An Impossible Marriage
Chapter 186
Margaret grumbled, “I don‘t care. How can I get control of him?”
Elizabeth handed Margaret her phone. “Call him now. Tell him that you have difficulty falling asleep without his companion. You must win his heart as long as you are still his legal wife. It‘s for your good. Do you understand?”
After pondering for a while, she made a call to Christopher.
To her surprise, he answered the call instantly. Christopher replied, “Hello.” His voice was so husky that Margaret was clueless about his mood at that moment.
She composed herself and asked, “When are you coming home?”
“I thought you don‘t want to see me,” he answered.
“Do what you like. Elizabeth urged me to call you.” With that said, she hung up the call.
Elizabeth became furious listening to her words. “You are such a silly girl! I don‘t want to care anymore!”
Margaret lay on her bed after the call. Meanwhile, Elizabeth left her room and went downstairs. Margaret‘s drowsiness dissipated at once. Christopher went out with Nina. Are they still together? What are they doing at midnight when there are just two of them?
Odd scenes started flashing in her mind. She shook her head, trying to drop the thoughts. She told herself that was not something she should care about. She had never liked Christopher, and she did not care which girl he wanted to sleep with.
After some time, Margaret woke up in a daze when the roaring of the vehicle disturbed her sleep. She knew that Christopher was back at that moment.
She pretended like she had fallen asleep at that time. When Christopher returned to his room, Margaret heard him talking with Nina. They really are together.
The first thing he did upon returning was to shower. Margaret was infuriated when she heard the sound of Christopher taking a shower.
After he came out of the bathroom, Margaret‘s head twitched as she asked, “It‘s late now. What were you doing with her?”
Margaret was shocked when she heard what she had asked. Am I interrogating him? Who do I sound like a grumbling wife when her husband comes back late?”
Christopher had gone up to the bed after putting on his pajamas. He answered calmly, “I was in the company. She insisted on following. I came back after my work.”
Margaret‘s mind went blank. She had never questioned his whereabouts before. It was something she dared not try to do. Initially, she had expected Christopher to ignore or reply impolitely to her question. To her surprise, he had answered her question politely.
