Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 987:

In the stillness, Bryan’s voice was especially captivating, and Eileen was struck by the endearing term “honey” Bryan had never used before. But he looked as if he had used that term many times before. The word sent Eileen’s heart racing. She stared at him for a moment before rolling her eyes at him.

Bryan was rendered speechless. His expression turned rigid, and he was perplexed, trying to comprehend what he had done wrong. He had dedicated hours to online research before, determined to find ways to persuade Eileen to be more sexually active. He had used the term because of the method he had found on the Internet.

But it didn’t work!

Bryan’s thin lips compressed into a tight line as he gazed at Eileen, only to see her turn away. He promptly pulled out his phone and revisited the website that had suggested the ill-fated approach. He clicked to report the website. However, his attempt was futile, as the website was extremely popular. So, he forwarded the link to Raymond and instructed him to erase it completely and permanently. A second later, the car jerked to a sudden halt, causing Eileen to nearly hit her face against the driver’s seat.

“I’m sorry. I just got distracted for a second,” Raymond said from the other side of the partition.

“What’s wrong?” Eileen lifted the partition and asked.

“No, I just received a message that startled me.” Raymond restarted the car.

“Keep your eyes on the road, not on your phone, while driving. It’s a serious safety risk,” Eileen said, surprised, as Raymond had never made such a mistake before.

She asked, “Is it a woman who sent the message to you?” Raymond choked on his saliva and started coughing.noveldrama

“Clearly, he received a message from a woman. Considering Raymond’s years of dedicated service to you, I think you should grant him more time off and allow him to pursue a relationship with the person who sent this message,” Eileen said, turning to face Bryan.

With his legs crossed, Bryan raised an eyebrow, his face a mask of neutrality as he regarded Eileen’s lively demeanor.

“Raymond, if you marry her, I will give you a reward of a million.” Eileen spun around and gave Raymond a gentle tap on the shoulder, saying, “I believe in you!”

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Raymond’s forehead as he caught Bryan’s gaze in the rearview mirror. His eyes widened in fear as he shook his head. “I’m too afraid to marry her. I can’t!”

Eileen’s pleased smile morphed into a confused frown. “Why not? Is she from a rich family? Who is she?”

“She is married,” Raymond blurted out.

The moment he spoke, Raymond wanted to kick himself for his foolishness. He knew they were actually talking about Bryan here.

“Oh my goodness…” Eileen exhaled deeply, reclined in her seat, and leaned in close to Bryan, whispering, “You’re the right person to talk some sense into Raymond. Please make sure he understands he can’t get involved with a married woman.”

“There’s no need for you to worry about this.” Bryan wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to prevent her from saying more to Raymond.
