The Wrong Woman

Chapter 1054

Mila approached Jasper, her tone gentle yet tinged with puzzlement. "Didn't you say you were too busy to come back? It's so sudden. I thought you weren't coming back.

"Come over here for a moment. I want to introduce you to someone."

Jasper's emotions were tangled. He had never anticipated this scenario for their first meeting.

He had been waiting for Imogen to accept him and reciprocate his feelings before formally informing his parents and family. The current situation was complex.

Imogen herself was stunned. She had long known that Jasper's father was a general and his mother a renowned chemistry professor.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

However, she hadn't expected Jasper to be Mila's son and the dignified man to be Nathan Morrison, the defense general of Norvania.

Imogen felt her palms growing clammy as she glanced shyly at Nathan and then at Mila.

Mila gently positioned Jasper in front of Imogen, her smile warm as she introduced, "Imogen, let me introduce you. This is my son, Jasper Morrison." Imogen struggled to find words, feeling disoriented and lost.

"Jasper, this is Imogen-"

"I know her," Jasper interjected.

Mila looked surprised. "You two know each other?"

Jasper met Imogen's evasive gaze, sensing her unease and confusion.

Nathan walked over to the couch, preparing to speak, when Jasper suddenly declared, "Mom, Dad, I've gotten married."

Nathan and Mila froze at his words. They exchanged shocked glances, their excitement evident yet tempered.

Mila couldn't contain her joy, her

hand covering her mouth as she stared wide-eyed at Jasper. After a moment to compose herself, she exclaimed, "Is this true? Are you serious? Who is she? When will you bring her home?"

Nathan chimed in, "Yeah. Although your marriage is yours to decide we're a family. Sooner or later, we'll need to meet her. Bring her over when you're ready. Let's all get acquainted."

Imogen trembled with nerves, caught completely off guard by this turn of events.

Just moments ago, she had confided in Mila. Never did she imagine the professor was her future mother-in-law, and that dignified man was her father-in-law.

She wished she could disappear into the ground right then. How could such a coincidental series of events unfold?

Just as Imogen picked up her bag anxiously to bid farewell and leave, Jasper suddenly approached her. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and drew her close into his embrace.

Imogen's face drained of color with fear, her body tensing as she stared straight ahead at Mila and Nathan. The shock was evident on Mila's and Nathan's faces as well.

With solemnity, Jasper said, "Meet my wife, Imogen Kingsley."

Mila gasped in disbelief, remaining silent for several moments. The atmosphere in the living room grew heavy with silence.

Nathan, accustomed to life's

surprises found this unexpected news delightful, believing in the inexplicable nature of fate. After a brief moment of astonishment, he smiled knowingly.

Mila covered her mouth, struggling to compose herself for quite some time.

Imogen, her nerves tingling, awkwardly bowed her head in greeting. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Jasper's parents. I just found out now. I....."

She was anxious about how Nathan and Mila would react next. Given her modest background, few elders would readily accept her into their family.

She also wondered whether Mila's earlier mention of introducing her to her son had been a jest or a sincere proposal.

Mila quickly waved her hand, responding, "There's no need to apologize. It's Jasper's fault.

"He didn't tell us about your marriage, and he hasn't brought you home all this while. It's all his fault."
