    Chapter 15: Never bear again


    Instead of lingering in the awkward atmosphere, Imogen tried to put their attention to something


    else. She grabbed the dish near the older Marshall man and served it to him.


    “Look, Grandpa. You love sweet and sour eggnt, right? You should try this.”


    Her action lifted the mood. “Our dear Imogen remembers your favorite! I’m jealous!” The old woman


    eximed.


    “You’re still the same sweetdy,” Grandpa Marshall uttered and picked the chopsticks, smiling.


    “Unlike some heartless person there who only makes me angry. I think his purpose is to frustrate


    me to death.”


    However, instead of saying anything, thebeled “ungrateful” Troy remained silent.


    “Grandpa, don’t say that you’ll live a long life.”


    Imogen’s life was pretty eventful. Her parents were divorced, and her father got custody. It was


    because her mother did not want her at all. So years following their split, she had never met her


    Mom.


    Growing up, she witnessed her father being so busy with work while she was living in her

    grandparent’s house in the countryside. But a few yearster, they passed away one after another,


    and she was taken by her father once again.


    Her miseries did not stop there because, at 16, her father also left, and she was utterly alone. That


    was when the older Marshalls, her now grandparents, came into the picture. They gave her warmth


    and a home toe back to.


    So hearing death from their mouths pained her. She didn’t want to bear the pain of losing another


    loved one. That was why no one was very eager to pray that the older man and woman of the


    Marshall Family would have a longer life than Imogen.


    After the meal, except for Troy, the other three were exceptionally happy and content.


    While she was there, Imogen thought of ways to make the old man and the olddy happy. Looking


    at them from a third point of view, they appeared like a real family with smiles all over


    their faces.


    They were in the middle of sharing stories when one of the maids went near Imogen. “Miss Forbes’s


    arrival here made the old man much more energetic.”


    After the meal, Imogen apanied Troy’s grandfather to y chess.


    The old man taught her how to y chess, and he basically taught her ways to gain good ying


    skills, and surprisingly, she made rapid progress. Even Grandpa Marshall himself dared not take


    her lightly as an opponent. He was serious as they yed.


    “Grandpa, no way! You’re ying tricks,”


    The old Grandpa of the Marshalls apologeticallyughed while Imogen whined in


    discontentedness. But in the end, they saw themselvesughing because of how the game was


    going.


    “I won’t be easy on you, Imogen. I haven’t dropped the chess yet.” The old man rightfully squeezed


    the white piece back on the chessboard and ced it in another ce.


    “Are you sure you’re cing it there?”


    He nced at Imogen, hesitated momentarily, and nodded, “I’m sure.”

    Chapter 15: Never bear again.


    Imogen immediately pinched the ck spot in her hand andughed happily. “Grandpa, you lost!”


    Grandpa Marshall’s eyes widened, not realizing that Imogen had tricked him. He returned the white


    one and threw Imogen’s ck one back into the box. “No, no, no, that doesn’t count. I made a


    mistake. I made a mistake.”


    On the side. Troy looked at the energetic Imogen and then peeked at the mischievous old man with


    a slight smile on his lips.


    In front of his brothers, the older man always looked stern, but looking at his grandfather now, it


    seemed only Imogen could turn him into a stubborn child.


    Suddenly. Imogen pointed at Troy and proimed, “Grandpa, he’s mocking you!”


    That was when the older man nced over, and the smile on Troy’s face instantly froze.


    “You brat, how dare youugh at me? Why don’t you go to pour water for Imogen and me? All you


    know is stand there foolishly!”


    Troy sighed. He could not believe the attention was on him again. Let alone theplete shift of


    attitude when his grandfather treated his wife and him.


    But as ordered, he went to pour water for them, and behind him came Imogen’s unrestrained


    laughter.


    Troy’s demeanor darkened.
