Chapter 299 Desire Eileen
Rebirth of the Wife in Despair
Eric opened the passenger door of the car, only to find that Eileen remained motionless.
âWhere are the others? Why are you the only one here?â
Eileen hesitated, reluctant to get in the car
âThe 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, donât expect an outsider to come to our aid
âWhy are you so afraid that I will harm you?â
Noticing his invasive and possessive gaze. Eileen took a step back. No matter how she thought about
it, she felt that Ericâs invitation was a trap she was being lured into.
After the engagement banquet. Eileen hadnât 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.
âStop wasting time, and get in the car!â Ericâs 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. âI can do it myselfâ
Ericâs mouth curved into an inscrutable smile, his fingers lightly lifting a strand of her hair. âDid you get
a haircut?â
With feigned calm, Eileen averted her gaze and casually responded. âYes, because itâs too long.â
In reality, she didnât 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.
âDonât cut it again,â he said, tucking her hair behind her ear.
Eileen gently moved his hand away. âEric, youâre being too controlling. Itâs my hair, after all. Letâs just
focus on drivingâ
âAlrightâ 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 werenât 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?â
âAre you suspecting me?â
Eileen stated. âEric, you donât need to beat around the bush with me. I know youâre behind this. Iâve
never understood why you wonât let him go. Father had already planned to hand over Caerulus
Corporation to you. Yet, why canât you let him be? Father values you more than me. I simply canât think
of any other reason why you would want to harm our father.â
In this life, Vera did not die.
If Veraâs 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 didnât understand.
In this life, she still didnât 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. âDonât you understand yet, Eileen? If one were to say that everything that I have
done was all for youâ¦â
Upon hearing these words, Eileen felt it was so absurd that she almost wanted to laugh. âYou donât
need to tell me all these grandiose words. Youâve never done anything for the sake of someone else.
Do you think I would believe what youâre saying, Eric? Besides⦠I donât need you to do anything for
me right now. You have Vera and also Yvette⦠Isnât that enough for you?â
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. âWhat should we do now if I want you again?â
Eileenâs 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 couldnât help but feel sad for her pitiful state.
This made him feel a bout of dry mouth. It was also Ericâs 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.
âIâm telling you. Iâve already called Jasper before coming here. If you dare lay a hand on me, he wonât
let you off.â
Eric laughed, looking at her flustered appearance. Suddenly, he found himself intrigued by something
else.
If his previous intention was to possess Eileenâs 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.
âLetâs see, then, how he intends to make me suffer.â His voice became low and husky, laced with a
sense of restraint.
Ericâs 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.
âGive me back⦠Give me back my ring.â
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.
âNo!â Eileen stood up to retrieve it, but lost her balance and fell onto Eric. âWhat gives you the right to
throw away my ring? Eric, have you lost your mind?â
Eric held her tightly, wiping the moisture from the corner of her mouth. âI will explain in the future. But
for now, letâs go home.â
âNo, I need to find the ring,â 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⦠thereâs 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.
