The Wrong Woman Chapter 166
Nathan couldn't help but think about Sally, who was always immersed in her books. For her, books weren't just filled with facts, they were like brain food.Worried about disturbing him, Suzanne said, "E-books are easy to use now, and a lot of them are free. You should get some more sleep. I won't bother you."Nathan slowly released her hand. A mix of emotions swirled within him. Even though he cared about Suzanne, memories of Sally stuck around. Unintentionally, he found himself merging the two in his interactions with Suzanne. He set aside his thoughts and closed his eyes.Suzanne got up from the bed and grabbed a book. She eased into a chair and began to read while Nathan continued to get some rest. The tranquil ambiance in the room deepened the sense of calm.Now and then, Suzanne couldn't resist stealing glances at his peaceful sleeping face. Just looking at him made her feel warm and happy. These moments were like pure bliss, and she felt truly content.Nathan stirred after

Nathan casually sat down in front of the three of them. Suddenly, the whole room turned chilly, and the air got really cold. Samuel gulped anxiously. He felt like he knew Nathan from somewhere, but couldn't quite remember where they had met.Dario asked bluntly, "What's the deal? No greetings for your in-laws? Looks like you couldn't care less about us."Nathan had checked out Suzanne's family before marrying her. He knew Suzanne wanted to keep her distance from them, and he wasn't keen on maintaining close ties either."Why are you here? Speak," Nathan said with indifference.Dario's eyes widened, and he pointed at Nathan with displeasure. "I'm your wife's father, your father-in-law. Watch your attitude!""If you have no reason to be here, it's best you leave," Nathan replied coldly. His firm attitude made it tough for Dario to take control.Dario didn't waste time and said, "Did you give the wedding gifts for marrying my daughter? Don't even think about marrying her if the gi

Betty stomped her foot and shot an exasperated look at Dario. "Are you out of your mind? Are you drunk or something? One moment you're clear-headed, and the next, you're all blurry. If you're not leaving, then we are!"Dario pointed menacingly at Betty and Samuel. "None of you are allowed to leave. With me here, what's there to be afraid of, anyway?"Nathan could feel a headache building. If the commotion continued, Suzanne would probably wake up. Having such troublesome family members was truly pathetic. Nathan took out his phone and sent a message.Meanwhile, Dario continued making a scene in the living room for a couple of minutes until Cole walked in with a few strong-looking soldiers. They were armed with rifles and advanced toward Dario with stern expressions.Dario snapped out of his agitation in an instant. His legs gave way, and he dropped to his knees, trembling. "I-I'm sorry, s-sirs, I..."Samuel was also visibly shaken. He quickly helped Dario to his feet and whispered

"Suzanne, I'm outside your gate," Betty sobbed."At my gate?" Suzanne was surprised."The Morrison residence's gate, to be precise. We discovered your secret marriage. Your dad made a scene at your house, and your husband's subordinate had to kick him out at gunpoint. "Your dad got all mad at me, even laid hands on me right there outside your gate!"Boo-hoo! My life's a mess! Samuel doesn't help me either! I've had it with both of them. I'm not counting on my husband and son anymore. "Suzanne, I'm counting on you from now on!" Betty exclaimed.Suzanne grasped Betty's message on the phone. With her limited recollections, her emotions toward her parents were already faint. After realizing she wasn't Suzanne, those feelings faded even more."Wait for me. I'm on my way out," Suzanne said before ending the call and exiting the room.As she descended the stairs, she spotted Nathan in the living room, absorbed in his phone. Upon hearing her footsteps, Nathan glanced up at her."I'm

As Suzanne approached the door, she looked back and made a little heart shape with her fingers. Her smile was so bright and sweet that it was just plain adorable.Nathan was surprised by her lovely gesture, and it made his heart fill with happiness and start beating fast. His cheeks turned red, and he shyly returned the smile.After Suzanne left, Nathan's heart sank. The roomy living room now felt empty and lifeless. Nathan found himself missing Suzanne already.Battling a tinge of loneliness, he paced a few steps before deciding to retreat to the study. Work seemed like the perfect remedy to distract himself from Suzanne's absence.…Suzanne spotted Betty at the Morrison residence entrance, her face bruised and swollen. Touched by empathy, Suzanne quickly called a cab to take Betty to the hospital.At the medical facility, Suzanne ensured that Betty underwent a comprehensive examination. When Betty realized she wouldn't have to pay for it, she readily agreed to the examination.

Betty's gaze softened as she looked at Suzanne, her smile turning affectionate. "Oh dear, you've changed so much. I never imagined my little girl would blossom into such a wonderful lady. You make me proud." Unwilling to bask in Betty's compliments, Suzanne leaned in, resting her hands on the table. "What exactly had I changed?" she asked. Betty folded her hands and leaned closer to Suzanne. "When you were young, you took after your father and weren't particularly pretty. You often talked about getting plastic surgery when you grew up. "But now, you've grown into a natural beauty. Your graceful demeanor, those youthful features, and your round face are simply enchanting." As Betty spoke, Suzanne couldn't help but touch her own cheek, as if seeking confirmation. Betty continued, "And your personality has softened. You used to be aggressive, but now you've become gentle and sweet, with a soft, mellow voice. "No wonder you've captured the leader of the military base. You

The realization of Nathan's worry about her late return without prior notice stirred a mixture of guilt and nervousness within Suzanne. Approaching Suzanne with deliberate steps, Nathan's gaze held a depth that seemed to elude comprehension. "Have you been out of town?" he inquired gently.Suzanne's heart skipped a beat as she watched him, her mind swirling with questions. "How would he possibly know? Could he have tracked me?" she pondered, though she had settled all expenses at the hospital, leaving no trace of her whereabouts. Observing her suspicious expression, Nathan's lips curled slightly as he pointed to the departing vehicle. "The cab from other cities have issues with local traffic regulations. They rarely pick up passengers in Phoenicia," he explained. Suzanne turned her head to glance at the distant vehicle, suddenly comprehending the situation. She nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes.""Do you mind sharing the reason for your trip?" "No," came Suzanne's immediate re

The kiss felt like it lasted an eternity, leaving Suzanne's lips and tongue ached from the intensity. She gasped for air as she pushed Nathan away, fearing the kiss might render her breathless. Summoning all her strength, Suzanne pressed against his chest, slowly breaking the kiss. Nathan reluctantly released her. Both of them panted as their foreheads met, their warm exhalations mingling in the heated atmosphere. His voice, deep and magnetic, resonated, "I have to return to the camp tomorrow. Come with me." Suzanne was taken aback, her heart racing with nervousness and uncertainty. Nathan had just returned, yet here he was, speaking of departure again. Nevertheless, she understood his demanding schedule, brimming with responsibilities at the military base and beyond. She knew well he couldn't be tethered to home forever. For a man like Nathan, even a single day off was a rare luxury. Florence had mentioned how Nathan had been making more frequent visits since their marriage,

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
