?Chapter 573:
Previously, she had been testing the waters, unsure if she could really find Bryan. But now, knowing for certain that he was alive and that they could be a family again filled her with joy. With Gabri by her side, she felt that Bryan might be swayed. Perhaps seeing Gabri would even trigger his memory.
The thought made Eileen increasingly joyful during the journey. This was Gabri’s first time on a ne, and she behaved remarkably well, not crying at all.
When theynded, only Raymond was there to pick them up, which puzzled Eileen. She had expected Jacob and Josue toe.
“Why didn’t theye here?” Eileen asked.
“They…” Raymond hesitated before replying, “You’ll find out when you get there.”
Eileen was confused but didn’t dwell on it.
Upon reaching the house she had purchased previously, Eileen kissed Gabri on the cheek and said, “Gabri, this is our home from now on.”
Gabri was unusually quiet, seeming to sense Bryan’s presence here. Her big ck eyes were observant, taking everything in.
Eileen continued, “Now, Mommy will take you to see Daddy.”
Raymond looked like he wanted to intervene, but Eileen, buoyed by excitement, quickly left with Gabri.
Eileen believed that if she alone couldn’t jog Bryan’s memory, Gabri might be the one to do it. Bryan had adored Gabri, cherishing her and caring for her around the clock. With both Gabri and herself present, she thought that perhaps Bryan would recover all his memories at once.
Eileen’s smile broadened as she hastened her steps. But then, unexpectedly, she came across numerous wedding decorations around the corner.
She didn’t understand why there were so many wedding adornments here, but her heart sank.
Your next tale lives on g ? lnσ ν?? ?s,
The vige was pristine and picturesque, with neatly arranged brick houses facing the sea, nestled against the mountains. Gabri, seeing the wedding decorations, babbled happily and reached out, wanting to touch them.
Eileen moved slowly, her gaze fixed on the house at the end of the street. It was Zelda’s home. More and more people entered and exited, all wearing smiles.
“He could marry me to repay me!” These words echoed sharply in Eileen’s mind.
Unconsciously, Eileen tightened her grip on Gabri. She stood frozen at the street corner, staring nkly ahead.
“Ms. Curtis…” Raymond approached cautiously when he noticed that Eileen hadn’t moved for a while. “I’ve been caught up in the project these past few days and haven’t kept track of Mr. Dawson’s situation… This morning, I learned that Mr. Dawson is going to marry Zelda.”
Eileen turned to Raymond, her eyes a mixture of sorrow and disdain. “How can he marry her? He…”
Even though she had never had a wedding with Bryan, they already had Gabri. Though they had signed a divorce agreement, they had reconciled.
They…
Eileen had so much to say, but words failed her. Last time, she had falsely imed bigamy just to deceive Zelda.
“The wedding is set for ten days from now,” Raymond said, avoiding Eileen’s gaze. “I heard it will be a modest affair, as they’re short on funds, especially since Mr. Dawson is having difficulty moving.”
