Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 111 Your Phone Call

Not wanting to disturb them further, Sharon decided to let them study in peace.

At half-past six, Vera closed her book and put down her pen. “Eileen, did Mr. Swan pressure you? Coming from a good family like yours, you don’t have to work so hard.”

Eileen’s hands stopped moving as her train of thought was interrupted. “It has nothing to do with my father. I just set high standards for myself and always feel like I should try harder.”

Eileen didn’t want to stop. She didn’t want to be like her past self, relying on money to get a degree. She wanted to be independent and self-reliant like Sarah, not needing anyone’s help. Even if she were to leave, she could support herself.

“I understand. There’s a lot of pressure in Class One. Just make sure you don’t overwork yourself. I’m going to grab something to eat. Don’t stay up too late studying,” Vera advised.

Eileen nodded.

After Vera left, Eileen finished the rest of her homework and then joined the others.

Most of the dishes prepared by Sharon were Eileen’s favorites. Eileen preferred lighter dishes, while Vera and Eric enjoyed spicy food. There were also plates of hot wings and shakshuka.

Eileen decided to skip the spicy dishes and reached for the sweet and sour pork with her fork. As she tasted it, she found the flavor to be just as delicious as always.

The dining table was relatively quiet. Will had set a rule for Eileen to not speak while eating or before going to bed, so she rarely talked during meals.

Vera, on the other hand, was free to do as she pleased.

…

“Sharon, please sit down and join us for dinner!” Vera invited.

“No need. You guys go ahead and eat,” Sharon declined.

While enjoying her food, Eileen casually suggested, “Let’s eat together. We’re not at home, so there’s no need for so many formalities.”

Sharon smiled and said, “I’ve made chicken stew, just wait a moment…” There was an indescribable emotion in her eyes. She hadn’t been home for a few days, and Eileen seemed to be growing more and more melancholic, not smiling as much as before.

Seeing Eileen in that state saddened Sharon.

Eileen nodded.
