?Chapter 599:


    By eleven, he quickly prepared a meal for the three of them. After they ate, they headed to the airport.


    The road was rough, and Gabri eagerly looked out the window, thrilled by every bump and jolt.


    Meanwhile, Eileen’s unease grew, a persistent distraction clouding her thoughts.


    She felt carsick for the first time, her head spinning. Despite this, she held on until they reached the airport.


    With help from someone with their luggage, Benjamin held Gabri. Concerned for Eileen, he suggested, “You’ve got almost an hour before boarding. Why don’t you rest in the VIP lounge?”


    “Sure,” Eileen said, rubbing her temples.


    As they entered the VIP lounge, Eileen spotted the three men seated together.


    Josue and Jacob satfortably, smiling warmly at her.


    Bryan, sitting between them, had swapped his rural attire for a custom tracksuit.


    Jacob quickly stood, motioning for Eileen to join them. “Come over here.”


    “No, I’m okay,” Eileen replied, her unease dissipating instantly. She settled into the chair opposite them, leaning back as she tried to shake off the difort from the bumpy ride.


    Seeing this, Jacob walked over to Benjamin. “Let me take Gabri.”


    “Mr. Meyer, I think I can hold her,” Benjamin replied.


    I??€?? ￠н?ρтε?? ?η g?lиσνε??.c?m


    “Her father is right here. Why are you holding her? They haven’t seen each other in ages. Let them spend some time together and get closer,” Jacob said, reaching out to take Gabri from Benjamin’s arms.


    Eileen suddenly said coldly, “Isn’t her father on his deathbed? What’s the point of him getting closer to Gabri when he’ll be gone soon? It’s better for him to keep his distance.”


    “Fine…” Jacob withdrew his hand, sitting back beside Bryan.


    Seeing Eileen close her eyes to rest, Jacob leaned toward Bryan and whispered, “No wonder you’re afraid she’ll resent you. She’s really taking this seriously.”


    Bryan nced away, choosing to remain silent.


    Soon, it was time to board.


    After a restless night, Eileen managed to secure a nket from a passing flight attendant and tried to sleep on the ne, cradling Gabri close.


    Her head bobbed with each attempt to find afortable position.


    Only when someone gently supported her head, letting her rest on their shoulder, did she finally feel at ease, sinking into a deep, uninterrupted sleep.


    By the time the ne arrived in Onnd, it was already past nine in the evening.


    Eileen stirred awake to the flight attendant’s reminder, realizing Bryan had taken Benjamin’s ce beside her.


    Josue and Jacob were keeping Gabri entertained.


    Eileen briefly nced at Bryan but remained silent.


    When it was time to disembark, she gently took Gabri into her arms and left with Benjamin.


    “Mr. Ferguson arranged for a car to pick us up. There’s an early meeting tomorrow about the vige project. It might be a long one, so you better go home and get some rest,” Benjamin informed her.


    Eileen nodded in understanding, but before she could reply, Josue caught up with her.
