Chapter 27: Coming Away With Him
After returning to the bedroom, Imogen decided to take a nap to rest her weary mind.
Around three oâclock in the afternoon, Troy hurriedly returned home. He went straight to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. In the corner, he noticed a pile of gifts and asked the aunt, âHas anyone been here today?â
The aunt replied truthfully, âOne of Madamâs friends came by earlier.â
Troy raised an eyebrow, sensing that there was more to the story. âAnd then?â
âMadam asked me to refer to her as âMissâ in front of her friend.â
Troy furrowed his brow, understanding that Imogenâs 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 turnâoff.
Troy took a sip of water, then inquired further, âTell me about the manâs appearance.â
âHe looked like a celebrity on TV,â the aunt replied, recognizing Liam but not being able to recall
his name.
A star, Troy thought, recalling how Liam had disguised himself during their last encounter at the studio entrance.
It confirmed that Liam was indeed the person Imogen liked.
Troy finished his water, put down the glass, 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 Troyâs return. But now, after waiting for so long, his arrival didnât 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 couldnât wait any longer.
âWake up.â Troy approached and sat by the bed.
âHmmâ Imogen let out a hesitant grunt and sat up from the bed, her mind filled with questions about why Troy hadnât returned the night before yesterday or last night.
However, as she was about to voice her concerns, her attention was immediately drawn to Troyâs disheveled clothes, particularly his shirt, which had numerous wrinkles and a faint lip print on the collar.
She slowly approached him, taking a careful sniff and recognizing the scent of the womanâs perfume on his body â the same perfume Sarah frequently used. In an instant, Imogen felt as if her world had collapsed, leaving her stunned and speechless.
She had suspected that Troy and Sarah might have a close relationship, but seeing the evidence with her own eyes was something she couldnât 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 collar seemed to taunt her nakedly, mocking her pain.
In an outburst of emotion, Imogen couldnât hold back any longer and shouted, âDonât come near me!â
Overwhelmed by her emotions, she retched and lay by the bed, struggling to control her nausea.
Troy rushed to her side, holding out a trashcan to help her. As he approached, Imogenâs reactions intensified.
He quickly realized what was happening and, turning his head away, he said to her, âIâll go change my clothes.â
Imogen continued to retch for a few minutes but couldnât bring herself to vomit. Instead, she shed tears of frustration.
After showering and changing into fresh clothes, Troy returned to the bedroom, finding Imogenâs temperature had seemingly returned to normal.
He felt the need to explain himself, saying, âYou misunderstood me. I didnât have anything to do with her.â
âTroy, I need to talk to you,â Imogen finally managed to say, her voice trembling with emotion.
Imogen interrupted him calmly, her emotions now under control. She realized that dealing with Troyâs volatile 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 explanations. After all, what was the point? They were both getting divorced, and it was evident that he would eventually be with Sarah.
âGo ahead.â Troyâs revelation broke the silence in the bedroom.
âAfter we finalize our divorce tomorrow, I want to resign.â
Imogen nodded earnestly, confirming her decision, âYes, I want to.â

Chapter 27.2 Coming With Him
Troy seemed puzzled and asked, âWhat are you going to do after resigning? Isnât being the brand director of McKesson a good position for you?â
Imogen replied confidently, âI have my plans. Youâve left me enough money in the divorce agreement; I donât need to work.â
Troy was taken aback by this unexpected reason. Although her grandparents had provided her with a comfortable life and enough pocket money, Imogen had always been a hardworking individual who preferred to be selfâreliant.
Troy hesitated, âIf you donât explain your plan clearly, I canât agree to your resignation. And believe me, if Grandpa finds out about this, he wonât let me agree either.â
Imogen took a moment gather her thoughts and explained, âI understand your concerns, but Iâve thought this through. After the divorce, I plan to focus on pursuing my true passion, which is starting my own business. Iâve always dreamt of having a small boutique where I can curate and sell unique and artistic items that Iâm passionate about. Itâs something that excites me, and with the financial security from the divorce agreement, I believe I can make it a reality.â 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.
âI had no idea about your plans,â he admitted. âBut if this is what you truly want, I wonât stand in your way. Iâll support your decision and help you in any way I can.â
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 clarity, Imogen was ready to take the first steps toward building her own future.
âI donât have any plans either,â Imogen confessed, her voice tinged with weariness. âIâve been feeling a bit drained over the past few years, and I want to take this opportunity to travel abroad and find some relaxation. Staying here, even after the divorce, would mean weâd have to keep pretending to be a couple in front of our grandparents. Itâs like a chain holding us back.â
Troy raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on her. âIs it because working with Sarah has become tiring for you?â
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.
âStay a little longer. Once Sarahâs endorsement contract is over, Iâll give you a break,â Troy suggested.
However, Imogen remained firm in her decision. âI donât want a break; I want to resign.â
Troyâs voice grew deeper, a mix of concern and frustration evident. âImogen, donât play games
with me.â
âIâm not playing games,â she replied, trying to convey her sincerity.
A moment of silence passed between them as Troy seemed to be contemplating her words. Then, he brought up a topic that caught Imogen off guard.
âYour friend came home today.â
Chapter 27.2 Coming With Him
Confused, Imogen asked, âHmm? Who are you referring to?â
âHe,â Troy clarified. âThe guy who visited you..â
âWell, I hurt my foot. He came to see me.â
Realizing he meant Liam, Imogen found the situation amusing. âWhat are you suggesting? It has nothing to do with him. I want to leave for myself.â
Troy smiled, pointing out, âI heard you asked the servant to address you as âMissâ in front of him. Are you afraid he might find out youâre married?â
Noticing Imogenâs quiet demeanor, Troy said, âSomeone who truly cares for you wonât judge you for being divorced. And if someone doesnât like you, marital status wonât change that. If he judges you for your past, then perhaps you should consider if heâs the right person for you. Donât let yourself be deceived or dictated by another.â
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 manipulation, he was the last person who should be giving advice.
âItâs not his concern,â she retorted.
âYouâre still defending him. How deep are your feelings for him?â Troyâs voice carried a hint of
anger.
It was only then that Imogen understood she shouldnât have tendered her resignation when Liam had appeared. âI just wanted to quit.â
âI donât approve of your resignation.â
Anger flared within Imogen, and she shot back, âYouâre right. I wanted to leave with him. Who are you to control my decisions? You found solace with Sarah, so why canât I be with someone I like?â
