An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Christopher kept quiet, and the conversation ended there.

Soon, he could hear Margaret’s paced breaths, so he tucked her in and went to sleep.

The next day, Christopher awoke to the feeling of something stepping on him. He could distinctly tell that something heaving was near him. His eyes instantly opened as he realized that it was Tabby! Its white and fluffy body was pacing around on his body without a care in the world. Tabby even kneaded its paws on him.

Christopher didn’t dare to breathe. He carefully reached into Margaret’s blanket, wanting to wake her up and get her to deal with Tabby. However, Christopher had to move slowly and subtly, which drained all his energy. Even after a few nudges, Margaret remained sound asleep.

Thus, he slowly moved his hands upward to pat her cheek. When his hands grazed by her chest, his palm felt something soft. He immediately froze and held his breath.

Meow. Tabby’s soft call woke Margaret up. She opened her eyes and saw Tabby kneading its paws on Christopher. Her brain ceased to function for a brief moment. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly pulled Tabby into her embrace.

Christopher instantly retracted his hand. Yet, the sensation from before still lingered in his palm.

Margaret didn’t even notice that Christopher’s hand was on her chest. She hugged

Tabby and resignedly nagged, “You little rascal. Do you have a death wish? That guy doesn’t even like you. Why are you still clinging to him?”

After that question, she fell silent as she looked at Tabby. Animals’ thoughts were simple; They tried their hardest to earn the affection of their owners. Only then would they be loved and be able to avoid being abandoned.

In the past, Margaret was as pitiful as Tabby. Even if Christopher hated her, she did everything possible to please Christopher. However, she no longer had to do that

now.
