Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 213 Where Does Eileen Wish To Return

People from the same school didn’t pay much attention to Eileen being with Jasper at first. However, the situation has changed, and more people are now noticing her. Previously, Eileen was almost invisible at school.

She knew that Jasper cared about her and wanted her to come home early.

However, she didn’t want this special treatment, nor did she need it. She didn’t want the rules. to be changed just for her.

Eileen simply wanted to live a simple life for the rest of her semester.

As she stepped out of the campus, she saw the school gate, where cameras were constantly flashing at her. Several reporters rushed up to her, holding microphones towards her. “Ms. Eileen, when did you start dating the CEO of Smith Corporation?”

“The CEO of Smith Corporation never appears in public. When did you two meet?”

“Where were you last night? The CEO of Smith Corporation caused such a stir just to find. you!”

Eileen had never faced such a situation before. The crowd was pressing in, and questions were coming at her one after another, leaving her feeling suffocated. Vera was pushed out of the crowd, leaving only Natalie standing in front of her.

“What are you doing? Stop crowding over here. Please move aside quickly.”

A reporter responded, “Please, do tell, Ms. Eileen.”

“Exactly!”

“Ladies and gentlemen!” A powerful voice rang out, silencing the clamor. As people turned to look, they were struck by the commanding presence of the man behind them. One by one, they quieted down, making way for him to pass.

Eileen’s face turned slightly pale. She had never experienced anything like this before. Neither Jasper nor Will had often faced various journalists’ interviews.

The person who arrived was Eric. Eileen stared at him as he approached. The moment she saw him, it felt as if time had separated them. The person from her past and the man he was now-their figures overlapped. A long-forgotten past suddenly resurfaced in her mind.
