Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 What Had Gone Wrong?

The moon shone gently into the window as Eileen walked downstairs in her pajamas.

She rarely got out of bed in the middle of the night, but wanted a drink of water and saw that her flask was empty.

Eileen bumbled down the stairs blearily, and got a fright at the black figure on the couch.

“Ahh!” She woke up at once.

The person on the couch got to his feet, turning the light on..

The brightness made Eileen squint, making out who it was.

“Eric? What are you doing here? Why didn’t you go home?”

The living room smelt faintly of alcohol. It was coming from Eric.

Was he back from a night of networking again?

Also… what was he doing here, instead of going home to Vera?

Eileen and Eric had been married for eight years, but she had no idea this time what he was

up to.

Eric stumbled over to her, getting closer.

Eileen was right in front of a wall, and there was nowhere she could run.

Eric walked right up to her. He glanced at the girl in front of him, and her flushed chest.

It was a brief glance, but Eileen still caught the glint in his

eyes.

The way his breathing was rushed.

This was the kind of gaze that had the power to break Eileen.

She knew that Eric was not the kind of person to sleep around.

At least, not before what happened to Vera.
