Chapter 977
Imogen couldn’t help but smile, her eyes twinkling with happiness.
After so many blind dates with countless men, they always found something to criticize about Imogen-her family’s poverty, her education level, or her personality. It seemed they could always find a flaw.
This was the first time Imogen met someone who genuinely appreciated her, and it didn’t hurt that he was handsome too.
Although Asher’s family wasn’t wealthy either, they were well-matched. Neither could look down on the other.
Moreover, Aunt Eloise, who had married into his hometown, vouched for him, praising his honesty, capability, and good character. He seemed like perfect husband material.
Blushing slightly, Imogen’s voice softened. I’m quite satisfied with you too. How about we get our marriage license?”
Jasper was taken aback. “A marriage license? We’ve just met. Shouldn’t we get to know each other first?
Imogen shrugged. “It’s all about living together. We can make do, and the days will pass.” Jasper was at a loss for words.
After pausing a moment, Imogen explained, “If you want to build a relationship first, that’s fine. But Aunt Eloise mentioned your father had cancer.
“Even though he’s recovering well, you are eager to get married to fulfill his wish. I thought you’d be more anxious than me.”
Jasper hesitated for a few seconds, then smiled gently and said, “Alright, let’s get married then.”
Imogen didn’t get excited. But instead, she felt a sense of relief wash over her as if she had completed a significant task. She wouldn’t have to endure her parents’ relentless nagging about marriage anymore.
*Bring your documents tomorrow morning and we’ll meet at the city hall.”
‘Let’s exchange numbers, Jasper suggested, taking out his phone.
Imogen pulled out her phone as well, showing him her number. After he added her, she couldn’t help but ask, “After we’re married, can I manage your salary?”
Jasper looked up in puzzlement.
Imogen quickly clarified, “Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to take your money. We can put both our salaries into your bank account, but I’d like to keep the card. You’ve been scammed before, and you’re too kind-hearted. It’s easy for you to get cheated.”
But of course, it was also because of greed and innocence-two of the most dangerous traits. Imogen didn’t want to risk their future finances.
Jasper smiled warmly. “Alright, after we get married, you can handle the household matters.”
After exchanging their numbers, Imogen inquired, “Will you continue renting an apartment once we’re married?”
He was renting an apartment? Jasper was taken aback by her question.
Imogen noticed his hesitation and added, “Let’s save money. Instead of renting, why don’t we stay with my parents? It’s cramped, but we’ll save on rent. We can move out once we’ve saved enough for a down payment.”
“Okay, whatever you say,” Jasper agreed softly.
His gentle and magnetic voice melted Imogen’s heart. Did all salesmen have such charming voices? With his good looks and pleasant tone, it’s no wonder female customers found it hard to resist buying cars from him.
Imogen picked up her frog head, her smile brimming. “I should go now. I’ll see you tomorrow, dear future husband.”
Jasper stood momentarily stunned, his heart racing and cheeks flushing. He watched her stride toward the subway entrance until she vanished from sight. Shaking himself out of his reverie, he hurried after her.
He took her hand and cleared his slightly husky throat. “Imogen, I’ll send you home. I came here by car.”
Imogen was surprised. “You have a car?”
After seconds of hesitation, Jasper replied, “It’s a client’s car. I’m sending it for maintenance and drove it here.”
“Great!’ Imogen turned and walked back, delighted.
She was determined to save as much money as possible to support her dream of advancing the nation’s space exploration efforts. Every penny saved was a penny earned.
