Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 146 Uncertain Of Who She Is

Fabian stepped forward at that moment and said, “Mr. Smith, we’re running late.”

After putting on the necklace, he looked at the moon pendant on her chest, his lips curving into a

satisfied smile. I understand. I’ll head back to the office now. You should rest well at home. Wait for me

to come back tonight.”

Eileen replied, “Alright.”

She then watched as Jasper left.

Richard truly hoped that Eileen would stay, especially given that Jasper’s illness was cured after much

effort. The Smith family had done so much, all under the assumption that he wouldn’t live more than a

few months.

Physical ailments could be treated, but psychological wounds couldn’t be healed overnight.

Perhaps the only one who can help Mr. Jasper regain normality is Mr. Jasper himself.

Rather than that woman, he would prefer Eileen to be the one who stayed by Jasper’s side in the

future.

Richard said, “Mr. Smith has arranged a room for you. Come with me.”

Eileen followed Richard into the residential elevator, which took them to the fifth floor.

It stopped at the entrance of a room that had its door open.

“This is your room, Ms. Eileen, and Mr. Jasper’s room is next door. I was worried you might not be

accustomed to living in the Smith residence, so I’ve taken the liberty of arranging everything as it was

at the Swan residence.”

Eileen scanned the room.

Indeed they are, down to the placement of the paintings. Is this everything I have from the Swan

residence? The bed too?

“Also, if you don’t like the outfits in the walk-in closet, I can have them changed at any time.”

Eileen nodded. “Thank you for your help.”

“That’s the least I can do, Ms. Eileen. Please rest well. If you need anything, feel free to ask.

“Mm-hmm.”

With the Richard took is leave

Ideen walked into the room, looking around. It was larger than the room she stayed in at the

Swan residence

However, she was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery at that moment.

Since she left, a faint unease had settled in her heart. She wasn’t sure if she was overthinking

IT

“Did you get a good look at the person just now? Is it the same individual Mr. Jasper was talking about

earlier?”

“It doesn’t seem likely. Her face is covered in rashes. It’s unclear what illness she has. She couldn’t

possibly be the one who harmed Mr. Jasper so terribly and then abandoned him to go abroad.

But this is the first time I’ve seen Mr. Jasper bring a woman home. Previously, Mr. Jasper never brought

any other women back to the Smith residence.”

“Yeah, I wonder which prestigious family she belongs to…”

Who is that person? Is she the one Richard mentioned to me?

Initially, Jasper risked his life for her, and she, at the perfect moment, saved him in return. It seemed as

if fate had brought them together.

Eileen didn’t feel a hint of jealousy. Instead, her emotions were incredibly calm and steady.

She saved Jasper’s life, and in return, Jasper helped her break free from the clutches of the Swan

family.

From then on, they were considered even.

As night fell, lights illuminated the entire Smith residence. From the fifth floor, one could enjoy the view

from the balcony.

She was staying at someone else’s place, so it was only proper to greet the host.

However, half the day had passed, and Eileen hadn’t been disturbed by anyone. It seemed. that

Jasper’s grandparents were unaware of her arrival at their home.

She figured it was for the best, as she had always been one to avoid trouble.

When she went downstairs for dinner, the servant brought her food.

“All of these were prepared according to your preferences, as instructed by Mr. Jasper. The

dishes are lightly seasoned, and there’s also chestnut pie. Mr. Jasper, go ahead and give the in

try.”

leen looked at the table full of dishes. There was just too much, and she simply couldn’t finish it all.

“Maybe make less in the future. I can’t finish it all.”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Eileen. If you’re concerned about wasting food, these leftovers will be processed and

sent to feed the farm animals. There won’t be any waste at all.

“There’s a farm here?”

“Yes! We have quite a few pigs, cows, and sheep. The meat used in the kitchen is from our own

livestock. The vegetables, fruits, and wheat in the back garden were all planted by Old Mrs. Smith. The

meal you’re enjoying, Ms. Eileen, is a result of her efforts.”

“I see!”

“Mm-hmm.”

Hearing this, Eileen couldn’t help but feel curious. After all, Jasper’s grandparents were once influential

figures in Hulbury. Even after their retirement, they still seemed to lead such a leisurely and carefree

life.

Thus, given the opportunity, she would like to visit them.

After dinner, Eileen returned to her room.

She picked up her phone and glanced at it. The last message from Elm was from last week.

I wonder if he has been studying properly. Vera advanced to Class One through this final exam. I

wonder how his grades are?

Eileen sent a message to Elm: How did the exam go?

After waiting for a few minutes, there was no response from the other side.

Eileen simply didn’t bother waiting any longer.

The moment she put down the phone, the screen suddenly lit up. She thought it was a message from

him.

However, when she picked it up again to take a look, she saw a news report about the tragic death of a

young girl.

There was an avalanche on Mount Bright, trapping numerous skiers on the mountain.

The inextient resulted in a significant number of asualties among tourists. A total of thirty two tourists

were matred, eight tourists died, one was still missing and the police were still Continuing their search.

The person in question was Lilian, a twenty-year-old student from the performing arts department. It

anyone found any trace of her, they were to contact the police immediately.

Ishan?

Eileen found more photos as she scrolled to the bottom.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

This is the person I encountered at the ski resort last time! Eric’s girlfriend of one year. Wasn’t she

perfectly fine when I last saw her? How did she suddenly die?

The thought sent a shiver down her spine, while goosebumps broke out on her arms.

With trembling hands, Eileen set her phone down.

She didn’t dare dwell on the matter any longer.

It was ten o’clock at night when Jasper dragged his exhausted body into the living room. The

housekeeper immediately approached him. “Mr. Jasper.”

Where is Eileen?”

“Ms. Eileen has already fallen asleep after taking her medication.”

Jasper waved his hand, and the housekeeper stepped back.

Given that it was late, he decided not to disturb her.

Walking up to the bar, he retrieved a bottle of whiskey, worth tens of thousands, from the shelf and

poured himself half a glass. Now, he could only rely on alcohol to help him sleep. as he no longer used

sleeping pills.

At half past eleven, Jasper finally made his way back to his room upstairs.

He paused for a moment outside her closed door and stared at it intently.

This is perfect. Just like this, she’ll always be by my side.

That night, Eileen didn’t sleep well due to a nightmare.

She dreamt of being imprisoned, with enormous iron chains confining her in a dark room.

Even after managing to escape, an unseen beast continued to chase her.

She woke up from the drean.. drenched in sweat

Glancing out the window, she realized it was already dawn.

Her pajamas were soaked, so she took a bath after getting out of bed.

Emerging from the bathroom, she changed into fresh clothes.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Eileen, drying her hair with a towel, stepped out.

Opening the door, she was greeted by Jasper, dressed in pajamas.

The mist from the bathroom gave Eileen’s eyes a captivating charm.

“Have you forgotten that you have school today?” Jasper said with a smile, gently ruffling her hair. “This

is the school uniform they sent over. Get changed, and after breakfast, I’ll take to school.”

you

Eileen asked. “Is it too much trouble?”

“No, not at all. It’s on the way to the office.”

“Thank you.”

Actually, getting along with him is not as easy as it seems.
