The Wrong Woman

The meeting between the families was set for the following day.

Gregory and Carol approached this occasion with profound apprehension, viewing it as highly significant.

They woke up early in the morning and meticulously prepared themselves, investing their entire savings into purchasing gifts for the meeting.

They felt a modest gift might not be sufficient, concerned that Nathan and Mila might not find it impressive. After careful thought, they settled on the most luxurious dietary supplements available. They purchased a jar of high-end vitamins worth hundreds of dollars, along with several other expensive supplements like propolis, fish oil, and probiotics.

They also visited the hair salon for new hairstyles and bought what they deemed the most fashionable clothes and shoes.

By noon, Gregory and Carol returned home.

Jasper and Imogen were both frantically searching for them.

Upon seeing Gregory and Carol in their new attire, sporting stylish hairstyles, and carrying expensive boxes of supplements, both Jasper and Imogen were utterly stunned.

Jasper had already arranged for a makeup artist, prepared several sets of new clothes, and meticulously organized all the gifts.

However, it appeared that Gregory and Carol had taken matters into their own hands.

"Mom, Dad, didn't Jay say he would take care of everything? You didn't even bring your phone this morning and disappeared for hours. What were you up to?" Imogen questioned. Gregory quickly retrieved his phone, insisting, "I did bring my phone!"
