The Wrong Woman

Chapter 1082

Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.

Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.

Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."

Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"

Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.

Sensing the tension, Mila swiftly started a conversation. "Carol, I heard you lost your job?"

Carol quickly nodded, humming in response.
