Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 174 Eric Has Fallen For Eileen

Upon seeing Eric’s silence, Elsie was on the verge of a breakdown.

Hasn’t he taken enough lives already? Don’t you also wish for his death? Why are you hesitating? Is it because of Eileen?”

Elsie gave a desolate smile. “Ah, I knew it Eric, you’ve developed feelings for Eileen!”

Eric’s eyes turned cold. “I won’t let your affairs disrupt my plans. It’s not just about the Swan family anymore. If you want Will dead, heal your wounds first before coming to talk to me!”

He turned around and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

Eric returned to his adjacent room. At the door, he became alert, noticing a faint noise coming from inside.

He pushed the door handle and walked in. The sound was coming from the bathroom.

His eyes narrowed as a dangerous glint flashed across them.

In just a few minutes, the sound of the shower ceased, and the bathroom door swung open. Vera emerged, wrapped in a Blake towel, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. Fresh from her bath, her skin was flushed, while her eyes sparkled dreamily. She looked irresistibly alluring, like a fawn stepping out of the forest.

“What are you doing here?”

Vera covered her chest with both hands, fear and shyness evident in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Eric. I thought you were still downstairs. The water heater in my room is broken, so I thought I could shower in your bathroom.”

“Go back and rest after you’re done,” Eric said as he turned to leave. Just as his hand touched the doorknob, Vera rushed over and hugged his waist from behind. “Eric, don’t go!”

“I’ve already gone this far, can’t you tell?” Vera had set aside her sense of propriety and decency to come to a man’s room, actively seeking intimacy. “Eric, I like you. I’ve liked you since we were children. You once said that you would always be with me. You wanted to wait until I went to college to give me your answer, but I can’t wait any longer. I’m afraid that if I do, you might change your mind and fall for someone else. I beg you, please make me yours, will you? Only then will I truly feel that I belong to you.”

Eric’s voice was icy. “So now, apart from getting into a man’s bed, is there nothing else you can do? Vera… you’re still a student. What you should be doing is studying, not engaging in such shameless acts. But Eileen did the same thing to you, didn’t she? You could accept her! Why can’t you accept me? Eric-”

Enough! Erie cut her off fiercely. Over the years, Eric had always indulged her, never losing his temper, but today was the first time he did so.

“I’m just scared of losing you. What’s wrong with that?”

Eric turned around. “Let go!”
