Chapter 156
Christopher did not bother getting up to answer the phone. His tone was slightly annoyed at being disturbed. “Hello?”
Megan’s voice sounded on the other end of the line. “Christopher, thank you for helping my family. We would’ve gone bankrupt if it weren’t for you. You’re so nice. My parents said that they want to invite you to dinner. I think you must be tired of socializing outside too, so why don’t you come to my place tomorrow? I’ll cook for you personally, all right?”
Before he could respond, Margaret turned her back to him and covered her ears. It’s already in the middle of the night, yet she still won’t stop. How gross!
She did not expect that Christopher would not only indulge Megan but also easily agree to her previous conditions just to disgust Margaret. Although it was Margaret who suggested that he help the Jenkins family, his current acts obviously had nothing to do with her.
Christopher noticed the movement behind him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “All right, I’ll come over tomorrow morning.”
Even though the call ended, Margaret’s heart still felt stuffy, so she naturally could not fall asleep.
Yet, the man seemed to have fallen asleep a short while later. She was so angry that she did not want to lie in the same bed with him, so she grabbed a quilt and went to the guest room.
Early the next morning, Christopher’s phone rang incessantly. He had answered the calls and placed them on speaker mode so that even Margaret could hear Megan’s mushy words from the guest room.
Having had poor sleep last night and waking up to this, Margaret was furious, Disregarding everything else, she went out barefooted to stand on the stairway, cursing, “Can you just stop for one second!”
