Chapter 180 The Perfect Match
Troy’s body stiffened, his fingers trembling. He stared at the screen for a long while before finally
offering a curt reply. [No.]
Staring at the phone screen, he spent a long time waiting for Imogen’s response. He felt all strung
up, and a sense of restlessness crept over him.
He was afraid Imogen would see through him, yet he also feared she wouldn’t.
Meanwhile, Imogen, staring at her screen, found it even more perplexing.
Thest message only heightened her suspicion.
“Could it really be that he is Yann’s friend? Why would Yann’s friend be the one responding to
Yann’s messages? His mysterious friend who had never shown himself…” She pondered.
The image of a certain figure shed through her mind.
She chuckled self–deprecatingly, shaking her head and wondering why she kept thinking about
him.
“Imogen, aren’t you tired? Why didn’t you go back and rest?” Charlie and Alex came upstairs and
saw Imogen standing by the stairs with her phone.
“Oh, I found the room a bit stuffy, so I came out for some fresh air.”
“Stuffy? In the room? Couldn’t she just open the window? It’s a perfect chance to see the northern
lights.”
Charlie looked at Imogen suspiciously and dashed over like a bolt of lightning, quickly ncing at
Imogen’s phone.
Imogen swiftly switched the screen off.
Still, she wasn’t quick enough.
Charlie caught a glimpse of Yann’s name, where the Facebook contact name was listed.
She grinned impishly. “Oh, so you’re chatting with Yann behind our backs! No wonder!”
Imogen could tell that Charlie was misunderstanding the situation. “It’s not what you just…”
think. I
Charlie wasn’t going to buy any of Imogen’s exnations. “No need to exin. I get it. Yann is tall
and handsome, maybe not as rich as that dimwit, but he has a wealthy friend, so he’s definitely
poor. You can give him a shot, especially since he seems quite well–endowed…”
not
The conversation was all over the ce.
“It’s really not what you’re thinking. I just find him a bit strange.”
After hearing Imogen’s words, Charlie pped her thigh. “I know what’s strange about him!”
“What is it?”
“Do you remember someone bumped into you at the airport before we departed for Oslo? If I
remember correctly, that person was Yann. He must have fallen for you at first sight, then. That’s
why you find him odd!”
Imogen was taken aback. “Really?”
“Of course, it’s true. You were lost in thought at the time and didn’t pay attention to what he
looked like.”
Imogen wondered if that was the case.
“Was it because Yann fell for me at first sight that he followed me all the way here? Was that why he
often stared at me? Is this even a valid exnation?” She thought.
Then, another message arrived from Yann, exining. [I went to the restroom just now. That was
my friend, and he’s feeling a bit down due to a broken heart. Seeing me so popr with thedies,
he got jealous and made a joke. Sorry about that. I came here this time to keep himpany. Let’s
hang out together sometime in the future.]
Imogen felt somewhat puzzled, wondering if she was overthinking things.
At that moment, Alex added, “What about Liam? I think Liam and Imogen are a better match.”
Imogen felt a bit helpless. “What does Liam have to do with this?”
Alex waved her phone at Imogen. “He just messaged me, saying he’sing to find us.”
Since thest time Alex, Imogen, and Liam had dinner together, Alex had been quite supportive of
the two of them. It was clear that Liam had some feelings for Imogen.
“Huh?” Imogen was surprised, “Isn’t he filming?”
“He’s done with his part and would have to make a brief public appearance in France, but he has a
day off, so he wants toe find us tomorrow. His schedule is quite tight, so he’s probablying
for you.”
Charlie was surprised. “So you and Liam…”
“There’s nothing between us! We’re just friends!” Imogen denied it quickly. The situation was
already giving her a headache.
“Why are you so worked up?”
Alex said, “He’s short on time, so he probably won’t be able toe here. We’ve pretty much
explored this area, so how about we head back to Tromso now, have a meal with him, and then
go directly to Ringvassoya?”
“Sounds good!” Charlie immediately agreed and teased Imogen, “Oh my god, our little Imogen has
just gotten a divorce, but she’s already got suitors, three of them in a row!”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“All right, all right, I’ll stop. Anyway, it’s your choice. I think both Yann and Liam are great
catches!”
Imogen didn’t know what to say.
Liam sent his flight information to Alex.
With some time to spare, Alex and the others rested for a few hours in the hotel before leaving
Sommaroy.
After leaving their luggage at the hotel, they drove straight to the airport. After waiting for about
twenty minutes, they saw Liaming out of the terminal.
He wore a cap and a ck mask, carried no luggage, and even though he was dressed in a long
ck down jacket, he didn’t look too bulky in it.
Alex waved at him.
As soon as Liam got to the car, he first looked at Imogen in the back seat through the front
window and lowered his mask halfway. “Did I dy your trip?”
He breathed out white mist as he spoke, his voice pleasant.
“No,” Alex said. “We’ve already gone around Sommaroy and were nning toe back. Get in
the car.”
Liam opened the back door and sat down next to Imogen.
He wasn’t very familiar with Charlie. He nodded at her and then turned to Imogen, asking, “Imogen,
are you feeling better now?”
“I’m much better now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared toe on this trip. How about you? I
heard you’ve finished filming already. That was fast.”
“A while ago, there was a change in the female lead, right? They cut her part, and the casting
process takes time. My scenes were moved up, so I finished filming ahead of schedule.”
Charlie couldn’t help but quip, “The third wheel got what she deserved.”
Liam nced at her and chuckled. “But now, there’s a rumor going around in the industry that Troy
is going to marry Sarah. His family doesn’t want Sarah to appear in public again, so all her work
assignments were canceled, and she hasn’t been seen in public for some time.”
Upon hearing that, Imogen’s gaze dropped, and her fair fingers, clutching her purse, tightened
slightly.
“So he’s finally going to marry Sarah,” she thought.
She had been guessing that Yann’s friend was Troy, so she was suddenly feeling ridiculous for
herself for being presumptuous.
All the while, Liam was carefully observing Imogen’s expression. Seeing how unfazed she seemed
to be, he felt a hint of delight, holding out hope that she might have moved on.
“In that case, do I have a chance now?” He wondered.

“That trash of a man and that cheap woman make for a perfect match!” Charlie cursed under her
breath.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the four of them sat down and ordered a few dishes each.
They had been to that restaurant and thought the food was quite good.
Liam closed the menu and handed it to the waiter before asking the three women, “We don’t get to
spend much time together this time. When are you guys heading back? Let’s meet up again once
we’ve all gone back!”
“Alex will be heading back earlier, probably around the middle of the month. As for me and Charlie,
we’re thinking of visiting other ces after this.”
Liam raised an eyebrow. “Any ns on where to go?”
“Not yet.”
“How about Australia? I remember that when you were little, you said you wanted to go to
Australia.”
Imogen raised an eyebrow, “You remember that? I forgot about it a long time ago.”
Back then, she didn’t really understand what she was saying. Saying she wanted to go to Australia
was probably just a passing remark.
“I definitely remember. You saw a newspaper at my ce with a picture of the Sydney Opera House
on it. You pointed at the picture and said you wanted to visit there when you grow up.”
Charlie’s gaze shifted between the two of them. “Sure thing, Imogen. Let’s go to Australia then.
It’s a great time for traveling there now.”
“Okay.” Imogen agreed.

Liam smiled and said, “By then, I should have some time too. I’ll join you guys.”
