Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 839:

They rolled the dice again, and this time, Julio was the loser. Without hesitation, Bryan asked, “Why are you still bothering Dalores?”

The direct question struck a chord, resonating deeply with Eileen. Yet her lips twitched with uncertainty. Was Bryan simply too clever, or was Julio too naive? Could Julio really reveal everything she needed to know so easily?noveldrama

Julio leaned back in his seat, a realization dawning late. “Mr. Dawson, what do you want to say to me? Why not say it directly?”

Bryan’s approach made him feel that his previous question was too vague. He had only asked Bryan a simple question, yet Bryan’s question was aimed at coaxing him into opening up.

“I refuse to answer when you ask me directly,” Bryan responded calmly. “Playing a game levels the playing field and spares Eileen the effort of trying to get your fake answer.” With a final tap on the table, he added, “Lie and you’ll be single forever.”

Julio was rendered momentarily speechless. Eventually, he spoke.

“I saw Kinsey at a bar recently with a woman in his arms. They later headed to a hotel together. He’s not a good husband for Dalores,” he said, his expression stormy as he spoke.

So, was Julio’s relentless pursuit of Dalores a way to gauge the depth of her feelings for Kinsey? Whether directly or indirectly, he was probably determined not to let Dalores remain in the shadows of Kinsey’s actions.

“Are you trying to seduce Dalores into cheating, so she would feel better about herself?” Eileen asked.

Julio responded with irritation. “I was trying to find a chance to warn her, but every time she sees me, she reacts defensively. In such a state, she doesn’t trust anything I say.”

Eileen understood him now, but even if Dalores believed him, it wouldn’t change much. After all, Dalores had married Kinsey purely to survive. Whether Kinsey was faithful or not didn’t matter to her.

Bryan put away the dice and began feeding Gabriela.

Julio frowned and suggested to Eileen, “Maybe you could remind Dalores not to be so meek sometimes.”

Back when Dalores had been by his side, he fully understood her reasons for doing so. Yet seeing Dalores demean herself before Kinsey out of affection was maddening.

How could such a disloyal man deserve her love?

“Alright, I’ll tell her.” Eileen nodded and then added, “Mr. Ferguson, you needn’t be so convoluted either. You’re doing this not merely because you’re deep down, but because you care about her.”

“She owes me a life. That will stay with me forever,” Julio said, his expression somber.

So, Julio’s lingering resentment towards Dalores stemmed from the loss of their child.

Suddenly, Gabriela blurted out, “Emerson!”

Eileen quickly handed her a small snack. “Gabriela, be good and eat your snack.”

“Does Emerson eat snacks, too?” Gabriela kept mentioning Emerson, seeming to remember something.

Fortunately, Julio, distracted, did not pick up on her words. The meal lasted just half an hour before Julio, having eaten his fill, excused himself.
