Chapter 271 Birds of a Feather
Imogen gave him an indescribable look. “Merry Christmas.”
She turned and walked forward.
“Where are you going?” Troy got behind and walked forward side by side with her.
“Just take a walk,” she said angrily.
“I saw you talking to Agnes just now. What did you say?” Troy asked casually.
Imogen raised her eyebrows and glanced at him. “Can’t you understand? Leo and Agnes didn’t talk much tonight, which is very abnormal.”
Troy replied, “No, I’m just looking at you.” Imogen glared at him. “You are glib–tongued.”
“Am I?” Troy raised his eyebrows innocently.
Imogen turned her head away, paused, and asked, “It seems that Leo has another woman outside. Do you know?”
“I don’t know.” Troy was surprised. “Could there be some misunderstanding?”
Troy remembered that it was Agnes who was pursued by Leo at the beginning, and he pursued her for a long time.
They grew up together. Based on Troy’s understanding of Leo, Leo loved Agnes very much. After so many years of marriage, the husband and wife were harmonious and had a lovely child. How could Leo suddenly cheat?
Imogen laughed mockingly. “Agnes found a woman’s perfume smell, hair, and female scratches on him, and he said that he and that woman were innocent. Agnes asked him who that woman was, but he didn’t tell her. Did you think Agnes misunderstood him?”
Troy fell silent.
Imogen glanced at him mockingly, with some dissatisfaction in her tone. “You really can
empathize, and you are indeed brothers!”
“I’m not explaining it to him. I’m just a little surprised…”
Seeing that Imogen’s complexion was not good, Troy immediately shut his mouth and changed the subject. “Don’t mention them. There are some activities, shall we go and see?”
“Go on your own.” Imogen turned around and went back.
Troy looked at her back, shook his head helplessly, and followed her. “Then I won’t
Imogen was speechless.
go either.”
Layla was old and couldn’t stand it anymore. She wore presbyopic glasses and played cards with the juniors for a while, then went upstairs to rest, and the game ended.
Emily stayed abroad for a long time, so the younger generation didn’t have much affection for her, and Judith didn’t talk much to her, so Emily went upstairs after talking to Aaron.
Before going upstairs, Emily specifically told Sue that she should take Grace to the room when she came back.
When Imogen returned to the living room, she met Leo coming out of it.
Leo stopped and glanced at Imogen. “Where’s Agnes?”
Imogen replied, “She should have gone to find Wesie and Grace.”
Leo responded, continued to take two steps outside, exchanged glances with Troy behind him, nodded slightly, and strode out of the courtyard.
Aaron went to answer the phone, and Judith went somewhere, so Nicolas was the only one left in the living room. He sat lazily on the sofa, holding a mobile phone, as if replying to some message. Imogen went to the kitchen to get a fruit plate and put it on the coffee table, sat down on the sofa, and stuck a piece of orange and put it in her mouth.
At this time, a delicate female voice suddenly came from Nicolas’s mobile phone opposite, saying in a coquettish tone, “Oh, I’m so bored. I miss you…”
As if it was accidentally released, Nicolas subconsciously glanced at Imogen on the opposite side. Imogen smiled and said, “Girlfriend?”
“En.” Nicolas had a faint smile on his face, but it didn’t reach his
eyes.
“Judith can finally rest assured. When do you plan to bring her back?”
Nicolas laughed. “I was prevaricating with my mother in the afternoon. I met her at the resort a few days ago, and we haven’t been together.”
With a clear expression on her face, Imogen ate a piece of sweet watermelon.
At this time, Troy came over, sat down next to Imogen and picked up the fruit without changing his expression.
Nicolas glanced at them and left knowingly.
Imogen was speechless.
She rolled her eyes at Troy beside her, stood up, and swallowed the fruit in her mouth. “I’m going back to my room. Don’t follow me.”
Imogen went up to the second floor, but Troy didn’t follow her again.
She played with her mobile phone in the room for a while and felt sleepy, so she washed up and got ready to go to bed.
Imogen came out of the bathroom in her pajamas and was about to go to bed when there was a knock on the door.
She thought it was Grace who came back and went to open the door, but saw Troy standing at the door.
Before Imogen could react, he stepped in directly.
“What are you doing here?” Imogen suddenly reacted, slipped in front of him, and stretched out her arms to stop him.
Troy looked calm. “Sleep.”
Imogen had an expression of disbelief. “Do you come to sleep in my room? Are you kidding me?” “This is our room.” Troy was serious.
Imogen paused.
When they were not divorced, this room was indeed the room where the couple stayed in the Marshall villa.
“We are divorced now. You go to sleep in another room.”
“There is none left,” Troy said.
“What?”
“Aaron and Judith took one, Nicolas took one, Emily took one, Leo took one, Agnes and Wesie took one, and you took one. All the prepared guest rooms were occupied, and the rest of the two rooms were not cleaned and had no bedding.”
The main reason was that Sue did not expect Leo and Agnes to sleep in separate rooms.
Imogen listened, thought for a while, and waved her hands. “You go to the Leo or Nicolas to make do for a night. Don’t rely on me.”
“I’ve been there. Nicolas said that he would stay on the phone with his girlfriend all night. Leo was videoing with someone. I heard a female voice…” Troy said seriously.
Troy didn’t lie. Leo was indeed videoing with someone, and there was a female voice in it, but it was just for a multinational meeting.
When Troy went, Leo also said that he was going to the study for a meeting and gave him the room, but Troy refused.
Under Troy’s misleading, Imogen thought that Leo was videoing with a lover outside, so she frowned in dissatisfaction.
While hesitating, Troy had already taken out his pajamas from the closet, took off his sweater, and unbuttoned his shirt.
Imogen was startled. “Hey, wait!”
“What?” Troy paused with his slender fingers pinching the buttons.
“How about… You go to sleep on the sofa below…” Imogen suggested.
Troy put down his hand, pursed his lips, and looked at Imogen innocently, with drooping brows and eyes.
Inexplicably, Imogen felt a little guilty and silently looked away.
“It’s just one night. In Australia, I didn’t do anything to you. What are you afraid of?” Imogen remained silent.
Seeing that Imogen didn’t speak, Troy lowered his head, sighed, and put his clothes back on. “I didn’t expect you to be so afraid of me. I remember you were hanging on me like an octopus on the helicopter, hugging me and kissing me…”
“Okay, okay! You sleep inside.” Imogen made a stop gesture and compromised. “Remember to be honest. Don’t move your hands or feet.”
“Okay.”
A triumphant smile flashed across Troy’s eyes. He changed into his pajamas and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When he came out of the bathroom, Imogen was already lying on the outside of the bed, and there was a quilt on the inside of the bed.
“Did I turn off the light?” Troy asked.
Imogen closed her eyes and agreed softly.
Troy turned off the light, lifted the quilt, and got into bed.
Having not shared the bed with Troy for a long time, Imogen did not fall asleep at first and fell asleep after a while.
In the early morning, around midnight. Imogen was woken un hu the crackli

she felt that there was a stove behind her, which made her whole body warm and very
comfortable on the winter night.
Imogen shrank back and suddenly realized something was wrong. She opened her eyes suddenly, turned her head to look, and gritted her teeth. “Troy!“
