    Chapter: 897


    The voice of a woman, gentle and light-hearted, rang out from the phone.


    Tightening his lips, Brian replied curtly, “I’m tied up. | don’t have time.”


    Asweetly persuasive tone Laced the woman’s words. “Brian, it’s best if you agree. After all, it’s your mother’s request. If she


    were to find out you refused, she would be quite displeased.”


    Mulling over his mother’s potential reaction, a look of helplessness crept into Brian''s eyes.


    “Just send me your flight details.”


    “Perfect, see you tomorrow.”


    Once the call ended, Brian stared at his phone, his mind seemingly distant.

    His demeanor hadn''t been cold or detached.


    Brian quickly slipped back into his usual aloof and dismissive persona.


    “Get some sleep. This doesn’t concern you.”


    Feigning a sulk, Eleanor implored, “I can’t seem to drift off. Would you mind joining me?”


    Ashadow of irritation passed over Brian’s face.


    “Eleanor, | agreed to stay because | felt guilty, not because | hold any interest in you. Our rtionship is purely transactional.”


    If he hadn’t lost hisposure that night, he wouldn’t have entangled himself with her.


    Fortunately, this misguided rtionship was nearing its end.


    He was on the brink of returning to his regr life.


    Eleanor’s gaze Locked onto Brian''s chiseled yet frosty features, her eyes brimming with frustration and stubborn refusal.


    Why didn’t he find her appealing?


    She was just as desirable as Rosalynn.
