?Chapter 364:


    “I know you didn’t mean any harm,” Eileen said, noticing Milford’s anxious expression. She smiled reassuringly. “I’m heading to the office now. You can stay home and look after Gabri with Bryan. Just give me a call if anythinges up.”


    Relieved by her calm demeanor, Milford nodded gratefully. “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Gabri.”


    Eileen changed her shoes at the entryway and nced up the staircase, but she didn’t see anything. She vividly recalled how Bryan would often insist on seeing her off whenever she left for work. He would hug her tightly or sometimes even drive her to her destination, always finding ways to be with her. Even if Gabri prevented him from apanying her, he would at least see her off at the door.


    With a sigh, Eileen pursed her lips, turned on her heel, and left.


    Meanwhile, the Freguson Group continued its steady acquisition of the Warren Group, while efforts to stabilize the Warren Group progressed smoothly. Eileen had a business lunch to attend at noon, but before heading out, she decided to video chat with Bryan. As they spoke, Bryan reclinedfortably with Gabri sprawled on his chest, basking in the warm sunlight streaming through the window.


    “Look at this,” Bryan said, pointing at the video on his phone and gently rubbing Gabri’s chubby cheeks. The baby’s mouth formed a perfect “O” with saliva dribbling down.


    Gabri blinked her bright eyes and turned her gaze elsewhere.


    Their video callsted about five minutes. For the first three and a half minutes, Bryan enthusiastically talked about Gabri. Eileen managed to get in a few responses during the remaining half-minute.


    After they wrapped up the video call, Eileen put away her phone, left the office, and called Dalores. Benjamin would be joining them at the restaurantter. However, he had some errands to run first and would head straight to the restaurant to meet them.

    The car was silent, the only sound being the faint hum of the engine. Eileen nced over at Dalores, who was intently studying the schedule. Breaking the silence, Eileen said softly, “You know, your job isn’t easy. The high sry you earn is due to the dangers and the need for secrecy.”


    “I understand, but I need to keep track of your daily agenda and provide timely reminders,” Dalores said, ncing up from the schedule, her lips curling into a small smile.


    Eileen paused for a moment before asking, “Thest time you mentioned you couldn’t leave because you were short on money, what happened? Is there anyone else depending on you?”


    Dalores shook her head, her voice tinged with sadness.
