Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 93 No Need To Worry

Vera bit her lip, quickly turned around, and noticed the person in the back seat. Her voice was soft, with a hint of sadness. “I’m sorry, Eileen. I checked your schedule today, and I thought you had evening self-study, so I…”

Eileet in the mood to discuss these matters and didn’t care about Vera’s embarrassed expression now.

Still feeling a bit unwell, she closed her eyes and said, “It’s okay, it’s my fault. Alan, let’s go! First, drop Vera off.”

“Sure thing, Ms. Eileen.”

Alan was a trusted member of the Swan family. He was sincere, honest, and dedicated. Otherwise, Will wouldn’t have kept him around for so long.

Vera’s expression turned sour. “Alan, just take me to Eric’s company. I’ll wait for him there, and we have some things to discuss later.”

Alan didn’t directly respond to Vera. Instead, he looked at Eileen through the rearview mirror and asked, “Ms. Eileen, do you want to change the destination?”

He wanted Eileen’s approval.

Eileen mumbled a vague “yes” without saying more.

Vera seemed embarrassed as she kept her head down and remained silent.

In the past, when Eileen still had feelings for Eric, she used to go to his company after school, waiting for him to finish work, and then they would leave together. Those were the days when Eileen insisted on going to the company.

However, Eileen couldn’t help but wonder-who would Eric choose between Yvette, who was powerful and influential with a strong background and potential benefits for him, and Vera, his beloved first crush whom he had been through thick and thin with?

She was once a participant in this competition, but now, she was merely a member of the audience.

Eileen hoped that Vera and Eric would become a couple as compensation for what she owed Vera in her past life,

But what she owed Vera had already been repaid when she decided to take the plunge.
