Chapter 1070
Imogen quickly shook her head and said, "No, I met Yulia."
Jasper asked, "What did she say to you?"
Imogen sighed in relief. She smiled as she said, "Nothing much, just some ambiguous words that could easily be misunderstood."
Jasper gently rubbed her fair and soft hand. He said slowly, "So, you were bothered by it but didn't tell me?"
Imogen fell silent, feeling conflicted.
Jasper was disappointed. He said, "We've only been married for a short time, but we are a real couple now.
"When you agreed to this blind date and quick marriage, wasn't it to find a good man and live a stable life? Where has your confidence in marriage gone?"
Imogen gave a bitter smile. She responded, "I wanted to find someone of similar status, but I ended up marrying into a wealthy family."
"Isn't it good that your life has improved?"
"Of course," Imogen said with a genuine smile.
Jasper looked into her eyes affectionately, though he was resigned.
Imogen didn't understand why he was looking at her like that.
Jasper sighed. He put an arm around her shoulders then pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly.
Imogen hugged him back tightly, breathing in his pleasant scent.
He held her tight, burying his face in her shoulder as he was seeking comfort from her.
Imogen didn't know why he seemed so down all of a sudden.
She placed her hands on his waist as her body pressed against his solid chest.
As time passed, Jasper didn't seem to have any intention of letting go. He held her tighter, his cheek brushing against the soft skin of her neck. Imogen felt a ticklish sensation from his warm breath on her neck but was too embarrassed to mention it, fearing it would break the mood.
As the moonlight deepened, she faintly heard Jasper's hoarse and maic voice. He murmured, "Imogen, do you have a place for me in your heart?"Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Imogen froze in place.
Jasper closed his eyes before continuing in a pleading tone, "I really love you. Can't you make a little room for me in your heart?" Imogen's body tensed as her heart raced.
At that moment, she suddenly
realized there was no reason to feel
insecure about herself. It was
Jasper who loved her first and had
tricked her into marrying him after
falling for her at first sight.
It wasn't that she wanted to marry into a wealthy family. It was Jasper who had made her marry into the family.
She didn't have to feel insecure. Her heart ached for him.
As Imogen slowly turned her head, her cheek brushed against Jasper's. She wanted to pull back to look at him, but she accidentally kissed him on the lips.
Jasper thought she wanted to kiss him, so he grew excited. He cupped her face and kissed her passionately.
His kiss was deep and tender, making Imogen weak.
After their makeout session in the pavilion, they returned to their room. As usual, they hugged each other, kissed, and also had sex.
It was only during these moments
that Jasper felt he truly had Imogen to himself. Even if he couldn't have her heart, he still had her body, so he would use it as he pleased.
Despite the emotional barriers and the lack of deep feelings, it didn't hinder their passionate intimacy as newlyweds.
After satisfying each other, they fell asleep in each other's arms.
On the weekend, Jasper decided to take Imogen to visit his family. He wanted her to meet his grandparents and uncles.
Imogen had heard from Jasper that his family was huge. His grandmother had five sons and more than a dozen grandchildren. Now, all the grandchildren were married, and some even had children.
When Imogen arrived at the Morrison Residence, she was astonished by the size of the family.
