Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 217 The Answer Is In The Heart

Eileen hesitated, her fingers hovering over her phone screen, unsure whether or not to inform him that she wouldn’t be coming home tonight.

She was exhausted and confused about their current situation.

If Jasper is still infatuated with Nancy and maintains contact with her, then why does he still want to be with me?

Did Nancy leave without saying goodbye out of sheer spite?

I’m not a pawn between them.

Eileen couldn’t bear the emotional betrayal, yet she feared that if she left the Smith residence, she would have to return to the Swan residence. What awaited her there was a predictable end; she might fall into Eric’s hands, enduring his endless insults.

She now had only two choices. One was to swallow her pride and pretend to know nothing. continue to accept the protection of the Smith family and finish studying. The other was to break up with Jasper and return to the Swan residence to continue living her days in extreme misery.

Whenever Eileen thought about these things, she already had the answers in her heart.

Her class ended at half past eight. The familiar car arrived punctually at the school gate.

Eileen took a seat in the back of the car. Already inside was a person wearing a Bluetooth headset with a laptop resting on his lap, seemingly in the middle of a meeting. Seeing this, Eileen quietly closed the door so as not to disturb him.

They were still in a cold war now. After he finished dealing with it, Eileen had already fallen asleep.

In truth, Jasper was also distracted, his mind entirely focused on her. He barely heard a word of the meeting just now, which ended hastily.

Jasper draped his ash-gray suit over her. Eileen woke up startled, just in time to lock eves with the man approaching her. No matter how you looked at him today, he exuded an aura of icy aloofness that warned others to keep their distance
