An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

It took Elizabeth a moment before she realized who Margaret was talking about. She then smiled and

said, “Really? Mr. Lewis is coming back? That‘s great. The two of you haven‘t been together for three

years ever since you got married. It‘s great that he‘s coming back. I‘ll have the servants clean the

house. Don‘t worry.”

Back in her room, Margaret cleaned up her sketches. She was currently working at a fashion design

company and had just become a permanent employee. The room was a mess since she was usually

busy with work, and Elizabeth did not dare to help with the cleaning, as she had no idea which of

Margaret‘s sketches was important. However, Margaret did not want Christopher to know her messy

side now that he was coming back.

Margaret specifically asked Fredrick about Christopher‘s flight. On the day he was coming back, she

went over to the airport to wait for him.

It was snowing the day he left, and it was the same the day he came back. At that moment, she could

not help but feel as though the past three years were like a dream. Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Among the passing crowd, she spotted his tall figure almost immediately. He was still as handsome

and eye–catching as he was three years ago.

However, she froze when she saw the woman holding onto his arm, and she realized that he didn‘t

come back alone.

When Christopher and that woman approached Margaret, she heard them talking to each other.

“Christopher, can you stay with me at the hotel tonight? I‘m scared to be alone.” novelbin

“We‘ll see,” Christopher answered coldly but with patience.

Seeing that, Margaret had the urge to get out of that place. However, Christopher saw her before she

managed to turn around. He did not look surprised, nor did he show any sort of emotions at all. He

asked nonchalantly, “Why are you here?”

His words made Margaret feel as if she was the third wheel. “I… 1...”

She was at a loss for words. She wanted to say that she was there to pick up a friend, but she knew he

would see through her lies easily because she did not have any friends.

Christopher ignored her and turned to the woman beside him. “Be good and go to the hotel first,” he

said softly.

The woman was very young, donning a white fur coat and high–heeled boots. Her smile and movement

were elegant and captivating. Unlike Margaret who was giving off a gloomy vibe, that woman was lively

and youthful.

The woman glanced at Margaret with curiosity before replying to the man, “All right, then. But you‘ll

have to come over tonight to accompany me...”

Christopher smiled and waited for the woman to leave before he resumed his usual cold demeanor and

walked out on his own.

Margaret followed behind him without a word. Meanwhile, Noah was already waiting outside. Thus, the

two of them got into the car. No one said anything for the rest of the ride.

Margaret felt that she was in no position to ask about that woman, and she reckoned that he was not

going to explain anything to her.

Finally, she broke the silence when they were approaching the Lewis residence. “When can Jo come

back?“|

Christopher was looking at his phone when he heard her question. His fingers were running on the

screen, and he was replying to a text. Specifically, he was replying to a text from the woman that

Margaret had met earlier in the airport.

“I said before that I‘ll decide based on the way you behave,” he said with a frown. It was as though he

found it annoying to speak to her.

At the sound of that, she dared not ask any more questions.

Christopher was still replying to text messages when it was dinner time. Margaret lost all her appetite

when she saw that. She put down her fork after taking a few bites and said, “I have to work overtime

tonight. I‘ve got to go.”

She did not want to be in the way between Christopher and that woman,

“Hold it there,” Before she left the room, a cold voice could be heard from behind her.

Margaret looked up and was met with Christopher‘s cold, hard gaze,

With a grim expression, Christopher asked, “What sort of company asks an

employee to work on their day off? Do they want to go out of business?”

Margaret stopped in her tracks when she heard his words. She did not doubt that he would make her

company go out of business if she insisted.

Thus, she turned around and went upstairs to go to her room without another word: She lay on the bed

as she stared blankly at the ceiling.

Back at the dining table, Christopher put down his phone and finally turned his attention to his dinner.

He ignored the notification sound from all the texts his phone was receiving as he said, “Elizabeth, get

her to move to my room.”
