Chapter 43 Deceiving For Three Years

The driver focused on driving, and Imogen settled into the back seat, gazing out of the car window in silence. The sounds of the bustling city outside contrasted sharply with the quiet atmosphere inside the car.

Troy observed Imogen’s slightly somber expression and asked, “Since you used the card I gave you, why did you return the items and buy them again?”

As messages popped up on his phone, reminding him of the previous refunds, Troy realized that she had repurchased the same products with her own money.

Without turning to look at him, Imogen replied, “I can spend your money as I wish. It’s none of your business.”

Troy then inquired, “Are you upset because I accompanied Sarah shopping?”

Imogen responded, “You’ve done so much for Sarah. A simple stroll with her is the least of my

concerns.”

A mocking smile crept across Imogen’s face as she leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes.

Curious, Troy probed further, asking what was bothering her.

She pondered this question herself, feeling exhausted and hollow as if she had lost all her strength. It was as if a machine had run out of power or a phone had drained its battery and shut down.

In the past, she could delude herself into believing that Troy had genuine feelings for her during their three years of marriage. However, now whenever she sees him, Sarah’s words haunt her thoughts.

She longs to ask him why he loves Sarah so much and can’t forget her, questioning why he even married her.

Suddenly, Troy noticed a blush on the back of Imogen’s hand. Concerned, he asked, “What happened to your hand?”

“I got burned while eating,” Imogen replied.
