Chapter 76 Why

The art exhibition concluded at three in the afternoon.

Vera glanced at the familiar car parked outside the International Exhibition Center.

She quickly opened the passenger door and got in the car. “Eric… when did you arrive? Why didn’t you call me? If you had informed me of your arrival, I would have come out earlier so you wouldn’t have had to wait so long.

Gavin had a copy of her schedule, so Eric knew she had an off-campus activity today to visit an art exhibition.

Eric had just gotten off the plane and happened to be passing by, so he came to pick her up on his way back.

Eric replied, “It’s alright.”

Vera asked. “Eric, how did your negotiation go?”

“The contract has been signed.”

“Congratulations! Eric, you’ve been working hard on this project for over a week, and now you can finally take a good rest.”

The car started moving, and a voice reminded, “Vera, fasten your seatbelt.”

Vera paused for a moment, then obediently said, “Ah, I forgot.”

She quickly fastened her seatbelt. In the past, he was always the one who helped her with it.

Observing his exhaustion, Vera sat quietly without saying a word.

Eric made a U-turn with his car, just in time to see someone crossing the road. “Isn’t that a familiar figure, Eileen?”

She bent over, tidying up the clothes and scarf of the man seated in the wheelchair. Her waist-length hair, slightly curled, fell over her shoulders. She unscrewed the cap of a mineral water bottle and helped him take a sip.

Eric’s gaze was sharp as a blade as he observed her every move. His thin, cold lips pursed, and his strong features suddenly took on a chilling air.

An unusual atmosphere descended in the car, and it was clear Eric was displeased.

Vera also noticed Eileen and said, “The school organized a trip to the art exhibition today,

and Eileen came with her friend. But his leg… It seems he has a disability.”

Eric looked at Eileen, who was standing not far away, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

For some inexplicable reason, he felt that Eileen had once treated him the same way with meticulous gentleness and consideration, just like a virtuous wife.

Thinking of that dream, Eric suddenly felt suffocated.

Eileen pushed the man in the wheelchair across the road.
