An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 195

The light in Jenson’s eyes started to darken after hearing Margaret’s words. “Is that right? Well, that’s good to hear. I really hope for your sake that it’s true. Hopefully, he won’t disappoint you.”

At this point, Margaret could not stay on any longer. “Hey, I think I have to go. You rest up, okay?”

Jenson nodded. “All right…”.

As she made her way to the door, he suddenly called out, “Meg!”

Her footsteps halted, but she did not turn around. At that moment, tears flowed down her face.

“Remember, no matter what happens, Jo and I will always be here. If one day, Christopher really does disappoint you, you still have us.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

She nodded her head frantically and ran out of the room as though she was escaping him. Margaret’s office was pretty far away from the hospital. Even though she had planned her time out perfectly, she had forgotten to factor in the fact that there were fewer taxis around during peak hours. By the time she got back to the Lewis residence, she was more than an hour late, and Christopher had long reached home, sitting in the living room and chatting to Nina. When Margaret saw the latter, she was suddenly reminded of something.

Nina looked over at her and said, “Margaret, didn’t we agree to go shopping together after you got off work? Why did you get off half an hour early? I thought came home carly because you were sick. I came back to look for you, but you weren’t around either. Where have you been? We’ve already eaten. I assume you’ve eaten as well. Next time, you should give us a call if you’re not planning to eat at home.”

Meanwhile, Christopher had no reaction. He did not even bother to look at her.

Margaret went upstairs with her head lowered. “Yeah, I’ve eaten. I had some errands to run, and I forgot to tell you. I didn’t know how to contact you. Sorry. I’ll buy you a meal next time.”

Nina could tell that something was off. She could not help but ask, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so down? What on earth were you up to after work?”

Margaret felt a burning gaze turn in her direction. She could not help but look up

and just so happened to lock eyes with Christopher. Ultimately, she decided to tell the truth. “I went to the hospital to visit a friend. He got into an accident and broke his leg, but it’s not that serious. Anyway, I’m exhausted, so I’ll head up first.”

Just as she reached the top of the staircase, she heard the sound of a mug being smashed coming from the living room. She took a deep breath and ignored it before heading into her room.

Margaret was too lazy to go downstairs to shower, so she used the bathroom in the room instead. After her shower, she was shocked to see Christopher had come in, sitting on the chair by the window. Staring at his cold side profile, she knew he was mad again. “I went to see him on your behalf. Please don’t do something like this anymore. There’s nothing going on between him and me. We’re just friends and nothing more. Please stop hurting him and his family.”

A cold smirk hung on Christopher’s lips. “Friends? Please. What kind of friends sleep together?”

She held her breath. “Please don’t say it like that. All that is in the past. There’s no reason to hold on to those things. I’ve never said anything about you and Megan sleeping together.”

Christopher laughed out loud. “Hah! How do you know if we slept together? Everyone knows about you and Jenson. If I really didn’t want to let this go, you wouldn’t be able to see him at all. You should be glad

you had the chance to visit him at the hospital. Do you understand? Anyway, what does it matter who I slept with? You don’t care anyway.”

I don’t care?

Margaret thought about what he said and asked herself whether she really did not care. When she heard him and Megan making intimate noises at the hotel, her first response was to run. Her heart had felt empty, and she had felt troubled for a long time. Did that mean that she cared?
