An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 175

An Impossible Marriage 

Chapter 17

Nina merely smiled without saying anything. Then, she whirled around and went back to her room. 

Meanwhile, Margaret pushed open the door and went into her bedroom. Christopher seemed to have fallen asleep, for the room was eerily quiet. 

She lay down gingerly, her mind a chaotic mess. Whenever anyone mentioned the plane crash back then, she would feel such a strong sense of oppression that she couldn‘t quite breathe. That had her determined to find Mr. Xenos as soon as possible to uncover the truth about the incident back then, 

Early the next morning, Christopher was about to leave after dressing and all when Nina rushed out of her room. 

“Christopher! I want to go out as well, so please give me a lift! I don‘t feel like driving!” 

When Margaret heard the commotion, she instinctively jumped off the bed and opened the door a crack. She carefully observed the situation outside. 

Christopher didn‘t decline, merely querying, “Where are you going? It‘ll depend on whether I‘m going the same way. If it‘s out of my way, you‘ll have to drive by yourself. I‘m in a hurry.” 

Unfamiliar with the places in the country, Nina stammered for a long time without a definite answer. In the end, she fibbed, “I scrutinized the map, and it‘s merely a stone‘s throw away from your company. Just drop me off when we arrive. It‘s definitely on your way!” 

This time, Christopher said nothing further. Only after they had left did Margaret go downstairs. Elizabeth carried a bowl of oatmeal porridge to the dining table. “Here‘s your breakfast, Meg. Eat up!”
