Chapter 228 I Won’t Pester You Anymore
She just wanted to come to the bathroom to tidy up her clothes but never expected to see such a scene
when she came out. Imogen thought, “I am so unlucky.”
With unspeakable irritability in Imogen’s heart, she turned around and left.
Seeing Imogen’s figure, Troy immediately chased after her.
“Troy!”
Charlene grabbed Troy’s arm and wanted to say something more, but Troy directly threw her
away.
“Imogen, welcome back.”
In the lobby lounge area, Erik looked at Imogen’s figure with a smile.
Imogen narrowly smiled, “Sorry, I have something to do, so I have to go.”
“Is someone coming to pick you up?” asked Erik.
“No,” answered Imogen.
Erik immediately stood up. “Imogen, can I see you off?”
Imogen subconsciously wanted to refuse but then changed her words. “Okay.”
Erik couldn’t hide his joy. “Then I’ll talk to waiters and ask them to arrange a car for us.”
“Okay,” said Imogen.
When Troy walked into the hall, he saw the leaving figures of Imogen and Erik side by side. He stood in
the distance with a frigid expression. A cold atmosphere shrouded his whole body.
Troy’s eyes turned gloomy, and his fists clenched tightly, creaking.
“How dared Erik get his hands on Imogen?” Troy thought.
The car stopped at the gate of the apartment.
Imogen got out of the car wrapped in a down jacket.
Erik also followed. “Imogen, do you want me to see you to the door?”
Imogen smiled and shook her head lightly. “No, thanks. Let the staff take you home quickly. Don’t waste
their time.”
Erik smiled embarrassedly and got back into the car. “Then I am going to leave.”
He thought that buying a car should be on the agenda as soon as possible.

Imogen waved her hand, turned around and entered an apartment.
The night in January was chilly. With the tip of the nose red with cold, she walked quickly into the
apartment with her arms folded.
Suddenly, she paused.
Troy lazily leaned against the wall at the elevator entrance with a cigarette in his hand. He
exhaled a hazy smoke ring with his lips parted slightly.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Troy looked up, with his gloomy gaze on Imogen.
“What are you doing here?”

“What do you think?” Troy asked in a deep voice.
“What? I don’t know. You asked me to accompany you to the reception, so I did. I don’t know what I did
to make you so dissatisfied that you came here.” Imogen raised her eyebrows.
Troy laughed angrily, “You still remember that you should accompany me at the reception, don’t you?”
Imogen shrugged easily. “Is there any question?”
“You chatted and laughed with another man at the reception, and you even left without telling me. Isn’t
this a question?” Troy said in a deep voice, suppressing the anger that surged up in his heart.
Imogen laughed when she heard Troy’s accusation against her. She unrestrainedly laughed as if it was
ridiculous. “You are angry because of this, right?”
Even angrier, Troy gritted his teeth and said, “Can’t I think like that?”
Imogen withdrew her smile and looked at Troy coldly. “Do you still remember what happened at the
charity dinner last time?”
Troy’s expression froze, and his lips twitched slightly.
The anger was completely extinguished as if a basin of cold water poured down on Troy’s heart,
leaving it full of cold dampness.
Seeing Troy keep silent, Imogen took a step forward and said slowly with vigor, “At the dinner party,
you talked and laughed with Sarah. You are a talented man, and she is a beautiful woman. There was
a happy conversation between you. You didn’t tell me either that you left with her, so what right do you
have to accuse me?”
With his face pale, Troy remained silent and didn’t even realize that the cigarette butt burnt his index
finger.
“How couldn’t you utter one word? Troy, you

have to pay back for what you did before!” Imogen
When Imogen was about to walk in, Troy suddenly hugged her behind, with his arms tightly around her
waist. Troy whispered to her, “I’m so sorry, Imogen.”
“Let me go!” Imogen wanted to prise his finger, but it didn’t work.
“Imogen, I really love you so much. You don’t know that when I saw you walking with another man, how
jealous and uncomfortable I felt…”
Imogen sneered, “Troy, it doesn’t make sense. Do you know what love is? Love is giving but not
possession! I already have someone I like and am about to start a new life. How come you can’t let me
go? Do you want to pester me all my life if I don’t agree to remarry you?”
Troy was petrified, with an intense pain in his heart as if a knife stabbed hard in it and repeatedly stirred
to make it blood.
He looked down at Imogen sadly, his voice extremely hoarse, as if he had swallowed a handful of sand.
“It’s Erik?”
Troy thought, “How could she like Erik? How could Erik match her?”
“Yes,” answered Imogen.
With a bitter smile and a hint of pleading, Troy said in his low voice, “Imogen, don’t lie to me
anymore. How could you like Erik?”
“Tsk!” Imogen sneered, “Mr. Marshall, how can you be so confident? I really like Erik, and I didn’t lie to
you! He is young, handsome, and motivated, so why can’t I like him?”
Troy inevitably panicked as if a crack appeared in his heart. “You are not afraid that he would do as
Jeremy did…”
“No, he grew up abroad and didn’t know my identity when he met me,” said Imogen.
“I asked you before whether there was someone you liked, and you said ‘yes‘. But why did you change

“I also told you that the person doesn’t like me, so why must I always keep one to love?” Said Imogen.
“But Erik is not good enough to match you!” Said Troy.
“It’s enough that I think he can match me. If he has no money to support me, I will support him.
Anyway, Mr. Marshall, you are generous to give me so much money after our divorce, so It’s a waste
not to use it.”
After a few seconds of silence, Troy said hoarsely with only a glimmer of hope, “Imogen, you’re trying
to enrage me on purpose, right?”
“Why do I enrage you?” Imogen raised her eyebrows. “As for me, you are just an ex–husband who I
already parted. If it wasn’t for the sake of Grace, did you think I would see you? Don’t take yourself too
seriously. Did you know why did I reject Grace in the car today? Because I didn’t want to continue to
entangle with you! For the sake of Grace, you should consciously stay away from me! Otherwise, don’t
blame me for alienating Grace cruelly!”
Troy couldn’t grasp a breath from the pain in his heart, as if he had been punched hard.
“Really… there is no chance for me at all?”
“No!” Imogen replied firmly.
Troy closed his eyes, with his arms silently loose. He took two steps back and said in a low voice, “I
see.”
Imogen had someone she liked and had moved forward into a new life.
But Troy still stayed where he was, unwilling to give up Imogen and still holding a glimmer of hope.
As Troy woke up from his dream and opened his eyes, it turned out that he was already on the verge of
the cliff.
Standing where he was, Troy took a deep breath and endured the sharp pain in his heart and the
soreness in his throat with red eyes. “I won’t pester you in the future.
“You’re right. I don’t understand love. No one has taught me what love is since I was a child. So, I didn’t
understand it until I lost you. But it’s too late.
“Imogen, if there is no me, you will always be happy in the future. Then, I will leave willingly. “Imogen,
you must be a happy person.”
