Imogen certainly couldn't say it in this manner."I've been considering looking for a job," she said."Don't worry about it. Take your time. If you have any thoughts, feel free to discuss them with me. I have many friends who might be able to help," Jasper offered.Imogen's pride kicked in as she quickly refused, "You don't have to trouble yourself. I can handle it on my own.""I'm your husband. How could it possibly be a bother?""That's not what I meant. I'm just confident that I'll find a job soon.""I see.""And what about you?""I've also been thinking about work.""Don't dwell on it too much. Try to get some sleep," Imogen suggested, blinking as she looked at Jasper lying beside her in the dim light.Even in the darkness, his silhouette exuded a striking allure."Okay, goodnight," Jasper said."Goodnight," Imogen whispered in return.With that, Jasper closed his eyes, his breathing gradually calming.However, Imogen still found herself unable to fall asleep. As she
Imogen felt her strength draining in Jasper's comforting embrace, her body softening like a puddle. Despite her nervousness, she closed her eyes, eagerly awaiting his next move.At that moment, her heart swelled with anticipation.As moments drifted by, Jasper kept her in his arms, his body radiating warmth akin to a furnace. Finally, he whispered in her ear, "You can rest a little longer. There's no rush to get up so early."Upon hearing this, Imogen was left speechless.In a heartbeat, the comforting warmth of his embrace dissipated.Jasper stepped back, gently draping a blanket over her. Afterward, he changed into fresh clothes.Imogen couldn't resist stealing a glance at him, her heart brimming with curiosity.Jasper discarded his pajamas and slipped into a button-up shirt.As Imogen caught a glimpse of Jasper's strong back muscles, a slight warmth spread across her cheeks.Settling back onto the bed, she subconsciously gripped the blanket, her mind racing with questions.
Imogen felt unfamiliar with Ethan's current demeanor. She couldn't bear to see the man she had once loved behave so repulsively.Ethan tried to explain, "Imogen, I was drunk and confused. You've always been the one I loved. I—""Enough, Ethan," Imogen interjected sharply. "I'm married now, and Scarlett is pregnant. Please treat her and your unborn child with respect. There's no point in saying things that will only lead to more trouble."With those words, Imogen walked away from him.Suddenly, Ethan forcefully seized her arm, his face contorted with anger. "Imogen, did you marry some random guy just to get back at me?""No! Let go of me," Imogen shot back sharply.Despite her plea, Ethan persisted, pulling her closer and gripping both her arms firmly.Imogen found herself uncomfortably close to Ethan, struggling against his tight grip. "Let go," she demanded firmly.Losing his composure, Ethan growled in frustration, "You're only doing this to spite me, right? Deep down, you ca
Jasper's overwhelming presence loomed large over Ethan.Ethan couldn't help but falter in response to Jasper's imposing demeanor.Imogen picked up on Ethan's tension and anxiety. Trying to diffuse the tension, she said, "It was just a minor disagreement, nothing serious."Jasper frowned, his expression darkening further.Imogen nervously swallowed as she glanced at Ethan. "Weren't you supposed to be bringing breakfast home to Scarlett?"Ethan nodded hurriedly. "Yes, that's right. I should get going."With those words, he turned and hurried away.Jasper let out a cold scoff as he watched Ethan leave, his frustration mounting. He felt as though he was on the brink of losing his sanity.In their childhood, Imogen felt no affection for Jasper. Now, as adults, her heart belonged to someone else.Jasper couldn't understand why he kept subjecting himself to such anguish.Why did he ever have to meet her?Just then, Imogen cautiously approached Jasper, asking, "Are you angry?"Jasp
Shortly afterward, they stepped into the villa.Imogen found herself in the opulent living room, nervously scanning its lavish surroundings. She hesitated to touch anything. Each item seemed too valuable to risk damaging.In contrast, Jasper appeared at ease in this environment. He swiftly carried their luggage upstairs.Upon returning downstairs, he vanished into the kitchen. Moments later, he reappeared with a glass of water, handing it to Imogen."Thank you," Imogen murmured appreciatively as she took the glass, feeling its warmth.Sensing Imogen's unease, Jasper tried to reassure her, saying, "Feel free to make yourself comfortable here. You don't need to worry about damaging anything."Taking a sip of the warm water, Imogen nervously replied, "But this place isn't our home."Jasper smiled gently, reaching out to stroke her hair. "That's alright. Just try to relax a bit, okay?"Imogen was momentarily taken aback, standing frozen as she locked eyes with Jasper, her heart rac
Despite Zoey's ordinary appearance, her temperament was notably pleasant.Jasper scrutinized her academic credentials and job application with a penetrating gaze.Zoey appeared visibly nervous. Her cheeks flushed with a blend of shyness and apprehension, her heart fluttering with waves of emotion.The CEO's choice to personally conduct her interview—an extraordinary privilege unlike any other—filled her with an excitement she could barely contain.Before Zoey arrived, she had envisioned encountering a middle-aged man who was bald and overweight, assuming he had chosen her based on her beauty, talent, and capabilities.However, upon meeting Jasper, she was surprised to find a young, handsome, and remarkably charismatic individual."You began with great promise at Norvania Aerospace Academy, achieving top grades. It's disappointing that you graduated with the lowest scores."Your high school essay on space exploration dreams garnered attention across Norvania, creating quite a buz
At 7:00 pm, Jasper arrived home.As he entered, the aroma of food greeted him. He changed his shoes and walked into the dining room.Imogen looked gentle and charming with her apron on and her long hair tied back. Jasper found himself mesmerized."You're back? Wash up and let's eat," she said with a smile.Jasper smiled, feeling a happiness he'd never experienced with other women. It was so simple yet wonderful."Okay," Jasper replied before going to wash his hands.After washing his hands, he brought out spaghetti for both of them.Their dinner consisted of two dishes and a soup, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.Imogen noticed that Jasper often put meat on her plate, as if worried she wasn't eating enough."You should eat more instead of always giving me food," Imogen said.Jasper replied, "You're too thin."Imogen was speechless. She didn't think she was thin. In fact, she felt she was a bit chubby.Maybe men and women see things differently.She lowered her head to
"How about I wash them instead?" Imogen said because she could see that Jasper wasn't good at housework, or perhaps he had no experience at all.As she stepped into the kitchen, Jasper quickly put down what he was doing and pushed her toward the door.He said firmly, "No, I said I'll do it, so I will do it well.""Just be careful," Imogen said, a bit worried about him.Jasper replied with a gentle smile, "Alright."Imogen went to sit in the living room.Jasper washed the dishes, cleaned up, and even wiped down the stove.In the living room, Imogen was looking at her phone. Suddenly, she received a message from an old client, codenamed "Old Wolf."Old Wolf: "Imogen, there's an outsourcing project. Can you do it?"Imogen: "What kind of project?"Old Wolf sent a file labeled "Confidential". Upon opening it, she was shocked and looked at it for a long time.Imogen: "I can do it. How much are you offering?"Old Wolf: "Eight thousand."Imogen: "25 thousand."Old Wolf: "You're t
