Chapter 27: Coming Away With Him
After returning to the bedroom, Imogen decided to take a nap to rest her weary mind.
Around three o’clock in the afternoon, Troy hurriedly returned home. He went straight to the kitchen
and poured himself a ss of water. In the corner, he noticed a pile of gifts and asked the aunt,
“Has anyone been here today?”
The aunt replied truthfully, “One of Madam’s friends came by earlier.”
Troy raised an eyebrow, sensing that there was more to the story. “And then?”
“Madam asked me to refer to her as ‘Miss‘ in front of her friend.”
Troy furrowed his brow, understanding that Imogen’s friend was a man. He had a gut feeling that
this person was the one Imogen had feelings for. Pretending to be unmarried in front of him
suggested that she must have genuinely liked him, fearing that her past marriage might be a turn–
off.
Troy took a sip of water, then inquired further, “Tell me about the man’s appearance.”
“He looked like a celebrity on TV,” the aunt replied, recognizing Liam but not being able to recall
his name.
A star, Troy thought, recalling how Liam had disguised himself during theirst encounter at the
studio entrance.
It confirmed that Liam was indeed the person Imogen liked.
Troy finished his water, put down the ss, and headed straight upstairs.
Imogen had just woken up and was still lying in bed, feeling lethargic. As she gazed at the ceiling,
she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. The door opened, and Troy walked in.
If this were the same time yesterday, Imogen would have been overjoyed by Troy’s return. But now,
after waiting for so long, his arrival didn’t cause much excitement in her heart; it was more of a
confirmation.
She understood that he was probably here to finalize the divorce tomorrow.
It seemed that he couldn’t wait any longer.
“Wake up.” Troy approached and sat by the bed.
“Hmm” Imogen let out a hesitant grunt and sat up from the bed, her mind filled with questions about
why Troy hadn’t returned the night before yesterday orst night.
However, as she was about to voice her concerns, her attention was immediately drawn to Troy’s
disheveled clothes, particrly his shirt, which had numerous wrinkles and a faint lip print on the
cor.
She slowly approached him, taking a careful sniff and recognizing the scent of the woman’s
perfume on his body – the same perfume Sarah frequently used. In an instant, Imogen felt as if her
world had copsed, leaving her stunned and speechless.
She had suspected that Troy and Sarah might have a close rtionship, but seeing the evidence
with her own eyes was something she couldn’t bear.
Her nose tingled, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
That man was her Troy.
He was the only man she had ever loved.

The lip print on his cor seemed to taunt her nakedly, mocking her pain.
In an outburst of emotion, Imogen couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted, “Don’te near
me!”
Overwhelmed by her emotions, she retched andy by the bed, struggling to control her nausea.
Troy rushed to her side, holding out a trashcan to help her. As he approached, Imogen’s reactions
intensified.
He quickly realized what was happening and, turning his head away, he said to her, “I’ll go change
my clothes.”
Imogen continued to retch for a few minutes but couldn’t bring herself to vomit. Instead, she shed
tears of frustration.
After showering and changing into fresh clothes, Troy returned to the bedroom, finding Imogen’s
temperature had seemingly returned to normal.
He felt the need to exin himself, saying, “You misunderstood me. I didn’t have anything to do with
her.”
“Troy, I need to talk to you,” Imogen finally managed to say, her voice trembling with emotion.
Imogen interrupted him calmly, her emotions now under control. She realized that dealing with
Troy’s vtile temperament meant avoiding any involvement with Sarah until the formal divorce was
complete. Otherwise, the evidence of their affair would be more than just a lip print on his clothes.
However, at this moment, Imogen no longer seemed interested in listening to his exnations. After
all, what was the point? They were both getting divorced, and it was evident that he would
eventually be with Sarah.
“Go ahead.” Troy’s revtion broke the silence in the bedroom.
“After we finalize our divorce tomorrow, I want to resign.”
Imogen nodded earnestly, confirming her decision, “Yes, I want to.”

Chapter 27.2 Coming With Him
Troy seemed puzzled and asked, “What are you going to do after resigning? Isn’t being the brand
director of McKesson a good position for you?”
