Chapter 225: Can’t you handle your women?

"I handled it," he told me nonchalantly.

"What does that mean?" I pressed on.

It means you don’t have to worry unnecessarily.

My eyes narrowed at that. All for the sake of fixing our relationship?

"Good night, Jasmine. I’ll see you tomorrow," he said to me one final time.

When I returned to my bedroom later that night, I started going through some documents.

FLASHBACK

I returned to the estate after spending time with some my friends. The ones I made through Keith’s connections. They were all wives of his friends of either his business partners or

I changed out of my clothes and wore something more comfortable I felt at peace.

"Hey, mum," Tony greeted me upon entering the mansion.

"Hey Tony, how was school?" I greeted him with a big hug.

"It was fine," he told me.

I spent some time with him and helped him with his homework.

2 hours later, I was informed by a servant that Keith had arrived, and I went to the mansion entrance to greet him. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Keith," I greeted him with a smile, which he returned.

"Jasmine," he said as he came up to stand in front of me. He brought his hand to my shoulder and gently squeezed it. We weren’t lovers. Our relationship was amicable, and that was fine for me. I was more than happy. He didn’t terrify me like my violent father, and I could actually talk to him.

"Are you staying for dinner?" I asked.

"No, I’m going to clean up and have to go to an event tonight. I’ll be back later," he told me.

"Okay," I accepted.

Tony and I had dinner together and then had him put to bed early since he had school the following day.

Returning to Keith and I’s bedroom, I got ready for bed.

I was happy with my life. My days were calm. I had a sweet child and a kind husband. This was all I could ask for. I was content if I was going to live the rest of my life like this. Sometimes when Keith was free, we would spend time together. It was really more than I could have asked for.

END OF FLASHBACK

**************************

The following morning, after getting ready and having breakfast, we made our way to the Acland estate.

Upon arriving, my face was almost pressed against the window as I took in the familiar walls of the estate. The gate opened, and the car drove in.

After a short drive through the long entrance driveway, the estate mansion came into view.

It had been...years since I had been here, including my past life. To see it after so long almost feels like a fever dream. Like I had never lived here.

The car was parked by the mansion entrance, and we got out. I quickly got out before Keith could try to help me like last time. My eyes henh focused on the mansion, which was still intact despite the fire. You couldn’t see any of the damage from the entrance.

I again made sure to get out before Keith could try to help me again.

"My father is yet to arrive," Keith told me.

"We can go inside, and I can check the rooms whilst we wait," I told him.

Keith agreed, and we entered the mansion.
