?Chapter 1026:


    “Then you have to take good care of her.” With a wave of her hand, Le added, “I’ll arrange for the butler to take you to the storage roomter. You’ll find ancient ginseng there, which you can use to make all sorts of restorative tonics for Eileen to enjoy.” Bryan nodded, agreeing to Le’s suggestion.


    As they talked, Eileen sank into the sofa, unable to contribute to the conversation, and focused on entertaining Gabri.


    “Eileen, you must apany me to attend the celebration banquet. We can bring Gabri along, too. And even though we only have one child for now, she’s beautiful and smart…” Le sat down beside Eileen, her eyes shining with affection as she gazed at Gabri. With the banquet scheduled for the next day, Eileen retired to bed early, with Gabri by her side. She was already half asleep when she was suddenly jolted awake by Bryan’s voice.


    The air was thick with the scent of medicine, making Eileen frown instinctively.


    “Didn’t we agree that you’de out to take the medicine once Gabri was asleep? Why are you already asleep?” Bryan held her wrist and gently urged her to get up.


    With a sigh, Eileen said in a sleepy voice, “I’m exhausted. I’ll take the medicine tomorrow.”


    Then, she broke away from Bryan’s hand, trying to lie back down again.


    However, before she could do that, Bryan swept her up and carried her straight into the walk-in closet.


    The instant Bryan put her down, she was caught off guard by a sudden kiss.


    The bitter taste of the medicine flooded her mouth, and a trickle of liquid escaped down the corner of her lips, leaving her no choice but to swallow the remainder.

    Eileen felt like cursing, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. Whenever she opened her mouth, she would have to swallow more liquid.


    She rested her back against the wardrobe, her gaze locked on Bryan in a daze.


    Bryan said, “It’s fine if you don’t drink it on your own. I’ll feed you.”


    Eileen was at a loss for words.


    She definitely didn’t need him to feed her.


    Not only had she let him kiss her, but she had also taken the medicine. She felt like she was on the losing end of this deal.


    She snatched the bowl from his hand, held her breath, and drank the liquid inside in one go. She wiped her mouth with the corner of his white shirt before turning on her heel and heading back to the bedroom to lie down.


    Bryan let out a soft chuckle, put away the bowl, and climbed into bed.


    For the banquet celebrating a baby’s one hundred days, guests were expected to bring along dishes they had prepared themselves. The following morning, Le instructed the chef to prepare two dishes, preparing to bring them along with her.


    This tradition of having guests contribute to the feast waspletely new to Eileen.


    Feeling out of ce, she realized she was merely being used by Le to disy her influence.


    “When you get there, just call her Mrs. Lyons. She has been a teacher her whole life, and now that she’s older, she has started changing her ways. She always smiles without a care.” Just as they were about to reach the Lyons family’s home, Le suddenly thought to introduce her friend to Eileen.
