Chapter 216 I Don’t Need You

In the midst of her thoughts, a phone call interrupted and scattered Eileen’s concentration.

The call came from an unfamiliar number, and Eileen didn’t know who it was, but she had a hunch deep down.

Eileen wiped her eyes, then looked up.

With a worried look in her eyes, Natalie said, “I noticed earlier that you seemed upset. I was concerned about you, so I came to find you.”

Eileen tugged at the corner of her mouth, forcing a faint smile. Tm fine. You can go ahead”
