Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 25 Mr. Eric Caught A Cold

In a state of panic, Eileen rushed back to the room, feeling utterly bewildered.

She slammed the door shut and locked it securely, pressing her whole body against it. Her trembling hands kept wiping her lips, as though she had touched something unclean.

Although Eileen had initiated her first kiss with Eric while intoxicated, she later kissed him in

secret.

Eric forcefully pushed her away, leaving an unforgettable expression of extreme disgust on

his face.

However, Eileen had changed. She wanted nothing to do with him anymore-feeling nauseated and as if countless flies had settled on her.

She kept rubbing her lips until they turned red, swollen, and numb, not feeling any pain.

Eileen tried to console herself, considering it just an accident that shouldn’t be taken to heart. However, lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, as Eric’s face completely occupied her thoughts.

However, Eric remembered that Eileen had taken special cooking classes, so it seemed possible that she could cook noodles well.

Eric tripped her on purpose earlier to observe her reaction, and he noticed an obvious. change in the way she looked at him.

Now, whenever he gets within three steps of Eileen, she visibly resisted him, which left him. with an odd feeling. He realized that her distance from him has nothing to do with Vera but stemmed from genuine dislike and fear.

What did you find out, Eileen?

Eric, who was used to being in control, found Eileen’s behavior challenging to grasp. He sensed that she was hiding something from him, making it hard for him to read her actions.
