Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 167 Jerk

“Why? Isn’t the place the same as always?” Elm asked, peeling an apple and preparing a fruit plate for Ruth. He cut the apple into small pieces, placed them on the plate, and handed her a few toothpicks. He then ate the remaining apple core himself.

“Regardless, Jasper is still your half-brother from the same father. It’s the New Year, you should go home and visit,” Ruth suggested.

“He has already returned to the Smith residence,” Elm responded.

Ruth’s expression became somewhat tense upon hearing that. However, she chose not to say anything further.

After divorcing his previous wife, John married Ruth just a month later. However, Ruth was nothing more than a common farmer’s daughter, a performer from a makeshift burlesque organization. She used to be the leading burlesque performer and met John, an educated youth teaching in the countryside, when she was just sixteen.

At that time. John was twenty-three, and it was almost love at first sight with Ruth.

It wasn’t until the second year of their relationship that John returned to Hulbury.

She had waited for three years. During this time, John had returned once, and they had become involved. He promised that he would definitely return to marry her in three months.

However, it turned out that John had already married another woman.

He had been married to the lady from the Friedman family for three years, and they had a child together.

That child was Jasper.

The Smith family discovered Ruth’s love affair with John, but she was of low status and ordinary. In the chaotic times they lived in, they couldn’t possibly approve of her.

In order to keep it a secret from the Friedman family, the Smith family gave Ruth a substantial amount of money, persuading her to completely abandon the idea of marrying John.

And she, too, kept a secret. That secret was the fact that she had a child with John.

Their child was three to four years older than Jasper.
