Chapter 990
Imogen said, “No need. You work so hard, so you should relax when you get back from work. I can handle this myself.”
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jasper pondered for a moment. He said, “Imogen, let’s talk.”
Instead of stopping what she was doing, Imogen asked, “Talk about what?”
“Let’s get to know each other better to ease the adjustment period after marriage.” Imogen looked at him silently. Jasper said gently as he looked into her eyes, “We both have jobs, so we don’t get much time together.”
Imogen smiled faintly. She said, “Life is long. Are you afraid we won’t get to know each other well enough?” Jasper asked, “What’s your relationship with Ethan?” Imogen fell silent. Jasper continued, “Is he your ex-boyfriend?”
Imogen put down the cloth she was holding and leaned against the desk. She responded, “No. He is just a friend.” “And what about his wife?”
Imogen replied, “She was my close friend, but now she’s just a neighbor that I’m familiar with.”
Jasper asked, “Do they live nearby?”
Imogen said, “Yes. We grew up together, but we’re just ordinary friends.”
Jasper asked, “Do you still have feelings for him?”
Imogen scoffed and retorted, “I’m married to you. Why would you ask that?”
Jasper’s expression darkened. He asked calmly, “Do you still love him?”
Imogen was unhappy. She lowered her head and said coldly. “No.”
Jasper continued, “Then don’t have any contact with him.”
“Why?” Imogen asked as she was puzzled.
Jasper sneered. She replied, “A scheming woman and a cunning man. You’re no match for them.”
Imogen resigned as she smiled. She then stood in front of Jasper and said, “You’ve only met them once and already decided this? Isn’t that a bit hasty?”
Jasper resigned. He responded, “I’m just looking out for you.”
Though Imogen didn’t agree, she nodded politely. She said, “Alright. Thank you for the advice. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Jasper took out a bank card and handed it to Imogen. He said, “This is my salary card. Use it as you please. Don’t save money for me.”
Imogen froze. Staring at the card, she was momentarily at a loss.
“Take it,” Jasper said as he placed the card in her hand.
Imogen nervously gulped. As she glanced at the card, she said, “I’ll keep it safe.”
Jasper frowned. He corrected her, “You should not save but spend… Don’t save money for me. Make sure you spend it, understand?”
Imogen smiled wryly. This man, why does he always say the opposite?
“Alright. Thank you, dear,” Imogen said lightly.
Jasper’s heart raced like crazy as he heard the word “dear”. His face flushed, and his ears turned red as he looked at Imogen intensely.
Imogen’s expression remained calm, but she was taken aback when she noticed his red ears. Why was he blushing? She didn’t do anything!
“What’s wrong with you?” Imogen asked curiously.
Jasper tugged at his collar, feeling hot. His heart couldn’t stop pounding. The word “dear” had him flustered.
He gulped as he replied with a hoarse voice, “I’m fine. Imogen, if you ever want something, just tell me. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll satisfy you.”
Imogen played along and smiled. She asked, “I want to fly to space. Can you take me there?”
“Try something else,” Jasper said as he smiled helplessly.
