated through an app on his tablet, glancing up now and then at Eileen, who was dressed in a sleek black gown. Gabriela wore a pink dress, and the two of them were softly singing a children’s song. Gabriela’s voice, sweet and melodic, filled the car, occasionally rising above the gentle hum of the engine. Eileen, her voice tender, sang along with Gabriela.

Bryan put away the tablet and, with a protective gesture, wrapped his arm around Eileen’s waist. Leaning in close, he whispered, “We’ll need to go our separate ways once we’re inside. How do you plan to handle it if someone tries to hit on you?”

Business parties were notorious breeding grounds for unwanted advances, especially since men far outnumbered women. A woman like Eileen, with her striking figure and beauty, would undoubtedly become the center of attention the moment she stepped inside.

Eileen chuckled softly, amused by Bryan’s concern, but answered earnestly. “I’ll tell them I’m married and have a daughter.”

“That won’t be enough,” Bryan responded, clearly not satisfied. Eileen furrowed her brow, searching for a better answer. After a moment, she said, “And I’m expecting our second child?”

Let your imagination soar with gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s．çο𝗺

Bryan narrowed his eyes and looked at her. “Good women lie.”

Eileen was left at a loss for words.

He was the one who said that wasn’t enough. She had lied for his sake!

“But that’s alright,” Bryan said with a smile, his eyes gleaming mischievously. “I’ll take responsibility for making that lie come true.”

Eileen stared at him, utterly flabbergasted. He had tricked her on purpose, and she had walked right into his trap without even realizing it!

As the car slipped into the shadowed confines of the underground parking lot, Eileen, unable to contain her frustration, pinched Bryan hard on the waist. But Bryan didn’t so much as flinch. Without missing a beat, he caught her hand and, in one swift move, brought her index finger to his lips, giving it a playful bite.

The bite wasn’t hard, but the unexpected softness and warmth of his lips sent a jolt through Eileen. She yanked her hand back with a startled gasp.

With a soft squeal, the car’s partition slowly slid up, and Raymond said slowly, “Mr. Dawson, the event is about to start. And… Miss Dawson is still seated with you.”

The partition then lowered, sealing off any sound with impressive soundproofing.

Eileen wanted to clarify things, but Raymond probably couldn’t hear her now. Even if he could hear her, she wasn’t sure if he would believe her.

“This is all your fault!” Eileen whispered fiercely to Bryan, her ears burning with frustration.
