Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 83 Perhaps Eric Is His Biological Son

Eileen was constantly bothered by him until just before class started, and only then did he leave. If she had known it would be like this, she wouldn’t have returned to school. No sooner had Eileen settled into her seat than the vice homeroom teacher called her to the office.

Inside the office, the vice homeroom teacher was rummaging through the drawer. “Please have a seat!”

Eileen pulled a stool from the side and sat down.

Soon, the teacher pulled out an aspiration form.

“You haven’t been to school for such a long time, and you’re not answering your phone, Eileen. Has something happened at home?”

The vice homeroom teacher was the Clusian teacher of Class Six. After Elsie resigned, Xenia became the homeroom teacher in charge of Class Six. Most of the class affairs were also managed by her in the past.

Eileen had a fairly good impression of her. She wasn’t opportunistic and treated everyone equally. At least she wasn’t like Elsie, who approached her with insincere flattery and hidden

motives.

“Everything’s fine, Ms. Carter. Did you need me for something?”

Xenia handed Eileen a form. “All your classmates have already filled out their aspiration. forms. Last time I visited your house, there was no one there. Now that I’ve finally caught you at school, I thought I’d have you fill out your form. You’re the only one left in our class who hasn’t done so. The higher-ups are also urging me to hurry up.”

“Your dad didn’t attend the parent-teacher conference for this mid-term mock exam either.”

Eileen hung her head low, clutching at the hem of her clothes, at a loss for words.

Will never cared about her.

Sometimes, she wondered if she really was his biological daughter.

His concern for Eric far exceeded hers, to the point where she even thought that Eric was his biological child instead of her.

“I understand where you’re coming from. Just know that your future is in your hands. It would be a shame if you go along with this setup. You’re beautiful, and I appreciate that, but relying solely on your looks for attention won’t get you far. I prefer students who are intelligent and knowledgeable.
