The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 987

As Imogen turned, she noticed Ethan approaching with a tissue in hand, his steps eager.

With a gentle touch, he wiped the water from her face, his voice comforting. "You know you can always confide in me. We've been best friends for so long."

Grabbing the tissue from his hand, Imogen's tone soured. "How could you just leave your pregnant wife and come rushing over here? It's not only unfair. It's downright despicable."

"I was worried about you." Ethan's voice quivered with concern. "If they bother you again, just tell me. I'll always be here to protect you. I—"

"That won't be necessary." The voice that disrupted the silence wasn't Imogen's. It resonated from the man coming down the stairs.

With each elegant stride, Jasper descended. Imogen and Ethan both lifted their gazes.

Jasper was adorned in a flawlessly tailored black suit, exuding an aura of unmatched elegance and refinement.

Despite their previous interactions, Imogen couldn't help but find herself captivated by Jasper's presence.

Approaching Imogen, Jasper firmly clasped her damp shoulder as he drew her into his embrace. His demeanor dripped with arrogance, his eyes cold and unyielding.

"My wife is under my protection. There's no need for you to concern yourself," Jasper firmly declared.

Meanwhile, Imogen's heart raced as she found herself enveloped in Jasper's embrace. An inexplicable nervousness gripped her, causing her heart to flutter wildly.

Overwhelmed by the moment's intensity, her body stiffened with tension, hesitating to respond. Jasper's subtle, yet captivating, scent momentarily left her mind blank, ensnared by its allure.

Visibly surprised, Ethan shifted his gaze between Jasper and Imogen. "You're married?" he blurted out.

Imogen remained tense and disoriented in Jasper's embrace, struggling to process Ethan's words.

"Yes, we are," Jasper confirmed.

As his words tapered off, Ethan tenderly sifted his fingers through Imogen's damp hair, his tone laced with concern as he asked, "How did this happen?"

Feeling a bit uneasy, Imogen briskly withdrew from his touch. "I'm alright. Are you on your way to work?"

Watching this exchange, Ethan's expression darkened even more, his jaw tightening as he demanded, "Imogen, aren't you going to introduce us?"
