An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 67

Hearing Fredrick‘s words, Megan asked, “Who‘s the outsider? Christopher‘s smoking. If she isn‘t feeling well, then just go to the guest room and sleep. What do you think, Margaret?”

Giving no reply, Margaret merely looked at Christopher.

Fredrick silently pushed her into the room. Margaret knew it was time for her to buck up and step forward. In a calm manner, she uttered, “Before I divorce him, you don‘t deserve to sleep in this room. Please go out.”

Pursing her lips, Megan walked behind Christopher and wrapped her arms around his neck as she said coquettishly, “Christopher, I‘m saying that for Margaret‘s sake. Look at the way she talks to me, though.”

Christopher then put out the cigarette in his hand before he ordered, “You go to the guest room.”

As though her wish had come true, Megan beamed happily. “Did you hear that? Christopher asked you to go to the guest room.”

Fredrick was not someone who liked poking his nose into others‘ business, but he was infuriated by Megan too. Just as he was about to speak, Christopher repeated, “I‘m asking you to go.“,

Megan‘s expression froze when she heard his words. Feeling aggrieved, she pleaded coquettishly, “No, I‘m afraid of sleeping alone. I want to stay with you.”

Christopher moved her hand away before he stood up and asked with a half–smile, “Are you a three– year–old child?”

Devastated, Megan left reluctantly. When passing by the door, she bumped into Margaret deliberately.

Fredrick left as well after closing the door. Then, Margaret went in and opened the window to let the fresh air come in. She felt suffocated due to the strong smell of the smoke, and she started coughing again when she had just begun to feel better a while ago,

Behind her, Christopher suddenly asked, “Is it so difficult to forget about your first man?”

The wind blew in through the window and turned her long hair into a mess. At the same time, as though the strong breeze had pierced through her heart, she felt a sense of coldness within her..

Christopher did not press for an answer. He took out the suitcase and rudely threw the clothes inside.

Seeing that, she stepped forward and helped him to tidy up in silence. However, he kicked the suitcase away in an instant.

Tears welled up in her eyes as though the dust had got in. “Elizabeth isn‘t here. I‘ll help you with this.”

Christopher was burning in fury. “Do you think by doing this I‘ll let you go so that you can look for Jenson? Don‘t worry. There‘s no need for you to look for him. I‘ll make him come!”

She looked up and cast her gaze upon him. For some reason, she fell into a state of panic in an instant. Why would he even allow Jenson to come back?

Christopher took her puzzlement as she was longing for Jenson to come back. Hence, the anger in his eyes grew more intense. He clenched his fists before releasing his grip again. In the end, he slammed the door and left the room in a huff.

After the car drove away from the Lewis residence, Margaret sat on the cold floor with her back against the edge of the bed. Burying her face into her knees, she felt less lonely doing so.

Elizabeth came back three days later. “Meg, why did Mr. Lewis go on a business trip during the New Year? Why didn‘t you talk to him? He could‘ve placed his work aside for a while. You must‘ve felt so lonely being on your own at home.”

Margaret leaned on the couch without replying. Suddenly, her phone rang. She received a text message of New Year blessings and a monetary gift as a reward for the employee from Casper.

She did not accept the monetary gift and only replied to Casper with a smiley emoji and a resignation letter. Then, she put her phone down and turned to look at the magazine in her hand. There would be an art exhibition in Horington the next day,

and she had made up her mind to go. I guess I should at least gd on a spontaneous trip for once in my life.

Margaret had only told Elizabeth that she was going somewhere, and she was not sure when she would return. Hearing that, Elizabeth merely told her to enjoy herself This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

without commenting further.

She did not have a lot of clothes, only two. Thus, one suitcase was enough to store her clothes. She almost took all her belongings with her for this trip.

She then turned off her phone after getting into the car. This was the first time she had gone out alone freely. She just wanted to enjoy the freedom and do everything as she wished, and she did not want to get bothered by anyone else. Besides, she believed that Christopher would not even look for her.
