He sighed and leaned back into his chair, his tone incredibly gentle as he spoke, "Did I wake you?" After a day of contemplation, Suzanne could now face him calmly. A hint of detachment flickered in her eyes as she replied, "You should get some rest. I'm fine now. You don't have to stay here with me." Nathan attempted to clarify the day's events. "I didn't see you underwater. Besides, Sally can't swim." A bitter smile tugged at Suzanne's lips. While she could accept the first explanation, the second seemed absurd. How could a wealthy heiress not know how to swim? Her tone grew sharper, more frustrated. "You don't need to explain. It's unnecessary." Noticing her anger from her cutting and unforgiving words, he replied helplessly, "Suzy, I can't leave Sally alone in that situation." It was the true test of loyalty. In moments of dire need, thoughts became muddled, and instinct dictated every action. Nathan loved Sally deeply, and Suzanne had no grounds to blame him for his

Cole and Lucas rushed to restrain Loretta, preventing her from getting closer to the pool. Sally's desperate struggles in the water were chaotic, far from the movements of a proficient swimmer. "Help me! Nate, I can't swim!" she cried. Hearing the screams, Oliver, who was on the second floor, hurried outside the balcony. Startled by the commotion, he quickly rushed to the scene. Nathan stood silently at the pool's edge, observing Sally's floundering with an unsettling calm. Despite her frantic efforts, she had yet to sink. Loretta's tearful pleas for help from the butler and Oliver echoed through the air.As Oliver rushed down, Lucas restrained him. "Nathan, have you lost your mind? Sally can't swim. You need to get her out of there!" Oliver's voice thundered with rage, the veins on his neck bulging. "Are you trying to kill her?"Equally distraught and furious, Loretta begged, "Nate, please save Sally. She's in trouble. She can't swim!" Nathan remained unmoved, his demean

Oliver seethed with rage, but his voice was stifled, unable to break free from the force that dragged him away. Sally, pretending to be weak, stumbled and leaned on Loretta. "Nate, I nearly drowned. Why would you do this to me? You knew I couldn't swim. Did you want to harm me?" Despite her claim of being unable to swim, Sally managed to stay afloat for 20 minutes. After finally getting out, she appeared remarkably composed. The most perplexing part was her complete lack of symptoms related to aquaphobia. Noticing something was unusual, Loretta tightly grasped Sally's hand, scrutinizing her with astonishment. "Sally, have you overcome your fear of water? Are you no longer afraid?" Sally hesitated for a moment before bursting into tears. "Grandma, I'm terrified. I'm shaking all over, and I'm scared to death." Nathan's expression darkened. Without a word, he turned and walked away, with Cole and Lucas trailing behind. "Nate!" Sally cried out from behind them, sobbing uncontr

Nathan searched every possible place Suzanne could be in.Shovale, her mother's house, her old rented place—there wasn't a hint of her presence. She had disappeared without a trace.It'd only been a day, but he'd grown a lot wearier. The heart-wrenching pain he felt when he first left the country ten years ago had resurfaced with even greater intensity. At noon, an uninvited guest appeared at the Morrison Residence. A female lawyer had come as Suzanne's representative to settle matters regarding the divorce. In the study, the sun outside shone bright, and the room was airy. However, the atmosphere inside was depressing and suffocating. The lawyer, Lana Scott, placed a bank card and the divorce settlement agreement in front of him. "My client has already signed her name on the agreement. This bank card is yours, Mr. Morrison. She'll pay back the money she'd spent in installments."Nathan's expression was cold as he stared grimly at the document on the table. At the moment, his

"Why won't he divorce you if he doesn't love you?"Suzanne was hungry, but the food tasted like nothing to her. "His grandmother likes me a lot," she mumbled."Oh, he's quite the model grandson."The pair continued eating their mac and cheese in silence.A while later, Sienna picked up an apple and began peeling the fruit. "I think, no matter how fiery the relationship is, people are always madly in love before they get married. After marriage, everything changes."She continued, "In a marriage, there's no love. There's only duty and companionship. It doesn't matter if he loves you or not as long as he's willing to spend on you."Suzanne smiled bitterly at her and said, "Why are you so pessimistic when you're not even married yet?"Sienna laughed. "I've seen too many unfortunate circumstances in married life to ever want to get married. Besides, it's not that bad being on my own.""I want to be like you, too," Suzanne agreed. "After I get divorced, I'll never get married ag

"Let's talk." Nathan's tone was soft, and his gaze was laced with gentleness. Suzanne lowered her head. "My lawyer already informed you clearly. There's nothing to talk about between us," she replied.His fist tightened, and his voice hardened slightly. "You promised me," he said. "You said you wouldn't threaten to divorce again."She lifted her head and looked at him before replying angrily, "You also promised me you'd cut ties with Sally Hoffis.""I haven't been in contact with her at all," he clarified firmly.Upset, she clenched her fists. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears. So, he was still so in love with her despite no longer being in contact?Nathan was all she could think about when she was on the brink of death. Yet, this man chose to save his unattainable crush, who could swim, and abandoned her.It pained her every time she recalled the memory. "Without Oliver, I'd be your dead wife by now," she choked out.Nathan grew panicked. "Without Oliver, I'd save bot

Suzanne's body stiffened. Then, she tried to push him away in frustration.However, the more she resisted, the tighter Nathan held her. He hugged her tightly and buried his face in her hair. As he took in the light scent on her body, he said with a pained voice, "Let's not get divorced, Suzy. Please?"Fighting back tears in his embrace, Suzanne still shook her head in refusal.Nathan gradually closed his moist and bloodshot eyes. He couldn't calm himself at all.First, it was Sally's departure. Now, it's Suzanne wanting a divorce. The pain was endless.He'd been stabbed and shot before, but physical pains were nothing compared to the pain he'd received in the form of heartache.He never wanted to fall in love ever again.Nathan held Suzanne tightly. He eased the discomfort in his heart and suppressed his emotions before asking, "We've been married for almost half a year. Have you ever liked me?"She liked him and even loved him, but her heart had been broken too many times in

Nathan walked out of the small apartment with a gloomy expression. A cold and chilling gush of air was felt when he walked past Cole and Gilbert. The two had never seen him with such a desolate demeanor before. They thought they'd freeze to death from walking behind him and didn't even dare to breathe audibly.They obediently followed him downstairs, and after getting in the car, they drove away. In the backseat of the car, Nathan's expression grew colder every passing minute. He leaned against the seat and shut his eyes without saying a word.The atmosphere within the car became oppressive and icy—it was suffocating. The sound of a ringing phone cut through the silence. Cole felt like his phone was a hot coal in his pocket. Hastily, he fished it out of his pocket and answered the call for fear of disturbing Nathan at the back.A while later, he hung up and turned toward Nathan hesitantly.He wanted to make a report, but he was also afraid of provoking Nathan.

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
