Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."

Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."

Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment." Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.

A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.

Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.

As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose her job, and even destroyed their home. She deserved to face the consequences of her actions.

Imogen studied the route map Jasper had given her in the airport lounge, feeling excited. Looking it over with a smile, a sudden wave of nausea hit her.

She quickly covered her mouth, afraid she might vomit. The feeling subsided after a moment. After taking a deep breath, she refocused on the map. Jasper emerged from the restroom and walked over to Imogen, reaching out to take her hand. "Imogen, let's head to the boarding gate." Imogen slung her shoulder bag over her arm and stood, walking beside him toward the boarding area. Suddenly, four people appeared before them, catching Jasper and Imogen off guard and causing them to halt abruptly. The group of four grinned broadly at them.

"Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?" Imogen and Jasper exclaimed simultaneously.

They each held suitcases, clutching boarding passes and passports. Gregory's hand was still wrapped in bandages.

Mila shared a smile with Nathan before addressing Jasper. "Your father and I decided on an extended vacation to travell with our in-laws. What brings you both here?"

Jasper and Imogen had kept their plans secret, not sharing them with anyone. He flashed the plane tickets in hand, saying. "We're going on a trip."

"Where to?"

"We're starting with the Summer Wave Islands," Jasper answered.

Carol burst out, "What a coincidence! We're going there, too."

Jasper and Imogen exchanged a glance, both falling silent.

Nathan grinned knowingly and reassured them. "This trip is our in-laws' getaway, with a separate route from yours. Don't worry. We won't be intruding on each other."

Jasper and Imogen trusted his words and boarded the plane with smiles.

During the first leg of their journey, either Jasper's parents, Imogen's parents, or both unexpectedly appeared in their wedding pictures. Later on, both sets of parents traveled to Sutherland to extend their in-law tour.

Meanwhile, Jasper and Imogen jetted off in the opposite direction, heading to a secluded country renowned for its romantic vistas.

As they sat under the setting sun, Jasper asked, "Imogen, are there still dreams you want to pursue?"

Resting against his shoulder, Imogen gazed at the beautiful sunset, feeling drowsy as she murmured, "I once had many dreams I couldn't chase, but not anymore."

"I feel so lucky to meet you again," Jasper said emotionally.

Imogen snuggled in his arms, her voice filled with contentment. "I feel like the luckiest person alive. Meeting you has transformed my life. Thank you."

"Do you see us having children one day?" Jasper asked cautiously.

Imogen's hand subtly moved to her abdomen, replying, "Yes."

Jasper's face lit up with happiness. He leaned in and kissed her lips affectionately. As the sun set below the horizon, their hearts became inseparable.
