“I want to renegotiate the divorce agreement with you. Come to the study,” Troy said calmly.
“Okay,” Imogen replied.
Imogen put the towel back, followed Troy out, closed the door, and walked to the study.
In the study, Troy found the electronic version of the original divorce agreement and added a few new
contents. He made space in front of the screen for Imogen to see. “Come and take a look at the
changes I’ve made,” he said.
Imogen leaned forward and examined the redlined content on the screen.
The first new rule stated that both parties would not leave the home after divorce. They were required
to continue living together at Midtown Vi even after obtaining the divorce certificate. The second rule
demanded that Imogen help Troy conceal their divorce from his parents. If necessary, she had to
apany him as a husband and wife to the old house, pretending to maintain a married appearance
until his parents were aware of the divorce.
Article 2 stated that both parties were forbidden from discussing their past marriage or divorce outside
of their home.
Article 3 specified that while living together at Midtown Vi, neither party was allowed to invite other
men or women to spend the night there.
Another significant change was in the division of property. Initially, Imogen was entitled to 20 million
dors, two vis, and two luxury cars. Now, the agreement had been modified to give her 50 million
dors, along with two vis and two luxury cars.
Imogen reviewed each newly added item and expressed her objections. “I have concerns about the
first item. The agreement states that we have to continue living in Midtown Vi until our grandparents
know about the divorce. What if they never find out? Does that mean we’re forced to stay together
forever? And you can’t openly be with Sarah. What’s the point of getting divorced.
then?”
Troy responded, “We can add a time constraint to it.”
Imogen calcted the time and proposed, “Within two months of the divorce, we must inform our
grandparents about our separation. After that period, we are free to move to another ce and live
separately.”
Troy’s eyes darkened as he reluctantly agreed, “Okay.”
Two monthster, she would be in a hurry to leave this ce. She wondered if she should feel hatred
towards him in her heart.
Imogen pointed to the property division and said, “The original amount is enough. I don’t need any
more money.”
“That’s mypensation for breaking my promise to you. I want to make amends,” Troy insisted, and
Imogen didn’t argue further. She just wanted to finalize the divorce agreement as soon as possible.
After confirming the details, Troy reprinted two copies of the divorce agreement.
Both of them signed the agreements, each keeping a copy for themselves.
“Alright,” Imogen signed her name without hesitation, holding her copy. “If everything is settled,
go back to
my room. Remember to get the divorce certificate on Monday.”

“Okay,” Troy responded calmly.
As soon as Imogen returned to her room with the divorce agreement, she closed the door and leaned
her back against it. In an instant, she felt her strength waning, and she sat down on the floor.
Her fingers trembled as she tightly held her heart, feeling suffocated by the pain.
For ten years, she had loved him. How could she suddenly im not to like him anymore?
The impending divorce made everything feel irrelevant. The three–year marriage seemed neither long
nor short. Perhaps they weren’t destined tost in this marriage.
While emotions still lingered, they chose to part ways early, so that these three years of marriage could
be a beautiful memory.
Imogen wanted to ensure that when she looked back on this marriage, there would be more than just
hatred and resentment.
The weight of it all kept her awake, as insomnia took over.

Shey in bed, tossing and turning, as scenes from the past
flooded her mind. Memories of his gentleness, intelligence, thoughtfulness, romance, passion,
wildness, and indifference surfaced one after another.

One memory stood out in particr. It was the anniversary celebration of the Marshall Group of
Companies. She had drunk a ss of wine handed over by someone, feeling dizzy, and went to rest
upstairs at the hotel. In a haze, a muscr guy’s arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her close. The
night that followed was filled with scattered and sensual images, leaving asting impression
in her mind.
Grandpa Henry had known about their affair and approached them with a thoughtful solution: to
get
married. They didn’t hold a grand wedding but instead had a simple meal with the Marshall family at the
old house before getting their marriage certificate. She officially became Troy’s wife, and in her heart,
she felt an overwhelming happiness. She had married the man she had loved for years, someone who
she could only look up to in admiration.
Before marriage, their interactions were limited. When she saw him, all she could manage was to call
him ‘Elder Brother.‘ His responses were typically brief, with a simple “um” or a nod. On a few
asions, he would ask, “How are Imogen’s grades now?” Though it seemed like a question asked by
a distant rtive, it filled her heart with sweetness for days.
Imogen was determined to impress him and worked hard to improve herself. At first, she simply hoped
to catch his attention, but as time passed, she longed to walk proudly by his side.
After getting married, she remained cautious, afraid of disappointing him. However, Troy was patient
and understanding, gently guiding her on how to be a good wife. They grew closer and their lives
became sweeter.
Reflecting on those times, she realized that he had subtly expressed his feelings in certain instances.
After marriage, he started buying condoms regrly, which made Imogen wonder if he had any
intentions of starting a family with her. One year into their marriage, feeling that their life had stabilized,
she brought up the idea of having a child. However, his response was rather cold, stating that it was not
the right time yet, leaving her confused about when the right time would

In hindsight, Imogen feared that he had never truly considered having a child with her. She believed
that in his eyes, only Sarah could give birth to his child. Looking back, she could see that

there was ack of warmth in his gaze during that conversation, indicating his disinterest in starting a
family with her.
Three years passed swiftly, leaving Imogen feeling like a lone spectator in a silent movie. She still
couldn’t touch his heart, as it remained impervious to her. The realization left her with no choice but to
smile and bid farewell to the past, which now felt empty like a dream.
Imogen found herself lost in her thoughts when the phone rang, jolting her back to reality. It was past
three o’clock in the morning, and Riley was calling her, telling her that Troy had run off to drink with her.
Worried that he might be seriously ill, Riley insisted that Imogene to pick him.

Though hesitant, Imogen eventually agreed, feeling frustrated by his actions. She questioned why he
chose to go out for drinks at this hour instead of drinking at home. The dreamlike moment of her
past feelings had been abruptly reced by the reality of the situation.
Frustrated and confused, Imogen now had to face the present and the uncertainty of her future with
Troy.
