Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 197 Are They Sharing A Bed?

Eileen was pulled by him to the door just as the teacher arrived for Uprian class. “Elm, isn’t i time to come into the classroom for Uprian class?”

“Mind your own business.” Elm was also surprised by his own anger.

The Uprian teacher wanted to express her displeasure but didn’t dare to do so. Holding at book, she walked straight into the classroom.

Elm was notorious for his fiery temper, but compared to the past, it had significantly improved.

Eileen had nothing much to say. “Whatever it is, let’s talk after this. I need to go attend class

now.”

Elin held her tightly, making it impossible for Eileen to leave. With a swift move, he flung Eileen against the wall, his other hand pressing against it. Lowering his gaze to meet hers, asked, “What did you mean by what you said to that fool?”

Eileen slightly furrowed her beautiful brows. “She has a name, Elm. Please respect her.”

Elm chuckled and nodded. “Fine, Natalie!” A hint of impatience was already showing in 1

eyes.

“Why should you be the one to tutor her?”

Eileen didn’t want to waste too much time with him. The teacher had already entered the classroom, while their current status and posture could easily lead to misunderstandings.

She pushed him away, her expression cool and detached as she said, “She is my… friend.”

In the midst of their conversation, an image unconsciously surfaced in her mind. Natalie was smiling at her, following behind her, and calling her name.

want to be in a relationship, I have no objections. From now on, I’ll take Natalie to the library every day for tutoring. Whether you choose to come or not is entirely up to you. Your current academic performance is already sufficient. Even if you do come with Calliope, I won’t object, but I can only tutor you. I’m under no obligation to help her. If there’s something she doesn’t understand, it would be best if you teach her yourself. At the same time… I hope that we won’t waste each other’s time. I’ve only agreed to tutor you, to help you. get into a good university. As for the rest… you’ll have to take care of it yourself.”

Elm looked at her serious demeanor, trying to discern something from the depths of her eyes. However, he saw nothing. It was as if a dimly lit oil lamp previously was suddenly
