The Wrong Woman

Chapter 1052

Nathan sighed softly, his lips pursing as he lowered his head.

Though he refrained from meddling in Jasper's love life, as a father, he couldn't shake off his concern.

Noticing that dinner was ready, Mila walked over to Imogen's side after the maid's call and said warmly, "Imogen, let's have dinner."

Imogen politely replied, "Sure. Thanks, Professor Winkler."

At the dining table, Mila warmly encouraged Imogen to eat more.

Imogen observed Nathan's reserved manner in speech but noticed how tenderly he looked at Mila, his eyes filled with affection. It reminded her of young couples in the bliss of new love, their eyes sparkling with adoration.

Unable to contain her smile, Imogen remarked, "Professor Winkler, your relationship with Mr. Morrison is extremely lovely. It doesn't seem like you've been married for decades."

Mila looked puzzled. "What should being married for decades look like?"

Imogen thought of Gregory and Carol. "It's usually about contempt out of familiarity, with feelings fading over time."

Mila and Nathan exchanged a smile. Mila responded, "Ours seem faded too, and not as passionate as when we first started dating."

Quick to reassure, Imogen insisted, "No, it doesn't seem to be faded at all. I can see it."

Mila explained, "That's because he's been stationed at the frontier for a while now. We haven't seen each other for quite some time." Surprised, Imogen asked, "Mr. Morrison works at the frontier?"

Mila nodded. "Yes."

Nathan smiled without saying a word. He served Mila some meat and advised, "Eat more protein. You've lost weight since I last saw you."

As if a pampered little princess, Mila playfully complained, "It's all those late nights. The rocket tests keep failing, and the data was consistently off." Nathan couldn't help but furrow his brow. "Take care of yourself no matter how busy you are."

"Alright, I will." Mila smiled knowingly.

Imogen couldn't help but notice Nathan's expressions and the fondness in his eyes, sensing a striking resemblance to Jasper. Lost in her thoughts, she nervously lowered her head and focused on her meal when she felt Nathan's gaze on her.

Caught peeking at Nathan, she felt incredibly embarrassed and awkward.

She simply noticed the resemblance

between Nathan and Jasper,

nothing more, not intentionally spying on him or drawn in by his charm. She wondered if Nathan

would misunderstand her.

"Mr. Morrison?" Imogen pondered, slightly surprised as Jasper also bore the Morrison surname. "Could they be related?"

After dinner, Imogen shared with Jasper her location, with a text saying, "I've finished dinner."

"I'll come pick you up now. Wait for me." Came Jasper's reply.

"Okay," she replied, setting her phone down after sending the text.

In the living room, a maid set out

fruit and brought in Earl Grey tean et

Mila and Imogen chatted while enjoying the fruit, while Nathan went upstairs to freshen up.

Unable to resist, Mila asked, "Imogen, do you have any sisters? Or perhaps friends?"Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm the only child, but I do have friends," Imogen replied.

Mila smiled awkwardly and inquired, "Do you happen to know any nice ladies who might be a good match for my son? Someone like you will do."

Imogen thought for a moment

before saying, "Alright, I'll keep an eye out and ask my friends if they're open to blind dates. I could play matchmaker."

"Thank you, Imogen." Mila was pleased.

Just then, Jasper called. Imogen glanced at her phone and exchanged an awkward look with Mila.

Mila smiled and said, "It's okay, go ahead and answer it."

Suppressing a smile, Imogen answered the phone and brought it to her ear. She whispered, "What's wrong?"

Jasper's voice sounded alarmed. "Imogen, is your location correct?"

Imogen replied, "Yes, why?"

"Are you sure you're at Sudvilla right now?" he asked urgently.

Imogen covered the phone and asked Mila, "Professor Winkler, is this Sudvilla?"
