Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Will You Marry Me

Eric lifted Vera and settled her into the passenger seat, securing her seatbelt. The waiter handed him her bag.

“Sir, is this lady your girlfriend? I noticed she’s been drinking alone and almost got harassed. Your girlfriend is very attractive, so please make sure not to let her go out alone in the future.”

Eric took a few bills from his wallet, left them as a tip without a word, walked around the front of the car, got into the driver’s seat, and drove off quickly.

Upon arriving at Euphoria Condominium, Eric stepped out of the car. He glanced at his watch. There was still over an hour left, so he was on time.

As Eric helped Vera out of the car, she weakly collapsed into his arms. “I don’t want to go home. I want to drink more…”

“Stop fooling around, Vera. You have school tomorrow.”

Suddenly. Vera pushed Eric away with newfound strength. She staggered back a few steps and almost fell over. Eric looked at her intently and asked, “Vera, did something happen. today?”

Vera shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Eric. “Eric, should I not have come back from abroad? No… I shouldn’t have been saved in the first place. I wouldn’t be in so much pain then. Why is it that no matter where I go, nobody seems to like me? Is there something wrong with me? I feel like I’m just a burden, unable to help you with anything.

Vera sobbed, her hands covering her face as tears streamed down relentlessly.

“You don’t need to do anything, and you shouldn’t worry about what others think. All you need to do is what you believe is right. You’re still young, Vera. I will give you what she has and what she doesn’t. I won’t leave you alone anymore.”

“Oh, Eric!” Vera stepped forward, throwing herself into Eric’s arms as she continued, “I’ve realized that you’re all I have now. Promise me you won’t abandon me in the future? If you don’t want me, then I will have no family left.”

Eric held her tightly, responding. “How could I not want you, Vera? I’m just waiting for you to grow up.”

Vera looked up at him, her eyes as pure as raindrops on crystals. “Eric, will you marry me in

the future?”

“You’re still young, Vera.”

“You’re changing the subject again. You clearly like me too, so why won’t you admit it? Once I get into university next year, let’s be together, okay? Please, Eric! I’ve wanted to marry you since I was a little girl!”

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the darkness. “Hey, lady! Could you hurry up? My shift is almost. over!”

The car horn also started blaring.

Eileen had just left Eric’s condominium unit, her hands tucked into the pockets of her black coat. A bag of potato chips and chestnut pie hung from her wrist. With her head lowered, she seemed half-asleep until the sound of car horns woke her up.

Her eyes squinted with sleepiness as she saw two people embracing each other by the taxi.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the fallen leaves on the ground to rustle.

Eileen blinked, glancing at Eric, then at Vera. The confusion in her eyes seemed to clear up a bit. Then, she raised a corner of her mouth into a sleepy smile. “Eric, Vera, what a coincidence! Sharon asked me to come over and pick up some things.”

Eileen was about to head back when she received a call from Sharon. Originally, Sharon was supposed to deliver something to her, but since the Undella Mansion was quite far from Euphoria Condominium, she didn’t feel comfortable letting Sharon go out so late at night. Therefore, she decided to make the trip herself.

She didn’t want to come over at first because she feared she would run into them.

She only went over when Sharon told her that Eric wasn’t home yet.

Looking at the condominium unit, she saw traces of their life together. Two pairs of matching slippers, two toothbrushes in a cup, and two sets of cutlery.

The more Eileen looked, the more upset she became. Taking her things, she left quickly.

Letting go of a man she had loved for decades was not as easy as it sounded.

Right now, he’s probably celebrating Vera’s birthday with her…

She didn’t expect to run into them right under their condominium building. It was such a coincidence.

Eileen lowered her head and hunched her shoulders as she walked to the taxi. Just as she was about to open the door, she thought of something and turned to Vera with a smile. “I forgot to tell you something, Vera. Happy birthday!”

O

Vera nodded. “Thank you.”

Eileen settled into the car, her eyes closed, and said wearily. “Let’s go.”

Upon leaving Euphoria Condominium, the image that filled Eileen’s closed eyes was of them embracing each other.

They truly are a perfect match!

In fact, she had heard most, if not all, of what they said.

It’s not that Eric doesn’t want to be with Fera, but he has been waiting for her to grow up. It turns out that my liking Eric from the very beginning was a mistake. Those two are in love with each other. It was me who drove Vera to her death in my previous life. That’s why Eric hated me to the core. I’ve been bringing it upon myself all along. It was all my fault…

As Eileen found herself unable to sleep, she gazed out at the scenery through the car window. A gust of wind suddenly blew in, causing her to shiver and wrap her coat tighter around. herself.

Time flies by so quickly! More than half a year has already passed before I even realized it. In just over a month, it will be time to celebrate the New Year.

The driver glanced at Eileen through the rearview mirror and pressed a button to roll car window.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Undella Mansion..

up the

Standing downstairs, the entire mansion was enveloped in darkness, devoid of any light.

Beneath the dim glow of a street lamp, a few insects fluttered about.

In the past, no matter how late she came home, there was always someone who left a light on for her, waiting for her return.

That person would also prepare a bowl of steaming hot pasta for her, which happened to be her absolute favorite dish. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

However, the person who had always awaited her return was no longer present.

At times, Eileen felt incredibly lonely, as if she were the only person in the entire world.

Fortunately, she had already become accustomed to this situation.

Eileen clasped her hands together, took a deep breath, and retrieved a key from her bag. She unlocked the door and entered the chilly home.

In recent days, Eileen had been leading a simple life, centered around eating, sleeping, and attending training classes.

She often returned home late and rarely saw Will. She heard that he had gone on vacation to Thymion with Elsie.

Ene was also on a business trip abroad.

Almost every time Eileen returned home, it was around ten o’clock at night.

Without even realizing it, Eileen had grown accustomed to her current level of study intensity. Even in dance, which she wasn’t particularly skilled at, she could now easily bend at the waist. She could also effortlessly perform splits and straddle jumps.

Indeed, a person had the potential to influence the rate at which she made

progress.

After the training, the next steps were the competition and the certification examination.

There was a mountain of tasks waiting for her to tackle. She didn’t even have time to attend the midterm mock exam at Petalburg High School.

The phone rang in the living room. It was a call from the school. Mary, who was busy cleaning, answered it, “Hello, who is calling?”

“Excuse me, is Eileen available?”

“I’ll get her, hold on!”

Eileen was just coming downstairs when she picked up the phone.

It wasn’t clear what was said over the phone, but Eileen responded, “I’ve been really busy lately. I’ll be there for the final exam, but I really don’t have time for anything else. I’m sorry, teacher.”

She then hung up the phone after saying that. The person on the other end was simply reminding her to come back and take the exam.

Leaning against the wall in the foyer, Eileen took out a pair of leather boots. But then, as if remembering something, she switched to a pair of Blake sneakers.

“Where are you going, Ms. Eileen?”

“I’m going out for a bit. Don’t wait for me for dinner.”

“Mr. Swan will be returning with Ms. Field tonight. What should I tell him if he asks about you?”