Imogen replied confidently, “I have my ns. You’ve left me enough money in the divorce
agreement; I don’t need to work.”
Troy was taken aback by this unexpected reason. Although her grandparents had provided her with
afortable life and enough pocket money, Imogen had always been a hardworking individual
who preferred to be self–reliant.
Troy hesitated, “If you don’t exin your n clearly, I can’t agree to your resignation. And believe
me, if Grandpa finds out about this, he won’t let me agree either.”
Imogen took a moment gather her thoughts and exined, “I understand your concerns, but I’ve
thought this through. After the divorce, I n to focus on pursuing my true passion, which is starting
my own business. I’ve always dreamt of having a small boutique where I can curate and sell unique
and artistic items that I’m passionate about. It’s something that excites me, and with the financial
security from the divorce agreement, I believe I can make it a reality.” Troy listened intently, finally
starting to understand her perspective. He knew that Imogen had always been a driven and
ambitious person, and now he could see the determination in her eyes.
“I had no idea about your ns,” he admitted. “But if this is what you truly want, I won’t stand in your
way. I’ll support your decision and help you in any way I can.”
A sense of relief washed over Imogen as she realized that despite their impending divorce and the
pain it brought, she could still count on Troy as a friend. It was time for both of them to move on with
their lives, and with newfound rity, Imogen was ready to take the first steps toward building her
own future. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
“I don’t have any ns either,” Imogen confessed, her voice tinged with weariness. “I’ve been
feeling a bit drained over the past few years, and I want to take this opportunity to travel abroad and
find some rxation. Staying here, even after the divorce, would mean we’d have to keep
pretending to be a couple in front of our grandparents. It’s like a chain holding us back.”
Troy raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on her. “Is it because working with Sarah has be tiring
for you?”
He knew how much effort Imogen had put into building McKesson, and her sudden decision to quit
the job surprised him. She had been managing well before, so why the sudden desire to give up her
career?
Imogen pursed her lips, silently acknowledging that his assumption held some truth.
“Stay a little longer. Once Sarah’s endorsement contract is over, I’ll give you a break,” Troy
suggested.
However, Imogen remained firm in her decision. “I don’t want a break; I want to resign.”
Troy’s voice grew deeper, a mix of concern and frustration evident. “Imogen, don’t y games
with me.”
“I’m not ying games,” she replied, trying to convey her sincerity.
A moment of silence passed between them as Troy seemed to be contemting her words. Then,
he brought up a topic that caught Imogen off guard.
“Your friend came home today.”
Chapter 27.2 Coming With Him
Confused, Imogen asked, “Hmm? Who are you referring to?”
“He,” Troy rified. “The guy who visited you..”
“Well, I hurt my foot. He came to see me.‘
Realizing he meant Liam, Imogen found the situation amusing. “What are you suggesting? It has
nothing to do with him. I want to leave for myself.”
Troy smiled, pointing out, “I heard you asked the servant to address you as ‘Miss‘ in front of him.
Are you afraid he might find out you’re married?”
Noticing Imogen’s quiet demeanor, Troy said, “Someone who truly cares for you won’t judge you for
being divorced. And if someone doesn’t like you, marital status won’t change that. If he judges you
for your past, then perhaps you should consider if he’s the right person for you. Don’t let yourself be
deceived or dictated by another.”
Imogen gave a faint smirk upon hearing him.
His tone was akin to a parent coaxing a defiant child.
How could he speak those words with such detachment?
When it came to deception or maniption, he was thest person who should be giving advice.
“It’s not his concern,” she retorted.
“You’re still defending him. How deep are your feelings for him?” Troy’s voice carried a hint of
anger.
It was only then that Imogen understood she shouldn’t have tendered her resignation when Liam
had appeared. “I just wanted to quit.”
“I don’t approve of your resignation.”
Anger red within Imogen, and she shot back, “You’re right. I wanted to leave with him. Who are
you to control my decisions? You found sce with Sarah, so why can’t I be with someone I like?”
