An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 

At the sight of the anticipation in her eyes, Christopher had an unfathomable expression on his face. He nodded. 

Margaret felt a sense of relief at his approval. She then put on her earrings and said, “I‘m ready.” 

He did not reply to her and continued changing his clothes. Before he took off his clothes, she had already turned around with a flushed face, having her back facing him. 

When they got out of the door, Margaret was wearing a thick coat. Even so, she still felt the cold wind on her skin, which made her tighten the coat around her. She even drew a sharp breath from the cold, and her face fell. 

Christopher stopped in his tracks suddenly and said, “You can stay if you don‘t want to go–” 

Margaret shook her head. “It‘s fine. I‘m not cold. Let‘s go.” 

She then got into the car as soon as she finished her sentence. Meanwhile, Christopher stood still for a moment before he followed behind her. 

At that moment, Margaret sensed that there was something on Christopher‘s mind. Yet, she could not figure it out at all as she looked into his deep, dark eyes. 

The engagement party was held at a church in the suburbs. Because of the large number of guests, there was not enough space in the church. Thus, it was held on the field outside of the church. It turned out that the bride herself had requested for it to be held somewhere other than a hotel because it was more romantic that way. 

The decoration of the venue was striking upon first look. At the same time, there were all kinds of luxurious cars parked by the road. Then again, the person must be a rather important figure in Dellmoor, for Christopher had agreed to attend. Naturally, most of the guests were influential and rich people. 

As soon as they got out of the car, Margaret noticed Jodie immediately. Jodie did not pay much attention to her looks when she used to hang out with Margaret back then. Thus, Margaret was pleasantly surprised to see how beautiful Jodie was in a dress, even though they had known each other for a long time. 

Christopher knew what was on her mind and said, “Go ahead.” 

Margaret smiled at him. She then held her dress and walked toward Jodie. Christopher hesitated for a moment as he watched her leave, but he returned to being his cold self in a flash. 

“Jo!” Margaret patted Jodie‘s shoulder from behind to surprise her. 

However, Jodie seemed flustered when she saw her. “Meg, why are you here?” 

Margaret pointed at Christopher and said, “I‘m here with him. Why? I was a little worried that I might not be used to this kind of event, but I‘m relieved now that I see 

you.” 

Jodie‘s expression darkened when she saw Christopher. “Did you attend of your own accord? Or did Christopher ask you to attend?” 

Margaret felt a little strange to hear that question. “He asked me at first, but he also asked about my opinion later on. I wanted to come. What‘s the matter?”
