?Chapter 1281:


    Hearing this, Gabri, held by Ruby, turned to see her parents chatting joyfully. Her expression turned puzzled. She eximed. However, before she could continue, Le interjected, “Sweetie,ter, I’ll buy you toys to y in the snow. Does that sound good?” Gabri, distracted by the promise, sweetly responded, “Yes! Thank you!”


    Eileen missed this charming exchange.


    The resort resembled more of a lodge than a hotel. Inside, the group discovered a world unto itself, with a standalone two-story vi. Bailee guided them through the vi, showing the rooms on both floors before leaving the room cards at the entrance.


    “It’s busy since we just reopened,” Bailee exined as she prepared to leave. “I’ll go help Huey. Don’t forget tonight’s bonfire celebration. Make sure you alle!” Before anyone could respond, Gabri pped excitedly. “Thank you, Auntie!”


    After Bailee’s departure, the adults unpacked their luggage, and Gabri was eager to y in the snow. Le sat on a small stool outside to watch Gabri, while Ruby joined Gabri in the snow, assisting her in making snowballs.


    Gabri delighted in the snow, herughter echoing across the yard.


    In the evening, despite the festive atmosphere, Bryan nned to stay indoors with Eileen.


    Just then, a work-rted call interrupted him unexpectedly, demanding him to deal with something.


    “Didn’t you finish all your work? We’re in Linder Land now. Can’t you manage it remotely?” Eileen inquired, puzzled by the timing.


    Bryan hesitated briefly and then responded, “A client happened to be here and just saw me.”

    “Then you should go,” Eileen said with a casual shrug. She didn’t require Bryan’s constant presence and appreciated the quiet of being alone.


    Bryan said, “Make sure you stay indoors. The ground is slippery outside.”


    “I know. I will take care of myself well,” Eileen assured him.


    As evening approached and dusk began to fall, Ruby and Bailee took Gabri out for some fun.


    Le, having no interest in the local shows, opted to stay indoors with Eileen.


    Bryan departed well after dinner to see the client.


    “Eileen, don’t business people usually talk over deals during meals and drinks?” Le inquired after watching Bryan leave.


    Eileen answered, “Yes.”


    “But dinner is done, and Bryan has just left to meet a client. What is he going to do? Is he nning to spend the night with the client?” Le asked.


    Eileen replied resignedly, “No, he probably just set up an evening meeting.”


    Le squinted skeptically and said, “You folks from Onnd find it normal to have meetings at night without worrying about losing sleep. Has Bryan always gone to meetings sote? And isn’t it just too convenient that the client is here as well? Especially when you’re pregnant!”


    Eileen was aware that many men were unfaithful. Yet, she held firm in her belief that Bryan would not cheat on her.
