Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 246 I Don’t Need Your Affection

Just as Eileen was about to curse him out, a sudden ringtone from a phone on the table interrupted her. It was Eric’s phone ringing.

Without hesitation. Eileen shifted her gaze to the screen, where the incoming caller was labeled “Vera.”

WELA

It was Vera who was calling him.

Eileen initially thought that Eric would get up to answer the call, as she was well aware of his habit. Whenever he answered the phone, he never allowed anyone to be by his side.

Even in her past life, when she became his wife, Eileen had to step away to avoid it.

Now, Eileen also hoped for the same. She didn’t want to stay in the same space with him.

Eric just gave the phone a quick glance with no intention of picking it up

Pretending to be ignorant. Eileen asked. “Aren’t you going to answer it?” She turned a page.

The phone call ended after a dozen or so seconds. When it rang for the second time, Erit picked up his phone, feeling a hand loosening its grip around his waist.

As Eileen was about to stand up, Eric’s chair moved backward, and with one hand, he pulled her back. This time, he held her tightly in his arms. If you dare to run around again, next time, I will chain you up, and you won’t be able to go anywhere. Stay quiet until I finish these documents.”

Eric picked up the phone and held it to his car. “What’s up?”

She could hear Vera’s voice clearly.)

Vera said, “Eric, I went to the company today and wanted to have lunch with you. But Cavin told me you weren’t at the company

Eric responded. “Hmm. It’s inconvenient to travel back and forth from school. You don’t need to come to the company anymore, Just focus on your studies at school.

Vera chuckled lightly and said, “Eric, have you forgotten? I’ve already passed the second round of the Olympiad Math exam. I won’t need to take the university entrance exam in the future. I can directly enter Hulbury University. So… I was thinking I won’t be too busy with my studies. I plan to come and have meals with you every day. You’ve been coming home less frequently recently, so I just want to spend more time with you….” Her voice carried a hint of grievance.

“I have something else to attend to right now. Whatever you have to

say, let’s talk when I get back.”

Eric didn’t give her a chance to speak. He hung up the phone. The man looked down at the person in arms. “What are you thinking about? Still can’t let go of the exam?”

Eileen rose from ham, “So you do remember… A faint, cold smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. You red my math Olympiad exam. Do you plan to prevent me from even taking the midterms in the

Eric’s gaze darkened, a mix of unusual emotions between them. He was quietly watching her,

After a moment of silence, he said, “There’s more than one way to take a shortcut, you know.”

Eileen nodded with a smile, but there was an unshakeable pain in her eyes. “But for me, it’s the fastest shortcut. The most ridiculous thing is that my efforts were destroyed by you so easily. I’m not willing to accept it, but… what can I do? No matter what I do, it all ends up being in vain. From now on… you should just live happily in your world with Vera. Don’t bother me anymore, or else… I’ll tell Vera everything you’ve done to me. My life is already ruined, so I have nothing to worry about. But it’s different for your Vera. If she acts out of sorrow, I won’t take it into consideration… The door downstairs can’t keep you out. If it comes to it, I’ll just replace it with another one. Ifall else fails… I’ll swallow my pride and return to the Smith residence. It’s just like being with you….”

Eileen turned to leave, not wanting to spend another moment with him. As she reached the door, she paused. I’m not sure why you’ve chosen to stay here these past few days, but let me make something clear. Whether you regret what you ve done to me and wish to make amends, or whether you have other intentions toward me, I can assure you… No matter how much you do now, it can’t make up for what you’ve done in the past. What has happened can’t be undone, and if we were both wrong, so there should be no further entanglement between us. Eric… we… should end it here. I don’t need your affection

Eileen was no fool, nor was she overly sentimental. It was just that she understood Eric’s temperament too well.

If he i

hardened his heart, she wouldn’t stand a chance at survival.

He would go to great lengths to seek revenge on her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come here at all.

a mere flick of his fingers, he could watch her die in agony.

But he… did not do that

When she swallowed the sleeping pills, he carried her to the bathroom to induce vomiting.

She hadn’t eaten in a few days, so he cooked for her, making sure she ate.

Furthermore, he wouldn’t intervene when she was inflicting self-harm to release the pain within….

Not only that, but he also helped her bandage her wounds.

He really didn’t need to do all these unnecessary things at all.

If Eric, when she didn’t like him, still liked her and developed a fondness for her, what did everything she did in her past life amount to?

She loved him so much in her past life.

Even in the end, she humbly pleaded, hoping for him to glance her way just once.

But… what did she get in return?

After Eileen left, she heard a great commotion coming from the study. However, she didn’t concem herself with u.

that right does he have to be angry?

Does he even deserve to feel that way!

Eileen returned to the living room, reconnected the telephone line, and contacted a home renovation company to replace her door with a burglar-proof one. Additionally, she ordered several interior locks. Without someone inside to unlock them, they couldn’t be opened from the outside.

She took everything he had bought from the fridge and threw it all into the trash bin, not leaving a single item. These were all things that Gavin had sent over.

Ever since the incident with the drugging. Eileen had never touched anything from Eric.

Eileen returned to her room and tightly shut the doors and windows.

If it hadn’t been for her momentary lapse of attention, Eric wouldn’t have had any chance to enter when Mary went home

The words she just spoke were partly true and partly false. Whenever Eileen spoke these self- deprecating words in from of him, she always felt a sense of pleasure. She didn’t understand why, when it was clear that she was the one who had been hurt all along.
