The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 967

Jasper's eyes gleamed with anticipation as he eagerly nodded. "Sure, Mom. What's your plan?"

"First, you should start dating," Mila suggested with a faint smile.

Jasper was baffled. After a pause, he responded indifferently, "Mom, it seems you're just nudging me to get a girlfriend. Don't use helping Uncle Elio and Candice as an excuse."

Mila sounded mildly dismayed. "At 26, isn't it normal to be curious about romance? Why aren't you interested? Haven't you met anyone who interests you?"

"There are attractive women out there, but none captivated me. They all seem rather dull," Jasper sighed wearily. "That's why I'm not eager to get to know them."

"That sounds like an excuse," Mila snorted.

"Whatever," Jasper muttered, clearly exasperated.

Half an hour later, they pulled up to Hillside Villa. As the car pulled into the driveway, Candice heard the noise and rushed out, surprised to see Mila and Jasper stepping out.

"Aunt Chubs, Jasper, what brings you here?" Candice asked.

Jasper headed to the back seat and opened the door to help Elio, who appeared unconscious, out of the car. Candice hurried over to offer help. "How did Elio get so drunk?" she asked.

"He's not drunk. He's—" Jasper began, but Mila interrupted sharply, "Jasper."

Jasper quickly grasped Mila's signal for him to keep quiet. Alongside Candice, he helped Elio into the house and settled him in his room.

Afterward, they descended to the living room where Mila was waiting. A maid brought refreshments as they entered.

"Aunt Chubs, when did you return?" Candice asked.

"I returned as soon as I heard about Jasper's grandma's injury," Mila replied gently.

Candice's face creased with worry. "Her injury's bad. She can't walk at all right now."

Relieved, Candice smiled and nodded, humming in agreement.

Mila couldn't resist adding, "Are there single ladies among your friends or acquaintances? Maybe you could introduce them to Jasper. He—"

Jasper interrupted with irritation. "Mom, enough. Can you please stop?"

There was a brief pause before Candice asked, "Aunt Chubs, isn't Jasper gay?"

Mila was taken aback.

Growing exasperated, Jasper responded sharply, "Candice, when did I ever say I was gay? Don't spread rumors. I'll sue you for defamation even though we're family."

"But that's what all your friends say," Candice replied with a cheerful smile.

Jasper was left seething, pointing a finger at Candice as if to scold her. However, he found himself unable to reprimand her. He ended up swallowing his anger like trying to choke down a cactus.
