Imogen quickly cleared her throat and reassured Mila, "It's okay, Mom. Your urgent matters come first. We can always arrange another meeting in the future."

"Please, let me apologize to your parents personally," Mila insisted.

Feeling flustered, Imogen replied, "No, really, there's no need for apologies... I'll explain everything to them. I'm sure they'll understand."

Mila persisted, "That doesn't feel quite right."

Imogen couldn't fathom allowing someone as prominent as Mila to apologize to Gregory and Carol.

After all, it was Imogen and Jasper's oversight for not informing Gregory and Carol of the correct meeting time, resulting in a three-hour delay.

Burdened with guilt, Imogen couldn't bring herself to let Mila apologize to Gregory and Carol.

She reassured Mila firmly, "It's really not necessary."

In her rush to leave, Mila didn't insist further. "Next time, we'll make sure to visit them in person."

Imogen held back from further comment.

    Imogen just nodded without saying anything else.She felt utterly exhausted as if this was the price she had to pay for marrying into a wealthy family."What's wrong?" Jasper asked worriedly.Imogen shook her head. She replied as she forced a smile, "Nothing."With that she ended the call, leaving Jasper puzzled.She seemed fine, but he sensed she was unhappy.He could feel the pressure she was under, her inability to integrate into his family, and her reluctance to open her heart to him. It felt like there was a growing distance between them.The more he thought about it, the more it bothered him. He took out his phone and called Nolan Gibson."Hey, Jay, what's up?" Nolan asked.Jasper walked to the balcony and asked, "Was it you who came to my house to get some things today?""No, why?""Then who was it?" Jasper asked nervously.Nolan replied, "It was my sister. She knew I needed to get some stuff from your place today and insisted on doing it herself. She took the key fr

    Imogen quickly shook her head and said, "No, I met Yulia."Jasper asked, "What did she say to you?"Imogen sighed in relief. She smiled as she said, "Nothing much, just some ambiguous words that could easily be misunderstood."Jasper gently rubbed her fair and soft hand. He said slowly, "So, you were bothered by it but didn't tell me?"Imogen fell silent, feeling conflicted.Jasper was disappointed. He said, "We've only been married for a short time, but we are a real couple now. "When you agreed to this blind date and quick marriage, wasn't it to find a good man and live a stable life? Where has your confidence in marriage gone?"Imogen gave a bitter smile. She responded, "I wanted to find someone of similar status, but I ended up marrying into a wealthy family.""Isn't it good that your life has improved?""Of course," Imogen said with a genuine smile.Jasper looked into her eyes affectionately, though he was resigned.Imogen didn't understand why he was looking at her li

    To welcome Imogen, the Morrison family put great effort into organizing a party.Everyone present was dressed formally. There were food and drinks, a pianist playing at the side, and even banners in the garden to welcome her.Holding Jasper's hand, Imogen felt nervous and uneasy as he introduced her to each family member.By the end, she was so overwhelmed she could hardly remember who was who.Jasper whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, my family are all good people. They all like you."Once Imogen got to know these people, she realized that the wealthier and more powerful people were, the more refined their manners were.They weren't like the stereotypical wealthy people in movies and TV shows, which were snobbish and dismissive. They didn't look down on her background or education at all.In fact, she only heard them praising her, highlighting her strengths.Her grandparents-in-law were particularly fond of her. Even the most cherished granddaughter of the Morrison family, Ca

    By the time Elio saw Jasper walking over, he handed him the tongs. He said, "You know me, I always side with my family."Jasper sighed resignedly as he smiled. What a good uncle Elio was, daring to reject him. He took the tongs and grilled a piece of Wagyu beef."Are you hungry?" Elio asked.Jasper said quietly, "My wife is too reserved. She hasn't eaten anything, so I'm grilling some meat for her."Elio glanced at Imogen, who was at the front. He said, "She seems a bit insecure."Jasper agreed.Elio continued, "Is she the reason you've stayed single for so many years?"Jasper nodded.Elio sighed before saying, "You're a spoony guy, just like your father."Jasper mocked, "You're so carefree. Back then, you—"Elio immediately interrupted. "Stop! Let's change the subject."Jasper chuckled as he was left speechless by his aloof uncle. He had no choice but to switch topics. He asked, "When is Candice's due date?""Next month.""That's soon.""Yeah.""Are you nervous?""Of c

    Imogen always seemed out of place. After the gathering, Jasper drove Imogen home.In the car, Jasper asked with concern, "Are you tired?"Imogen closed her eyes and replied, "Yeah, a little bit.""When we get home, I'll give you a foot bath and a massage."Imogen immediately perked up. She nervously said, "It's okay. You're tired too, so you don't have to take care of me."Jasper gave a genuine smile. He said, "Alright then, you can give me a foot bath and a massage too."Imogen was taken aback.Jasper looked at her shocked expression and asked, "You don't want me to take care of you, and now you don't want to take care of me either?"Imogen mumbled, "I'm just worried you'll be too tired.""I'm not tired."Imogen sighed lightly. She resigned as she said, "Okay. You should give me a massage when we get home."Jasper smiled knowingly then replied, "Alright.""You really—" Imogen couldn't finish her sentence.Jasper chuckled before changing the subject. He said, "My family

    Imogen frowned in disappointment. She asked, "Did you marry me just to carry on the family line?"Jasper panicked and hurriedly replied, "No, that's not it.""Then why?" Imogen scoffed, "Why are you in such a hurry for me to have a child?""You know the reason.""No, I don't."Jasper said, "You make me feel insecure. Maybe if we have a child, you won't leave me."Imogen said, "If I don't love you, it won't matter if we have one child or ten. If I want to leave, I will."With that, she got out of the car and stormed toward the villa.Jasper quickly got out too and hurried after her. He then grabbed her arm and asked anxiously, "You still want a divorce, don't you?"Imogen felt exhausted. She coldly replied in an angry tone, "Jasper, you're being unreasonable."Jasper's eyes reddened as he suppressed his emotions. He said clearly, "I'm unreasonable because of you."He was humbling himself, trying everything to keep her close and keep their marriage strong."Why put the blame

    Imogen used all her strength to drag the drunken Jasper into the room.Panting, she fetched a damp towel from the bathroom to wipe his face. She murmured softly, "Why did you drink so much?"Jasper mumbled incoherently while he was in his drunken haze. As he closed his eyes to rest, he called out her name.At first, Imogen couldn't make out his words.After she was done wiping him down, she wanted to go to bed, but she heard Jasper's faint voice. He murmured, "Imogen, I love you… I really, really love you. Please don't divorce me. Please… don't leave me."Imogen leaned against his chest, feeling a deep ache in her heart.She caressed his cheek tenderly as she gazed at his handsome face in the dim light. Her heart fluttered. Even if she wanted to deny it, her racing heart gave her away.Imogen slowly leaned in and stole a kiss from him."I won't ask for a divorce, Jasper," Imogen said softly. "Give me some time to get used to it.""Imogen… Imogen…"Imogen said, "Jasper, I thin

    Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

    After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

    Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

    Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

    "If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

    Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

    Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

    Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

    In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
