Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 22 Eileen Doesn’t Know Who Jasper Is Yet

Eileen calmed herself down, and sat down at the dining table.

Will asked, surprisingly concerned. “Ms. Elsie says you’ve been doing pretty well in school lately. What would you like as a reward?”

He had always been nothing but strict to her, and hardly ever talked at the dining table.

Elsie had obviously put him in a pretty good mood.

Eileen took the chance to say, “T’d like to take a trip to Seatown with my friends after my finals. Can I do that, Dad?”

“Sure you can. Have a driver go with you, it’s not safe for you to be on your own out there.”

Eileen did not seem too happy at this, merely smiling. “Thanks, Dad.”

Just then, Elsie said, “Are you going to Seatown for the beach? The view there is stunning, you should go after your finals and take a break.”

Eileen said half-heartedly, “Yeah, I haven’t been out in ages.”

A servant poured juice into Elsie’s cup, “Have you decided what school you’d like to go to? I’m sure you can get into Artemis if you work hard now, with the results you’ve been getting.”

Artemis University was a pretty decent school, and Sharon would be able to get in with her decent art subject results.

Eric knew what Eileen’s results were like, and had seen the papers she was doing in the hospital as well. She could even get into Hulbury University if she wanted to.

Hulbury University was the best university in the country.

Eileen chewed for a while, before saying, “I haven’t decided yet. We’ll see!”

“That’s fine too. I can make you a study plan once you’ve made your decision.” Elsie appeared to be nothing but concerned for Eileen, which Eileen had fallen for in her past life.

She was not going to stay in Hulbury, that was for sure.

She was fine with going to any regular university abroad.

Eileen was a little distracted all throughout eating.

Eric tried to find a way to talk to her several times, only for her to answer half-heartedly with short
