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, glad 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 accompany 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 the company? After you’re done with work, don’t forget to eat something. Nicolas won’t be

so strict.]

She had to play 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.]

Imogen comforted: [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 playing with her phone. Grace looked up and pouted. “Hmph.”

Imogen glanced 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 playing. 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 Galaxy Villa instead.

The car was parked in front of the villa.

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, come 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 hånd, followed Sue upstairs, and said, “I’m here.”

Grace closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

Sue put blanket.

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. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

scended to the last 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 the label of liking Liam. “I don’t like him anymore. Is that not okay?”

Troy pursed her lips. “You never liked Liam in the first place, 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 uncomfortable. 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 particularly 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 relationships 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?!
