Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 112 Confess To Eileen

However, he acted as if he saw nothing, sitting by the bus door with headphones on, legs crossed, engrossed in his phone, chatting with someone unknown.

Eileen recalled the words Paola had told her the other day. Even now, I still find it hard to believe that the person who risked his life to save me would be him!

It was pouring heavily at that time, with the sea waves churning violently. By the time she jumped into the sea, she had already lost consciousness. All she could see was a blurry face, and she thought it would be Eric because he still had use for her. Among everyone else, the only one who could save her, in Eileen’s mind, was him.

After all, no one would risk their own life for someone insignificant. At least, they wouldn’t.

If she were to die, Eric wouldn’t know how to explain it to Will:

The school was just four stops away. The bus started and stopped intermittently, and before long, it was filled with people. Most of them were Blake-collar workers rushing to work.

Eileen noticed an elderly woman boarding the bus. The seats were already filled, but unexpectedly, Elm stood up, offering his seat to the old woman. Who would’ve thought he would do something like that? With a wickedly innocent smile on his face, anyone who didn’t know better would truly believe he was the model student at school.

Suddenly, Elm’s gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on her. His eyebrows raised slightly as if he had caught her doing something naughty, which made Eileen feel embarrassed to look at him.

Eileen got off the bus when it arrived at the final stop.

Eileen slowed her pace. There really weren’t many who could arrive at Petalburg High School that early.

Across the street, one could hear the resonant recitation from the morning self-study session at Cloudburg Public School.

Suddenly, Eileen remembered something. The last time I left Class One, Elm came over with his books, asking me for a tutoring session. I still remember what he said after I ruthlessly rejected him. Elm was right. I was really heartless. Before, his gaze toward me was only one of indifference. Now, in addition to indifference, his gaze seems to be criticizing me and accusing me of being heartless.

When Eileen saw him enter the school gate, she quickened her pace, wanting to catch up. However, it was as if he had eyes on his back, deliberately not letting her keep up, and he walked into the classroom at an incredibly fast pace. Eileen wanted to call out to him, but a group of people swarmed around him. Eileen could only give up, deciding to find another

I remember my mom was engaged to her first husband, Jasper’s biological father, when she was just sixteen. You do know that Jasper and I have the same mother but different fathers, right? They got married when they were eighteen. Back then, there were no marriage certificates or anything like that. It was all decided verbally, and once both families agreed, they were considered married. Things are different now… When my mom was at your age, she was already married. It’s high time for you too! But given how beautiful you are, there must be plenty of people pursuing you! Why don’t you tell me if you have
