Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Warm And Cozy

Eileen only noticed a familiar figure in the open-air square restaurant. Seated at the piano under the lights, that person was playing a melodious and soothing tune.

From a distance, she could clearly see the tattoo on the back of his hand and the one hidden under his collar. His features were gentle and warm. His tall, slender body stood straight, radiating a handsome and vibrant aura. Every movement he made exuded innate nobility.

His aura was different from that of an ordinary person. Everyone’s gaze would be drawn to him first, even in a crowd.

At that moment, a waiter approached. “You must be the guest Mr. Smith has been waiting for! We have reserved a spot for you. Please, follow me.”

Eileen held a vibrant bouquet of roses in her hands. She saw a small space enclosed by a glass cover, much like a private booth. Through the glass, the snowy scenery outside could still be enjoyed.

“Please wait. Mr. Smith will be here shortly.”

“Eileen.” A clear, deep voice came from behind. Eileen stopped in her tracks, her back to the voice. Slowly, she turned around.

Bathed in moonlight, he walked toward her, one step at a time.

The waiter tactfully made his exit.

Eileen’s heart involuntarily began to race. At that moment, she found Jasper incredibly handsome. Eileen’s heart was unknowingly stirred. He can stand and walk again….

In truth, she had guessed it long ago… During those days in the hospital, as he was undergoing treatment, Eileen knew he would recover.

Eileen was so nervous that she was at a loss, unsure why her heart was beating so fast. She had rarely felt that way before. She wondered what could be the reason. Could it be because I’m sick today?

“I… I… Thank you…” After struggling for a while, Eileen finally managed to utter those words.

Jasper extended his hand, lightly touching her forehead with his fingertips, Hist filled with affection as he said, “Go inside. Don’t catch a cold.”

She knew he was the Jasper she had saved.

eyes were

Before that, Eileen had no idea how many times she had embarrassed herself in front of him.

Eileen sat across from him, her head bowed as she fiddled with the fresh flowers in her hand. “Did you seek me out for something?” she asked.

Jasper asked, “Eileen, am 1 very scary?”

Eileen shook her head. “Yes… I don’t know what to say to you.”

When Eileen came over, she was actually prepared to tell him they shouldn’t see each other again in the future.

However, she found it hard to utter those words at that instant.

Jasper gave a light laugh. “It’s okay, Eileen. Don’t be nervous. Just treat me like before, as a friend. We’ve had many conversations in the past, haven’t we? Or could it be that you don’t enjoy meeting me this way? If I’ve caused you any discomfort, I’m truly sorry, Eileen!”

Eileen was fiddling with the petals but didn’t realize she was using too much force and accidentally plucked one off. What a pity.

“No, that’s not it.” She quickly set it aside. Eileen looked into his warm and charming eyes. “Actually, I’m very happy. That’s because no one has ever prepared these for me, and no one knew that today was my birthday. Actually, you don’t have to do all this for me. Receiving your birthday wishes alone has already made me very happy. You’ve done so much for me. I don’t know how to respond.”

Jasper said, “You don’t have to do anything. In fact, you’ve already done plenty of things. You were the one who pulled me back from the abyss of despair.

Some things couldn’t be rushed at that moment as she was still too young. Jasper tried his best not to disturb her life and decided to wait a few more years.

He wanted to watch her grow up with his own eyes.

The dishes on the table were all Eileen’s favorites. The presentation was excellent, but compared to her own cooking, the flavor lacked finesse.

Eileen’s culinary skills could already rival those of a Michelin-starred chef.

Aside from meals made by Sharon, she only enjoyed the food she cooked herself. Eileen was rather particular in that respect.

The two of them focused on eating their meal. Eileen was filled with suppressed emotions, her inner struggle leaving her unable to speak.

Jasper also noticed her distraction, but he didn’t ask further.

After dinner, the two of them strolled down the street. As they watched couples playfully

passing by, the silence between them was strangely abnormal.

She blurted out, “What happened to your leg?”

Jasper narrowed his eyes, an indiscernible emotion flashing in their depths. “Because of a car accident.”

His response was very concise.

Eileen nodded, earnestly advising, “Then remember to be careful when you drive in the future.”

Jasper’s voice was deep as he uttered a single word, “Okay.”

Eileen’s motherly habit of showing concern for others kicked in again. “You’ve been walking. with me for so long. Aren’t your legs tired? Why don’t we find a place to sit down? If you’re uncomfortable, you must tell me right away.”

Jasper’s lips curled up slightly. “All right.”

Eileen bit her lip. “Jasper, how can you agree to everything?”

Eileen dared not look at his face anymore. She turned her body, pointed to a certain place, and said stiffly, “I want to eat that.

As Christmas was approaching, there was a candied apple stall in front of which a person was dressed up as Santa Claus. Eileen rarely indulged in such treats before.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat.” Jasper naturally took her hand like this. His hand was very soft and comfortably warm.

He didn’t notice the surprise in Eileen’s eyes behind him. She was looking at the hand he had taken, her heartbeat irregular, her face flushing.

Having lived two lifetimes, Eileen was not oblivious to Jasper’s affection for her.

She didn’t point it out, nor did she reject it. She fathomed it was not appropriate to continue in that ambiguous relationship with him.

There were numerous obstacles standing between them, including Eric and Will. However, the most significant obstacle was Eileen herself. In her past, she had been deeply wounded, causing her to refrain from engaging in romantic relationships and to be unwilling to entrust her heart to another person.

She believed that Jasper’s feelings for her were merely a passing fancy. As they spent more time together, those feelings gradually faded, similar to her previous experiences.

Furthermore, Jasper was a naturally gifted individual, proud and superior, far beyond her reach.

She pondered, “His journey is still long, and he will encounter girls who are more beautiful. than me. Eventually, I will age, and many young girls will be drawn to him in the future. I cannot take a risk on this relationship.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Even if Eric had not expressed those words to her, Eileen would still maintain her distance. due to her own feelings of inferiority, fear, and timidity. “When I become unable to conceive, there will be no future for us. The mindset of this era does not compare to that of the future.”

To ensure her survival, Eileen had already made up her mind. She was preparing for a hysterectomy.

A woman without a womb, unable to bear children, would have no hope of finding happiness.

She lacked the courage to cross that threshold and be with him.

Eileen’s plans would never change for anyone again.

In her plans, there was always only space for herself, never for anyone else. “Even Jasper is not an exception. If he wants to hold my hand, so be it. I will forever cherish this beautiful memory of today. We may not see each other again in the future.”

By half past nine, the night had grown dark and somber.

Eileen paused by the fountain in the square. “It’s getting late. I should head back. I have class.

tomorrow.”

The journey back to Undella Mansion by car would take at least forty minutes. If there was heavy traffic, it might even take over an hour.

Jasper said, “Just wait a little longer…”
