Chapter 89
She couldn‘t see what the rest of the message was, but she could already guess what it was about. Megan wanted to come to see him!
To compare the two, the hatred she had for Christopher was more of a feeling of helplessness, whereas when it came to Hannah and Megan, she simply hated them to the core.
She suddenly had a very evil thought on her mind. What if I replied to the text for him? However, when she picked up the phone, she realized it was locked.
She racked her brain. She had seen Christopher use a password somewhere else. Margaret thought that he probably used the same password for everything.
Deciding to try her luck, she keyed in the passcode. One, zero, two, seven.
The phone was unlocked. She texted back: Sorry. He‘s asleep.
Immediately, Megan called the phone. Margaret was already expecting this, so she had pre–emptively silenced the phone. When she answered the call, Megan shrieked, “Who are you?”
Margaret did not back down. Her voice was soft but firm. “Who else? Megan, when I was your age, I never did anything as shameless as seducing someone else‘s man. I can‘t believe your own mother supports this. There really are all kinds of people in this world.”
When Megan heard Margaret‘s voice, she sighed in relief. She thought that Christopher had actually found someone new. After confirming that he hadn‘t, she scolded, “You‘re the one who can‘t capture his heart. How is it my fault? Christopher excels in everything except when it comes to you. You‘re the dark stain in his life. He really should just kick you to the curb!”
Margaret buried her face into the blanket. She tried to lower her voice as much as possible. “Too bad for you but he would never do that. Save your breath. I‘m on a business trip with him, so we‘ll be together for the next two days. You can come and see him if you want. I don‘t mind. It‘s up to him how to react.”
