All Chapters of Reborn Without You: Chapter 1001 - Chapter 1008

Amelia hadn't expected Evelyn to take to Jasper so quickly.Maybe Winona had been right after all.-By the time they pulled into the apartment complex, Amelia parked the car while Jasper got out first with Evelyn in his arms.Evelyn clung to his neck and refused to get down, insisting he carry her upstairs.Jasper looked both helpless and amused, but he gave in and carried her into the building.When Amelia opened the apartment door, she set Jasper's suitcase by the entryway and smiled at him. "Make yourself comfortable. I'll get lunch started. It won't take long.""I'll help."Jasper had just set Evelyn down and was about to follow Amelia into the kitchen when Evelyn grabbed the hem of his coat."Mr. Jazz, play blocks with me. Mommy makes lunch really fast."She tugged him toward the pile of blocks in the living room, her eyes bright with hope.Jasper looked down at her sweet little face and gave a helpless laugh. Then he glanced at Amelia. "Go ahead. I'll keep Evie busy f

Jasper continued, "As for seeing each other in person, we don't need to go out of our way unless there's a reason. Too much of that will just give people something else to talk about."He and Amelia talked it through piece by piece, and the mood in the living room gradually eased. Watching Jasper plan everything so carefully, Amelia felt the tightness in her chest loosen bit by bit.With a friend as reliable as Jasper helping her, she knew the storm those rumors had caused would pass soon enough.Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Evelyn came running out with her workbook in her hands. "Look, I finished my homework! Can we play blocks now?"Jasper immediately tucked away the serious expression and smiled at her. "Of course. Let's build the biggest castle we can."Evelyn ran over happily and pulled Jasper toward the pile of blocks in the living room. Amelia watched the two of them together, warmth filling her chest.She knew the future might still bring all kinds of trouble

"I keep feeling like their goal isn't just to humiliate me," she went on.Jasper picked up the glass of water from the table and handed it to Amelia, his expression growing more serious. "You're right. They're trying to destroy your reputation in public."Something that only circulated in a small circle was exposed on purpose. That means whoever did this knows your past and knows exactly where to hit you."Your position as an engineer at the Aerospace Institute depends heavily on public trust and personal integrity. If they manage to make a moral scandal stick, it could damage your work and your future."He paused, then continued, "Have you considered that this might not be Samantha acting alone?"You hold a senior role at the Academy of Aerospace. You're young, and you're leading a core drone project. Your career is just taking off."In a field like this, if you take someone else's opportunity or get in someone's way, they may come after you."Amelia's hand stilled around the

Amelia gently laid Evelyn on the bed, tucked the blanket around her, then returned to the living room and saw a message from Jasper on her phone.[The rumors are completely under control. Get some rest.]She replied with a simple "Okay," set the phone down, and stepped out onto the balcony.Amelia drew in a deep breath. For the first time in a long while, her heart felt quiet.-After Evelyn fell asleep, Amelia sat on the living room couch with two sets of documents in her hands, one from the Academy of Aerospace and one from Nova Nine Technologies.She hadn't been at the Academy for that many years, but she had poured so much of her effort and ambition into that place.The drone project was about to enter a crucial stage. If she stayed with it, the future could open up in ways she had once dreamed about.But the moment she thought about the pace of frontline research, her heart sank.Endless overtime. Frequent business trips. Technical problems that could explode without warn
