"Because I'm the wife the Dawson family groomed for Bryan, it's reasonable for you not to like me.” "No, it's not like that," Eileen replied with a smile, shaking her head. "As long as Bryan hasn't chosen you, I won't dislike you." Though the Dawson family intended for Bryan to marry Zola, it didn't concern Eileen. After all, others couldn't dictate Bryan's feelings.
Perhaps Zola hadn't expected Eileen to respond so calmly and confidently; she seemed slightly taken aback. Her gaze softened as she studied Eileen, and after a few seconds, a smile broke across her face. "No wonder Bryan likes you. I'm starting to like you now, too. You're sensible, and honestly, you're more likable than Vivian and those upper-class ladies. I've seen too much insincerity from them." Zola's words were genuine, yet for sreason, Eileen felt a sense of detachment before her. She listened with a light smile as Zola rambled on.
Glancing at her watch, Eileen noted that half an hour had passed. She decided to interrupt Zola. “Sorry, I have a meeting at ten. If there's something important you need to discuss, please do so now. We can chat about the other matters another time." Zola looked slightly frustrated with herself. "Look at me, getting carried away. I enjoyed talking with you so much that I lost track of time. I actually cto discuss Kian. Bryan is in a difficult situation now. It's not good that he and Kian have fallen out because of you. We should think of a way to ease the tension in their relationship." "You wantto apologize to Kian?" Eileen cut straight to the heart of the matter.
In the quiet coffee shop, sunlight poured in, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Eileen took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa. When Zola remained silent, she spoke again. "Miss Murray, you have a good relationship with both Bryan and Kian. I understand the dynamics better than you might think, but an apology isn't the solution." Your favorite tales live on gVlZola tilted her head, her expression shifting from frustration to contemplation. "I know it's complicated, but Kian can be... difficult. He's protective of Vivian, and any threat to her well-being-especially someone like you- triggers his defenses." Eileen crossed her arms, considering Zola's words. “I understand that. But Kian needs to realize that I'm not a threat. I care about Bryan, and I won't let anyone cbetween us." Zola nodded slowly, a hint of admiration in her eyes. "You're stronger than I thought. That's one of the reasons Bryan is drawn to you." Eileen smiled softly, feeling a sense of camaraderie with Zola. “I appreciate your support, Zola. I really do. But I think the best way forward is to allow Bryan and Kian to sort out their issues on their own." Zola sighed, seeming to accept Eileen's perspective. "Alright, I'll back off for now. But promiseyou'll keep an eye on Kian. He can be unpredictable, and I don't want him to lash out in a way that could hurt you." "I promise," Eileen assured her, feeling more at ease now.
