Nathan adjusted the coat before turning to where the voice came from. He was angry, and his gaze was cold.

He was a bit confused as he questioned Fenna, "What's with your attitude?"

Fenna seemed to realize her abruptness, so she regained her composure before walking toward Nathan.

"Nate, aren't you working overtime? I brought dinner for you," Fenna said.

Her gaze then slowly shifted to Mila. She wore an insincere smile and said, "I didn't expect Ms. Hoffis to be here too. I didn't prepare an extra portion, sorry about that."

To Mila, this was a special situation. She adhered to the principle of not causing trouble, not offending anyone, and treating everyone with kindness and courtesy.

She just wanted to safely get through each day.

Mila smiled as she replied, "It's okay, Ms. Hudson. I'll eat when I get home."

She swiftly unbuttoned the coat and took it off, not waiting for Nathan. Handing it over to him, she said, "There's no need for you to escort me."

    Mila didn't even cry. But now, her eyes welled up with tears of grievance. She bit her lower lip to endure it, looking at Nathan slightly angrily with teary eyes.Mila felt stuffy inside. She choked back tears as she asked, "How have I treated you?"Nathan chuckled with tears in his eyes. His eyes reddened as he said, "You can dislike me, but you can't push me toward other women."Mila felt a bit of pain on her shoulders as he gripped her shoulders too tightly.She slowly moved her hands away from his chest. She feebly said sarcastically, "You're together every day, do you still need me to push you?"Nathan's breathing became heavier, and his eyes filled with sadness. He was heartbroken as he said, "Wanda Hoffis, why did you come back? Why did you have to appear before me? Why do you want to torture me? Why?"His grip became tighter, causing her arms to ache.Mila was afraid as she secretly touched her belly. She looked up at him with teary eyes. She coldly said in a low voice

    Nathan remained still, standing there without moving. He clenched his fists tightly and suppressed the indescribable pain deep inside him.Seeing that Phoebe hadn't arrived yet, Mila didn't want to wait any longer."General Morrison, I'm going back first," she politely bid farewell. She pushed open the glass door and stepped out into the cold wind.Mila shivered as the cold wind hit her. Taking small steps as there was a thin layer of snow on the ground, she steadily moved forward.As Nathan watched her gradually disappearing figure, he couldn't help but chase after her.Under the dim and misty light of the street lamp, Nathan grabbed Mila's arm.Mila's heart tightened. After she stood firmly, she turned to look at him. She really wanted to shout at this man. Could he stop pulling her from behind? She and the baby couldn't stand his rough treatment.Nathan's expression turned grim. He said each word with resentment, "Why did you lie to me?"At that moment, Mila couldn't react

    Eventually, Nathan released Mila's hand. Mila felt a pang in her heart when she realized what it was like to be deeply loved by him. Regardless of his reluctance, he was willing to compromise for her sake.She clung to Phoebe's arm as they walked away side by side. When they were a short distance away, Phoebe couldn't help but look back. She saw Nathan standing in a warm yellow light under the falling snow. He stood motionless with his eyes fixed on Mila.Unable to ignore him, Phoebe whispered, "Mila, General Morrison is still there."Mila replied with a hum but didn't turn around."I feel sorry for him sometimes," Phoebe sighed."For what? Hasn't he got Fenna with him? You should feel sorry for me," Mila said with a bitter smile.Phoebe wrapped her arm tightly around Mila's and rested her head on Mila's shoulder. "You've still got me.""Yes, I've got you—Phoebe, the beauty," Mila replied with a smile."Mila, I've been researching a little online. It's normal for the baby b

