Eileen quickly poured a glass of water from the refrigerator and hurried back to her room.

Vera glanced at the disappearing figure on the stairs and said, “Maybe I should give her at bowl of soup upstairs. I’m worried she might feel uncomfortable.”

Eric affectionately stroked Vera’s hair and replied. “I’ll do it.”

He stood up and made his way upstairs.

Vera bit her lip, feeling uneasy about Eric meeting Eileen alone. However, she was also afraid of facing Eileen herself.

Meanwhile, Eileen was lying on her bed, about to close her bedroom door, when suddenly, the door was opened, and Eric entered her room without knocking. This gesture. bothered her; everything else about Eric was fine, but this lack of respect for privacy left her feeling somewhat disgusted.

Eileen stared at the photo in disbelief, her hands shaking, and she accidentally overturned. the bowl of soup onto the bed, staining the blanket. Eric’s expression remained indifferent and stern, as if he was trying to force her to admit something.

The photo showed her standing by the window, taken from the perspective of someone in a car. The picture was taken when Eileen was spying on Elsie.

Feeling the burn from the spilled soup on her thighs, Eileen quickly got out of bed, avoiding
