Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 277 Did She Ask About Anything

The exam was over. Eileen stood at the school gate, holding an umbrella. The rain was pouring down, soaking her trousers and socks. In the past, he would always come to pick her up and was rarely late.

She waited for nearly ten minutes, then decided to give him a call.

The voice prompt from his phone informed her that his mobile number was not in the service area.

Eileen rubbed her arms, lowering her head to send him a message.

Several messages went unanswered. Today was supposed to be the day for their engagement photo shoot, so he really shouldn’t be late.

Did something hold him up?

Eileen wanted to contact Fabian, but then she realized she didn’t have his phone number.

As the rain continued to pour heavily, Eileen found a convenience store and took a seat by the window. She pulled out her homework from her bag.

Time ticked away gradually, and a staff member came over. “Excuse me, it’s almost eight o’clock now. We’re about to close.”

“Sorry, I lost track of time. I’m leaving right now.

Eileen quickly tidied up her things, surprised at how long she had spent working on her homework.

Outside, the sky had turned pitch black.

Apart from the students who had just finished their evening study session at Cloudburg Public School, the streets were now practically deserted.

In reality, Eileen didn’t wait too long, just an hour and a half.

He didn’t come. Eileen couldn’t quite express her feelings. If she had to describe it, perhaps there was a hint of disappointment.

It seemed that waiting like this was a common occurrence for her.

At this hour, to catch a cab, she needed to walk a distance to Central Plaza.

Suddenly, an orange cat darted out from the roadside. Soaked to the bone, it rubbed against her feet. meowing from deep within its throat.

Eileen crouched down slightly. “Are you sick? I’m sorry. I can’t take you home. It’s already very late Ill come and check on you tomorrow, all right?”

The orange cat meowed again as if it was agreeing.
