Chapter 129 Then Who Do You Like?

Imogen clenched her hand.

As if sensing her thoughts, Leo spoke up, “Don’t worry, Grandpa is not an unreasonable person. He only wishes for your happiness, and I will help persuade him…”

“I…” Imogen was about to say something when footsteps approached from behind, accompanied by Troy’s voice, “Imogen? Why haven’t you gone back yet? Is Leo here too?”

Leo smiled at Troy and said, “I was just having a chat with Imogen.”

Leo had a gentle temperament, and Imogen found that she and Leo got along better when she stayed at the Marshall villa.

Troy didn’t suspect anything and simply told Imogen, “I noticed that you didn’t eat much earlier. Go back and have some more.”

“Okay,” Imogen replied calmly.

Leo’s gaze shifted between them for two seconds before he spoke again, “I’ll head back too. Otherwise Agnes will suspect that I’ve been smoking outside.”

Troy noticed the cigarette butt on the ground, and his lips curved slightly.

Leo whispered, “Don’t tell her.”

“You smell like smoke.” Troy said while raising an eyebrow.

Leo paused for a moment, then sniffed his shoulder helplessly. “I’ll go for a walk outside before coming back.”

After lunch, two cars drove out from the Marshall villa and stopped at the cemetery.

Ever since they started coming to the cemetery, Troy had been silent.

It had always been this way in previous years.

At first, she was puzzled. Troy grew up by his grandfather’s side, and his father had passed away early, so she didn’t expect him to have such deep longing, even after more than ten years.

But now she understood.

Leo put flowers in front of the tombstone.

“Dad, Mom, Agnes and I brought Wesley to see you! Wesley, call Grandpa, Grandma.” Wesley looked at the gravestone, still naive but obediently calling out, “Grandpa. Grandma.” Meanwhile, Troy only squatted down to put flowers without saying a word. He didn’t even call out ‘dad‘. Whether it was due to a lack of emotional attachment or because Leo was present, Imogen couldn’t tell.

Imogen watched Troy’s silent figure and felt a mixture of complex emotions.

After paying their respects, they drove back to the city.
