Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 1310:

“Then why is Bryan always tiptoeing around you like he has done something wrong?” Stella asked.

Eileen paused, remembering Stella’s awkward silence last weekend. It dawned on her that Stella had picked up on Bryan’s over-the-top attentiveness toward her.noveldrama

“That’s not because he did something wrong,” Eileen said.

Stella’s eyes darted to the stack of papers, relief washing over her when she thought they were unsigned. She reached for the papers, her voice hesitant. “So… are you still going to sign these?”

“No—” Eileen started to say, but Bryan suddenly appeared in front of her, offering a pen. “There’s a lot here. Just sign a couple a day so that you don’t overdo it. You can’t be too tired considering the baby inside you.”

Eileen was rendered momentarily speechless.

It took a moment for Stella to process what Bryan had said, and then her eyes widened. “Eileen, you’re pregnant! Why didn’t you tell me about this? How far along are you? Are you taking care of yourself…?”

Stella bombarded Eileen with questions.

Eileen answered the questions honestly and then added apologetically, “I didn’t want to keep it a secret. But with the pregnancy being risky at first and everything with Bailee, I just didn’t find the right time to tell you.”

“Of course, I understand!” Stella was beaming, snatching the pen from Bryan and thrusting it into Eileen’s hand. “Sign a few each day, but don’t overdo it! You need enough rest. The Dawson family will be yours soon…”

Eileen, feeling pressured, signed a few documents before Stella urged her to go upstairs to rest.

Downstairs, Stella and Jarred played with Gabriela, their laughter occasionally floating up to Eileen’s room.

As soon as the door closed behind them, Eileen turned to Bryan. “Why did you push me to sign those papers? Stella is old; she needs to at least have some assets.”

“She’s loaded, Eileen. She’s giving you property she doesn’t even need,” Bryan said calmly. “And let’s be honest, don’t you think it’s unfair to be constantly treated like this by her?”

He was worried that these things would affect Eileen’s mood.

Bryan believed that, even though Eileen was a kind and understanding person, she would still be affected by everything going on.

Eileen said, “I’m not one to hold grudges. I’m choosing to spend my life with you, not with Stella. I’ll get through this, and it’ll eventually be behind us. Plus, her actions won’t sway my choices. Even if she offered me the Dawson family’s entire fortune or the whole world, my decision would be unchanged. Since she has no impact on my decisions, why should I harbor any resentment toward her?”

Eileen tapped Bryan’s chest. “You, however, need to pay more attention to Gabriela. She has been voicing some complaints about you recently, claiming you favor me and don’t show her enough love.”

Leyla had accidentally overheard this from Gabriela. Gabriela hadn’t voiced her complaints directly to Leyla. She had simply been playing with her dolls, acting out scenes as a family of three.
