Chapter 157 She Will Definitely Like You

“What was taken from you?

Eileen glanced at him.

Elm lightly tapped her book, and only then did Edleen react. Her face remained. expressionless as she responded indifferently. “Her grades are good. She was able to jom the Olympiad Math Class because of her hard work and dedication Besides, the Olympiad Math Class is meant for high achievers”

“Could you be any worse than Vera?”

Eileen didn’t want to discuss this topic. In reality, joining the Olympiad Math Class and securing admission to Hulbury University were just impressive additions to her academic record. Withdrawing from the Olympiad Math Class didn’t change her ultimate goal

“Aren’t you supposed to be happy for Vera since you like her?”

“Who started that rumor?”

“Isn’t it true?” Eileen narrowed her eyes.

When Vera returned from abroad and enrolled in Cloudburg Public School, rumors of a scandal between her and Elm spread throughout the entire school.

He skipped classes but was always by Vera’s side. They were inseparable.

Weren’t they kissing on the streets, in bars, and even on the balcony in that room in Peach Fishing Village?

When he found out that Vera had been bullied, how did he treat Eileen?

He pinned her against the wall, grabbing her throat.

His threatening words were clear, and he wanted nothing more than to devour her.

If all this couldn’t prove that Elm liked Vera, what could?

Eileen didn’t know what to say.

Nowadays, young people were too carefree, not taking relationships seriously.

“Of course not!”

“Okay, I understand.” Eileen lowered her head silently, continuing to work on her problems.

Ilm’s gaze darkened, and he gritted his teeth You really are a model student

Eileen laughed. “Studying is the only way for me to change my destiny”

1 Im was speechless

“Elm, you too!”

Elm retorted, “Stop nagging, just focus on your studies!”

The two of them casually ate something in the library. It closed at half past eight.

As they walked out, a wave of people also walked out. These people were all studying for the civil service entrance examination. They came to the largest library in Hulbury, where people studied diligently every day.

Some might fail, and some might succeed.

But these were all their choices.

She had her own choices too.

Just like them, she wanted to change her life.

Taking the civil service entrance examination and securing a stable job might not be the only path, but for them, it was the most successful one.

Eileen was given a second chance at life. In her previous life, she knew nothing and couldn’t do anything, living aimlessly without self-awareness.

In this life, she must live for herself for once.

She was not afraid of death.

Her only fear was that her life would be as miserable as it was in her

On the way back to the Smith residence, it suddenly started raining.

spe wan hed the torrential rain outside the car window as the raindrops pelted against the glass with a resounding patter

It was time to return to the Smith residence once agam.

She glanced at her phone.

There were no new messages.

Could he be angry? Every day, Jasper will send me three messages. One in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one at night.

Eileen hung her head low, unsure if she was overthinking or if it was due to today’s weather. Ever since she left the Smith residence this morning, she felt a suffocating sensation that just wouldn’t lift.

She was aware that it wasn’t because she didn’t receive a message that she felt lost, but because of the oppressive feeling of living under someone else’s roof.

The Swan residence might not be great, but no matter what, it was her home.

The Smith residence was different; it belonged to someone else.

This morning, Elm just wanted her to visit Old Mrs. Smith, but she ran away. He must be

angry.

She had been living at the Smith residence for days, so it was only right to pay Old Mrs. Smith a visit.

However, she just couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Whenever she encountered such situations, Eileen would always calm down and let her mind. wander.

Richard reported, “Mr. Jasper, Ms. Eileen is back

Jasper responded with a simple, “Mm.”

The Bentley came to a halt at the entrance. Jasper, dressed in a dark plaid sweater that made his shoulders look broad and his figure slender, held a black umbrella. He stepped forward to open the passenger door. Eileen took shelter under his umbrella, as the rain had lessened. considerably.

“You’re back?”

Eileen nodded. “Yes, I’m back.”

With his arm around her shoulders. Jasper led her into the foyer. He folded up the umbrella and handed it to Richard

Jasper furrowed his brow. “Why is your hair wet Go get a dry towel.”

Tm fine. It’ll dry in a bit. No sooner had Eileen finished speaking than she sneezed.

Jasper said, “Tannis, please brew some ginger tea, but don’t make it too bitter.”

Tannis replied. “Yes, Mr. Jasper”

Eileen felt overwhelmed as she had never experienced this at home.

She wasn’t someone who liked to inconvenience others.

“No need to trouble yourself. I’ll be fine with some cold medicine.”

The housekeeper quickly brought over a dry towel. Jasper placed the towel on her head and gently wiped it.

Seeing the situation, everyone around them instinctively moved away, creating space for the two to be alone.

Eileen nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, her body stiff. She dared not make any reckless movements.

He lowered his gaze, looking into her eyes. “I apologize for what happened today. I didn’t think it through.”

“No, it’s my fault. I seldom interact with people. I’m afraid that if I don’t behave well, it might upset Old Mrs. Smith.”

She had simply made up an excuse.

Jasper took a deep breath and smiled with relief. Ah, I understand now. I thought she disliked it.

“It’s alright. We have plenty of time. She’s not a mean old witch. If you meet her, she will definitely like you.”

Who would ever compare their own grandmother to a wicked witch?

Her hair was almost dry, so Jasper asked, “I learned how to make soup today. Would you like to try some?”

“Did

you

make it yourself?” Eileen sounded surprised.

“After searching through recipes for so long, it’s about time I tried making one myself.”

She wondered it all the men in the Smith family had the wonderful tradition of cooking for

themselves.

In traditional households, it was typically the women’s responsibility to cook in the kitchen.

Eileen sat down, and soon, a housekeeper brought a cup of ginger tea.

Jasper held out the bowl to her. “Try some first. It will help keep the cold away.”

Eileen took a stiff of the tea. It didn’t smell bad, so she took a sip.

“It tastes good”

After drinking most of it. Eileen finally felt warmth spreading through her body.

She then tried a bit of the soup Jasper had cooked earlier. “It tastes a bit strange.”

“Really?” Jasper took a sip. The taste was rich. It was neither too salty nor too bland, and the flavor was just right. “It must be because you just had ginger tea. Have some more and you’ll feel better.”

“Actually, it’s really delicious. I was lying to you.

The gentle amusement in Jasper’s dark eyes deepened as he reached out to ruffle her hair.

“I will accompany you to visit Old Mrs. Smith tomorrow.”

Jasper said calmly, “No need, she’s doing fine now.”

Eileen nodded. “Okay.”
