Chapter 213 Where Does Eileen Wish To Return

People from the same school didn’t pay much attention to Eileen being with Jasper at first. However, the situation has changed, and more people are now noticing her. Previously, Eileen was almost invisible at school.

She knew that Jasper cared about her and wanted her to come home early.

However, she didn’t want this special treatment, nor did she need it. She didn’t want the rules. to be changed just for her.

Eileen simply wanted to live a simple life for the rest of her semester.

As she stepped out of the campus, she saw the school gate, where cameras were constantly flashing at her. Several reporters rushed up to her, holding microphones towards her. “Ms. Eileen, when did you start dating the CEO of Smith Corporation?”

“The CEO of Smith Corporation never appears in public. When did you two meet?”

“Where were you last night? The CEO of Smith Corporation caused such a stir just to find. you!”

Eileen had never faced such a situation before. The crowd was pressing in, and questions were coming at her one after another, leaving her feeling suffocated. Vera was pushed out of the crowd, leaving only Natalie standing in front of her.

“What are you doing? Stop crowding over here. Please move aside quickly.”

A reporter responded, “Please, do tell, Ms. Eileen.”

“Exactly!”

“Ladies and gentlemen!” A powerful voice rang out, silencing the clamor. As people turned to look, they were struck by the commanding presence of the man behind them. One by one, they quieted down, making way for him to pass.

Eileen’s face turned slightly pale. She had never experienced anything like this before. Neither Jasper nor Will had often faced various journalists’ interviews.

The person who arrived was Eric. Eileen stared at him as he approached. The moment she saw him, it felt as if time had separated them. The person from her past and the man he was now-their figures overlapped. A long-forgotten past suddenly resurfaced in her mind.

She couldn’t recall the exact date, in a certam year and a certain month, during their second year of marriage At that time in the eyes of the outside world, they were still considered a loving couple

Eric would occasionally bring her to banquets, and everyone knew she was the real “Mrs. Snow.”

That was also the first time she found out that Eric had been keeping a woman on the side… for three years, no less.

She remembered the sky back then, just as it was now, equally dark.

It was drizzling lightly.

Eric, accompanied by a popular young celebrity from the entertainment industry who bore at striking resemblance to Vera, was driving through the city streets.

Unintentionally, a photo was taken and posted online, and in less than half an hour, it was trending.

So she went to make a scene at Eric’s company, where she saw that woman sitting on Eric’s lap.

Eric’s explanation to her was that she had fallen accidentally. But… who would accidentally fall onto someone else’s husband’s lap?

Following that, she caused quite a commotion in his office. Eric lost his patience with her and had security throw her out of the company.

This scene was witnessed by the swarm of reporters outside the door. Faced with their various questions, Eileen, like a madwoman, started to physically lash out at them…

From that moment on, a permanent fissure formed in her marriage with Eric, one that could. never be mended. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

She proposed a divorce, and in response, Eric locked her in a gilded cage made of woven. golden threads…

And there he was, gallivanting around, surrounded by all sorts of women…

Eileen was lost in her past memories, unable to hear what Eric was saying to the reporter clearly.

It wasn’t until her wrist was seized by Eric that Eileen snapped back to reality. Then, she was shoved into the car, with Vera still sitting in the passenger seat.

Those reporters were relentlessly snapping photos of the car

Vera handed her a bottle of water, expressing her concern “Eileen, I noticed you’re looking rather pale. Are you okay?”

O

are we… going?”

Vera also didn’t know. She turned to the person next to her and asked, “Yes, Eric, where are we going?”

“Where does Eileen wish to return?” Eric posed this question. The words seemed to hint at something. Eileen placed the water she was holding back at her side. The direction they were heading was back to the Swan residence.

Eileen noticed, too, that Eric was looking at her through the rearview mirror. She averted her gaze, her voice faint as she spoke. “Drop me off at the side of the road. He will come to pick me up later.”

“I’m not comfortable with you being out there alone. It’s not even nine o’clock yet. Head back to Undella Mansion first. We can discuss everything else later.”

The words he spoke left no room for Eileen to refuse.

She didn’t say anything more.

Natalie sent her a text message to check on her, to which Eileen replied: “Don’t worry. I’m fine now.”

Natalie texted: “I’m glad you’re okay.”

Eileen informed Jasper about the situation. Once he finished dealing with the company matters, he would come to pick her

1.

Natalie sent a message: “By the way, your brother looked so handsome today! The things he said to the reporters and the way he took you away in front of so many people, you have no idea, all those reporters were intimidated by him.”

Eileen furrowed her brows, replying: “What did he say?”

Natalie. “You’ll see what I mean when you check the news online tomorrow. I can’t explain it well’ She added an emoji of a finger poking in distress.

Soon the tro arrived at Undella Mansion

“At this hour. Father should already be resting upstairs. Otherwise he must still be our and hastit returned home yet

Eleen hoped not to see lam

Otherwise, a scolding was inevitable

The three of them walked into the foyer, one after the other. Sharon was still in the kitchen. preparing late-night snacks. “Vera, you’re back. I made some sweet potato gnocchi. You mentioned last time that you wanted to try some, so I made it. Come and have a taste.”

“Sharon, Eileen is back as well. Please serve her some too. Let me assist you.”

“Sure, sure, sure…” Upon hearing that Eileen had also returned, Sharon was overjoyed. “I’ll prepare another bowl right away.”

Eileen held her schoolbag in her hand, standing motionless. She gave a faint smile and said, “No need. I… don’t really enjoy sweet things. I… will do some homework first.” With that, she took her schoolbag and sat down on the couch.

Sharon asked, “Should I make some ravioli? You used to adore them, didn’t you?”

I’m not hungry!”

“Prepare two bowls. Let’s eat before you leave.” Eric tossed his car keys on the coffee table and sat next to her.

Eileen’s grip tightened around the pen, but she remained silent.

Eric is observant, so he should know that I’m avoiding him. Why does he persist in getting closer?

Eileen felt extremely uneasy under his gaze.

Eric propped up his leg. “I heard you’re now second in the class? After getting into Hulbury University, what are your plans? Studying abroad or continuing with your painting?”

Eileen nonchalantly replied, “I’m not sure. We’ll see when the time comes.”

Vera approached with a bowl of gnocchi. “Eric, Sharon made too much. I can’t finish it all. Can you help me out?”
