Chapter 27: Coming Away With Him

After returning to the bedroom, Imogen decided to take a nap to rest her weary mind.

Around three o’clock in the afternoon, Troy hurriedly returned home. He went straight to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. In the corner, he noticed a pile of gifts and asked the aunt, “Has anyone been here today?”

The aunt replied truthfully, “One of Madam’s friends came by earlier.”

Troy raised an eyebrow, sensing that there was more to the story. “And then?”

“Madam asked me to refer to her as ‘Miss‘ in front of her friend.”

Troy furrowed his brow, understanding that Imogen’s friend was a man. He had a gut feeling that this person was the one Imogen had feelings for. Pretending to be unmarried in front of him suggested that she must have genuinely liked him, fearing that her past marriage might be a turn–off.

Troy took a sip of water, then inquired further, “Tell me about the man’s appearance.”

“He looked like a celebrity on TV,” the aunt replied, recognizing Liam but not being able to recall

his name.

A star, Troy thought, recalling how Liam had disguised himself during their last encounter at the studio entrance.

It confirmed that Liam was indeed the person Imogen liked.

Troy finished his water, put down the glass, and headed straight upstairs.

Imogen had just woken up and was still lying in bed, feeling lethargic. As she gazed at the ceiling, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. The door opened, and Troy walked in.

If this were the same time yesterday, Imogen would have been overjoyed by Troy’s return. But now, after waiting for so long, his arrival didn’t cause much excitement in her heart; it was more of a confirmation.

She understood that he was probably here to finalize the divorce tomorrow.

It seemed that he couldn’t wait any longer.

“Wake up.” Troy approached and sat by the bed.

“Hmm” Imogen let out a hesitant grunt and sat up from the bed, her mind filled with questions about why Troy hadn’t returned the night before yesterday or last night.

However, as she was about to voice her concerns, her attention was immediately drawn to Troy’s disheveled clothes, particularly his shirt, which had numerous wrinkles and a faint lip print on the collar.

She slowly approached him, taking a careful sniff and recognizing the scent of the woman’s perfume on his body – the same perfume Sarah frequently used. In an instant, Imogen felt as if her world had collapsed, leaving her stunned and speechless.

She had suspected that Troy and Sarah might have a close relationship, but seeing the evidence with her own eyes was something she couldn’t bear.

Her nose tingled, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
