Chapter 154 See A Psychiatrist
On Jaspers desk at Smuth Corporation lay an array of photographs, capturing moments of taleen and Faic leaving Bhistorzo hand in hand There were also photos of them in a shopping mall, where Eric placed a necklace around her neck. These photographs, though not enough to cover the entire table, punted a vivid picture Additionally, they had spent a full hour inside the car, with its tinted windows preventing any camera from capturing the speciftes of their activities during that tune
time
How many projects has Caerulus Corporation recently secured? Jasper inquired
Fabian responded, “Not many, but these projects are crucial collaborations for Carrulus Corporation. The main ones have consistently been overseen by Eric, while the others are closely monitored by Gavin
“It seems like he’s quite free and relaxed with Will’s absence. Reach out to more companies and encourage collaborations with Caerulus Corporation.”
“If we do this, won’t we be paving the way for the Swan family?” Fabian questioned.
“It’s just some insignificant collaborations. This money is merely enough to keep him. occupied. A project worth hundreds of thousands is inconsequential to Smith Corporation.”
“Got it. I’ll get on it right away!”
Mr. Smith is actually delivering money to the Swan family’s doorstep for Ms. Eileen’s sake.
Four or five consecutive days pa*sed, and the upcoming day marked the start of the weekend.
Even the usually busy Jasper managed to find some time for rest amidst his hectic work. schedule.
He began his day with a jog at half-past six in the morning, while Eileen was still fast asleep.
Her biological clock woke her up around eight o’clock.
The previous night, she went to bed early because she needed to attend a golf cla*s in Primas Plaza today.
She leisurely ran her fingers through her long, slightly curled hair a few times. Holding a hair tie in her mouth, she descended the stairs to find Jasper downstairs, dressed in a Blake tracksuit. She saw him tilt his head back for a sip of water and then accept a towel from a servant to wipe away the sweat on his face.
Upon seeing her coming down from upstairs, Jasper signaled the housekeeper by his side with his eyes.

The housekeeper promptly understood and went to the kitchen, arranging all the breakfast
teps on the table
The breakfast spread consisted of various Clusian style dishes, including oatmeal, pretzels,
and more.
Eileen meticulously tied up her hair, securing it with a hairpin and elegantly coiling it at the back of her head
Good morning”
Jasper flashed her a gentle smile. “Good morning. Did you sleep well?”
Eileen nodded. “Not working today?”
She rarely saw him still around at this hour, especially dressed in sportswear, indicating that he had just returned from an outdoor run.
I haven’t had quality time with you in quite a while. I need to make time to be with you,” remarked Jasper.
Eileen’s eyes showed little emotion. She apologized, “I… I have a cla*s to attend later. It’s already scheduled, and I can’t cancel it. I’m sorry
Quinton’s cla*ses came with a hefty price tag, and Eileen couldn’t bring herself to waste. money by skipping.
Jasper felt a little disappointed. “I had hoped for some alone time with you…”
Seated at the dining table, Eileen took a pretzel. “Maybe next time. It’s been a while since I attended tutorials, and people my age are already achieving more. If I don’t work harder, I fear I’ll be left behind soon in Cla*s One.”
“Is the academic pressure at Petalburg High School really that demanding nowadays?” Jasper served her a bowl of oatmeal.
Eileen chuckled, saying, “I have to rely on my own diligence since I lack a natural talent in academics. If only I had the ability to remember everything at a glance, I wouldn’t need to work on so many workbooks.”
She then asked Jasper, “What about you? You mentioned earlier that you were also a student at Petalburg High School. Did you have good grades too?”
“Let’s leave the past in the past; there’s no need to dwell on it,” Jasper replied. Richard’s voice echoed from outside, and he stepped forward, greeting Eileen warmly, “Ms. Eileen!”
Eileen responded, “Mr. Zimmer!”

Degoriom hantly took a sip of his oatmeal, his expression remaining impa*sive He rulled up has sleeve and a segment of a blue tattoo peeked from his half-exposed arm. As he ate his porridge, the movement of tax hand revealed winding veins extrding a mysterious and Captivating aura Mc Zimmer, what brings you here?
It’s about Old Mrs Smith This gaze shutte
hesitating to continue
His gaze shifted towards Eileen as he spoke, momentarily
It sokay just say it. Jasper sand
Richard had been quite busy lately, overseeing matters at the main residence as the elderly housekeeper there had fallen ill and taken leave
Old Mrs. Smith has recently caught a cold and wants to see you. And… Ms. Eileen, as well,” conveyed Richard.
Eileen, with her head bowed, was sipping her oatmeal. At the mention of these words, her expression momentarily froze, displaying clear unease and a hint of confusion.
Old Mrs. Smith wants to see me? Did she really catch a cold, or is there something else going on?
Jasper tapped his index finger on the table, appearing deep in thought. It was unclear what was on his mind until he asked her in a gentle voice, “Do you want to go see Grandma?”
Eileen put down her spoon and immediately grabbed the hem of her clothes.
After a moment of silence, she lowered her head, stuttering as she spoke. “I… I’m sorry…”
She stood up, the spoon in her hand falling to the ground. Quickly, she picked it up. “I’ll be first.” late for my cla*s if I don’t leave now. I’ll go
Then, Eileen slung her backpack over her shoulder.
Jasper quickly rose from his seat as well. “I’ll drive you.”
“No need. The driver is at the door. I can go by myself. Thank you!”
“Eileen!”
Before Jasper could say another word, Eileen had disappeared from sight.
They rarely had the opportunity to sit down and have breakfast together, but now, due to his eagerness, he had unintentionally pressured her, causing her to flee in a moment of panic.
Jasper felt a hint of frustration and defeat.
He leaned his forehead against his hand, unsure of what to do about her.

She resembled a hedgehog, constantly on guardngamst everyone, even after being rescued trop, the Swan residence in the Smith residence she confined herself to her room,
mersing herself in reading studying, and paiting-never venturing out, never interacting
with others.
Jasper simply wanted to take her out for a walk, to expose her to different places.
However, his intention only heightened her wariness, causing her to avoid him.
Jasper took a deep breath. “You go ahead! I’ll join you shortly.”
Richard suggested, “Why don’t we take Ms. Eileen to see a therapist? If she continues to isolate herself like this, her condition will worsen sooner or later.”
Suddenly losing control of his emotions, Jasper threw the bowl in his hand onto the ground beside him. “Are you trying to make her avoid me even more? Leave me alone!”
Richard remained composed despite Jasper’s outburst. He nodded without changing his expression. “Yes, sir!”
After Richard left, the housekeeper cautiously approached to clean
up the mess.
This isn’t the first time Mr. Jasper has lost his temper. When his outbursts were worse, he had injured several housekeepers. Some were even severely beaten. Now that Mr. Jasper has returned, we are indeed afraid. But… Mr. Jasper will only control his temper around Ms. Eileen.
Now that Eileen wasn’t present, the housekeepers were even more cautious around him and dared not say a word..
The entire hall was enveloped in a suffocating silence.
Everyone carried out their tasks carefully, fearing to provoke Jasper.
Eileen chose to avoid the situation not because of the Smith family, but for her own reasons.
