Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 29 Act In Front Of Them

Eileen watched as Eric left, clutching her racing heart. She hoped that he would not doubt. her anymore. She had hinted that after the college entrance examination, she intended to distance herself from the family and go to Lumiose, far away from Hulbury. After graduating from university, she planned to sign up for teaching in the frontier, a decision that would not. interfere with Eric’s revenge plan against the Swan family.

In Eileen’s mind, Eric could treat her as if she were already dead and simply erase her from his life. Once she left the family, she would never return.

Looking at the stains on the blanket, Eileen siglied. Eric was heartless, she just changed the blanket today. Eric wanted her to experience what it felt like to be without a blanket at night, so he had not prepared clean ones for her.

As she threw the blanket on the ground, she thought about washing it the next day. However, she was irritated by Eric’s vengeful nature, considering that the quilts in the cupboard hadn’t been cleaned or dried for over half a year. She knew she would end up at the hospitaf due to her dust allergy if she used those quilts.

How vengeful, you scumbag!

In frustration, Eileen found a thick coat to cover herself, turned off the light, and laid on the bed.

The following morning was bright and sunny. When Eileen woke up, she was relieved to find that she didn’t have a headache or stuffy nose. However, to her surprise, she noticed that she was now covered with a bedsheet with gray stripes, a color that only Eric had.

She was terrified and lifted the blanket, realizing that it was Eric’s doing. Her face turned pale, and her mind raced with anxiety and shock.

Oh my God, did Eric sneak in my room last night?

Eileen’s head felt like it was going to explode, and she was filled with a sense of fear and. confusion.

Lately, Eric had been coming to her room more frequently, which was becoming concerning. Eileen wondered if she had forgotten to lock the door. She felt irritated by the thought.

Just then, Sharon knocked on her door and entered. She told Eileen that their father was. back and waiting for dinner. Eileen was surprised. “Dad is back?”

Sharon nodded, “Yes, Mr. Swan has also brought a woman back, or…” She stopped herself. before completing her sentence and urged Eileen to get ready.
