Chapter 1074
Imogen frowned in disappointment. She asked, “Did you marry me just to carry on the family line?” Jasper panicked and hurriedly replied, “No, that’s not it.”
“Then why?” Imogen scoffed, “Why are you in such a hurry for me to have a child?”
“You know the reason.”
“No, I don’t.”
Jasper said, “You make me feel insecure. Maybe if we have a child, you won’t leave me.”
Imogen said, “If I don’t love you, it won’t matter if we have one child or ten. If I want to leave, I will.”
With that, she got out of the car and stormed toward the villa.
Jasper quickly got out too and hurried after her. He then grabbed her arm and asked anxiously, “You still want a divorce, don’t you?”
Imogen felt exhausted. She coldly replied in an angry tone, “Jasper, you’re being unreasonable.”
Jasper’s eyes reddened as he suppressed his emotions. He said clearly, “I’m unreasonable because of you.”
He was humbling himself, trying everything to keep her close and keep their marriage strong.
“Why put the blame on me?” Imogen asked angrily. She hadn’t expected their first big argument to be about having children.
Jasper gave a bitter smile as his eyes glistened with tears. He said, “Imogen, I can feel that you don’t have a place for me in your heart. I can’t feel a single bit of love from you.”
Imogen wanted to cry, but she held back her tears. She was aggrieved as she angrily asked, “How can you say I don’t love you?”
Jasper said with an aggressive tone, “Because I can’t feel it!”
Imogen stomped her foot in frustration before yelling, “Jasper, you’re a jerk!”
After that, she pushed him away then secretly wiped her tears and went upstairs.
Jasper sat on the sofa in the living room. After calming down, he
realized he had been too harsh and impulsive. He was so anxious and afraid of losing her that he
ver
irrationally wanted Imogen toget pregnant.
He went upstairs and wanted to open the door, but found the door was locked. He knocked on the door and asked gently, “Imogen, I’m sorry. Can you open the door, please?”
There was no response from inside.
He knocked again. He apologized, “Imogen… It’s my fault… Imogen, I know I was wrong, so please let me in.”
Imogen roared behind the door, “Sleep in the guest room. I don’t want to see you tonight!”
Jasper dejectedly went downstairs.
Then, he walked toward the bar counter. He poured himself a glass of vodka and drank it.
He felt like he was going crazy. He loved Imogen so much and he was unsure of her feelings, that was why he was always anxious and insecure.
They had just gotten married, and he had already forced Imogen to have a child. He had made a huge mistake this time.
Imogen must hated him even more now.
Jasper drank one glass after another, pouring more after each.
His face was flushed, his eyes unfocused, and his body swayed unsteadily. In the end, he collapsed onto the table. With his eyes closed, he murmured, “Imogen, I beg you, please don’t leave me, okay? Imogen, we won’t get divorced. You’re my wife, my wife for life…”
In a daze, Jasper extended his hand to reach out to something. He said, his voice trembling, “Why don’t you love me?”
With that sweep, the bottles and glasses on the table crashed to the floor, making a loud clattering noise that startled Imogen who was in her room.
She came out and looked down from the second floor. As she saw the scene at the bar counter in the living room, she panicked.
She hurriedly ran down the stairs and rushed to Jasper.
