Chapter 147

• (Stephen Harlow's POV)
• The minute I entered the study, I frowned. It was to be anticipated of Imogen, crying and declining to go out, to react. She was used to her luxurious life in Bristol, so she was definitely not looking forward to going abroad.
• Vanessa spoiled Imogen so much. She would also protest on the basis of common sense. I was hoping she would stop me like Imogen, but she just protested slightly and agreed easily. It was not the usual response of a mother. Although Vanessa loved me after our marriage, why did I feel that what happened today was not usual?
