The Wrong Woman

At this moment, Jasper walked in.

He greeted his parents politely, "Dad, Mom."

Mila responded softly, "Jasper, welcome back. Come, sit next to me. It's been a long time since we've seen you."

Jasper sat down beside Mila. He gently held her hand as his eyes filled with longing. They exchanged a smile.

The smile faded from Nathan's face as he adopted a stern expression. He asked, "Jasper, what have you been busy with lately?" "I've been learning business with Uncle Elio," Jasper replied earnestly.

Nathan nodded, approving of his work.

When Elio was mentioned, Candice felt inexplicably nervous.

Suddenly, Jasper asked her, "Candice, didn't you go on a business trip with Uncle Elio? Why are you back? And where's Uncle Elio?"

Feeling uneasy, Candice nervously replied, "I don't know. My work was done, so I came back."
