Sir Your Wife Already Signed the Divorce Paper

Chapter 128 Get a Divorce From Him

By convention, they would have lunch at the Marshall villa before heading to the cemetery on the

outskirts.

The lunch was abundant, and the atmosphere at the table was lively.

Witty remarks from Wesley, often made everyone burst into laughter.

When Imogen Watched Fu Rui’s adorable appearance, there was a hint of a smile in Imogen’s cool

eyes.

She wondered what the child inside her would look like when born, hoping that the child would be as

cute and carefree as Wesley.

On the opposite side of the dining table, Troy’s gaze met Imogen’s, and Imogen couldn’t help but feel a

slight hesitation in her composed expression. She discreetly put down her fork and excused herself to

the restroom.

After washing her hands and returning from the restroom, she saw someone standing at the

entrance.

Clad in a dark gray trench coat, shirt, trousers, and leather shoes, when viewed from behind, the figure

stood tall and straight like a pine tree.

Imogen’s steps hesitated.

If it hadn’t been for the person holding an unfinished cigarette in his hand, she might have mistaken

him for Troy. Troy didn’t smoke.

Troy didn’t smoke.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Leo turned his head slightly.

“Leo.” Imogen greeted Leo with a smile, “Sneaking out for a smoke?”

Leo helplessly extinguished the cigarette butt. “Agnes doesn’t allow me to smoke at home.”

“She cares about you.” Imogen replied.

“Yeah, I only smoke occasionally. Don’t tell her,” Leo said.

“Okay, I’ll pretend I didn’t see it.” Leo and his wife are affectionate, and Imogen won’t interfere too

much. “Then I’ll go back first.”

“Wait!” Leo called out to Imogen.

“Leo,” Imogen stopped and asked, “is there something else?”

Leo said, “I’ve seen the recent news on the internet.”

Hearing this, Imogen lowered her gaze, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Layla and Agnes didn’t ask anything, and she pretended to be calm to maintain her dignity, but Leo

saw through it.

“I know the fault isn’t with you. It lies with Troy. Has he said anything about how to handle the situation?

Does he still keep in touch with Sarah?” Leo asked.

Imogen fell silent, unsure how to answer.

She liked to keep her worries to herself. Even when she and Troy were at odds, she never complained

or blamed Troy in front of his grandparents. Instead, she hid her troubles and strove to maintain a good

relationship between them.

“You don’t need to worry about anything. Just tell me the truth. Otherwise, I would find out on my

own!” Leo said solemnly.

Imogen furrowed her brows and softly replied, “He visited Sarah a few days ago.”

“I knew it!” Leo sighed. “Look, Troy may appear cold, but he keeps many things inside. He’s prone to

guilt and vulnerability.”

Imogen couldn’t help but sneer inside her heart.

She thought, “It isn’t that he’s prone to guilt and vulnerability, but rather because of that person, Sarah.

He has never shown any vulnerability toward me.”

Seeing Imogen’s indifferent expression, Leo knew she had some grievances. After a moment of

contemplation, he spoke again, “You should know that Troy and I have the same father but different

mother.”

Imogen paused and nodded gently.

“He was brought back by my father when he was just a year old, and I was five at the time. I could

already understand his identity from the way adults treated him. I didn’t like him back then. because his

presence often led to arguments between my parents, and our once harmonious family was no

more…”

Imogen had heard some of this, including the subsequent car accident where Thomas and his wife

died. According to the surveillance footage at the time, they had a heated argument and fought over

the steering wheel, resulting in the accident.

An eyewitness at a service area on the previous road segment saw them and said they were arguing,

seemingly because the man had an affair and a child outside the marriage…

Imogen suddenly realized what it all meant.

In society, illegitimate children were looked down upon.

Some children, due to their understanding of the significance of the third party in a marriage, felt inferior

and believed they shouldn’t exist.

Even though Troy came from the wealthy Marshall family and had Henry’s protection, he still needed to

socialize and attend school. With various people in his life, someone would inevitably mention his

background and ridicule his birth.

And as an educated person, even if he never showed it on the surface, did he ever have thoughts of

not deserving to exist deep down?

And for Thomas and his wife, who died in the car accident because of their argument, did he blame

himself and feel responsible for their deaths, causing Leo to lose his parents overnight? Those were all

Imogen’s doubts.

Leo’s next words confirmed her thoughts.

“At that time, I couldn’t accept our parents‘ death and blamed everything on Troy. I bullied him in secret,

threatening him not to tell our grandfather. He would cover for me in front of our grandfather until he

eventually noticed something was wrong…

“In other families, it’s usually the older brother who takes care of the younger one, but Troy would

voluntarily give in to me. I know he has been feeling guilty and wants to compensate for something

related to our parents. Over time, it became an obsession for him. I believe it’s the same with Sarah.”

“Is that so?” Imogen murmured.

“Has Troy ever talked to you about what happened between them?” Leo asked.

Imogen instinctively understood that Leo was referring to the incidents involving Sarah.

She had heard Riley mention it once, but didn’t know the specifics.

Without waiting for her response, Leo looked out the window and reminisced. At that time, Troy had

just started his internship at the company and was busy with his studies and work. He neglected Sarah,

and they had a quarrel. Upset, Sarah ran out and cried, but Troy didn’t chase after her. It was only

when Sarah’s friend called that Troy found out she had gone missing.

Soon after, he received the news of the kidnappers demanding a ransom. They were originally

targeting him, and perhaps if he had obediently delivered the ransom, Sarah would have been

unharmed. But you know Troy, he dislikes being threatened. He reported it to the police, and somehow

the kidnappers found out…‘

As a result, the kidnappers resorted to violence against Sarah.

So, this was the truth of the matter.

Imogen’s expression was moved.

It was only natural for Troy to feel guilt and pain since his loved one was kidnapped because of him

and suffered the consequences of his mistake, resulting in her developing a psychological disorder.

Leo, as a descendant of the Marshall family, grew up in a privileged environment and lacked nothing

but the care of his parents, which Troy could never completely compensate for!

But Sarah’s situation was different.

As long as Troy stayed with Sarah, it could make up for the harm she suffered.

That was why he made a promise to her, promising to take responsibility for her…

If Imogen were Troy, perhaps her approach would not differ much from his.

But understanding didn’t mean her heart could return to the way it was before.

It would only represent her acceptance of the fact that they were fated to be apart, that they should

each let go and find their own peace.

If there was blame, would blame it on the extraordinarily coincidental fate.

That night, for all the wrong reasons, Imogen, a girl who could only admire Troy from a distance, had

the opportunity to get close to him, even to marry him.

At that time, Troy had been single for over a year, and she was unaware of what had happened

between him and Sarah.

She thought that he and Sarah’s relationship was already over.

So, she embraced the sunlight and seized the opportunity.

She thought it was a gift from fate.

But now she understood that it was just fate playing a trick on her!

The idea of divorce was never so clear in her head before!

Imogen decided to end the relationship.

She decided to let Troy fulfill his promise while she led her own peaceful life.

A marriage didn’t necessarily end with a noisy storm or a tempest, nor does it have to end with heart–

wrenching sorrow. It could also end quietly on a calm afternoon, at an unexpected but appropriate

moment, where the book of their story suddenly reaches the end.

The end of a story always had signs from the very beginning. The story developed from beginning

to climax, and to the ending. It was always this process.

Only those who had read it through became witnesses.

“Imogen, if it was unbearable, just would get a divorce from him.” Leo suggested.
