Chapter 1054


    M approached Jasper, her tone gentle yet tinged with puzzlement. "Didn''t you say you were too busy toe back? It''s so sudden. I thought you weren''ting back.


    "Come over here for a moment. I want to introduce you to someone."


    Jasper''s emotions were tangled. He had never anticipated this scenario for their first meeting.


    He had been waiting for Imogen to ept him and reciprocate his feelings before formally informing his parents and family. The current situation wasplex.


    Imogen herself was stunned. She had long known that Jasper''s father was a general and his mother a renowned chemistry professor.


    However, she hadn''t expected Jasper to be M''s son and the dignified man to be Nathan Morrison, the defense general of Norvania.


    Imogen felt her palms growing mmy as she nced shyly at Nathan and then at M.


    M gently positioned Jasper in front of Imogen, her smile warm as she introduced, "Imogen, let me introduce you. This is my son, Jasper Morrison." Imogen struggled to find words, feeling disoriented and lost.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    "Jasper, this is Imogen-"


    "I know her," Jasper interjected.


    M looked surprised. "You two know each other?"


    Jasper met Imogen''s evasive gaze, sensing her unease and confusion.


    Nathan walked over to the couch, preparing to speak, when Jasper suddenly dered, "Mom, Dad, I''ve gotten married."


    Nathan and M froze at his words. They exchanged shocked nces, their excitement evident yet tempered.


    M couldn''t contain her joy, her


    hand covering her mouth as she stared wide-eyed at Jasper. After a moment topose herself, she eximed, "Is this true? Are you serious? Who is she? When will you bring her home?"


    Nathan chimed in, "Yeah. Although your marriage is yours to decide we''re a family. Sooner orter, we''ll need to meet her. Bring her over when you''re ready. Let''s all get acquainted."


    Imogen trembled with nerves, caughtpletely off guard by this turn of events.


    Just moments ago, she had confided in M. Never did she imagine the professor was her future mother-inw, and that dignified man was her father-inw.


    She wished she could disappear into the ground right then. How could such a coincidental series of events unfold?


    Just as Imogen picked up her bag anxiously to bid farewell and leave, Jasper suddenly approached her. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and drew her close into his embrace.


    Imogen''s face drained of color with fear, her body tensing as she stared straight ahead at M and Nathan. The shock was evident on M''s and Nathan''s faces as well.


    With solemnity, Jasper said, "Meet my wife, Imogen Kingsley."


    M gasped in disbelief, remaining silent for several moments. The atmosphere in the living room grew heavy with silence.


    Nathan, ustomed to life''s


    surprises found this unexpected news delightful, believing in the inexplicable nature of fate. After a brief moment of astonishment, he smiled knowingly.


    M covered her mouth, struggling topose herself for quite some time.


    Imogen, her nerves tingling, awkwardly bowed her head in greeting. "I''m sorry, I didn''t know you were Jasper''s parents. I just found out now. I....."


    She was anxious about how Nathan and M would react next. Given her modest background, few elders would readily ept her into their family.


    She also wondered whether M''s earlier mention of introducing her to her son had been a jest or a sincere proposal.


    M quickly waved her hand, responding, "There''s no need to apologize. It''s Jasper''s fault.


    "He didn''t tell us about your marriage, and he hasn''t brought you home all this while. It''s all his fault."
