Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 1210:

“No,” Milford assured him, knowing that the only reason Barry employed him was because he had once saved Lisa Navarro, Barry’s sister.

“Since you don’t have parents or other relatives to worry about, why bother saving money?” Barry asked, chuckling.

He found it odd that a young man like Milford could endure the monotonous daily grind, seemingly only pausing for water breaks.

After pausing to think, Milford answered, “It’s for my sister.”

“You have a sister?” Barry frowned. “Why haven’t you mentioned her before? Does she know you’re working for me here?”

“No,” Milford replied, his tone softening. “I’m saving to buy her a gift. I haven’t been able to give her a proper present since she was born.” His expression softened further as he thought of Gabriela.

Barry considered Milford’s relationship with his sister to be ordinary. He believed Milford could only make a living by himself, but he was a good uncle to his sister’s child. Despite his youth, Milford was eager to buy gifts for his sister’s child.

“Head back now,” Barry said. “When it’s time for you to collect your salary, I’ll meet you at the construction site. During Lisa’s holidays, come over to tutor her. Your pay will remain intact, and it’s an agreement to the university. I’ll give you a bonus.”

Milford agreed immediately. With his hands in his pockets, he bid farewell and departed.

Meanwhile, Presley was conversing with the club owner. “You’re saying Bryan was here at noon yesterday looking for someone?” Presley asked.noveldrama

The owner, Keaton Archer, replied, “Yes, he was searching for a construction worker from my friend’s site.”

Presley, intrigued, inquired, “Was it Milford he was looking for?”

“Yes,” Keaton nodded and asked, “How did you know that?”

Presley had been more impressed by Zola than Vivian among the women around Bryan. At a pivotal moment, Zola had persuaded Vivian to travel overseas, raising Presley’s suspicions. Zola, who was from Wist Land, had been adopted. She had lost her parents years ago and also had a younger brother. Presley had been closely watching Zola but ceased following the Murray family matters when Zola had gone to jail.

“Why is Bryan searching for Milford?” Presley asked.

“I learned from Dawson’s assistant about Milford’s close relationship with Mr. Dawson’s wife. Mr. Dawson and his wife even tried to bail Milford out previously,” Keaton replied. This knowledge was not a secret in such a place.

“Did you inform Mr. Dawson about Milford’s current activities?” Presley asked.

Keaton, conflicted, responded, “It’s complicated. My friend said Milford saved his sister. Milford only wanted to work for him and make some money. He asked his friend not to tell anyone about him if people were looking for him.”

Keaton valued his friendship with Barry but also feared offending Bryan, leaving him in a difficult position as he hesitated to act.

Just then, Barry entered and noticed Presley. He paused briefly, offering a quick smile. “Ah, this lady is here for you, Keaton.”
