Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 199 Do We Look Like Siblings?

With Jasper’s instructions, no one dared to say anything about Eileen leaving. Instead of attending these banquets with Will, she would prefer to be with Jasper. Will was afraid of the Smith family and absolutely did not want to offend Jasper.

With that, Eileen set off for Seatown at ten in the morning and arrived around half past eleven, just in time for lunch.

The driver dropped her off in front of a high-end restaurant.

“Ms. Eileen. I’ll be leaving first. Mr. Jasper will escort you home later.”

“Alright, thank you for your help.”

“Not a problem, Ms. Eileen.”

Seeing the familiar car, Fabian stepped forward and opened the passenger door. Eileen, carrying her chain purse, got out of the car and pulled her jacket tightly around herself.

Fabian informed her, “Mr. Smith is waiting for you inside. I’ll leave the two of you alone.”

Before entering, Eileen asked, “Have you finished your business negotiations?”

Fabian smiled. “We’re already in the final stages. It’s not a big deal if Mr. Smith isn’t there to join us.”

Eileen nodded. “Alright, thank you.”

In truth, she was also worried that her arrival might cause trouble for Jasper. She thought that if he was busy, she could spend time exploring Seatown on her own.

Walking into the restaurant, Eileen spotted Jasper sitting on the couch. His head was slightly lowered, as if he was texting someone. She approached quietly and took a seat opposite him.
