Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 64 Involving Eileen

“If you want to join in, I’ll let you have a go at her first…” Zachary smirked cynically, adding, “If you don’t

mind, we can do it together. After all, we’ve been friends for so many years. It’s okay to share a

woman. All these years, I’ve never seen you touch a woman. It really makes. me wonder if you’re

incapable down there!”

In response, Eric glared at Zachary and warned, “If you say one more word, I’ll make you

mute.”

Zachary’s slender, phoenix-like eyes were slightly red, and his lips, as if stained with blood, curled up in

a very enticing manner. He burst into laughter, his shoulders shaking. “Are you angry? How interesting.

I’ve never seen you like this in all these years, Eric.”

Thinking of Eileen, Eric suddenly felt like things were slowly slipping away, eluding his grasp no matter

how hard he tried to hold on.

Somewhere deep within his heart, it felt as if there was an empty hole, and he didn’t know how to fill it.

For him, it felt like something was missing.

“After all, it has been ten years. Is there really not a shred of emotion? How about we make a bet? Let’s

bet on whether you will fall in love with Eileen. The stake is ten percent of the shares in Monarch

Entertainment Club. If you win, I will work under you in the future, and you can order me around as you

please,” Zachary suggested.

Eric picked up the suit jacket from the couch and put it on. While fiddling with the collar button with his

well-defined fingers, he asked, “Don’t you have anything better to do?”

“What’s the matter? Are you scared?” Zachary asked.

Dressed neatly, Eric cast his deep and piercing gaze upon him. “Who do you think has more worth

living, you or Eileen? If you want to mess with her, I won’t stop you. However, don’t blow our cover. If

Will finds out, who do you think will end up worse off, you or me?”

After saying those words, Eric left. Every step he took was a risky move.

Suddenly, he stopped at the door, glancing at Zachary sideways. “Drop those absurd. thoughts.

Otherwise, I won’t mind taking you to the seaside to clear your head.”

Eric was there to accompany Will to meet a few clients.

Will only decided to bring Eileen back from Peach Fishing Village after they secured a partnership with

Smith Corporation.

Therefore, all her movements and actions were known.

However, every time, Eileen would still surprise him.

After finishing her song, Elsie ascended the stairs. She saw Eric, who had been ignoring her, brush

past her and leave. With her eyes beautifully made up. Elsie glanced at his retreating figure. It’s been

three months since I saw him! Yet, he ignored me. What a heartless jerk.

Elsie quickly entered a private room, taking in the decadent scene within. A handful of men were

intimately embracing and kissing their female companions. A nauseating smell wafted over, causing a

wave of nausea to rise in her stomach.

Upon hearing the sound, many men’s gazes were fixed directly on the mature yet charming and

enchanting woman.

With a suppressed smile, Elsie walked in and sat next to Will. Almost immediately, Will wrapped his

arm around her waist. His hand ventured toward the thigh revealed by the slit in her gown.

Elsie shyly pretended to pull away, her face flushed with embarrassment. “What are you doing? So

many people are watching!”

At this moment, someone joked, “Will, you’ve got a good eye! I heard she used to be a teacher. How

did you get your hands on her?”

Even though Will was wealthy, he couldn’t shake off his uncouth, ruffian-like demeanor. In front of the

group of his unsavory friends, his true nature was revealed instantly. “It doesn’t matter how good-

looking they are. If they don’t say yes, just pin them down on the bed and nail them. They’ll behave

then.”

A joke was made, but Elsie’s face didn’t reveal any emotion. With a hooked corner of her mouth, she

suppressed the displeasure in her eyes.

Elsie leaned in and whispered something into Will’s ear.

“Eric?”

Elsie nodded. “Yes.”

Will gently caressed the delicate, smooth leg, lost in thought. “Let him be! He’s in charge of most things

at the company. It’s not a big deal if he takes some time off to relax now and then. Why have you

suddenly taken an interest in him? What’s brewing in that little head of yours?”

Will was naturally suspicious. Elsie said with a playful pout, “I’m just telling you about his presence at

Monarch Entertainment Club so that you won’t blame me for hiding it from when he mentions it in the

future! You’re always so suspicious.”

Will’s brows relaxed, and he hugged her, planting a kiss on her neck. “All right, don’t be mad… How

about we go shopping tomorrow? You can buy whatever you want.”

“Hey, what are you two whispering about over there? Is there something we’re not supposed

to hear?”

“What else is there to talk about? It’s all about those things in bed. You’re not getting any younger. Be

careful not to hurt your back in bed.”

“Hey girl, when you have some free time, buy some supplements to help this old guy out. If he can’t

keep up, come find us. We guarantee to make you feel like you’re in heaven, unable to leave the bed

the next day.”

Usually, there would be a grain of truth in every joke, and Will knew his friends well enough. to know

what they meant.

Meanwhile, the wound on Eileen’s abdomen had already scabbed over, though it would itch from time

to time.

The inability to scratch was what made Eileen most uncomfortable.

The doctor said there would be a scar, but she didn’t mind.

After she was able to get out of bed, she let Matilda go home.

At that moment, Eileen didn’t really need anyone to take care of her.

Aside from Eric’s visit, no one had visited her since.

To them, her existence was insignificant.

However, Sharon would visit her every night. Knowing that Eileen wasn’t accustomed to the food

outside, Sharon would prepare meals at home and bring them over.

Although Eileen was supposedly recovering in the hospital, she didn’t gain weight. Instead, she even

lost a few kilograms.

Upon hearing a knock on the door of the ward, Eileen, who was engrossed in reading a book. on the

balcony, shifted her attention from the pages to the entrance. Without standing up, she uttered, “Please

come in.”

The door swung open, revealing a bodyguard dressed in a sleek black suit. In his hand, he held a

delicate pink lunchbox. “Ms. Eileen, your meal is ready.”

Eileen offered a gentle smile as she rose from her chair. “Just leave it there for now. I’ll eat later.”

“Mr. Smith anticipated your response, so he instructed me to ensure that meal before leaving.”

It was an order from Jasper.

“I’m not particularly hungry. Can I set it aside for now?” Eileen inquired. I no longer have control over

my own life, and now, I don’t even want the right to decide whether or not to eat to be taken away from

me.

Deep down. Eileen remained a rebel. She was unwilling to comply with others’ instructions.

The bodyguard added, “Inside, there are roasted chestnuts personally prepared by Mr. Smith, as well

as sweet and sour pork… If they are left untouched for too long, their taste will be affected.

Did he really prepare the food himself? Eileen had never consumed a meal cooked by anyone other

than Sharon.

Even Eric had never cooked.
