Chapter 160
Margaret returned to her senses and answered, “Elizabeth, it’s not as simple as you think. I just… I’m fed up with all this. I don’t want to put up with it anymore. I’d rather he hates me and drive me away. Then, I’ll be relieved and free. I don’t want to .. be his wife anymore. Other people might be dying to do so, but I don’t.”
Elizabeth sighed. “Silly girl, you don’t know how blessed you are. I don’t know everything that happened between Mr. Lewis and you, but as far as I know, he’s good to you. He doesn’t treat you as an enemy and has never asked you to do any dirty work since you were young. You’re just too stubborn in nature. Mr. Lewis still had a smile on his face when he came back yesterday. I was wondering why you two started fighting again when he was in one of his rare good moods. You also gave me a fright when you came back from work to help me. It hasn’t even been a month since your miscarriage. How can you exhaust yourself like this? Listen to me and just submit to him.”
Margaret pursed her lips wordlessly. As she was too tired, she fell asleep without realizing it.
When Elizabeth did not receive any response, she let out a breath and tucked Margaret in.
For some reason, perhaps to have a good laugh at Margaret, Christopher came home from work on time almost every day and stayed in the living room longer than usual.
In order not to meet him, Margaret hardly set foot in the living room and only worked in the kitchen and backyard. She only cleaned up the living room when he went upstairs. Everyone minded their own business and did not interact. It was pretty nice.
Concurrently, inside Jodie’s rented apartment, she rummaged through her room with an anxious look on her face. “Mom! Have you seen my bank card?”
Raina was eating snacks in the living room and answered somewhat absent mindedly, “No. Find it yourself. Are you treating me like a thief?”
