Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 914:

“Is she Dottie’s daughter? I was abroad when I heard she had returned. I just came back recently, so I decided to pay you a visit. It’s coming a bit late, but congratulations, Mrs. Vazquez.”

Leyla gently patted Eileen’s hand and said, “Dottie must be content in heaven, knowing that her daughter is back home. You can focus on your own life; there’s no need to visit me so frequently.”

She led Keith to a chair and started chatting with him as soon as they both sat down. From their conversation, Eileen gathered that Keith was a father of two, a son and a daughter, and that his wife was of aristocratic descent. Both of his children had already tied the knot.noveldrama

“It’s common for young couples to delay or forgo having children nowadays. My kids have been married for several years, but they’re still not willing to have kids, which makes my wife upset.” At the mention of his children, Keith looked resigned and a little upset.

Leyla chuckled and said, “Most young people are like that. But my Eileen is an exception, getting married and having a child at a relatively young age.”

The two of them continued talking about everyday matters.

Eileen didn’t get a chance to join the conversation. She just listened, feeling flustered when Leyla suddenly mentioned her name out of the blue.

“She really looks like Dottie. I heard about what happened in the Vazquez family recently. Have you made arrangements for Dottie’s body to be moved?” Keith asked.

“I’ve already made the arrangements and set a date. Thank you for your concern,” Leyla replied.

Keith smiled. “I’m glad you’ve taken care of the matter. I don’t want to overstep, but if you require any assistance down the line, don’t hesitate to reach out.”

Eileen caught a glimmer of duty and devotion to family in Keith’s eyes. In his mind and heart, Keith had already wed Dottie and embraced Leyla as his own mother-in-law, even if circumstances hadn’t allowed Dottie and him to be together.

After a brief conversation, Keith rose to his feet and bid them farewell.

The moment Keith departed, Leyla let out a sigh and said, “Since your mother’s passing, he has been visiting the Vazquez family more often. As an outsider, he was able to see Conroy’s true aspirations very clearly. He has approached me discreetly several times, offering to assist me, but I’ve declined. Your mother didn’t want to tear his family apart. How could I possibly allow him to get entangled in our family’s affairs?”

If Keith were to get involved in the Vazquez family’s property dispute, it would inevitably cause discontent with the Aston family. Keith’s wife would also be displeased. It was highly probable that she was already unhappy and resented the fact that Keith came to visit Leyla every year.

“I have a good impression of him. My mother didn’t misjudge him.” In Eileen’s opinion, it was worth it that Dottie had known Keith and given birth to a child with him.

Leyla smiled gently. “It’s worth it. I wish I could die sooner and tell your mother what Keith has done since she passed away, as well as the joyous news of your return.”

Eileen was momentarily stunned. She quickly said, “Don’t you want to witness my future happiness? You can share even more stories with my mother after you’re gone. For instance, will I have another child? If so, will it be a boy or a girl? And if I don’t have a son, will Bryan be disappointed in me? My mother would surely want to know the answers to these questions, and you won’t be able to share them with her if you die early.”

“Wow!” Leyla’s eyes widened in astonishment.
