The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 1033

Jasper felt his heart sink as he stood there, rooted to the spot, his intense gaze meeting Imogen's eyes blazing with anger. Momentarily speechless, he slipped his hands into his sweatpants pockets, lowered his head, and sighed.

Imogen suppressed her frustration, studying him cautiously before calmly asking, "Are you still searching for the right words, or do you plan to continue deceiving me?"

Jasper lifted his head and held her gaze firmly. "I'm Jasper Morrison."

Imogen's demeanor turned colder. "I'm fully aware. It's written on the marriage certificate."

"I deceived you. My real name isn't Asher, and I'm not the guy Eloise arranged for you to meet," Jasper said.

"Why would you pretend to be the guy Aunt Eloise set me up with?" Imogen demanded, her voice laced with anger.

Jasper felt a surge of unease. He extended his hand, wanting to reach for Imogen's hand to explain himself.

Yet, Imogen cautiously stepped back, swiftly tucking her hands behind her, and eyeing his hand warily.

Jasper's hand hung in the air, pausing momentarily before slowly balling into a fist and then dropping to his side. He sighed softly. "To you, we're both strangers. What's the difference between marrying him and marrying me?"

"Quite a lot," Imogen asserted. "Asher is the man Aunt Eloise picked out for me. I trust her judgment. She wouldn't introduce him unless he were a good man. But you? Why did you pretend to be my blind date and rush into marriage with me?"

"After all we've been through, don't you think I'm a good man?" Jasper asked.

"That's beside the point." Imogen couldn't understand his intentions. She continued, "You're quite good-looking and tall. Finding a girlfriend would be easy with your looks. So, why rush into marrying someone like me, whom you barely know?"

"Because I have feelings for you," Jasper replied without hesitation.
