Chapter 229 She Fell in Love With Someone Else
Footsteps behind Imogen didn’t disappear until Troy went farther away.
Imogen closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She swallowed and got on the elevator silently.
Troy had said many times that he loved her, but she no longer knew whether he was lying to her or telling the truth.
However, it didn’t matter anymore.
She looked at herself reflected in the wall of the elevator. She noticed that her eyes were red at some time.
“That bastard Troy must have done it on purpose.
“He must want to soften her by saying those words before leaving.
“Oh, I definitely won’t.” Imogen thought.
Imogen stood silently in the elevator.
After some time, she returned to her senses and realized that the elevator took a long time.
Looking up, she noticed the elevator was still on the first floor. She forgot to press the button.
What a hell!
Imogen pressed the button.
After entering the door, she removed the down jacket to hang it on the hanger and changed into slippers.
Grace didn’t sleep and sat on the sofa watching cartoons. Seeing Imogen coming back, she stared. at Imogen stupidly. “Imogen, you are so beautiful!”
Imogen came over and leaned to pinch Grace’s face. “Have you washed?”
“Yeah!” Grace nodded.
“It’s time to go to bed. You can wait for me on the bed, and I will come soon.”
“Okay.”
Grace put down the laptop obediently and got into bed in her pajamas.
Imogen took a shower after removing her make–up and finished drying her hair. She lifted the quilt and sat on the bed. When turning on her phone, she noticed a message sent by Erik at some point: [Imogen, I’m home.]
Imogen replied with an emoji, put down the phone, and lay down.
Grace’s fleshy body leaned against Imogen. “Imogen, you are so beautiful today and are a perfect match with my uncle!”
Imogen asked seriously, “Grace, do you like me because of who I am or because you like your uncle who likes me?”
“It’s because I like you certainly!” With big round eyes, Grace grinned, “But it doesn’t hinder me from wanting you to be my uncle’s wife.”
“Since you like me, don’t mention your uncle anymore. It’s impossible for me to stay with him. If you mention it later, I will hate you and your uncle together. Do you understand?”
With a frozen smile, Grace gradually turned into doubts, worries, and fears. She asked cautiously, “Do you
uncle that much?”
hate my
“Yes, very much,” answered Imogen.
Little Grace hugged Imogen’s arm and whispered, “Well… I won’t mention my uncle from now
on.”
She sighed inwardly, “My uncle is really useless.
“Does he really want to let Imogen go to stay with that weak man?
“How can such a person match Imogen?”
“Good girl!” Imogen rubbed Grace’s head.
On Monday morning, Imogen sent Grace back to Galaxy Villa.
Imogen didn’t even enter the villa but let Grace walk in with a clothes bag.
Entering the living room, Grace threw the bag on the table and sat on the sofa with her mouth. pursed. “Grandma Mary, is my uncle at home?”
“No, Mr. Marshall didn’t come back last night.”
Grace kicked the table irritably and thought, “What did my uncle do?
“Did he mess something up yesterday?
“He’s really useless.”
She went to the kitchen cabinet to get a bottle of milk, drank it while sitting on the sofa, and dialed Troy’s phone number with her watch.
The bell rang for a long time.
The call didn’t connect until it was about to hang up automatically.
“Huh? Grace?” With a hoarse voice, the man slurred, which seemingly he had just woken up.
“Uncle, wake up! Where are you now?” Grace raised her voice.
Troy seemed to regain his senses. He didn’t answer it but said, “I will go home now.”
About twenty minutes later, the car drove into the courtyard of the villa.
Troy leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his temples. He got out of the car and walked into the living room.
He still wore the same clothes from yesterday, all of which were covered with folds. With a little messy hair, he smelled strongly of alcohol.
Grace hid in disgust, slapped the air before her nose with his little hand, and pursed her mouth. “Uncle, did you fall into a wine barrel?”
Troy was speechless.
Then he said, “I am going to shower and change my clothes. I’ll talk about what’s going on later.” Troy went straight up to the second floor.
Looking at Troy’s figure, Grace shrugged helplessly.
She thought, “It’s obvious that he must have had a quarrel with Imogen last night and then got drunk by himself.”
After changing his clothes, Troy wiped his hair with a towel while going downstairs. He sat down beside Grace. “Did Imogen send you back?”
Grace nodded. “Yes. Uncle. Did you quarrel with Imogen yesterday?”
Troy stopped wiping his hair and looked down. He paused for a moment. “Did she say something
to you?”
“Imogen said if I mention you in front of her again, she will hate you and me together,” answered
Grace.
“Well, you can’t mention me in front of Imogen. I said that no matter what happened between me and Imogen, it has nothing to do with you. You can continue to like Imogen if you like.” Grace was dissatisfied with Troy’s attitude and preached with a stern face, “Uncle, do you that running away is a very… spineless choice? Getting drunk alone is even worse! Why are you so timid? You shouldn’t give up regaining Imogen because of such a small difficulty!”
Troy showed a wry smile and stared blankly at the space, with Imogen’s words last night appearing in his mind. “Grace, you don’t understand it…”
know
“Humph, indeed, I don’t understand. But I know that you who gave up her first! You asked me to help you but then gave up before I quit!” Said Grace.
“Imogen, she fell in love with someone else,” said Troy.
“Just that weak man? He doesn’t match Imogen at all! Uncle, don’t you think you can’t that weak guy?” Grace showed an expression of disgust.
compare to
Troy answered patiently, “It’s not a matter of whether I can compare to him, but that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like someone, your heart will naturally lean towards him. No matter how much others do, it’s useless.”
“Didn’t Imogen like anyone else before?” Grace asked curiously.
Troy paused and said bitterly, “She had someone she liked.”
In the marriage between Troy and Imogen, Imogen liked someone else, though Troy still hasn’t found that person who hid extremely deeply.
Grace shrugged and said like a little grown–up, “Isn’t that enough? Imogen could marry you when she liked other people, so it didn’t matter whether she liked that person. The adults all say that love is one thing while marriage is another. People who love each other may not be able to be together. It is right to meet the right person at the right time. Couples can divorce, and lovers can still break up, let alone that Imogen doesn’t develop a romantic relationship with that weak man. Uncle, do you shrink now?”
Troy fell silent.
Grace’s words enlightened him.
“Grace is right. Couples can divorce, and lovers can also break up, so people in love may not be able to get together.
“Even if they get together, they will not be able to make it to the end because there are many cases in which love and marriage end in dismal endings,
“So I shouldn’t give up easily just because of Imogen’s few words.” Troy thought.
Looking at Grace, Troy couldn’t help but pat her head. “Grace, you are right. I shouldn’t give up so easily.”
Grace acted like a teacher who persuaded a bad student to go on the right path. “That’s right!” Seeing Grace’s serious face, Troy couldn’t help pinching her nose. “Grace, you are so brilliant.”
Grace smiled shyly and buried her head in Troy’s arms.
