StartNovelChapter 1331: It wasn't until the sound of footsteps cfrom the stairs that Stella opened her eyes. When she saw it was only Bryan, her expression shifted.
"Where's Eileen?" Leyla asked first.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBryan responded softly, "She's still asleep, and Gabriela hasn't woken up, either. If you need her to do anything, I can do it for her." Stella opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, Leyla said, "You can't do it. How could a man handle these tasks? Your hands are for working. Leave the chores to the women. Go and wake Eileen up." "She sleeps more during pregnancy. If she doesn't rest well, her mood might suffer, and it could affect her eating. When I married her—” Bryan, confused by Leyla's words, tried to explain patiently.
But Leyla didn't allow him to continue, interjecting, "Don't bring up the past. Let's focus on now. She hasn't even given you a son to be the Dawson family's heir. She hasn't achieved anything significant. It's just one day. What's the big deal? If you won't wake her, then I will." As she spoke, Leyla stood up and started leaving the dining room.
"Wait," Stella quickly said, stopping Leyla. "There's no need to be so harsh. Bryan has a point. Eileen is pregnant. Let her rest a little longer. Bryan can assist me." Leyla paused, frowning. "Is that really appropriate?" Stella replied, “There's nothing wrong with it.” "Then I'll help, too. I've prepared Christmas Eve dinners in Onaland many times, so I should know a thing or two." Ruby rolled up her sleeves and efficiently began the preparations.
Stella gave instructions from the side, and everyone else present proceeded in an organized fashion. After a while, Bryan started making breakfast. He knew Eileen would be hungry when she woke up.
Leyla went to the living room to watch TV while snacking. Every now and then, she glanced toward the dining room, her face calm.
By the tit was almost eight, daylight had filled the room. Sunlight filtered through the curtains, brightening the once dim space.

Reaching for her phone on the nightstand, she saw it was almost eight in the morning. Even Gabriela was already awake! Without hesitation, she tossed aside the covers, tied her hair in a messy bun, and left the room to head downstairs.
But then, she noticed Leyla sitting in the hallway. She wasn't sure where Leyla had found a small chair, but there she was, sitting on it.
"I knew you would be anxious when you woke up. No need to rush. Go wash up. Everything is fine downstairs. Stella is a bit upset, but I lost my temper before she could," Leyla smiled with pride.
The corner of Eileen's mouth bean twitched when she heard this. She e returned to her room to wash up.

She believed it must have been Bryan who had turned off her alam she should have set a few more.
