The Wrong Woman Chapter 406
Mila shook her head, letting out a soft sigh. "No, you will get your paycheck. Otherwise, you won't last an hour."Sienna was taken aback. "Is it really that serious?"Motivated by a desire to earn money and assist the esteemed anti-drug officer, Sienna eventually agreed.Mila explained to Sienna about Daniel's previous occupation, the circumstances of his injury, and his current condition.As the warm glow of the sunset painted the sky with shades of red, Mila and Sienna left the restaurant, hand in hand.Their steps faltered as they spotted Nathan on the main road.Standing before a black sedan were Nathan, Fenna, and Cole.Approaching them with a stern expression, Nathan asked, "Where's Phoebe? And where are the bodyguards you brought?"Sienna was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Nathan was suddenly upset with Mila.Mila glanced up at the sky. It seemed that Nathan's banquet had ended.Her gaze shifted from Nathan to Fenna, and a sense of unease washed over her.Ra

Fenna raised an eyebrow and glanced at Mila, taking on a self-righteous stance in defense of Nathan."What sort of couple are they? Would she even acknowledge it? What does she take Nate for? Clinging tightly to him on one hand, yet refusing to define their relationship in any way, not even as mere friends—doesn't that seem to be the situation?"Cole quickly stepped forward, pulling Fenna back and whispering, "Ms. Hudson, please don't cause trouble."Fenna brushed off Cole's hand, visibly irritated. "I pity you, Nate. Why should she be allowed to play with your feelings?"Mila remained silent as she looked at Nathan, her eyes brimming with tears as her heart weighed heavily with pain.Did Nathan truly agree with everything Fenna said? Was she really that intolerable?Feeling disheartened, Mila took Sienna's hand and turned away, her voice faltering, "Sienna, let's go.""Alright," Sienna said and followed her. Just as they were about to take a step forward, Nathan walked ahead,

The more Mila thought about it, the worse she felt. Her gaze shifted toward Fenna, who was behind Nathan. She thought that Fenna must be gloating now. She must enjoy seeing them in such an unpleasant situation. Mila felt so wronged that her eyes welled up with tears. She knew her faults and where she went wrong. But she just wanted Nathan to unconditionally support her and stand by her side instead of supporting his friend. She wanted to be this man's favorite, not just someone he simply liked.The more Mila thought about it, the worse she felt. Tears shimmered in her eyes. She pretended indifference as she said, "Yes, I'm just that fickle. You got hurt because of me, and I took care of you for days. Now that you've recovered, I've fulfilled my responsibility.""Responsibility?" Nathan murmured, his voice trembling slightly. He smiled sorrowfully as he continued, "Responsibility… You're only responsible for the injuries I suffered?"Mila bit her lower lip stoically. She lo

Was he protecting Fenna?The thought ran through her head. Mila even suspected Nathan was merely harboring a regret of unrequited love for Mila from their youth. He didn't love her that much.He wouldn't even hurt Fenna for her.Mila took a deep breath, then forcefully shook off Nathan's hand. She trembled with anger as she felt bitter, her heart clenching uncomfortably. "Don't touch me!" she shouted. Her tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She took two steps back to distance herself from Nathan.She wiped away her tears desperately, but she felt wretchedly pitiful, like a helpless creature. No one understood, and there was no one to love her.Sienna couldn't bear to watch anymore. "Let's go," she said, grabbing Mila's hand and leading her away. Mila wiped away her tears while crying. She couldn't help but look back at him.Cole followed behind her.Nathan and Fenna didn't move from their spot. Her heart was broken and completely hopeless. She felt that any deci

It was late at night, but Sudvilla was still brightly lit.In the living room, Nathan sat on the sofa. He leaned back against the sofa with one hand covering his eyes to block the light while the other rested on the back of the sofa.He took off his suit jacket and tossed it aside. He loosened his tie, and two buttons on his white shirt were also undone.He remained still. His posture was relaxed and lazy as he looked slightly worn out in his disheveled state.He was enveloped in a gloomy sense of loneliness all around him.After having had drinks at the banquet, the aftereffects of the alcohol began to take hold of him. The alcohol went straight to his head, magnifying his sadness several times over. He couldn't get Mila's tearful expression out of his mind and heart.He felt like he had gone insane. Why did he think Mila would give him a proper status under Fenna's pressure?Normal friend or boyfriend? Was he going nuts over wanting a label?He had a rule of not being in an

Mila heard someone asking her when she was semi-conscious."Who do you like?"She opened her heavy eyes, her vision blurry. As she blinked gently, she saw the looming figure in front of her. Nathan's handsome face filled her vision.She smiled bitterly but didn't say anything. She then closed her eyes again.In an instant, the man's soft and gentle voice came again. "Chubs, who do you like? Who do you love?"Mila felt a sourness in her heart. She felt even more uncomfortable as she slowly uttered, "Nate."Nathan was startled. He was stunned in place.Was she calling his name, or was she telling him the answer?Mila felt even more uncomfortable. She moved slightly in his arms as she said again, "Nate."Nathan realized that she was calling him. He asked, "Hmm?""I feel sick, and I want to throw up," Mila said as she endured the roiling in her stomach. She felt very uncomfortable enduring the nausea.Nathan quickly carried her into the bathroom and placed her by the toilet.
The Wrong Woman Chapter 412
Mila lay on the bed and slightly moved before drifting into a deep sleep."Chubs?" Nathan's fingers gently brushed her bangs aside. He tucked the disheveled strands behind her ear.Nathan frowned. "Chubs, wake up. You can't sleep like this," he said in a low and seductive voice. "You will catch a cold if you kick off the blanket at night."Mila only felt a buzzing noise in her ears. She impatiently rubbed her ears with her hand, then moved to sleep on her side. Nathan resigned and sighed. He covered her with the blanket again.He was afraid that he couldn't control his desire, so he laid out an air mattress on the floor and slept there.Nathan didn't sleep well that night. He woke up several times in the middle of the night to check if Mila had kicked off the blanket.He spent the whole night looking after her.The next morning, the sun rose beautifully. There was a refreshing breeze blowing in from the balcony. The curtains were fluttering and making the room warm.Mila woke
The Wrong Woman Chapter 413
Mila felt the atmosphere become tense. She took a deep breath as she gathered her courage and walked toward him.Upon hearing the footsteps, Nathan slowly looked up.Mila didn't greet him. She sat on the opposite sofa with a cold expression. She acted cold toward him to hide her shyness. She puffed her cheeks and avoided eye contact with him.Nathan slightly furrowed his brow. He noticed that her cheeks were flushed as she looked a bit shy and a bit angry.Nathan's gaze was affectionate as he greeted her in a gentle tone, "Still have a headache?"His voice was too light for Mila to hear clearly, but she vaguely heard him asking if she still had a headache.Mila gritted her teeth. She pretended to be calm and glared at him. She asked, "Don't you think what you did was too much?"Nathan recalled her grievance and tearful expression last night. He closed his laptop and looked at her as he felt guilty. "I'm sorry. I apologize to you. I'll make sure it won't happen again in the futur

The Wrong Woman Chapter 1088
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
The Wrong Woman Chapter 1087
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?"
The Wrong Woman Chapter 1086
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