    Mila was nervous and had no idea what to do, so she leaned against Phoebe. Her strange behavior made Fenna even more suspicious. Without hesitation, Fenna reached out to touch Mila's stomach. Mila panicked and ducked.Phoebe was enraged. She stepped in to protect Mila and stopped Fenna from going any further."What do you think you're doing? Are you insane?" Phoebe questioned.She pushed Fenna away, but Fenna kept trying to approach Mila. Fenna grew increasingly agitated as she demanded, "Is she pregnant or what? Just answer me!"Fenna ignored the looks of the others. All she wanted to know was the truth. She hadn't been able to get rid of her worries since Cameron had helped Mila to get Nathan drunk.Phoebe pushed Fenna away with all her might. Fenna staggered backward. Her expression turned sour as she stared at Mila's stomach while gritting her teeth.Mila was wearing a loose coat that hid her stomach well, but Fenna could tell that Mila's movements weren't as nimble as usua

    "Nate, please say something," Fenna demanded impatiently.Nathan snapped back into reality. He dropped his head and took a deep breath, trying to release the tension in his chest.Fenna's tone softened, and she sounded genuinely concerned when she added, "I promised to stop interfering in your romantic affairs, but we're not just working together. "We've been friends for more than ten years. I can't stand by while you're in trouble without helping you."Confused, Cole interjected, "Ms. Hudson, what does Wanda's pregnancy have to do with General Morrison?""Given the timing of her pregnancy, the baby is not Nate's. And yet, she's still trying to get him involved in this. She must have an ulterior motive," Fenna explained."Are you saying Ms. Hoffis plans to claim General Morrison as the father?" Cole asked in a shocked tone.Fenna leaned closer to Nathan with her hands on the table. "Come on, Nate. Say something!"With a stoic expression, Nathan rose from his seat and made his

    Nathan seemed to be warming the milk, but he was actually trying to calm himself. Mila's presence had been unsettling to him.After sitting down, Mila removed her scarf and gloves before surveying the room. She found that nothing had changed. The room remained spacious, simple, and organized. It perfectly reflected Nathan's straightforward and tidy personality.Nathan went over to Mila with the glass of milk and offered it to her.Mila looked up at him and slowly accepted it. "Thank you."Nathan felt a sudden sting of pain when he touched her cold fingertips. She wasn't warm enough even though she was bundled up.He sat across from her and watched her calmly. Mila felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She took a sip of the warm milk to ease her discomfort.The room fell silent, and there was tension in the air.Mila held the glass nervously and looked into Nathan's quiet eyes. "Everyone's been talking about it lately, even Cole knows. Why didn't you ask me about it?"Bi

    Nathan was in a daze. He slumped forward with his elbows on his knees and his hands covering his face. He took deep breaths in an attempt to calm the storm of emotions inside him.After a few moments, he lifted his head to look at Mila with reddened eyes. He asked bitterly, "Wanda Hoffis, what do you think of me? You treat me like a convenience. You reach out to me when you need me and shut me out when you don't."And now, you're telling me that you want to marry me. Do you really think I, Nathan Morrison, am only meant to marry you?"His words of lament weighed heavily on Mila's heart. She felt a deep sadness that seemed to affect even the baby in her womb. It began to kick violently."I'm sorry," Mila apologized sincerely. She stood up, put on her scarf and gloves, and added, "I didn't give it enough thought. I'm sorry to have bothered you."She stepped out the door, leaving Nathan alone on the couch. His eyes were dull and hollow, and his face was marked with sorrow. His de

    Mila woke up at 6:00 am before the sun rose. Even though she was still sleepy, she freshened up and got ready to leave. When she opened the door, she found Nathan waiting outside. He was dressed for the occasion, wearing a sharp black suit that made him look more elegant than usual."Good morning," Nathan greeted her warmly.Mila looked down at her coat and felt that she wasn't as well dressed as he was. "Shall I change my outfit, General Morrison?""It's okay," Nathan reassured her. He held her hand as they left. He didn't let go of her hand the whole way, as if he was afraid that she was going to change her mind. He held her hand on the plane and even after their landing.They arrived at City Hall, where they were given priority registration because it was a military wedding. They quickly completed the paperwork. Mila was still half asleep when they finally got the marriage certificate.The soft light of dawn enveloped them as they walked out of City Hall.

    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?"

    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
