?Chapter 728:


    Left with no other option, Eileen seated herself next to Le, with Bryan sitting beside Eileen and Gabri in his arms.


    Gianna, detecting Le’s discontent, awkwardly exined, “Eileen has been missing for many years. Her grandmother has been deeply worried. She feels a bit ufortable around Eileen’s current family… Dawson, please try to understand.”


    She then gently nudged Le.


    “Mom, please don’t act like this. Eileen isn’t ustomed to the climate and surroundings here. Eventually, she must return to Onnd. If you continue to behave like this, how can she go back?”


    Hearing this, Le swiftly turned to Eileen and inquired, “Eileen, are you nning to leave?”


    Then, she looked at Bryan and asked, “Are you here to take her away?”


    Brian frowned as he spoke. “No, just here to bring her luggage. I can’t take her away!”


    Le ignored his exnation, clutching Eileen’s hand firmly. “She belongs to our family; she carries our blood. I’ll hold you all responsible. Your family bought her when she was a child; that’s illegal!” Her hand trembled as she pointed at Bryan.


    Eileen quickly took Le’s hands, offering reassurance. “Grandma, I’m not going anywhere. My cousin’s just bringing my luggage so that I can stay here longer.”


    She gently patted Le’s back and covertly signaled Bryan.


    “Le, I’m not here to take her away. After we have breakfast, I’ll leave with my daughter, okay?” Bryan patiently tried to negotiate with her.


    Meanwhile, Gabri sat on a chair, her legs swinging, herrge, watery eyes fixed on the unfolding scene, momentarily forgetting the slice of bread in her hands.

    Bryan’s assurances seemed to calm Le, who finally stopped shouting. Otherwise, Gabri might have burst into tears.


    “Mom, look what you’ve done,” Gianna scolded lightly, patting Le on the back. “You’ve always told us to wee guests. Why contradict yourself now?”


    Though Le’s demeanor softened, she still appeared stern, her grip on Eileen’s hand unyielding.


    Bryan consciously avoided looking at Eileen, not wanting Le to suspect that he nned to leave with her.


    Consequently, he was unable to talk to Eileen throughout the breakfast. He had intended to speak with her before he left, but no sooner had he set down his fork than Le instructed Gianna.


    “See the guest out. Eileen can take me back to my room.”


    “I think Eileen should have a word with her cousin. It’s not right for me to escort him out,” Gianna protested.


    “Just go,” Lemanded sternly.


    Left with no choice, Gianna said, “Alright.”


    She stood, offering Bryan an apologetic nod, and requested Eileen to take Le back carefully.


    Bryan scooped up Gabri. As he walked away, Gabri reached out her tiny hands, grasping at the air and repeatedly murmured, “Mommy.”
