Chapter 123 You Were Never Like This Before

forgot. I’ll definitely bring it next time.”

Eileen got into Jasper’s car. The air conditioning inside wasn’t too cold. She still had her coat draped over her. It was a bit late when she headed back. Eileen leaned against the car seat, already asleep with her eyes closed.

Seeing this through the rearview mirror, Fabian dimmed the lights inside the car. It was so quiet that her shallow breathing could be heard clearly.

Jasper took out a blanket he had prepared and gently covered her. Eileen adjusted her posture comfortably. Feeling the movement, she slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was a bit blurry until she recognized the familiar face.

“Sorry for waking you up,” he said gently.

Eileen glanced down at the blanket on her body, shaking her head slightly in a sleepy state. “I’m fine. Have we arrived?”

“It will take a little while. Keep sleeping. I’ll wake you when we arrive.”

“Mm-hmm.” Eileen was about to go back to sleep when she suddenly felt a warm hand pulling her closer. Half of her body leaned against Jasper’s, her head resting on his shoulder.

Eileen’s heart skipped a beat.

Her mind instantly cleared.

The position was intimate, appearing to outsiders like a couple deeply in love.

Nevertheless, Eileen couldn’t bring herself to push him away and had to let him hold her. She actually didn’t like it.

She couldn’t explain why; it just felt a bit strange.

Is it because things are moving too fast? Maybe that’s it!

Eileen was a bit slow to warm up, and she felt things were progressing unusually fast.

Eric had arrived before them and should’ve gone up by now.

Eileen had arrived at Euphoria Condominium quite late, so the car was moving at a slow pace that even an adult running could easily catch up.

elow the condominium building, Eileen said, I can go up by myself as it’s already late. You should head back quickly! Remember to call me when you get home!”

Jasper responded with a light smile. “Okay”

Eileen was actually quite smart and knew what he was thinking. She had seen through his cos today Jasper didn’t push his luck further. After saying goodbye, he watched her figure disappear before leaving.

Eileen took the elevator upstairs. When she got home, Sharon was cleaning the kitchen. She stopped when she heard the sound.

“Why are you back so late?”

Feeling tired, Eileen changed into a pair of cotton slippers at the entrance. “I fell asleep and waited downstairs for a bit.”

Sharon held a cup of hot milk and handed it over with a heating pad. “I bought this today. Stick it on, it’ll keep you warm. You’re still on your period. Remember to wear more and don’t catch a cold.”

“I know.” Eileen picked up the milk and took a sip..

Sharon asked again, “Why didn’t Mr. Snow and Vera come back with you?”

“They had something to do and didn’t come with me. Sharon, you don’t need to wait for them either. You should rest soon.”

“Okay, you should remember to rest early too.”

She nodded.
