Chapter 180 The Perfect Match
Troy’s body stiffened, his fingers trembling. He stared at the screen for a long while before finally
offering a curt reply. [No.]
Staring at the phone screen, he spent a long time waiting for Imogen’s response. He felt all strung up,
and a sense of restlessness crept over him.
He was afraid Imogen would see through him, yet he also feared she wouldn’t.
Meanwhile, Imogen, staring at her screen, found it even more perplexing.
The last message only heightened her suspicion.
“Could it really be that he is Yann’s friend? Why would Yann’s friend be the one responding to Yann’s
messages? His mysterious friend who had never shown himself…” She pondered.
The image of a certain figure flashed through her mind.
She chuckled self–deprecatingly, shaking her head and wondering why she kept thinking about him.
“Imogen, aren’t you tired? Why didn’t you go back and rest?” Charlie and Alex came upstairs and saw
Imogen standing by the stairs with her phone.
“Oh, I found the room a bit stuffy, so I came out for some fresh air.”
“Stuffy? In the room? Couldn’t she just open the window? It’s a perfect chance to see the northern
lights.”
Charlie looked at Imogen suspiciously and dashed over like a bolt of lightning, quickly glancing at
Imogen’s phone.
Imogen swiftly switched the screen off.
Still, she wasn’t quick enough.
Charlie caught a glimpse of Yann’s name, where the Facebook contact name was listed.
She grinned impishly. “Oh, so you’re chatting with Yann behind our backs! No wonder!”
Imogen could tell that Charlie was misunderstanding the situation. “It’s not what you just…”
think. I
Charlie wasn’t going to buy any of Imogen’s explanations. “No need to explain. I get it. Yann is tall and
handsome, maybe not as rich as that dimwit, but he has a wealthy friend, so he’s definitely
poor. You can give him a shot, especially since he seems quite well–endowed…”
not
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe conversation was all over the place.
“It’s really not what you’re thinking. I just find him a bit strange.”
After hearing Imogen’s words, Charlie slapped her thigh. “I know what’s strange about him!”
“What is it?”
“Do you remember someone bumped into you at the airport before we departed for Oslo? If I
remember correctly, that person was Yann. He must have fallen for you at first sight, then. That’s why
you find him odd!”
Imogen was taken aback. “Really?”
“Of course, it’s true. You were lost in thought at the time and didn’t pay attention to what he
looked like.”
Imogen wondered if that was the case.
“Was it because Yann fell for me at first sight that he followed me all the way here? Was that why he
often stared at me? Is this even a valid explanation?” She thought.
Then, another message arrived from Yann, explaining. [I went to the restroom just now. That was my
friend, and he’s feeling a bit down due to a broken heart. Seeing me so popular with the ladies, he got
jealous and made a joke. Sorry about that. I came here this time to keep him company. Let’s hang out
together sometime in the future.]
Imogen felt somewhat puzzled, wondering if she was overthinking things.
At that moment, Alex added, “What about Liam? I think Liam and Imogen are a better match.” Imogen
felt a bit helpless. “What does Liam have to do with this?”
Alex waved her phone at Imogen. “He just messaged me, saying he’s coming to find us.”
Since the last time Alex, Imogen, and Liam had dinner together, Alex had been quite supportive of the
two of them. It was clear that Liam had some feelings for Imogen.
“Huh?” Imogen was surprised, “Isn’t he filming?”
“He’s done with his part and would have to make a brief public appearance in France, but he has a day
off, so he wants to come find us tomorrow. His schedule is quite tight, so he’s probably coming for you.”
Charlie was surprised. “So you and Liam…”
“There’s nothing between us! We’re just friends!” Imogen denied it quickly. The situation was already
giving her a headache.
“Why are you so worked up?”
Alex said, “He’s short on time, so he probably won’t be able to come here. We’ve pretty much explored
this area, so how about we head back to Tromso now, have a meal with him, and then
go directly to Ringvassoya?”
“Sounds good!” Charlie immediately agreed and teased Imogen, “Oh my god, our little Imogen has just
gotten a divorce, but she’s already got suitors, three of them in a row!”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“All right, all right, I’ll stop. Anyway, it’s your choice. I think both Yann and Liam are great
catches!”
Imogen didn’t know what to say.
Liam sent his flight information to Alex.
With some time to spare, Alex and the others rested for a few hours in the hotel before leaving
Sommaroy.
After leaving their luggage at the hotel, they drove straight to the airport. After waiting for about twenty
minutes, they saw Liam coming out of the terminal.
He wore a cap and a black mask, carried no luggage, and even though he was dressed in a long black
down jacket, he didn’t look too bulky in it.
Alex waved at him.
As soon as Liam got to the car, he first looked at Imogen in the back seat through the front window and
lowered his mask halfway. “Did I delay your trip?”
He breathed out white mist as he spoke, his voice pleasant.
“No,” Alex said. “We’ve already gone around Sommaroy and were planning to come back. Get in
the car.”
Liam opened the back door and sat down next to Imogen.
He wasn’t very familiar with Charlie. He nodded at her and then turned to Imogen, asking, “Imogen, are
you feeling better now?”
“I’m much better now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to come on this trip. How about you? I heard
you’ve finished filming already. That was fast.”
“A while ago, there was a change in the female lead, right? They cut her part, and the casting process
takes time. My scenes were moved up, so I finished filming ahead of schedule.”
Charlie couldn’t help but quip, “The third wheel got what she deserved.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiam glanced at her and chuckled. “But now, there’s a rumor going around in the industry that Troy is
going to marry Sarah. His family doesn’t want Sarah to appear in public again, so all her work
assignments were canceled, and she hasn’t been seen in public for some time.”
Upon hearing that, Imogen’s gaze dropped, and her fair fingers, clutching her purse, tightened slightly.
“So he’s finally going to marry Sarah,” she thought.
She had been guessing that Yann’s friend was Troy, so she was suddenly feeling ridiculous for herself
for being presumptuous.
All the while, Liam was carefully observing Imogen’s expression. Seeing how unfazed she seemed to
be, he felt a hint of delight, holding out hope that she might have moved on.
“In that case, do I have a chance now?” He wondered.
“That trash of a man and that cheap woman make for a perfect match!” Charlie cursed under her
breath.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the four of them sat down and ordered a few dishes each.
They had been to that restaurant and thought the food was quite good.
Liam closed the menu and handed it to the waiter before asking the three women, “We don’t get to
spend much time together this time. When are you guys heading back? Let’s meet up again once
we’ve all gone back!”
“Alex will be heading back earlier, probably around the middle of the month. As for me and Charlie,
we’re thinking of visiting other places after this.”
Liam raised an eyebrow. “Any plans on where to go?”
“Not yet.”
“How about Australia? I remember that when you were little, you said you wanted to go to Australia.”
Imogen raised an eyebrow, “You remember that? I forgot about it a long time ago.”
Back then, she didn’t really understand what she was saying. Saying she wanted to go to Australia was
probably just a passing remark.
“I definitely remember. You saw a newspaper at my place with a picture of the Sydney Opera House on
it. You pointed at the picture and said you wanted to visit there when you grow up.”
Charlie’s gaze shifted between the two of them. “Sure thing, Imogen. Let’s go to Australia then. It’s a
great time for traveling there now.”
“Okay.” Imogen agreed.

Liam smiled and said, “By then, I should have some time too. I’ll join you guys.”
