Chapter 182 Just Like A Couple

Vera played with the sunflower bouquet in her hands. “What a shame. I bought Eileen’s favorite flowers, but she’s no longer here. But I think Mr. Smith is quite nice. Eileen must be very happy with him!”

Vera noticed that Eric’s face was expressionless. However, his eyes were like a deep abyss, filled with a chilling coldness. Without saying a word, he turned and left.

After Eileen’s departure, there was silence for two weeks.

During that time, Jasper stayed by her side, helping her recover.

Resting her head on his shoulder, Eileen said, “I will go tomorrow! I also want to go walk. It has been a while since I last went out.”

“Alright. I will accompany you.”
