Chapter 208 Is He at The Marshall Villa?

Imogen returned home, scanning the living room but not finding Mochi.

She bent down to look under the table and indeed met a pair of round, big eyes.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

Recognizing Imogen, Mochi ventured out from under the table, meowing.

Imogen bent over, picked up the cat, and settled on the couch, stroking its fur. Pulling out her phone, she called the Marshall villa.

After a few seconds, the call was answered, and Daisy’s voice came from the other end, “Hello, Ms. Forbes?”

“Daisy, is Layla home?”

“She is. Let me hand the phone to her.”

Daisy glanced at Troy sitting on the side sofa and passed the phone to Layla.

“Imogen? Are you back from your trip? How was your time abroad? Why did you call?” Layla took the phone, motioning Troy to be quiet.

“Grandma, it’s nothing major. I just wanted to visit, but I was unsure if you’d be home, so I thought I’d call first.”

“I’m home. Come over soon, I’ve missed you,” Layla replied.

Troy’s lips curled into a bitter smile upon hearing this.

Even though he couldn’t hear Imogen’s voice, he could guess what she had said.

She wasn’t just asking if Layla was at home, she was inquiring if he was at the Marshall villa.

“By the way, Grandma, is anyone else at home?” Imogen hinted.

Layla, understanding who Imogen was referring to, shot a glance at Troy and decisively replied, “No! It’s just me and Daisy here.”
