NovelOnlineChapter 1413: Before Eileen could fully process this information, Bryan added, "Raymond's on his way to take you home. Is that alright?" Eileen blinked, frowning slightly. "Isn't that a bit over the top? I could just take a taxi. Besides, doesn't the company have spare cars? I can also drive myself home." In truth, Eileen had an ulterior motive. She had been craving sdesserts from a nearby shop for days.
Bryan, ever the health-conscious one, had warned her that too much cream could affect the baby in her belly, only allowing her to indulge twice a month.

"And if I find out you didn't listen..." Resigned, Eileen acquiesced to Raymond's chauffeur services. Once settled in Raymond's car, Eileen fastened her seatbelt and pulled up the dessert shop's address on her phone. Before she could voice her request, Raymond spoke, his voice low and cautious. "Mr. Dawson installed a tracker in the car." Even the slightest detour would alert Bryan immediately.
Eileen's fingers stilled on her phone as she turned to Raymond, her mind whirring. "Then I can just get out of the car now. You can drive to my hand report back later." Raymond hesitated and then leaned in conspiratorially. "Actually, the tracker's just a small device. We could remove it, place it in a cab headed to your house, and then reattach it to the car after we get back." A satisfied smile spread across Eileen's face. “Clever thinking. Go ahead. I'll place the order now to save tand minimize any inconvenience for you." Discover the best stories at galnovsWith a resigned sigh, Raymond removed the tracker and hailed a cab.
He wasn't naturally cunning, but always caught between Bryan's demands and Eileen's determination, he had learned to do these kinds of things.
When Eileen set her mind on something, resistance was futile. Better to indulge her pastry craving than risk greater trouble. After all, she wasn't meeting another man in secret-surely this small matter was not something unforgivable.
Thirty minutes later, Eileen and Raymond retrieved the coveted desserts. Another half hour passed before they were safely home, with the tracker reattached.
After Raymond finished reinstalling the tracker, he gently reminded Eileen about the dessert wrappers. "Don't forget to throw away the wrappers after you eat." "You can throw them away for me," Eileen responded, quickly peeling away the outer layers of packaging and handing them to Raymond.
Back at home, Eileen joined Ruby and Gabriela at the living room coffee table, and they all enjoyed the delicious desserts together.
"Mommy, this is so sweet!" Gabriela exclaimed, her mouth smeared with cream and her tummy happily full. She glanced at another slice of cake and added, “But maybe too much isn't good for you and the baby inside you."
Eileen had actually bought that extra piece of cake on purpose. She was thinking of staying hfrom work tomorrow and enjoying it while Bryan was out.
She softly patted her belly and said to Gabriela, "It's okay to have a little E stg treat. The baby wants to try it told? If the baby doesn't get a taste, they might cry and cry until they beca grumpy, frowning baby. You wouldn't want a grumpy little brother or sister, would you?"
