Cole let out a sigh and said, "If there's anything that bothers you in the future or anything you dislike, just tell me directly. And if there's something you like or want, please inform me as well."

Phoebe paused, feeling a bit nervous as she swallowed her apple. Her heart started to beat a little faster as she stammered, "Wh-why should I do that?"

Cole explained in a sincere and gentle tone, "Men's thoughts are typically straightforward, and we can't always grasp all the nuances of women's feelings.

"Those who attempt to decipher every detail of a woman's mind may appear to be love experts, but more often than not, they're simply players."

Phoebe blushed, a blend of nerves and curiosity bubbling within her. "Why should I share what I want with you?"

"Because if you do, I can fulfill your wishes," Cole explained anxiously.

Phoebe's nervousness intensified, prompting her to ask once more, "But why do you want to do that for me?"

Cole hesitated, his gaze intensifying as he strug

    Upon seeing Phoebe's reaction, Cole was puzzled. "What's wrong?"Phoebe huffed again, expressing her displeasure. "Don't mention that woman in front of me. She's nothing but bad luck, and she makes me sick."Cole approached Phoebe, his tone serious. "Do you hate Fenna?"Given Fenna's attempts to sabotage Mila's marriage and steal Nathan, it was only natural for Phoebe to harbor such intense hatred toward Fenna.Phoebe nodded firmly. "Yes, I hate her. I really hate her."With a hint of nervousness, Cole added, "I can't stand her either, Phoebe."A slight smile played on Phoebe's lips in response.Observing Phoebe's childish reaction and Cole's wavering stance, Nathan couldn't help but wonder if Cole genuinely detested Fenna or if he was simply trying to gain Phoebe's favor.Cole's reassurances eased some of Phoebe's tension. She turned to Nathan, her expression filled with confusion. "Mr. Morrison, who do you think is trying to kill Mila?"In response, Nathan posed a counter qu

    At noon, while tending to Mila, the nurse remarked, "Your husband hasn't taken a break since early this morning. He's been sitting outside."Mila remained stoic, showing no reaction to the nurse's observation.As evening approached, the nurse finished helping Mila with her fourth meal and assisted her with washing up.Unable to contain her concern, the nurse mentioned, "Mrs. Morrison, Mr. Morrison is still outside, keeping watch."Nonetheless, Mila's expression remained unchanged.In the following days, whenever Nathan entered the ward to visit her, Mila would pretend to be asleep.Even if she had just woken up, she would use rest as a pretext to ask him not to disturb her.On the day of Mila's discharge, Vera and Wendy arrived, leaving Nathan with little to do.All he could manage that day was to drive and carry the luggage.The vehicle made its way slowly toward the Morrison Residence.In the empty courtyard in front of the house, Gary called for everyone from the Morrison

    Mila had returned to the Morrison Residence to recuperate.She didn't stay in the master bedroom where Nathan was currently sleeping. She stayed alone in the guest room under the pretext of needing rest.She even arranged for the maternity nurse to stay in the room with her. She did this because she wanted to keep Nathan away.She even had all her meals in the room.Apart from resting, she mostly stayed indoors reading and studying, rarely venturing out of her room.Occasionally, when she did leave her room, it was just to take a stroll in the backyard.Nathan was busy with work. Every time he tried to make time to see her, she deliberately avoided him.She didn't want to meet him, especially not with Fenna around.Out of sight, out of mind; she didn't want to add to her troubles, nor did she want to feel jealous again.Without realizing it, a month passed quietly.The temperature still felt somewhat chilly. But with spring on the verge of arriving, everything began to stir b

