Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 73 Will You Marry Me

Eric lifted Vera and settled her into the passenger seat, securing her seatbelt. The waiter handed him her bag.

“Sir, is this lady your girlfriend? I noticed she’s been drinking alone and almost got harassed. Your girlfriend is very attractive, so please make sure not to let her go out alone in the future.”

Eric took a few bills from his wallet, left them as a tip without a word, walked around the front of the car, got into the driver’s seat, and drove off quickly.

Upon arriving at Euphoria Condominium, Eric stepped out of the car. He glanced at his watch. There was still over an hour left, so he was on time.

As Eric helped Vera out of the car, she weakly collapsed into his arms. “I don’t want to go home. I want to drink more…”

“Stop fooling around, Vera. You have school tomorrow.”

Suddenly. Vera pushed Eric away with newfound strength. She staggered back a few steps and almost fell over. Eric looked at her intently and asked, “Vera, did something happen. today?”

Vera shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Eric. “Eric, should I not have come back from abroad? No… I shouldn’t have been saved in the first place. I wouldn’t be in so much pain then. Why is it that no matter where I go, nobody seems to like me? Is there something wrong with me? I feel like I’m just a burden, unable to help you with anything.

Vera sobbed, her hands covering her face as tears streamed down relentlessly.

“You don’t need to do anything, and you shouldn’t worry about what others think. All you need to do is what you believe is right. You’re still young, Vera. I will give you what she has and what she doesn’t. I won’t leave you alone anymore.”

“Oh, Eric!” Vera stepped forward, throwing herself into Eric’s arms as she continued, “I’ve realized that you’re all I have now. Promise me you won’t abandon me in the future? If you don’t want me, then I will have no family left.”

Eric held her tightly, responding. “How could I not want you, Vera? I’m just waiting for you to grow up.”

Vera looked up at him, her eyes as pure as raindrops on crystals. “Eric, will you marry me in

the future?”

“You’re still young, Vera.”

“You’re changing the subject again. You clearly like me too, so why won’t you admit it? Once I get into university next year, let’s be together, okay? Please, Eric! I’ve wanted to marry you since I was a little girl!”

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the darkness. “Hey, lady! Could you hurry up? My shift is almost. over!”
