Upon hearing Imogen’s words, Troy nodded and said, “Anything, as long as it’s not about your resignation application.”
“It’s not about that,” Imogen replied nonchalantly.
Curious, Troy asked, “Then what is it?”
“What I want is to have the authority to handle public relations related to the McKesson brand, just like before. How about that?” Imogen proposed.
Troy set down his food and fell silent.
Imogen
smiled briefly as she continue to eat slowly, “Let’s just pretend I didn’t say anything.” She knew this would be the outcome.
Troy was watching her closely, using Charlene to keep her in check. He didn’t trust her at all, doubting that she wouldn’t target Sarah. He offered, “You can make other requests.”
“No, I want nothing,” Imogen firmly responded. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Troy couldn’t even fulfill what she desired. He looked at her with a furrowed brow and remained
silent.
As the meal came to an end, Troy mentioned, “In the evening, our grandparents invited us to dinner at the old house.”
Imogen nodded and replied, “I see.”
It seemed probable that Grandpa Henry was aware of Troy‘ s recent activities, which might explain why he invited them to the old house only after Troy returned from his business trip, considering the buzz surrounding Troy and Sarah on social media.
After finishing the meal, Imogen placed her utensils down and expressed her gratitude, saying,
“Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Marshall. I’m done eating.”
Troy checked his watch and suggested, “There‘ s still some time before work. Why don’t you go to my lounge and take a nap?”
Imogen pondered for a moment and replied, “Sure.”
Her legs felt more comfortable lying down than sitting. Consequently, Imogen entered the lounge, which had a similar area to a main bedroom and was well–equipped with everything she needed.
She took off her shoes, got into bed, covered herself with a blanket, and intended to take a short rest. However, to her surprise, she accidentally fell into a deep sleep.
Upon waking up, she reached for her phone next to the pillow and realized it was already past three o‘ clock in the afternoon.
Imogen sat up, yawned, stretched, and got out of bed. She put on her shoes and walked out of the lounge, questioning, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
As she stepped outside, she noticed Mr. Jordan was also present.
Seeing Imogen coming out of Troy’s lounge, Mr. Jordan pretended not to have seen anything. He was the only one in the company who knew about the relationship between Imogen and Troy.
While many bosses enjoyed having a wife at home and several mistresses outside, particularly involving some female stars, he used to think Mr. Marshall was different. However, he now realized that Troy was no different from those people.
However, being a subordinate, he was unable to do anything except stay silent.

“I didn’t wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly,” Troy explained. “I’ll head back to work now,” Imogen said.
“Remember to wait for me in the garage after work tonight,” Troy reminded her.
“I know,” she replied.
After their evening work was done, Imogen and Troy made their way to the old house together. Grandpa Henry was sitting in the living room and spotted them as they entered, motioning for them to sit down beside him. “Imogen, I heard that your foot was hurt a few days ago. How are you doing now?”
Imogen smiled and replied, “Grandpa, I have already recovered. Look.” She playfully kicked her legs.
The old man chuckled and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
“Where’s Grandma? Imogen inquired.

The old man pointed to the kitchen and responded, “Your grandmother is making soup the kitchen. She’s always thinking of ways to prepare delicious food, so let her be.”
“Come on, Imogen, play two more games of chess with me,” Grandpa Henry suggested.
Imogen assisted the old man to the edge of the chessboard, and they sat opposite each other while Troy was once again pushed aside.
The two of them played chess with great concentration, and without realizing it, a considerable amount of time had passed.

Chapter 32.2: Are You Pregnant?
When Imogen finally snapped out of her focus, she checked her watch and noticed it was already past eight o‘ clock.
Her stomach growled, triggering her to ask, “Grandpa, why is dinner time so late today?”
“You’ll have to ask your grandmother. She said she’s responsible for preparing your dinner tonight, including some particularly rare soup. It hasn’t been prepared yet.”
As he spoke, the old lady brought out a pot of soup from the kitchen and said, “Here, it’s ready. We can have dinner now.
The servant brought out the other dishes, and they all enjoyed a pleasant meal together.
The old lady was eagerly serving soup to Imogen and Troy, saying, “Imogen, Troy, you need to have more. This soup ispecially made for you two. Try it quickly.”
“Grandma, please sit down and eat,” Imogen replied, bowing her head. However, the greasy smell of the soup suddenly reached her nose, causing her to lose control and quickly rush to the bathroom, feeling nauseous.
“Imogen, what’s wrong with her?” The old lady recalled Imogen’s recent reactions and wondered, “Isn‘ t Imogen already pregnant?”
Troy calmly shook his head and explained, “No, she has been experiencing gastrointestinal problems lately and has been avoiding taking medicine.”
“Ah? Is that so? Have you gone to the hospital for an examination?” The old lady persisted. “Imogen has already been to the hospital,” Troy assured.
Hearing Troy’s response, the old lady finally gave up, giving Troy a disapproving look, “You, you, after three years of marriage, there hasn’t been any result at all. Why are you so useless?”
Troy was silent and didn’t dare to say a word.
On the other hand, after washing her mouth, Imogen returned from the bathroom and moved the soup away from her. “Grandma, I apologize. Lately, I’ve been experiencing some stomach issues, and the smell of this soup makes me feel nauseous. I’m worried that I won’t be able to appreciate your kind gesture properly.”
The old lady quickly reassured her, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Your health is more important.” After speaking, the old lady looked at Troy and pushed the bowl of soup from Imogen towards him, saying, “Troy, since Imogen can’t drink it, you can finish it.”
“Grandma, there is so much. I’m afraid I can’t finish it,” Troy said, looking at the two bowls of soup in front of him.
“Nonsense. It’s not that much. How can you not finish it? How can a man have such a small appetite? No wonder it’s not useful.”
Grandma’s words left Troy speechless once more.
After dinner, it was already past nine o‘ clock, nearly ten o’clock. The old man suggested,
“It’s already late now. Why don’t you stay here tonight and go back tomorrow?” “That’s a good idea,” Imogen agreed.
Imogen spent some time watching a soap opera with the old man and lady downstairs before going upstairs to wash up. On the other hand, Troy worked overtime in the old man’s study for a while.

However, for some reason, he felt restless in his mind, so he closed the computer and returned to the room. There was no one else in the room, only the sound of water running in the bathroom, which stirred his emotions. Imogen was taking a shower.
Troy’s mind spun rapidly at that moment, filling with imaginative images. He furrowed his brow slightly, feeling a rising heat and dryness in his body. He felt a reaction.
Troy picked up his pajamas from the wardrobe and went to the bathroom outside to wash and take a shower. He reached for the door handle but couldn’t move it.
After trying a couple more times, it still wouldn’t budge. Troy suddenly realized that the door to the room had been locked from the outside.
Needless to say, this was the doing of his grandparents.
Troy had no other choice but to remain in the room, listening to the sound of water flowing in the bathroom. Though he appeared motionless on the surface, his body was becoming hotter and hotter, and his thoughts were running wild.
It had been over a month since his last business trip. The sound of water in the bathroom eventually ceased. Then the sound of a hair dryer followed.
Not long after, the hair dryer’s sound also stopped. Imogen emerged from the bathroom wearing pajamas and was surprised to find Troy sitting by the bed. “What are you doing here? Why haven’t you gone to wash up?”
Troy’s eyes darkened as he gazed intently at Imogen. He pointed to the door, and his voice became hoarse. “Our grandparents locked the door from the outside.”
