Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 70 Harmonious Atmosphere

“What would you like to drink?” Quinton asked.

Eileen replied, “Just a cup of warm water, please.”

Suddenly, a familiar voice broke the silence. “Well, well, if it isn’t Eileen! Long time no see!”

Eileen turned to see Eric approaching with a sharp gaze and a dominating presence. She felt a wave of dread wash over her, and her panic almost made her blurt out an explanation.

In her past life, even if Eric didn’t love her, his possessiveness was disturbingly extreme.

Eileen scolded herself inwardly, “Eileen, oh Eileen! How weak can you be? You’re just ordinary siblings now, and yet you’re so afraid of him! Can’t you have some dignity?”

Trying to compose herself, Eileen stood up and nodded. “Yes, Mr. Wright brought me here to cat right after I finished my lesson.”

Quinton stood up and extended his hand to Eric. “Hello, I’m Quinton Wright, Eileen’s golf coach.”

Eric briefly shook hands with Quinton. “Eric Snow, Eileen’s brother.”

Eileen couldn’t help but think, “His surname is Snow, but mine is Swan.”

Quinton didn’t inquire further. “Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we have a meal together? Eileen and I just arrived as well.”

Eric looked at Eileen and abruptly said, “No need, I have plans.”

Zachary, eager to stir up trouble, chimed in, “Eric, don’t be like that! It’s rare for me to have a meal with Eileen. Besides, Vera will be here soon. What’s the rush? Right, Eileen?”

Petalburg High School had a lunch break of over two hours, so they had plenty of time.

Suddenly, Eileen remembered something.

Today was Vera’s birthday. Eileen’s own birthday was next week on the twelfth, exactly one week apart from Vera’s.

Her birthday celebration was usually simple. Every year, Sharon would make her a cake and her favorite pasta.

With Sharon taking care of Vera, Eileen didn’t expect anything this year.
