Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 248 Will You Come Back

On the coffee table sat a freshly cooked pot of butternut squash oatmeal.

There was still half a bowl left uneaten in front of Layla

Do you know why I asked you to come back? Layla got straight to the point.

Eileen pursed her thin lips into a straight line and nodded. “Yes”

Layla asked, “So, how do you feel about Jasper now? Do you still want to continue? If you’re disappointed with him, I won’t blame you. We won’t force you to stay. Your willingness to give Jasper time shows that you’ve thought things through clearly. Just based on this, I already see you as different from others. Not all women can be as rational as you. But it’s your rationality that has left Jasper feeling cold. Sometimes… a little irrationality isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In other words, he wants you to act that way. He wants to sec you get angry. At least in his eyes, if you show a bit of temper, it means you care about him.” Layla reached out and held her hand. “Tell me, have you ever liked.

Eileen nodded decisively, her gaze solemn. “When it comes to matters of the heart, I always take them. seriously. Richard has told me a bit about his situation, and I understand the importance of making the right entrance… It’s me. I’m not good enough for him”

Layla laughed and gently patted her hand, speaking with heartfelt sincerity. Actually, from the moment you entered the Smith residence, I took a liking to you at first sight. Some people are good, some are bad, but my heart is like a clear mirror. I don’t like to beat around the bush or play mind games with people. but when others do, I can see right through them. I’ll have you know that before you came to the Smith residence. I had already investigated you. I know you had a hard time with the Swan family and an ambitious brother, Coming to the Smith family is nothing more than seeking support. This point… you can’t deny that you are indeed smart. The Smith family does have influence in Hulbury, and no one dares to provoke us. My grandson has indeed done many foolish things in the past, and he’s still just as confused now. He’s been alone for so long that he’s lost himself, not knowing what he truly wants. After all, who hasn’t made mistakes in their youth? Even if he did wrong, he has paid the price. My good-for-nothing son, after the birth of Jasper, has never taken care of him. His mother spent her days drowning in alcohol, treating him with nothing but beatings and scoldings. Once, they were on the verge of divorce, and I couldn’t help but go back to mediate. Little did I know, as soon as I walked in. I would be greeted by a room full of shattered glass bottles and a pool of blood on the floor… Guess who it belonged to?”

Eileen’s heart tightened. Could this be… the childhood ordeal he went through?

Layla continued. “Back then… he was just a little boy” She gestured with her hands. “Around five or six years old, he was locked in the basement, shivering from the cold, his body covered in black and blue bruises from beatings. He was just a child! How could they be so cruel? After that… I brought Jasper to live with ine, raising him myself. My intentions were good, but I was powerless. Apart from providing for his material needs, I couldn’t give him anything else. It’s precisely because he lacked parental love from a young age that he turned out this way, quick to anger and impulsive, acting without considering the consequences. He grew up by my side, and I can tell that he treats you differently…..

Layla took a deep breath and sighed. “I’ve told you all this, indeed, in hopes that you would come back and give my grandson another chance. Go upstairs and have a good talk with him… Successful or not, this Smith residence will always welcome you…

Out of politeness, Eileen still nodded in agreement
