Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 299 Desire Eileen 

Eric opened the passenger door of the car, only to find that Eileen remained motionless.

“Where are the others? Why are you the only one here?”

Eileen hesitated, reluctant to get in the car Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“The matters of the household are not to be taken lightly Father is seriously ill, and we cannot let even a hint of this leak out. Also, don’t expect an outsider to come to our aid

“Why are you so afraid that I will harm you?”

Noticing his invasive and possessive gaze. Eileen took a step back. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Eric’s invitation was a trap she was being lured into.

After the engagement banquet. Eileen hadn’t seen Eric again. He had been relieved of his position, yet his face still bore an expression of calm and tranquility as if nothing had happened.

“Stop wasting time, and get in the car!” Eric’s attitude changed rapidly, his narrowed eyes radiating a warning.

Eileen was cautious and alert around him, but in the end, she still got in the car.

Eric inched closer to her, and Eileen knew what he intended. She quickly buckled her seatbelt first, saying. “I can do it myself”

Eric’s mouth curved into an inscrutable smile, his fingers lightly lifting a strand of her hair. “Did you get a haircut?”

With feigned calm, Eileen averted her gaze and casually responded. “Yes, because it’s too long.”

In reality, she didn’t cut much off, just the split ends caused by the weather. Who knew that Eric would pay such close attention?

The more he behaved this way, the more Eileen felt a numbness in her heart.

“Don’t cut it again,” he said, tucking her hair behind her ear.

Eileen gently moved his hand away. “Eric, you’re being too controlling. It’s my hair, after all. Let’s just focus on driving”

“Alright” Eric laughed, his gaze casually drifting over her fair, delicate hand adorned with a simple silver ring. His eyes held a hidden tumult, like the vast sea stirring up colossal waves.

He suppressed his emotions and quickly drove away from the airport.

There weren’t many people traveling by plane at night. Eileen was still not accustomed to the time difference in Hulbury. She was still very alert and fully awake throughout the journey. Watching the trees rapidly receding, Eileen suddenly spoke. Father has always been health-conscious, abstaining from smoking and drinking. How did he fall ill?”

“Are you suspecting me?”

Eileen stated. ‘Eric, you don’t need to beat around the bush with me. I know you’re behind this. I’ve never understood why you won’t let him go. Father had already planned to hand over Caerulus Corporation to you. Yet, why can’t you let him be? Father values you more than me. I simply can’t think of any other reason why you would want to harm our father.”

In this life, Vera did not die.

If Vera’s death in the previous life was the reason for Eric to take action against the Swan family, then what about this time?

Vera was perfectly fine. Eileen had changed Jasper and also altered the fate of Vera. Logically speaking, Eric had no reason to take action.

In her previous life, she didn’t understand.

In this life, she still didn’t understand why Eric chose to act this way.

Eric drove the car closer to a fork in the road. This place was devoid of surveillance cameras and was perfectly concealed in the shadows. Even vehicles passing by with their high beams on would not easily spot it.

He stopped the car. “Don’t you understand yet, Eileen? If one were to say that everything that I have done was all for you…”

Upon hearing these words, Eileen felt it was so absurd that she almost wanted to laugh. “You don’t need to tell me all these grandiose words. You’ve never done anything for the sake of someone else. Do you think I would believe what you’re saying, Eric? Besides… I don’t need you to do anything for me right now. You have Vera and also Yvette… Isn’t that enough for you?”

Perhaps he might even meet Sarah again soon.

When the time comes, will he still express these words to me?

He always likes to treat me as an innocent child, using sweet words to deceive me.

Eric looked at her leisurely. “What should we do now if I want you again?”

Eileen’s eyes widened in an instant as she looked at him in disbelief.

Suddenly, he reached out, pulling her toward him. The seatbelt that had somehow been unbuckled was now held by Eric, who also had one hand around her waist. His eyes seemed to hold a burning flame.

Seeing her startled and covering herself, he was reminded of the first time in the hotel when he had taken her and made her cry. He couldn’t help but feel sad for her pitiful state.

This made him feel a bout of dry mouth. It was also Eric’s first time.

Unexpectedly, once the line was crossed and the taste of intimate union between man and woman was experienced, the sensation was so deeply satisfying that it penetrated to the core.

The urge to have her grew more and more intense.

The allure of playing with women lay in power and status. No wonder so many people yearned for a place in Hulbury.

“I’m telling you. I’ve already called Jasper before coming here. If you dare lay a hand on me, he won’t let you off.”

Eric laughed, looking at her flustered appearance. Suddenly, he found himself intrigued by something else.

If his previous intention was to possess Eileen’s body, then… he was willing to spend more time to capture her heart.

He desired her and wished he could savor her essence anytime, anywhere.

Rather than repeatedly resorting to force, he preferred the girl before him to be as she once was, willingly giving her heart to him.

“Let’s see, then, how he intends to make me suffer.” His voice became low and husky, laced with a sense of restraint.

Eric’s hand slid through her long hair, gripping the back of her head, his warm lips capturing hers in a kiss. Eileen struggled in vain until she felt the ring on her hand slip off. Suddenly, Eileen found an unknown strength and forcefully pushed him away.

“Give me back… Give me back my ring.”

Eileen was panting heavily; her clothes and hair were in disarray as if she had been through a rough ordeal.

Eric lowered the window, pursed his lips, and threw the ring out of the window.

A sharp metallic sound reverberated as the ring hit the ground.

“No!” Eileen stood up to retrieve it, but lost her balance and fell onto Eric. “What gives you the right to throw away my ring? Eric, have you lost your mind?”

Eric held her tightly, wiping the moisture from the corner of her mouth. “I will explain in the future. But for now, let’s go home.”

“No, I need to find the ring,” Eileen said, flustered as she tried to get up.

This is my engagement ring. If I lose it like this, how am I going to explain it to Jasper?

Moreover… there’s only one of these in the entire Hulbury.

Following that, Eric reversed the car, and Eileen fiercely clung to his chest as they sped off onto the highway again.

No matter how she pounded on the car window, Eric resolutely drove away.
