Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 220 They Will Not Last Long

It was 5:30 in the afternoon.

The laboratory building of Olympiad Math Class.

After Jacob finished explaining the last problem, he closed the textbook and asked, “I’ve covered everything for today. Does anyone have any questions?”

Then, he continued, “Since there are none, you guys should head home early today. Review and remember what needs to be consolidated. Get to bed early so it won’t affect your performance tomorrow. I’ll stress this one last time-don’t be late, and don’t forget to bring your exam admit card.”

After sorting out everything else, Jacob grabbed his book and dashed off.

The others were busy packing their bags when Jason came over and patted Eileen on the shoulder. “Segunda, we got out early today. Want to hang out?”

“I’m not going. I have something to do later.”

Jason responded, “Enough already. I’ve heard this excuse from you hundreds of times. Is your family too strict?”

Eileen flashed a faint smile without uttering a word.

Benjamin gave Jason a look as if the latter had just thought of something. He covered his mouth, chiding himself for his forgetfulness. How could he have forgotten?

“No worries, no worries. Then, Benny and I will be on our way.”

Eileen replied, “Okay.”

After they left, Vera approached her, her face filled with concern and a touch of worry. “Eileen, are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Eileen said, packing up her bag, her face devoid of much emotion.

Now, Jasper had taken a girl from Primas Plaza, and no one knew who she was. However… everyone knew that Jasper might have another woman out there.

Many people believed that Eileen was likely to be abandoned.

There were also other rumors going around; all sorts of things were being said.