    Phoebe stood by Mila's side, scanning the surroundings, even though she didn't know what Mila was up to.But after years of being Mila's personal assistant, she knew she had to be on a lookout.Seeing no one around, Phoebe glanced down at the display screen Mila was busy operating.It was then that Phoebe noticed Mila had logged into her hacker account from several years ago.Mila had studied engineering and chemical manufacturing. Proficiency in computer programming was essential for chemical weapons manufacturing, so she was also excellent in computer skills.She had a hacker account, but she generally didn't invade other people's computers, let alone showcase her superb skills on the internet.That was why she wasn't even listed in the hacker rankings.After a series of operations, Mila closed the computer.Suddenly, the staff in the building's monitoring room began to panic. They opened the door and said, "Call somebody here to fix it. What happened? Why did the screen go b

    There was a loud bang.Mila closed the door and strode after Avery.Phoebe hurried to catch up and said, "Mila, what are you planning to do?"Mila gritted her teeth as she muttered, "She caused my son to be born prematurely and kept in an incubator."She caused you to be injured. She also caused my family to fall apart and my family members to be missing. What else do you think I would want from her?"Phoebe responded, "But there's no solid evidence."Mila murmured, "There's no need to have evidence. Just because she colluded with Oliver to seize my grandfather's entire fortune, I want her dead.""Mila, murder has consequences," Phoebe said nervously. She felt that Mila had lost her previous gentleness and had become tough.Mila ignored Phoebe.They followed Avery into the beauty salon.While Avery was undergoing beauty treatments, Mila and Phoebe consulted with the staff about cosmetic surgery. Their true intent was elsewhere.An hour later, Avery finished her facial treatm

    Phoebe tried putting herself in Mila's shoes and she already felt infuriated.It was not surprising that Mila felt bottled up inside."Mila, you should tell Mr. Morrison to kick Fenna out," Phoebe said with frustration."Every time I see Fenna, I feel disgusted. You must feel even worse than me."After she was done deleting the footage, Mila turned off her tablet and leaned back in her seat. She said calmly, "I don't feel uncomfortable." Because she didn't care anymore.She had expressed her dislike for Fenna to Nathan more than once. She had let him know that she didn't want Fenna around and interfere with their relationship.But Nathan didn't think Fenna could affect the relationship between him and Mila, so he didn't take it seriously.Maybe because Fenna was arranged by Donald to work with him. Maybe because of their long friendship, or maybe because Fenna was Cameron's sister.Nathan was biased and protective to some extent.On the day she was targeted for assassination,

    Nathan's breath remained heavy as he grasped Mila's arm before turning to face her. His gaze was deep and he said softly, "Wanda, can we talk?"Mila stared straight ahead. She said sarcastically with an indifferent tone, "You're swamped with work, and I won't waste your time or disturb you."So your devoted little assistant won't think that I, as a capricious and whimsical lady, am hindering you from attending to your important matters."He took a deep breath and suppressed the dull ache in his heart. He said, word by word, "We're married, do you have to treat me like this?"Mila replied, "I didn't lose my memory, so there's no need for you to remind me."The use of "you" in her response seemed respectful, but it was obvious to put a distance between them.Nathan's eyes slightly reddened when he gazed at her indifferent expression. He felt his heart was being torn apart. This painful sensation had tortured him for over a month.For the past month, they lived under the same roof.

    Mila remained indifferent, silent as ever.Nathan didn't speak further and just gazed deeply at her. His eyes filled with sorrow, feeling as though his soul had been hollowed out.As they exchanged glances, everything had changed.He couldn't discern any warmth in Mila's eyes.However, Mila's heart wasn't calm either.She was just suppressing some unnecessary emotions. She said calmly, "Is that all? I'm really busy, so I'll leave first."Mila stood up and turned to walk toward the door.Nathan rushed over to grab her arm. He asked angrily, "Why are you treating me like this?"Mila turned around to look at him. She coldly said, "I don't love you anymore. Are you satisfied with my answer?"The words "I don't love you anymore" were like sharp knives, piercing Nathan's heart. He was in so much pain that his eyes reddened instantly.His face gradually became gloomy and his eyes filled with sadness. He forced a stiff smile, and pretended to be calm as he asked, "Why did you come ba

    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
