Chapter 98
Chapter 98 Already Broken
After work, Imogen originally wanted to take a taxi to the clubhouse, but unexpectedly, Troy came to
pick her up.
After getting in the car, Troy exined unusually, “The afternoon session ended early, so I’m here
to pick you up.”
Imogen understood, looking at the receding street scene outside the window.
When she came back to her senses, the car had stopped.
Imogen looked left and right out of the window but found that they hadn’t arrived at the clubhouse
yet.
Just when she was about to ask, Troy had already opened the door and got out of the car. “What
are you doing?” Imogen asked as she got out of the car.
Troy took Imogen’s hand and walked to the nearby jewelry chain store. “Shopping.”
Shopping? What to buy?
Imogen was curious but didn’t ask more.
As soon as the two opened the door and entered, the manager of the jewelry store greeted them
with a smile, “Mr. Marshall, Ms. Forbes, hurry up and sit down, please. If you have any jewelry you
want to see, I’ll ask them to take it here.”
The manager was also surprised.
Yesterday some entertainment news was still reporting that Troy appeared at Sarah’s birthday party,
but today he was shopping with another woman.
It was really difficult to understand the love life of these rich people.
Although surprised, the manager didn’t dare to show it at all. She acted respectfully.
Troy sat down on the sofa and said, “Let me take a look at thetest couple rings.”
Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
“Okay, Mr. Marshall, Ms. Forbes, wait a moment, please.” The manager called the clerk to send the
two of them some drinks and hurriedly went to get the rings herself.
Couple rings?
Did he have friends who were getting married?
Imogen sat on the sofa and took a sip of water, flipped through her Facebook, and replied work
messages to her assistant.
The manager brought several new pairs of couple rings, put them on the table, and then introduced
them one by one, “Mr. Marshall, please take a look. These are new products of our brand this year,
and they are trendy among young couples. Especially this one, it’s unique in design, also elegant
and high–profile. It had been ordered a lotst month.”
As she said that, the manager took out the women’s ring herself, put it on her own finger, and -
showed it to Troy.
“How about it? Mr. Marshall.”
“What do
you think?” Troy looked at Imogen beside him.
The store manager hurriedly moved to Imogen’s side.
Imogen raised her head, nced at the ring on the manager’s hand, and nodded. “Yes, it’s
suitable as a gift.”

Seeing her perfunctory attitude, Troy took the phone from Imogen’s hand and turned it off. “It’s not a
gift.”
Imogen nced at him interrogatively and took the phone from his hand. “Then what’s it for?” Troy
pursed his lips, held Imogen’s hand, and inteced her fingers.
He looked at their fingers. “Don’t you think something is missing?”
Imogen was stunned for seconds before realizing that Troy wanted to buy a pair of rings for
themselves.
Imogen looked at the pair of rings iid with diamonds on the te, but she didn’t feel surprises at
all, nor did she have much desire to choose one.
any
She would be pleased if Troy could give her a pair of rings on her wedding anniversary, even if it
was a random one.
However, on that day, what he gave her was a bracelet.
And it was already broken.
But now, another crack had been added to their rtionship.
The memory of that night was now like a thorn in her heart.
And when the thorn got stuck into the flesh, it would cause a dull pain from time to time.
Their current harmony was barely maintained with a bad grace.
It was like a cigarette butt that had been burned once and turned into ashes as soon as it was
touched and would be blown away in the wind.
The manager was shocked, but she also felt that it was expected.
Imogen was adopted by the Marshall family. She had been in the Marshall family for ten years and
had a close rtionship with the elders in the family. Maybe it was the elders who wanted to match
the two.
As for Sarah, an actress, Troy was probably just ying with her.
Troy looked at Imogen in a daze, picked a women’s ring from the ring te, lifted Imogen’s left
hand, put the ring on her finger, looked around twice, and asked, “Do you like it?”
Imogen returned to her senses, raised her head, and then met Troy’s eyes.
The chandelier in the room was exquisite and bright, reflecting in Troy’s eyes. His eyes seemed
extraordinarily gentle.
Imogen avoided his gaze and looked at her left hand.
Under the light, the huge diamond shined so brilliantly that she couldn’t even keep her eyes
open.
The manager immediately rmended enthusiastically, “Mr. Marshall is really discerning. The
design and workmanship of this diamond ring are master–level and very unique. Ms. Forbes‘ fingers
are the most beautiful that I have ever seen. Her skin is so fair, and her fingers are so long. This
one is the most suitable one for her temperament.”
Imogen looked at her left hand and shook her head slightly. “It’s too exaggerated, not suitable for
everyday wear.”
Troy said, “You can choose two pairs. One pair for collection and one pair for everyday wear.” The
manager’s eyes lit up when she heard these words, and she hurriedly echoed to Troy, “Ms. Forbes,
Mr. Marshall is so kind to you. This ring looks so nice on you, and your hands look shining

and thin, which means that Mr. Marshall thinks highly of you. The corresponding men’s ring is also
very gorgeous, low–key yet majestic. If you think it is exaggerated, this pair of rings is also new,
especially suitable for daily wear.”
The store manager picked up another ordinary ring and highly rmended it.
Troy took the diamond ring from Imogen’s hand and put on that ordinary ring. “How is it?”
This ring was said to be ordinary, butpared to other rings, the diamond was still bigger, about
one carat in size.
Imogen casually looked at the other rings on the te and said, “This one is fine.”
“Okay, let me measure your fingers,” The manager said with a smile.
She nced at Troy secretly and sighed that the ring with that huge diamond was not sold this
time.
Then she heard Troy say, “These two, please.”
“Okay, okay!” The manager immediately smiled, and her attitude was almost like treating Troy as a
god. “Mr. Marshall, Ms. Forbes, do you need to carve some words on the rings?”
“No need,” Imogen said.
In case one day she would divorce Troy, it would waste a lot of money if she sold the ring.
“Okay, Mr. Marshall and Ms. Forbes, we will process and customize as soon as possible, and I will
contact you two again at that time.”
“Hmm.” Troy said slightly, looking at Imogen beside him, “Is there anything else you want? Go and
pick one?”
The manager immediately said, “Ms. Forbes, we recently arrived some new nes in our store.
Shall I show them to you?”
Imogen shook her head. “No need, let’s go.”
Troy took Imogen’s hand, stood up, and was ready to leave.
“Goodbye, take care!” The manager sent them to the door.
The two returned to the car.
And the car started moving.
“Why do you suddenly want to buy the couple rings?” Imogen nced at Troy beside her.
“Nothing. I just suddenly realized that we had been married for three years but still didn’t have
rings.”
He held her hand, inteced his five fingers into her fingers, and looked at her under the dim light.
“Imogen, I know that in the past three years, I have not fulfilled the responsibility of being a
husband. And you have been forgiving me all the time. In theing days, I will make up for you
and make up for what wecked before.”
Although, that day, Imogen let go and said to see his performance.
But Troy still noticed that Imogen seemed to see him, as usual, these days.
In fact, there was an invisible and intangible barrier between the two.
The cracks were already there, and it was hard to return to how they used to be.
She couldn’t trust him with all her heart as before.
Imogen smiled at him, then turned to look outside the car.
