The Wrong Woman

Chapter 1069

Imogen just nodded without saying anything else.

She felt utterly exhausted as if this was the price she had to pay for marrying into a wealthy family.

"What's wrong?" Jasper asked worriedly.

Imogen shook her head. She replied as she forced a smile, "Nothing."

With that she ended the call, leaving Jasper puzzled.

She seemed fine, but he sensed she was unhappy.

He could feel the pressure she was under, her inability to integrate into his family, and her reluctance to open her heart to him. It felt like there was a growing distance between them.

The more he thought about it, the more it bothered him. He took out his phone and called Nolan Gibson.

"Hey, Jay, what's up?" Nolan asked.

Jasper walked to the balcony and asked, "Was it you who came to my house to get some things today?"

"No, why?"

"Then who was it?" Jasper asked nervously.

Nolan replied, "It was my sister. She knew I needed to get some stuff from your place today and insisted on doing it herself. She took the key from me."

Jasper snorted coldly as he had nothing to say.

Nolan was surprised. He asked, "What happened? Did my sister do something wrong?"

With his hands on his hips, Jasper said angrily, "I didn't meet her. My wife did."

"What? You're married? Since when?" Nolan asked as he was shocked.

"It's a long story. I'll explain some other time. I have to go now."

"Wait, what's the rush? Tell me about your marriage"

"I'll hang up now," Jasper said before ending the call immediately. His concern grew as he worried Imogen misunderstood the situation.

He searched the house but couldn't find her. He anxiously called her phone, only to hear it ringing from the cab where she'd left it. Jasper walked out to the garden, looking around.

Finally, he spotted Imogen at the pavilion. She was sitting on a bench, quietly gazing at the flowers under the lights.

With a cold breeze blowing, the garden looked ethereal in the soft glow of the lights and the gentle moonlight.

Although Imogen felt a bit chilly, she wanted to sit quietly and release her stress. Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching.

As she turned around, a jacket was draped over her shoulders. When she looked up, she saw Jasper looking at her with tenderness.

She smiled knowingly and replied, "Thanks."

"Aren't you bored sitting here alone?"

Imogen shook her head.

Jasper said, "Next time, call me to join you."

Imogen replied, "Okay."

After sitting beside her, Jasper let out a resigned sigh. He started, "Imogen, why do you keep things to yourself and make yourself suffer instead of talking to me?"

Imogen was unsure of what he was referring to. She murmured, "Jasper, I feel like I can't fit into your life. I—"

"That's because you've been having

n

preconceived ideas. You ne

degrade yourself and think

highly of me. With that mindset, how can you ever fit into my life?"

Imogen was speechless, feeling like he had hit the nail on the head. Had she been degrading herself?

Jasper explained, "Imogen, I have a

et

friend named Nolan Gibson, who is Yulia's older brother. We're pretty close. He stayed at my place for a

while due to work. He was sed

to come today to get his stuff and return the spare key." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Imogen looked at him in surprise.

Jasper smiled knowingly. He took her hand and said quietly, "I thought you met Nolan."
