?Chapter 548:


    Besides, since Gabri already bore the Curtis surname, Eileen might also prefer not to change it.


    Ste thought that if the second child was a boy and would carry the Dawson surname, she would have no reason to change Gabri’s surname back to Curtis.


    After a moment of reflection, Ste closed the book. “Since this is your choice, I’ll respect it. But remember, you must honor yourmitment: the next child must have the Dawson surname.”


    “Alright,” Eileen said, her smile genuine. She was oblivious to the depth of Ste’s thoughts.


    After some time spent ying, Gabri still seemed uneasy in the new environment.


    This noticeably dampened Ste’s good mood.


    The lunch was soon ready, and everyone proceeded to the dining room.


    The meal included several dishes specially prepared for babies by a chef Ste had hired.


    Since Bryan nned to fly to Linder Land tonight, Eileen and Bryan decided to leave with Gabri shortly after the meal.


    While Ste was distracted by Gabri, clearly reluctant to see her leave, Bryan spoke to Jarred. “It’s getting cold. The vi is too expansive for my grandmother to live alone. Try to persuade her to spend the winter at the temple on the mountain.”


    Jarredughed. “She found it too isting up there before,pletely cut off from the world with no updates. Now, with the little one around, I doubt she’ll consider going back.”


    Observing Ste nearby, Bryan inquired, “How has she been doingtely?”


    “Don’t worry. She’s healthy. The doctor has visited recently to check on her, and she’s eager to be stronger. She’s looking forward to taking Gabri out for some fun when Gabri is old enough to run around,” Jarred replied, his face breaking into a grin.

    Ste cherished Bryan’s first child dearly.


    After a while, Eileen and Bryan departed with Gabri, leaving Ste with a deep sense of loss.


    During the ride back, Gabri fell asleep.


    Uncharacteristically, she didn’t wake up even after they returned home, prompting Eileen to ask Ruby to take her to her room.


    Eileen then went to the bedroom to prepare Bryan’s luggage.


    “How long will you be away?” she inquired, eyeing the two suitcases, one notablyrger than the other.


    Bryan was seated on the bed. He supported himself with his hands and looked up at her. “Not for long. Just pack the essentials.”


    Eileen chose the smaller suitcase, opening it to pack for Bryan.


    “The weather in Linder Land is simr to here. Since the trip is brief, there’s no need for heavy clothing. If you find it cold, you can always buy some clothes there,” she said.
