Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 192 I Have Fallen In Love Now

It was half-past eight.

Eileen sat in the back seat, gazing gloomily at the scenery outside the window. “If I hadn’t left. so early, I wouldn’t have run into them.”

She had left early that day, hoping to get home and rest early.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Eric and Vera, who had also just left.

They were planning to grab a late-night snack.

Eric didn’t give Eileen a chance to refuse as he led her to the car.

Both Eric and Vera happily discussed what to eat and their plans for the weekend.

Being with them made Eileen feel like a third wheel, completely out of place.

It was as if she was an outsider, forcefully inserted into their lives.

Vera turned her head and asked, “Eileen, what would you like to eat? Should we have barbecue or go for fish?”

Eileen was lost in thought at first, but quickly snapped back to reality. She hesitated before breaking into a slight smile. “I’m fine with anything. Actually, I’m not that hungry.”

“You haven’t been home for such a long time. If I didn’t know you would finish school at the same time, we wouldn’t even have a chance to meet.”

After some thought, Vera suggested, “In that case, why don’t we go for some barbecue skewers?”

Eileen unintentionally met Eric’s deep gaze in the rearview mirror, and her heart fluttered as she quickly looked away. “Alright then.”

She had never eaten barbecue skewers before, so she didn’t know if they would upset her

stomach.

The last meal she had with Elm had already caused her quite a bit of trouble.

The three of them arrived at a slightly upscale restaurant, where quite a few people were still dining at that hour.

Just as she was about to step in, Eileen felt her phone vibrating in her pocket. She paused, glanced at the two who had already entered the shop, and pursed her lips without saying a
