Chapter 15: Never bear again
Instead of lingering in the awkward atmosphere, Imogen tried to put their attention to something else.
She grabbed the dish near the older Marshall man and served it to him.
“Look, Grandpa. You love sweet and sour eggplant, right? You should try this.”
Her action lifted the mood. “Our dear Imogen remembers your favorite! I’m jealous!” The old woman
exclaimed.
“You’re still the same sweet lady,” Grandpa Marshall uttered and picked the chopsticks, smiling. “Unlike
some heartless person there who only makes me angry. I think his purpose is to frustrate me to death.”
However, instead of saying anything, the labeled “ungrateful” Troy remained silent.
“Grandpa, don’t say that you’ll live a long life.”
Imogen’s life was pretty eventful. Her parents were divorced, and her father got custody. It was
because her mother did not want her at all. So years following their split, she had never met her
Mom.
Growing up, she witnessed her father being so busy with work while she was living in her
grandparent’s house in the countryside. But a few years later, they passed away one after another, and
she was taken by her father once again.
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netHer miseries did not stop there because, at 16, her father also left, and she was utterly alone. That was
when the older Marshalls, her now grandparents, came into the picture. They gave her warmth and a
home to come back to.
So hearing death from their mouths pained her. She didn’t want to bear the pain of losing another loved
one. That was why no one was very eager to pray that the older man and woman of the Marshall
Family would have a longer life than Imogen.
After the meal, except for Troy, the other three were exceptionally happy and content.
While she was there, Imogen thought of ways to make the old man and the old lady happy. Looking at
them from a third point of view, they appeared like a real family with smiles all over
their faces.
They were in the middle of sharing stories when one of the maids went near Imogen. “Miss Forbes’s
arrival here made the old man much more energetic.”
After the meal, Imogen accompanied Troy’s grandfather to play chess.
The old man taught her how to play chess, and he basically taught her ways to gain good playing skills,
and surprisingly, she made rapid progress. Even Grandpa Marshall himself dared not take her lightly as
an opponent. He was serious as they played.
“Grandpa, no way! You’re playing tricks,”
The old Grandpa of the Marshalls apologetically laughed while Imogen whined in
discontentedness. But in the end, they saw themselves laughing because of how the game was
going.
“I won’t be easy on you, Imogen. I haven’t dropped the chess yet.” The old man rightfully squeezed the
white piece back on the chessboard and placed it in another place.
“Are you sure you’re placing it there?”
He glanced at Imogen, hesitated momentarily, and nodded, “I’m sure.”

Imogen immediately pinched the black spot in her hand and laughed happily. “Grandpa, you lost!”
Grandpa Marshall’s eyes widened, not realizing that Imogen had tricked him. He returned the white one
and threw Imogen’s black one back into the box. “No, no, no, that doesn’t count. I made a mistake. I
made a mistake.”
On the side. Troy looked at the energetic Imogen and then peeked at the mischievous old man with a
slight smile on his lips.
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netIn front of his brothers, the older man always looked stern, but looking at his grandfather now, it
seemed only Imogen could turn him into a stubborn child.
Suddenly. Imogen pointed at Troy and proclaimed, “Grandpa, he’s mocking you!”
That was when the older man glanced over, and the smile on Troy’s face instantly froze.
“You brat, how dare you laugh at me? Why don’t you go to pour water for Imogen and me? All you
know is stand there foolishly!”
Troy sighed. He could not believe the attention was on him again. Let alone the complete shift of
attitude when his grandfather treated his wife and him.
But as ordered, he went to pour water for them, and behind him came Imogen’s unrestrained laughter.
Troy’s demeanor darkened.
