Chapter 192 Where to Put the Hand?
“If I hadn’t come, where would you have planned to go this afternoon?” Liam took the side dish served by the waiter and placed it on the edge of the table.
“We planned to take the ferry. I heard that taking photos of the Sydney Opera House and the
Harbour Bridge from the boat is even more beautiful.” Imogen took a piece of grilled fish, removed the bones, and tasted it.
“Let’s take the ferry then. I’ll join you.” Liam noticed Imogen’s almost empty drink and asked, “Do you want another Sprite? I can get you a refill.”
“Sure,” Imogen added two pieces of Enoki mushrooms to her bubbling water.
“Here you go.” Liam placed the drink in front of Imogen and sat down.
“Thank you.”
“You’ve been in Sydney for a few days now, right? Where are you planning to go next?”
“We wanted to go to Melbourne tomorrow, but since you just arrived today and haven’t seen much of Sydney.”
“It’s fine. I’ve been to Sydney before for work. Let’s head straight to Melbourne tomorrow,” Liam suggested.
“Sounds good.”
Across the street, Troy sat in a café and watched Liam seated next to Imogen, sometimes getting her a drink, sometimes using serving forks to serve her food. Troy felt frustrated.
That seat should have been his!
Their restaurant was near the pier, so they decided to walk there.
Liam took the bags from both Imogen and Charlie.
On the way, they passed a café with a few sun umbrellas outside, under which were round chairs. Liam suggested, “Why don’t you wait here for a bit? I’ll treat you to some coffee.”
They had coffee while enjoying the view on the boat sounded delightful.
Charlie nodded in agreement and sat down with Imogen. “Thanks, I’ll have an iced Americano.” “I’ll have an iced latte.”
“Alright, wait here. I’ll

queue up.”
Watching Liam, with two women’s bags, queuing among a group of girls, Charlie joked to Imogen, “He’s quite the gentleman, isn’t he?”
Imogen just smiled faintly without saying anything.
Troy observed this scene, scowled, and huffed.
Liam was trying to impress!
Soon, Liam came out with three cups of coffee and handed them to Imogen and Charlie. “Thanks.”
Imogen took her coffee and gave it a slight shake. Her delicate eyebrows arched gracefully, a playful twinkle in her
eyes.
Liam paused for a moment. “You’re welcome.”
Imogen took a sip of her iced latte and instantly felt refreshed.
Liam joked. “Imogen, you should smile more. You look beautiful when you do.”
They continued towards the pier, bought tickets, and boarded the boat.
The boat was quite crowded as it set sail, headed towards the opposite Luna Park.
The view became more expansive as the boat moved further from the shore. The Sydney Opera House looked like it was floating on the sea, connected to the magnificent Sydney Harbour Bridge.
“Ms. Franco, could you take some photos of Imogen and me?” Liam handed his phone to Charlie.
“Sure, let me show you my photography skills. Both of you stand over there.” Charlie pointed to a spot on the deck and lifted her phone. “Yes, right there. Stand a bit closer.”
Imogen glanced at Liam beside her and subtly moved closer to him.
With a charming smile, Liam took a big step toward Imogen. Their arms brushed against each other.
Liam turned slightly towards Imogen and showed off his long legs.
“Perfect, hold that pose. Three, two, one!”
What’s so perfect about it?
Why were they standing so close?
Inside the boat’s private lounge, Troy saw Liam leaning so close to Imogen, grinding his teeth in frustration.
That sneaky Liam!
“Imogen, give a smile and strike a pose.”
Imogen’s repertoire of poses was limited. Imogen simply smiled and made a peace sign with her fingers.
“It’s OK! How do they look?”
Charlie showed the photos, and Imogen and Liam leaned in to see.
The woman in the photo had relaxed features and an elegant smile and looked serene.
The handsome man had a sunny smile, revealing neat, white teeth.
Behind them was the blue sea, the magnificent Sydney Opera House on the left, and the grand Harbour Bridge on the right.
The subjects and the scenery complemented each other perfectly, making it hard to decide where to look.
Liam nodded in satisfaction. “Thank you, the photos look great. Do you want me to take some for you?”
“Sure!” Charlie pulled Imogen to the railing and struck a pose.
Compared to the photos of Imogen and Liam, the poses between Charlie and Imogen were more varied, primarily thanks to Charlie. Charlie hugged Imogen’s waist, leaned on her shoulder, and even gave her a peck on the cheek. All Imogen had to do was react accordingly.
Seeing Imogen with Charlie instead of Liam, Troy’s mood lightened slightly, but if didn’t last long.
After taking the photos, Imogen and Charlie huddled together to view them on the phone.
Liam was so close to Imogen that their heads were almost touched!
It had to be intentional on Liam’s part!
Since Liam joined the trip, Troy had been in a bad mood.
That should have been Troy’s spot.
Troy imagined traveling with Imogen, standing on the deck, feeling the sea breeze, admiring the view, and taking photos of Imogen. How romantic that would be!
Unfortunately, they had never traveled together. After they got married, Henry suggested a honeymoon trip, but Troy declined.
Not long ago, on a public holiday. Troy had been busy with work and couldn’t spend much time with Imogen, let alone travel.
Now, Troy felt a deep surge of jealousy.
Imogen and the others took photos all the way until the ferry reached the opposite pier.
After landing, they lingered by the shore for a while, then began exploring the opposite side. They also did some shopping and continued exploring until the evening before taking the ferry back.
After dinner, both Liam and Charlie updated their Instagram.
A few minutes later, all the photos were on Troy’s phone.
Trøy silently stared at the photos of Liam and Imogen, his eyes darkening with rage.
Liam was very close to Imogen in the photos and smiled brightly. Liam looked at Imogen with affectionate eyes in a couple of them.
Troy’s gaze was fixed on Liam in the photos as if trying to burn a hole through them.
So annoying!
Troy’s gaze shifted to Imogen, who looked gentle and soft, her eyes fixed on the camera. Troy was so captivated that he couldn’t help but touch her face on the screen. Accidentally seeing Liam again, Troy’s mood darkened, and he swiped away the photo.
When Troy saw the photos of Charlie and Imogen, his mood worsened.
What was with Charlie’s weird poses?
Wasn’t she hot? Charlie hugged Imogen like that in this weather?!
Where was Charlie placing her hands?!
Charlie was almost kissing Imogen’s face!!
Troy was now also annoyed with Charlie.
But then he saw Imogen, who was lively in response to Charlie’s antics, and felt relieved. Troy was lost in the photos of Imogen.
