An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117

As soon as Elizabeth finished speaking, she saw Christopher coming down the stairs. She instantly fell silent when she noticed his grim expression.

On the other hand, Margaret could not stay focused at work the whole morning. She never expected herself to be so weak that she felt dizzy and almost threw up after skipping her breakfast. Her morning sickness had worsened due to her hungry state.

Finally, she managed to make it through the morning when Jodie called, “Meg, I’m at your office lobby now. I’m treating you to lunch! Come quickly!”

Margaret remembered Jodie saying that she would treat her to a meal if she landed a job. “Did you manage to find a job?” asked Margaret.

“I’ll tell you over our meal!” Jodie replied secretively.

Margaret was the first one to leave the office once it was lunchtime. She met up with Jodie at the lobby, and the two strode off together to a nearby restaurant. Jodie was all dolled up. It was clear she had put a lot of effort into searching for a job.

When they finished placing their orders, Jodie spoke with a mysterious tone. “Do you know which company I’m in now? I will reward you if you guess it correctly!”

However, Margaret was too hungry to take a guess. “I don’t have a clue, but I’m guessing the salary and the benefits must be quite good for you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have bothered applying. After all, you studied overseas. Though you may not have working experience, that alone will give you an advantage over others. I’m sure a lot of people will gladly offer you a position.”

Jodie’s eyes were filled with glistening hope, and her expression was bright and carefree again like she used to be. She had lost her smile ever since her family hit rock bottom. “You’re right! It’s a high-paying job with pretty good benefits. All my hard work paid off! I’m so grateful that I can have a roof over my head now. My only wish is to start afresh and buy a house myself so that I can live the rest of my days peacefully with my mom.”
