"Have you met that woman before?" Jasper asked. "We haven't seen her in person. Her parents handled the negotiations," Gregory answered.Jasper nodded in understanding upon hearing this. "Dad, everything is settled now. You should take some rest.""Okay, you should get to bed early too."With that, Gregory retreated to his room, leaving Jasper slumped on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest.Meanwhile, Imogen emerged from the bathroom and found Jasper reclined on the sofa, apparently asleep.Approaching quietly, she leaned down and whispered, "Ash, don't sleep here, you—"Before she could finish, Jasper opened his eyes.Imogen stood frozen, her eyes locked onto Jasper's profound gaze.His eyes shimmered with mystery and depth, their intensity captivating as he gazed into hers.Imogen nervously cleared her throat before advising, "You shouldn't stay here; you might catch a cold. Take a shower before heading to your room to sleep.""Imogen.""Yes?""Do you have any regrets?"

Imogen felt her strength draining in Jasper's comforting embrace, her body softening like a puddle. Despite her nervousness, she closed her eyes, eagerly awaiting his next move.At that moment, her heart swelled with anticipation.As moments drifted by, Jasper kept her in his arms, his body radiating warmth akin to a furnace. Finally, he whispered in her ear, "You can rest a little longer. There's no rush to get up so early."Upon hearing this, Imogen was left speechless.In a heartbeat, the comforting warmth of his embrace dissipated.Jasper stepped back, gently draping a blanket over her. Afterward, he changed into fresh clothes.Imogen couldn't resist stealing a glance at him, her heart brimming with curiosity.Jasper discarded his pajamas and slipped into a button-up shirt.As Imogen caught a glimpse of Jasper's strong back muscles, a slight warmth spread across her cheeks.Settling back onto the bed, she subconsciously gripped the blanket, her mind racing with questions.

Jasper's overwhelming presence loomed large over Ethan.Ethan couldn't help but falter in response to Jasper's imposing demeanor.Imogen picked up on Ethan's tension and anxiety. Trying to diffuse the tension, she said, "It was just a minor disagreement, nothing serious."Jasper frowned, his expression darkening further.Imogen nervously swallowed as she glanced at Ethan. "Weren't you supposed to be bringing breakfast home to Scarlett?"Ethan nodded hurriedly. "Yes, that's right. I should get going."With those words, he turned and hurried away.Jasper let out a cold scoff as he watched Ethan leave, his frustration mounting. He felt as though he was on the brink of losing his sanity.In their childhood, Imogen felt no affection for Jasper. Now, as adults, her heart belonged to someone else.Jasper couldn't understand why he kept subjecting himself to such anguish.Why did he ever have to meet her?Just then, Imogen cautiously approached Jasper, asking, "Are you angry?"Jasp

Despite Zoey's ordinary appearance, her temperament was notably pleasant.Jasper scrutinized her academic credentials and job application with a penetrating gaze.Zoey appeared visibly nervous. Her cheeks flushed with a blend of shyness and apprehension, her heart fluttering with waves of emotion.The CEO's choice to personally conduct her interview—an extraordinary privilege unlike any other—filled her with an excitement she could barely contain.Before Zoey arrived, she had envisioned encountering a middle-aged man who was bald and overweight, assuming he had chosen her based on her beauty, talent, and capabilities.However, upon meeting Jasper, she was surprised to find a young, handsome, and remarkably charismatic individual."You began with great promise at Norvania Aerospace Academy, achieving top grades. It's disappointing that you graduated with the lowest scores."Your high school essay on space exploration dreams garnered attention across Norvania, creating quite a buz

"How about I wash them instead?" Imogen said because she could see that Jasper wasn't good at housework, or perhaps he had no experience at all.As she stepped into the kitchen, Jasper quickly put down what he was doing and pushed her toward the door.He said firmly, "No, I said I'll do it, so I will do it well.""Just be careful," Imogen said, a bit worried about him.Jasper replied with a gentle smile, "Alright."Imogen went to sit in the living room.Jasper washed the dishes, cleaned up, and even wiped down the stove.In the living room, Imogen was looking at her phone. Suddenly, she received a message from an old client, codenamed "Old Wolf."Old Wolf: "Imogen, there's an outsourcing project. Can you do it?"Imogen: "What kind of project?"Old Wolf sent a file labeled "Confidential". Upon opening it, she was shocked and looked at it for a long time.Imogen: "I can do it. How much are you offering?"Old Wolf: "Eight thousand."Imogen: "25 thousand."Old Wolf: "You're t
