Chapter 1049:

Even though Conroy and Gianna had promised Dottie that they would help her look for her child, ultimately, they hadn’t bothered to uphold their promise.

With no one else to turn to, Dottie had been forced to depend solely on her own resources, which had been sadly inadequate.

“Tilda was just a newborn at that point. So how could your mother possibly have bothered Keith?” Leyla felt as if a dagger had pierced through her heart as she thought of Dottie, her ever-considerate daughter who had chosen to keep her burdens to herself no matter how much she had suffered.

Eileen placed a comforting hand on Leyla’s shoulder, furrowing her brow as she said, “There must have been a reason for my mom to act that way.”

Leyla nodded in agreement, resting her head on Eileen’s shoulder. “Yes, she was fortunate to have met Keith. I may not understand why they didn’t reconcile when she went to see him the night she found out she was pregnant, but he’s certainly worthy of her love.”

Eileen had done her research on Keith when she found out about his connection to her. Not only did Keith excel in managing the Aston family’s affairs, but he was also a renowned philanthropist in Alverton, having spearheaded numerous charitable initiatives.

As a notable figure in the charity sector, he would also occasionally attend philanthropic events in other cities. He was indeed an excellent man.

Just then, Bryan entered the room carrying Gabriela. “Leyla, Gabriela’s been crying and asking for you. She’s become so used to your attention that I’m not sure what to do with her.”

“Gabriela, come here. I’ll take you to play.” Leyla’s face lit up with a bright smile as she rose from her seat and led Gabriela away.

gⱯlnσν𝓮ℓs．c𝗈𝗺, a world of tales A faint frown crossed Eileen’s face, and once Leyla and Gabriela had left, she asked, “When did you get back? What do you want to tell me that you can’t say in front of my grandmother?”

“I just arrived home. There’s a court hearing scheduled for tomorrow morning, and Conroy is currently in custody. He’s requesting to see you.”

Bryan had a feeling that what Conroy wanted to share with Eileen was of great significance.

“You want me to go see him?” Eileen asked, narrowing her eyes.

Bryan nodded. “At worst, we’ll have to endure his nonsense for a bit. But perhaps something will shift in our favor at this juncture.”

“Okay, let’s go to the city now,” Eileen replied. After getting changed, Eileen bid farewell to Leyla and hastened to the city with Bryan.

As the clock struck one in the morning, the city streets were deserted, with only a handful of cars scattered about. Neon lights cast a colorful glow into the vehicle, and the cool night air wafted in through the half-opened car window.

Half of Eileen’s face was obscured by her long, flowing hair, which had intertwined with her curly eyelashes as she slept. Then, the car finally stopped.

“Eileen?” Bryan tucked her long hair behind her ear.

Eileen woke up. She quickly straightened up and stepped out of the vehicle.

“If he dares to talk, I will kill him,” she said. Due to her drowsiness, her words didn’t sound threatening at all.
