Chapter 217
Chapter 217 You Never Liked Liam Before
After Erik left, all the delicious food on the table was left for Imogen and Grace.
Imogen felt a little relieved, d that she didn’t have to face Erik anymore.
Grace was also very happy, happily eating her meat.
Her mouth was oily, and her hands were covered in shrimp juice from peeling the shrimp. She
looked up at Imogen and said, “Isn’t it lunchtime? He’s so busy.”
“He needs to work and earn money,” Imogen replied.
“But he doesn’t have time to apany you. Don’t you feel lonely? My uncle is rich and has
time…”
Imogen stuffed a big shrimp into her mouth. “You can’t stop talking while eating.”
Grace took the shrimp out of her mouth and said quietly, “That’s how it is.”
“You’re enjoying a fancy meal treated by him…”
“My heart is with my uncle,” Grace said seriously, “It’s just one meal. How can he buy me with that?
This pork chop is so delicious!”
Imogen was speechless.
After about twenty minutes, Imogen opened her phone and sent a message to Erik: [Have you
arrived at thepany? After you’re done with work, don’t forget to eat something. Nics won’t be
so strict.]
She had to y the act fully.
It took a long time for Erik to reply: [Just saw it, thanks for reminding me.]
Erik: [I’m really sorry today. I didn’t expect to have sudden work.]
Imogenforted: [It’s okay, unexpected things happen. We’ll have a meal together when we have
time.]
Erik: [Are you free this Saturday?]
Imogen guessed what he meant and replied: [Yes.]
Erik: [Can I treat you to a meal at noon that day?]
Imogen agreed.
Erik sent a message attached with a happy emoji: [Great, see you on Saturday.]
Imogen: [See you on Saturday.]
Grace, who was busy eating, noticed Imogen ying with her phone. Grace looked up and pouted.
“Hmph.”
Imogen nced at her and pinched her pouting face, asking, “What’s wrong?”
“I want to go with you for the meal on Saturday,” Grace said firmly, looking up with her determined
little face.
“As a third wheel?”
“Hmph, I don’t care, I want to go.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll take you.”
She might not be able to act in front of Erik alone for one to two hours.
So it would be better to bring Grace along and divert Erik’s attention by taking care of Grace. After
finishing the meal, Imogen took Grace to the zoo for a visit.
The New York City Zoo has an eastern and western area, with the western area having more
attractions. The eastern area is a rockery, with separate sections for lions and tigers.
The tigers were white tigers, looking majestic.
At the entrance of the zoo, there were vendors selling tiger plush toys in three different styles. They
were soft and chubby, very cute,
Grace stopped in front of the stall and looked up at Imogen with her big eyes.
“Do
you want it?”
Grace nodded eagerly
“Then I will buy it for you.”
With three chubby tiger plush toys in hand, Grace hugged them excitedly, saying, “Thank you!”
Once they got in the car, Grace still held onto the plush toys, not willing to let them go.
“Are we going to eat now?”
“Yes, I will take you to eat grilled meat. How about that?”
“Great!”
However, Grace got too tired from ying. She hadn’t slept at noon, and she started dozing off in
the back seat before they even reached the restaurant. She tried to make her eyes stay open.
“Imogen. I’m so sleepy. I really want to sleep.”
Imogen thought for a moment. It wouldn’t be good for Grace to sleep again right after finishing a
meal. So Imogen said, “Grace, hold on for a little while longer. You can sleep when we get home.
We’ll have grilled meat another day.”
“Okay…”
Grace’s voice was like a mosquito’s buzz. She was already unable to keep her eyes open, lying in
the back seat.
Imogen decided to change direction and headed to Gxy Vi instead.
The car was parked in front of the vi.
Imogen got out of the driver’s seat, opened the back door, and bent down to pick up Grace.
Imogen thought, “Oh my, she’s so heavy.”

Especially in the winter, Grace was wearing thick clothes.
Imogen carried Grace and took a few steps forward. Her arms started to ache, and the little girl in
her arms slowly slid down.
Imogen held her up again and walked faster, shouting, “Sue,e out…”
When they were close to the living room door, Sue quickly came out and caught Grace, who was
about to fall from Imogen’s arms. /
Imogen helped to support Grace.
Grace woke up groggily, rubbed her eyes, saw that it was Sue holding her, looked around, and
saw Imogen. Grace reached out her hand toward Imogen, her voice showing a bit of sleepiness.
“Imogen.”
Imogen held Grace’s h?nd, followed Sue upstairs, and said, “I’m here.”
Grace closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Sue put nket.
Grace on the bed, helped her take off her shoes, coat, and pants, and covered her with a
Grace opened her eyes again, caught sight of Imogen by the bedside, and said, “Imogen, please
don’t go?”
Imogen sat down by the bed and said, “I won’t leave. I will wait until you fall asleep before leaving.”
After saying that, she turned to Sue and said, “Sue, there are three plush toys in the back seat of
the car. I bought them for Grace. Could you please bring them here?”
Sue nodded and turned to get them.
Grace closed her eyes, feeling at ease.
After a few minutes, a steady breathing sound came.
Imogen sat for a few more minutes. She waited for Grace to fall into a deep sleep, then got up
quietly, closed the door gently, and left.
When she reached the stairs, she paused.
Troy was standing downstairs, about toe up.
Their eyes met.

scended to thest step, but Troy didn’t move to make way. She sidestepped and eezed through
the gap.
All of a sudden, Troy grabbed her wrist.
“What are you doing?” Imogen paused, looking at her with a faint expression.
Troy hesitated for a moment, carefully observing Imogen’s expression. “I heard that Liam is rumored
to be dating a female celebrity recently.”
Troy thought, “She clearly likes Liam, so why did she tell Grace that she likes Erik?”
Troy really wanted to ask, but he couldn’t. It would expose Grace.
Imogen asked, “So what?” Her expression was asking, “Are you crazy?”
What did it have to do with her?
Troy looked at her fixedly. “Don’t you like Liam?”
Imogen hesitated for a moment before realizing that she still had thebel of liking Liam. “I don’t like
him anymore. Is that not okay?”
Troy pursed her lips. “You never liked Liam in the first ce, did you?”
He suddenly realized that he had misunderstood one thing all along.
Imogen had mentioned before that she liked someone.
At that time, Troy didn’t fully understand his own feelings, but he felt very ufortable. Liam,
who was close to Imogen, made him feel jealous, and he subconsciously thought that Imogen

liked Liam. He even tried to persuade Imogen several times.
Imogen never denied it though, and even deliberately provoked him with Liam.
He was particrly jealous of Liam and became more convinced of his misunderstanding.
However, Imogen had also mentioned that the person she liked didn’t like her back.
During their previous encounter at the restaurant, Liam had said, “Then I’ll wait for you for a
lifetime.”
Obviously, Liam liked Imogen.
So, the person Imogen liked wasn’t Liam!
Troy should have understood it. Imogen and Liam only recognized each other within the past two
years.
She didn’t have any rtionships during college, but during her teenage years, how could she not
have liked someone?
Who was that person?!
Was it the man who made her pregnant during college, so she willingly gave birth to the child?!
