Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Father Jasper prepared four dishes and a soup, enough for two people.

“Try this,” Jasper offered her a piece of barbecue rib.

Eileen took a bite and said, “It’s delicious.”

“If you like it, you can have more,” he said, acting as if it wasn’t Eileen’s first time eating his cooking After dinner, Eileen went to his study. He worked on company matters while Eileen quietly did her own work Although she didn’t attend classes, she had her own schedule. The Latest pace of the classes didn’t really benefit Eileen. She wanted to improve her academic performance to the level it was before in just two short months, which was indeed challenging.

She had a foundation in her studies, so it wasn’t too difficult. It was just a little challenging.

Jasper wore his Bluetooth headset, listening to Fabian’s report. “Mr. Smith, regarding the engagement dress style should we arrange for the designer to visit Ms. Eileen personally for selection this weekend? Also, we need to take the engagement photos.

Ive scheduled your recent work and arranged your weekend itinerary to the end. It won’t delay the progress.”

“Alright, got it. Jasper replied.

Eileen sat on the plush carpet, having completed a few test papers. After correcting them herself, she looked at the time and realized it was already half past ten.

She leaned on the tea table to stand up, then began to tidy up the books.

“Finished writing?” Jasper took off his Bluetooth headset and walked toward her.

“Yes. It’s getting late. I’ll leave the rest for tomorrow. I’m going to head to my room and get some sleep”

“Take it easy” Jasper, dressed in a dark shirt with two buttons undone at the chest, pulled her to sit on the couch. The bright beam of light in the study room subtly turned ambiguous. Eileen felt a warm breath on her neck, ungling slightly The seductive movement of his Adam’s apple as he slowly leaned in closer and closer.

The light shone, accentuating his features, making them even more profound and strikingly handsome. It seemed as if a flame was burning in his eyes, the scorching heat seemingly wanting to envelop and melt her.

Sweat formed in the palm of Eileen’s hand as she tightly gripped the hem of her skirt. At such a close distance, she could see the pores on his face. Her heart seemed ready to leap out of her chest, and she closed her eyes tightly.

At that moment, Eileen’s mind went blank, devoid of any thoughts.

Even though she had spent so much time with him, their interactions were mostly limited to holding hands and embracing each other.

Even when it came to kisses, they were just pecks.

Half a minute had passed, yet it felt like a century to Eileen.

Kisses fell thick and fast on her snow-Blake neck as a deep, magnetic male voice spoke. “May 17 Eileen’s eyes snapped open in an instant. She knew exactly what Jasper was asking for “Wait... Just wait a moment. Eileen blurted out in a state of confusion Jasper’s actions also came to a halt. “Why?”

Eileen forced herself to remain calms. “Right now, we’re just boyfriend and girlfriend. My father... He won’t allow me to do this.

Can we wait a little longer Jasper’s breathing became erratic. He suppressed the discomfort welling up within him. He rested his forehead against hers.

Alright. After waiting for so long, what’s another sixty-some days? I’m going to sleep in my room tonight.

Eileen gulped. Alright, you rest well. I’m going to sleep too. We have class tomorrow.”

“Give me a kiss, then you can go,”

Eileen quickly pecked his check Tim leaving first. Good night.”

She picked up her backpack and dashed out of the study without looking back.

Eileen rushed into the room, quickly shutting the door behind her. She leaned against it, panting heavily. As she reached up to touch her neck, she thought back to the situation she had just escaped from hy did I resist contact with Jasper? Perhaps I still can’t get over that hurdle in my heart.

Eileen put down her backpack, went to the bathroom for a shower, and then lay on the bed. After turning off the lights, she stared at the pitch-black ceiling. Her mind was a tangled mess.

“You don’t like him, Eileen? a woman spoke.

Eileen looked toward the figure sitting by the bed. “Mom? Have you come again?

“I once said I will always be by your side. If you don’t like him, you shouldn’t force yourself,”

Eileen sat up. I think I like him. It’s just a bit hard to adjust at first, I... I don’t know. What about you. Mom Do you like luun?”

“This is your choice. As long as you are happy, I will accept him.”

Tin unsure if what I’m doing is right or wrong. Do you... also loye Dad, Mom? How did you both end up together in the first place In an instant, the figure by the bed didn’t respond and vanished....

Alright, got it With a dazed nod, Eileen casually agreed, then quickly turned over and fell back asleep.

The housekeeper descended the stairs.

Jasper had been waiting for over ten minutes, but she still hadn’t come down from upstairs, Jasper glanced at his wristwatch. The photographers and designers in the hall had all arrived on time A woman in her thirties, dressed in professional attire, approached. “Has Ms. Eileen not woken up yet? Should we start preparing other things first. Mr. Smith?”

Jasper put down his legs that were resting on the tea table. “Yes. You guys go ahead and prepare Seeing Jasper heading upstairs, the photographer quickly followed.

Jasper turned the doorknob, but it was locked He raised his hand and knocked on the door, Eileen..

Eileen covered her ears. Jasper, it’s the weekend today. Let me sleep for another half hour.”

Her internal clock was set around half past eight, but it was only minutes past seven at that moment. There was no way Eileen was getting up.

“Grandma is downstairs. She wants to see you,” said Jasper.

Grandma? Upon hearing that, Eileen forced herself to wake up, instantly regaining clarity.

In the next moment, she was barefoot, stepping on the wooden floor, heading to open the door.

The moment she opened the door and saw a camera at the entrance. Eileen was so startled that she immediately closed the door. “W-What is this for?

Surprise.

Surprise? Eileen felt a shock.

“Do you want to talk to me with the door closed?

Her hair was a bit messy, but her appearance exuded charm. “Why is there a camera today? What are we shooting?

Jasper adjusted her hair for her. “Go freshen up first. You’ll find out when you come downstairs.”

“Oh, okay.”

Eileen, in a daze, headed toward the bathroom. Just then, her phone, which was placed on the bedside table, began to ring. She walked over to answer it. It was an unfamiliar mumber from Saintnam, and instantly, she had a bad feeling about it In front of Jasper, she picked up the phone, her voice tentatively calling out, “F-Father?”
