?Chapter 373:


    This was just the beginning of Bryan’s countermeasures. Eileen chuckled to herself, her thoughts drifting to something Z had said.


    “Z mentioned it’s been a long time since shest saw you or reached out, and she’d like to meet for a meal.”


    Milford showed little interest. “Why should I? I’d rather eat the baby food than have dinner with her.”


    “She has made many mistakes, but aside from that, she has treated you decently. Just discern right from wrong in your heart; there’s no need to cut her offpletely because of us.”


    Eileen sensed that Milford and Z had stopped talking. She wasn’t sure of the details, but she had her suspicions.


    “Aren’t you worried that if I get close to her again, she might manipte or mislead me?” Milford asked.


    Eileenughed. “Your heart is strong; it won’t be led astray. Bryan also grew up with her, yet he remains principled, doesn’t he?”


    Milford grunted nomittally, not wanting Eileen to feel guilty for possibly influencing their rtionship.


    Their takeout quickly satiated Eileen and Milford’s hunger. After finishing their meal, it had already grown dark outside. With summer ending, the nights were beginning to cool.


    After her shower, Eileen changed into warmer pajamas and then remembered she needed to buy some thicker clothes for her daughter. She took measurements of her daughter’s size, preparing to shop online. Simultaneously, she chatted over video with Ruby, getting updates on Bailee and Huey’s situation.


    Today marked their first official day living together. Bailee had left for work early, leaving Ruby and Huey at home. Ruby busied herself with household chores while Huey secluded himself in his study, gaming.


    Your next tale lives on g ? lnσ ν?? ?s,


    “You tell me, how can a boy like that bring happiness to…” Ruby trailed off.


    “Mom, gaming is Huey’s job,” Eileen had foreseen that Ruby would find this difficult to ept. She advised, “You should treat it as though he’smitted to a job away from home, rather than just ying around at home.”


    Ruby sighed deeply. “The problem is, he eats his meal and then dashes off, asking me to leave the dishes for him to washter because he’s busy with apetition these days. Can I really do that? Yet, when he spends the entire afternoon gaming, when does he find time to wash the dishes?”


    Eileen found Ruby’s continuousints somewhat amusing. After some more chatting, perhaps tired ofining, Ruby changed the subject to Gabri.


    “Did you hear from Milford that Bryan now knows he’s Gabri’s father?”
