Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 160 Keep You Company

“Oh That night, why didn’t you ask Jasper if you were unsure? Did you really not understand. or were you pretending not to know? Hm?” He playfully pinched her chin, holding her gaze with narrowed eyes. “Or is it that you simply didn’t want your brother to teach you?”

He followed it with a playful pinch on her waist as a form of punishment.

Eileen winced in pain, the area where he had pinched her waist last time still not fully healed. Despite the passing days, he continued to bring up old issues.

“You’ve misunderstood; that question is beyond the syllabus.”

“Is that so? Then show it to me.”

Eileen rolled her eyes, her tone gradually growing impatient. “Eric, this is really annoying. Can’t you give me some personal space? Don’t make me feel like a prisoner under constant. surveillance. Don’t you have anything else to do?”

“Wouldn’t it be better for you to go find Vera?” she snapped.

Eric

gave a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes as he remarked, “This isn’t about Vera. I came here to keep you company; why are you getting upset?”

He could see through her lie with clarity.

From childhood, she found pleasure in telling lies. When she lied, avoiding direct eye contact was her telltale sign.

This was her biggest flaw.

Eileen observed the sudden frostiness in Eric’s eyes. Every time they were alone, especially when Vera was mentioned, Eric’s gaze would turn icy.

Just like it did now.

Eileen acknowledged that, even though Eric might not openly harm her while at home, the future remained uncertain. Eric was the kind of person who held grudges and sought retaliation, a man with both a dark and petty side.

Engaging in an argument with him yielded no advantage.

Suppressing the discomfort deep within, Eileen said, “Then let go of me.”

The man indeed released his grip, allowing her to take a seat at the table. She smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes and retrieved the workbook given by Jacob, flipping it open to the
