Chapter 1042:

“Raymond, go buy some food again,” Bryan instructed. He then opened the lunchbox and slid it toward Eileen. “You eat first.”

“I’m not hungry,” Eileen mumbled, poking at the food with a fork. “Need me to feed you?” Bryan asked.

The words sent a shiver down Eileen’s spine. The memory of Bryan force-feeding her medicine was still fresh, and it wasn’t a pleasant one. Eileen quickly said, “No need for that. Go do your work. I can eat on my own.”

Bryan scoffed, sliding a bowl of soup toward her. “You come back from the hospital every day looking troubled. Why are you so concerned about Dalores’ matters?”

Eileen replied without hesitation, “Ever since I met Dalores and Julio, I’ve been entangled with their issues. It’s like I owe them some karmic debt from a past life.” She paused for a moment before continuing, “Sure, Julio helped me climb the social ladder, but I paid the price with sleepless nights and constant anxiety. And now, just when things were starting to look up for me, Dalores is in trouble. I can’t help but worry about her.”

“Well, let me cheer you up a bit then,” Bryan said. “Milford’s sentence got reduced. The police say he’ll be out in a month.” Bryan saw Eileen’s eyes light up, a smile spreading across her face.

“Really?” Eileen whipped out her phone and sent a message to Bailee, telling her to get Milford’s old place ready.

Even though there was still a month to go, and she would return before Milford was released, she couldn’t help but want to get everything set up ahead of time.

“Honey, this is all thanks to you. Did you pull some strings?” Eileen put her phone down, stood up, and walked behind Bryan, wrapping her arms around his neck. Her cheek brushed against his, and she inhaled his familiar scent.

gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․çom has it all Bryan lifted his hand, gently clasping her wrist. “I did something, but Milford also behaved himself in prison. That played a big part in getting him out early.”

Eileen, overflowing with joy, turned and kissed Bryan’s cheek, leaving a faint lip balm stain. “Let’s eat first.”

Although Bryan was reluctant to let this tender moment end, he didn’t want the food to get cold and upset Eileen’s stomach. He nodded and, pointing at the food, said, “You feed me. Let’s eat together and wait for Raymond to bring more food.”

Bryan looked reluctant, but he couldn’t hide the small smile tugging at his lips as he pulled the food closer.

He pulled Eileen onto his lap, wrapping an arm around her waist and resting his head on her shoulder. Then, he began feeding her.

After a while, Eileen began to feel Bryan’s erection pressing against her, making her squirm uncomfortably. When she attempted to stand up, he growled softly, “Don’t move.”

Eileen swallowed the food in her mouth and whispered, “Are you sure staying still is the best idea?”

Bryan’s eyes darkened. Was she teasing him?

Just then, Eileen’s phone rang, breaking the tension. She seized the moment and quickly stood up to answer it.
