The Wrong Woman

Chapter 1055

Jasper quickly added, "Yes, it's my fault."

Mila took Imogen's hand, urging, "Let's sit and chat."

Imogen still felt awkward to address them as Mom and Dad. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions.

Mila, transitioning from shock to joy and then to relief, struggled to calm her racing heart. All her previous worries had vanished.

Jasper wasn't gay, nor did he have any sexual dysfunction—he was a perfectly normal man with impeccable taste.

Whether it was Imogen's looks, values, personality, or morals, Mila was delighted with Jasper's choice.

However, one concern lingered: Imogen wanted a divorce.

Mila swallowed nervously, wiping a cold sweat from her worries for Jasper. Though he had married a wonderful woman, their marriage was unstable and could fall apart at any moment.

She understood Jasper's caution-he feared the fragility of their relationship and hadn't dared to bring Imogen home. He wanted to avoid worrying the family.

Once seated, Jasper held Imogen's hand and formally reiterated, "Dad, Mom, let me officially introduce my wife, Imogen Kingsley. She's 27, the same age as me.

"Imogen, this is my father, Nathan Morrison, and my mother, Mila Winkler."

Mila's smile grew even brighter, her joy impossible to hide. She softly said, "It's wonderful to meet you, Imogen."

Mila then nudged Nathan's leg, signaling him to speak up. Nathan had never been so humbled, having to greet a junior first. But Mila's word was law. Nathan, genuinely pleased with Imogen too, politely said, "Welcome to our family, Imogen."

Being greeted with such warmth and respect by two esteemed figures-her in-laws, Imogen felt deeply humbled. She respectfully responded in haste, "Thanks for having me here, Mom and Dad."

Imogen's words brought smiles to everyone's faces.

Jasper beamed with joy, the curve of his smile growing even wider.

Mila clasped her hands together in delight. "What an incredible coincidence!"

Imogen felt increasingly uneasy, her breathing becoming more erratic.

Sensing her discomfort, Jasper said, "Mom, Dad, I'll take Imogen home for now. We'll visit again soon."

Glancing at the time, Nathan mused, "It's still early. Why not stay a little longer?"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Noticing Imogen's tension and understanding the overwhelming impact of the situation, Mila knew the gathering couldn't be relaxed She gently held his hand, subtly signaling the oblivious Nathan. She then said to Jasper, "Alright, take Imogen home. Come over again when you have time."

Hands being held by Jasper, Imogen stood up with mixed emotions, timidly bidding farewell. She left Sudvilla in a daze and got into Jasper's car.

After seeing Jasper and Imogen off, Mila sighed deeply, linking her arm with Nathan's as they walked back into the living room.

Nathan, curious, asked, "You

seemed to like Imogen. You were so

worried about Jasper not having a

girlfriend before that you couldn't eat

or sleep well. Now that your wish has come true, why the sigh?"

Mila looked up at Nathan. "Do you know why Jasper didn't tell us about his marriage for so long?"

"Why?"

"Because Imogen wants a divorce."

Nathan stopped in his tracks, stunned. After a moment, he asked, "Is it because Jasper isn't good enough?"

Mila shook her head. "No, it's the opposite. Jasper is too good, too exceptional. Imogen feels they're from different worlds, different classes, and they're too far apart to be a good match."
