The Pretend Wife Chapter 84
As I was mesmerized by Aladdin and Jasmine's magical carpet ride, the sound of a car pulling into the driveway interrupted me. My heart raced with excitement as I quickly composed myself and waited for Jasper's arrival.With bated breath, I watched the screen, savoring the duet of Aladdin and Jasmine while reminding myself to play it cool. Suddenly, the door creaked open, and I turned to see Jasper, who looked absolutely stunning. It was evident that he had gone the extra mile for me, shopping and dressing up in his best attire.He wore a sky-blue shirt that complemented the baby blue hue of his eyes, along with a black linen jacket and dark blue jeans. His hair had that effortlessly sexy "just out of bed" look, and he had even taken the time to shave and wear a subtle yet alluring perfume that filled the room with its scent. I couldn't help but admire his attention to detail, and my heart skipped a beat as I took in his captivating presence.As he came closer, his piercing blue eyes

Suddenly, a sweet melody reached my ears, and for a fleeting moment, I wondered if the fishes were singing. But soon enough, I recognized the familiar tune - "Grateful Hearts," a song I adored. Its lyrics resonated in my head, accompanying the music.As we wrapped up our dinner, Jasper extended his hand in a wordless invitation. Excitedly, I took his hand, and we began to sway to the music. Jasper held me close, and I nestled my head on his shoulder, feeling secure and cherished. It was an idyllic moment, as if time had ceased to exist.As the song drew to a close, I gazed up at Jasper, beaming. "This has been the best date ever," I exclaimed gratefully.With a smile, he replied, "You're welcome," as he gazed back at me."Will you forgive me now?" he asked, his lips slightly pouted.I chuckled and responded, "Almost." However, his charm proved irresistible, and I added, "Yes, I forgive you."Jasper checked his watch and groaned. "We'll have to leave soon. I only had permission for th

"Here you go. Is there anything else you need?""No, this is perfect. Thank you," I said gratefully.He smiled and bid us goodnight before heading back to his room.Cassandra and I took turns using the bathroom and changing into our night clothes before settling down in the spare room. In the darkness, I listened to her breathing and noticed that she seemed restless and couldn't get comfortable."Sandy, what's wrong?" I asked."It's nothing, it just takes me a while to get used to a new bed," she replied with a sigh.I couldn't help but wonder if she was upset about the unexpected interruption or if she was just genuinely having trouble sleeping. As I lay there, I found myself getting lost in my thoughts, analyzing all the different scenarios that could play out between us.Eventually, I sat up abruptly, unable to bear the restlessness any longer. Cassandra sat up as well, and we both stared at each other in the dark, unsure of what to do next."Hey Dad," I called out as he entered

Upon entering, she gently called out to Cassandra , who stirred and opened her eyes, squinting against the bright sunlight. Reacting quickly, I pulled the curtains to provide some shade. Cassandra 's voice was hoarse as she spoke, "I don't feel too good." Mom asked her what was wrong, to which she replied, "My head aches, my body is aching too, and I feel feverish." She appeared exhausted.I think she should see a doctor, Mom suggested . I hesitated for a moment, but Mom insisted, "Jasper, call the doctor." However, Cassandra objected. "What? No! I just need to sleep a little, I will be alright." Despite her protestations, Mom was resolute, "Nonsense! Jasper, call the doctor up now!"Without delay, I called the doctor who promised to arrive soon. I sat by Cassandra 's side while Mom went to inform Dad that Cassandra wasn't feeling well. Mom offered to cancel their meeting in the next town, but Cassandra refused, "I'm sure it's nothing serious. Please don't cancel because of me.

I nodded shyly, feeling even more bashful when he chuckled and kissed my hair. "Not now, though," he continued, "you're too weak. We need you to regain your strength quickly because Mom wants to start the wedding preparations in full swing!"His expression made me laugh, and Jasper took my tray to the kitchen before returning to bed to hold me. "Jasper, you shouldn't be near me. You'll catch the infection too!" I protested."I don't care," he replied, "I want to be near you."Feeling a mixture of happiness and weakness, I smiled as Jasper massaged my throbbing head, and I soon drifted off to sleep. When I awoke, Jasper was still beside me, massaging my head. I checked the time and was surprised to find that he had been doing it for over an hour."Jasper!" I croaked, my voice still raspy from sleep and flu. "You don't have to keep going. You could have stopped when I fell asleep.""I wanted you to wake up without a headache," he replied sadly, pulling me in for a tight hug. I felt tear

I playfully stuck my tongue out at him. "Fine, if you insist, I'll just have some coffee and toast. I don't want anything too heavy.""Okay, if that's what you want."Suddenly, Jasper's phone buzzed again. "Jasper, your phone is ringing," I called out."Who is it?" he asked."It's a text.""Go ahead and check it," he said, handing me the phone.I opened his inbox and saw that the message was from Julie.I apologize, Jasper. Can we please talk and resolve things? I have been trying to reach you via phone calls, but you haven't responded. I am eagerly waiting for your call back.Should I reply to her, I asked Jasper.No don't, just ignore her . Jasper said angrily, and continued.By the way, our parents are planning to visit us tomorrow. But for tonight, it's just you and me. Hey, don't mind my silly gestures; I'm just trying to make you laugh, he said jokingly."I hate you!" I exclaimed angrily."Oh, you know you love me," Jasper teased back."I do not," I retorted.The rest of the d

Puzzled, I asked, "What happened?""They're watching Jeremey’s Anatomy," Alex replied in a bored tone."So?" I asked, still not understanding."D-d-Mac died!" Kenny bawled."Who?" I questioned."Chelsea’s fiancé?" Kenny responded.I was stunned. "Are you guys serious?""What?" Cassandra asked as Kenny comforted her.I sat down on the couch and burst into laughter.Cassandra smacked me on the head. "Ow! Don't laugh, it's really sad how he died!""Okay, but he's alive, right?""What?" I asked as Cassandra looked down at the ground."My mom just told me that my grandma passed away," she whispered."Oh my god, Cassandra , I'm so sorry," I said, getting up from the couch to give her a hug. Kenny and Alex followed suit, and we all sat there, holding Cassandra as she cried.Eventually, we all got up and sat back down on the couch. The room was silent for a few minutes until Alex spoke up."You know what we should watch? The Neighbours. It always cheers me up," he said.Cassandra smiled w

Alex, who had also emerged, added, "If you don't mind, please leave. You're dirtying our doorstep."The tension in the air was palpable, and if looks could kill, all three of them would have killed Julie with their firm stare." leave now! Julie," I declared firmly."No, I won't !" Julie protested."What do you mean you won't ?" I asked, puzzled by her defiance.Cassandra appeared in the doorway, her hair wrapped in a towel. "What's going on?" she asked, curious."I don't want to upset her," I whispered to Alex and Kenny, who both nodded in agreement. Before Julie could say anything, Alex covered her mouth with his hand, pushed her out of the room, and followed her outside."Nothing's going on," Kenny assured Cassandra , redirecting her attention.I glanced over my shoulder and followed Alex outside. He had Julie in his grasp, and she was struggling to get free. When I lifted her legs, Alex and I carried her to her car.The car door was unlocked, and the keys were inside. Julie beca
