Chapter 226 Go See Her

“Even if I had died back then, I couldn’t have saved my parents’ relationship. But he receives all of Dad’s love without having to do anything.”

Eileen didn’t know what to say. Jasper stood at the top of the pyramid in Hulbury, a place unreachable by others. Yet, unknown to them, he, too, had a broken family.

They seemed to share a common sorrow in this regard – the greater their misfortune, the more they yearned for a complete family.

“Perhaps this is how the heavens work, granting you wealth and status but also taking away other things. Compared to most people, we are already very fortunate.”

Eileen was not greedy; all she desired was freedom and the right to make her own choices.

Jasper’s broad palm gently stroked her slightly curled long hair. “From now on, I only have you. Will you always be with me?”

The weight of those words pressed down on Eileen, making her slightly breathless.

In reality, there were many people around him, not just her alone.

Eileen understood that when Jasper was in his darkest times, he encountered a ray of light that shone into his world, pulling him out of the abyss of hell.

Even if Nancy had done something in the past to wrong him, these things were not easily forgotten, so she understood Jasper’s feelings.

For Jasper, Nancy was not just his past.

The bond between them was not something just anyone could replace.

When Nancy left, he found himself returning to those dark times. It was just by chance that Eileen appeared, right when he was on the verge of ending his own life.

She understood all too well and was not ignorant of the fact that their relationship was something she could not interfere with.

Now that Nancy had returned, Eileen seemed like an unintentional intruder in their world, more like an outsider.

Eileen slightly lifted the corner of her lips but didn’t say anything.
