Imogen said expressionlessly, “I won’t go.”
Troy simply did not allow her to refuse and said, “I’ll come pick you up tomorrow afternoon.”
He turned to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Grace, “Grace, follow Imogen’s words, okay?”
Grace nodded.
Watching Troy go out and the room door close, she raised her head and asked curiously, “Imogen, what’s the reception?”
Imogen simply explained, “It’s a party where many people drink together.”
“Then can I go tomorrow?” The little girl was curious and looked at Imogen expectantly.
Imogen smiled and shook her head. “No, you can’t.”
“All right…”
Looking at the sky, Imogen went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, taking a few ingredients out and preparing tonight’s dinner.
Halfway through, there was a click at the door. Charlie pushed the door in and threw her bag on the sofa. “Mochi, where are you, Mochi?”
“Mochi is here!” Grace poked her head out from behind the sofa and looked at Charlie curiously. “Are you Charlie Imogen said? Charlie, you are so beautiful!”
Seeing Grace, Charlie immediately reacted to her identity and walked forward to say, Grace, right? What a sweet little girl!”
“You’re
She petted Mochi a few times and said, “Play with Mochi. I’m going to help Imogen make dinner.” After saying that, Charlie came to the kitchen and saw Imogen chopping vegetables. She walked over and poked Imogen with her elbow, saying in a lowered voice, “Hey, Imogen, why didn’t you send her back?”
Imogen replied, “She will sleep with me tonight.”
“Huh?” Charlie was surprised, secretly glancing outside the kitchen. “What were you thinking? She’s Troy’s niece after all. You’ll always be involved with Troy if you take care of her like this.” Imogen stopped chopping vegetables.
She also knew that it would be easy to get entangled with Troy.
She even suspected that the reason Troy intended to keep Grace in New York as his daughter and make her the nominal mother of Grace was to bind her with Grace.

However, she couldn’t help but feel soft and couldn’t be cruel in the face of Grace.
Charlie sighed, “Grace is indeed cute, but you can’t do this. Troy probably knows children, so he sent her here or purpose. It would be best if you made an early decision.”
Imogen recalled Troy forcibly kissing her half an hour ago and thought, “Maybe Charlie was right. I shouldn’t go on like this. I should slowly stay away from Grace. Even if Grace couldn’t accept it at first, she would slowly forget about me when time passed with a new playmate. Not to mention that Emily doesn’t like me. By alienating Grace, I’m also fulfilling the bond between them.”
While eating, Charlie finally understood why Imogen liked Grace so much.
With a cute round face, she talked in an interesting way. She could eat by herself and didn’t need
to be worried. Compared to the naughty children Charlie had seen, she was simply too well– behaved and intelligent.
Charlie would definitely like her if she wasn’t Troy’s niece.
After dinner, Imogen took Grace downstairs for a walk. By the way, she bought daily necessities for Grace in the supermarket downstairs.
Grace picked out a tomato head toothbrush and stood on the stool to brush her teeth with Imogen.
Both of them had foam in their mouths, and when they looked at each other, Grace couldn’t help but laugh.
After washing up, Imogen went back to her room and got Grace one of her shirts to put on, rolling
the sleeves to use as a nightgown, and helped Grace wash her feet and butt.
up
When washing his butt, Imogen couldn’t help but squeeze it twice and felt it was so soft.
Grace acted excited to the end. After drying her feet, she jumped on the bed and rolled around twice before she got under the quilt.
Changing into her nightgown as well, Imogen turned off the light and lifted the quilt to get into bed.
Grace immediately rolled over.
Imogen smoothly wrapped her arms around Grace.
Grace put her head on Imogen’s chest and rubbed it like a kitten. “Imogen, you smell so good.”
Imogen smiled and patted Grace on the back, saying, “Sleep. Wake me up when you want to go to the bathroom.”
Grace answered, “Sure.”
Having not slept in the afternoon, she closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
Imogen gradually fell asleep as well.
Vaguely, she seemed to be dreaming that she was lying in a hospital with a tiny baby at her bedside, who looked to have been born not long ago.
She looked at the baby on the bed, with eyes full of tenderness. “Serene Forbes, you’ll be called Serene from now on.”
In the dream, she was cradling her baby, and as she did so, the baby in her arms suddenly disappeared.
Imogen shuddered and opened her eyes in a daze, and the room was dark.
She thought, “It turns out to be a dream.”
She reached for her mobile phone on the bedside table and checked the time. It was only five o’clock in the morning.
Looking at Grace, sleeping beside, Imogen raised her hand to poke Grace’s chubby little face and smiled gently.
It was probably because Grace had evoked the desire for a child within her that she had this
dream.
Thinking of slowly alienating Grace, Imogen felt extremely guilty.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
When she woke up at seven o’clock, Grace was still sleeping soundly.
After stretching, Imogen lightly got out of bed, feeding Mochi and washing up to prepare breakfast.
Imogen made two homemade sandwiches, combining two slices of bread, a slice of steak, a fried egg, a slice of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a slice of cheese together, and then made an eggs benedict for Grace.
She was frying a steak in the kitchen when Grace rubbed her eyes and left the room. “Imogen?” Imogen came out of the kitchen, and Grace immediately trotted over barefoot. “Imogen!”
Imogen told her, “I’m making breakfast. Go and wash up. It’s almost time for breakfast.” “Okay.”
After washing up, Grace changed her clothes and sat properly at the dining table.
Imogen brought over the sandwiches, soy milk, and eggs benedict, and made a glass of milk for
Grace.
Grace took a bite of the sandwich and said smilingly, “Imogen, the sandwich you made is delicious!” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Thank you.”
Grace asked, “Where’s Charlie? Doesn’t she have breakfast?”
“She’s not working today, and she’ll sleep until noon,” Imogen answered.
“I see.”
After the meal, Grace nestled in the sofa and watched cartoons.
Imogen was checking out the winning entries of the photo contest over the years.
When it was almost noon, the two of them went out for a while, having a meal and going to the mall to buy a few clothes for Grace, and soon it was past four o’clock in the afternoon.
The two were sitting in the café, waiting for their coffee, when Troy called.
Imogen thought of what he said last night when he was leaving, asking her to go to a reception. with him.
Imogen was very resistant.
But she did owe Troy, and she didn’t want to be the one who went back on her word.
After she picked up the phone, Troy asked, “Where are you guys now? I’ll pick you up for styling and send Grace home by the way.”
Imogen told him the address.
The car quickly arrived outside the mall,
Holding the coffee, Imogen and Grace went to the parking lot to find Troy’s car. Pulling open backseat door, Imogen saw Troy sitting in the backseat, so she told Grace to sit in it first, and then she sat in it.
the
“Troy!” Grace hugged Troy affectionately.
Troy smiled gently. “How did you sleep with Imogen last night?”
Grace smiled and tilted her head. “Imogen is so fragrant and soft. I like her very much.”
Imogen didn’t know what to say.

Not knowing what Troy thought of, his eyes darkened, and he said, “It is indeed very fragrant and soft…“
