Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 85 Be Careful Not To Get Lost

School was finally out at half past five in the afternoon. Eileen’s cold had improved significantly, but she still felt dizzy and had a congested nose.

The only thing she was grateful for was that Will wouldn’t ask her about her affairs at school.

Eileen didn’t leave the school gates until around six o’clock. At the entrance, she ran into Vera

and Gavin.

Gavin said something to Vera, and she got into the car. With an impatient look in his eyes. Gavin kept glancing at his watch until he noticed Eileen.

Upon seeing her, Gavin strode over. At the same time, Eileen walked towards him as well. “What’s the matter, Mr. Walsh?”

Gavin was a loyal employee of Eric. In Eileen’s previous life, he was the one who handed her the divorce agreement.

“Alan is not around, so Mr. Snow instructed me to pick up Ms. Vera, and you as well. I seem to remember that both you and Ms. Vera are in the same class, so why did you come out so late?”

After working for Eric for so many years, Gavin had learned how to conceal his emotions. Nothing on his face would betray his true feelings. Even if he despised someone in his heart. he would always maintain a poker face.

Even for Eric, knowing his schedule, Eileen would foolishly try to please his assistants. Only now did Eileen realize how foolish she was.

Eileen had a nagging feeling that Gavin was not actually busy. Rather, Eric had intentionally sent Gavin away to divert his attention.

What exactly is Eric’s purpose in doing this?

No matter what, Eileen refused to ride in Gavin’s car.

Eileen pursed her lips and spoke softly, “Eric had instructed you to pick up Vera, not me. There’s no need to go out of your way. I can take the bus home by myself. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Mr. Walsh.”

Furrowing his brows slightly, Gavin stretched out his arms to stop Eileen in her tracks. “Ms. Eileen, Hulbury has been rather unsafe recently. If you were to encounter any danger while you were alone, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to Mr. Swan. Please, get in the car.”

His tone was assertive, leaving no room for refusal.
