President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 458

After Margaret finished, Murray and I found out that she thought so.

In fact, I dared not take Margaret with me. She was a patient. I couldn’t let her stay at home alone. She must be accompanied.

But I was going to work. Sean’s legs were hurt now. Lester was a kid.

No one could accompany Margaret.

Unless...

I looked at Murray.

He understood before I spoke. He sighed and said, “go! Let’s go together! I’ll pack now!”

When he finished, Margaret smiled.

She really looked good with a smile.

Murray looked at Margaret and smiled. He put his hands around his elbow, “I just want you to be happy. I’m not afraid to go anywhere.”

I watched Murray wave and return to the room. I thought Murray really loved Margaret.

If they loved each other, maybe things would not be like this.

Soon Murray packed up. He asked the servant to send him his suitcase.

I bought two more tickets. I took Margaret and Murray back to York.

I let them live in Sherry’s house.

In order not to scare Margaret, I put away Sherry’s picture.

Then I prepared two rooms for them.

That weekend, I took Lester to see Margaret.

This time, Margaret was acting very well. She was happy to see Lester and hugged him.

This scene was the family reunion that I had been expecting for a long time.

Margaret had been infatuated with shopping since she went shopping with me last time.

Lester wanted to go shopping for toys at the weekend, so Murray and I took Margaret with us.

On Monday, when I was still at work, I got a call from Murray. He said that Margaret wanted to go shopping and asked if I could get off work early.

Although I knew that I should tell Margaret that I may not have time to accompany her at ordinary times, I couldn’t refuse this time.

I arranged my work ahead of time. In the afternoon, I arrived at Sherry’s house and took Margaret out.

This was the first time I had taken her out alone.

Margaret was in the passenger seat. She looked around. I was afraid that she would open the door, so I told her immediately, “don’t touch the handle. It’s dangerous to open the door.”

Margaret wanted to open the door. As soon as I finished, she took her hands back and put them on her knees. She was like a child in class.

I glanced at her and was relieved.

Because it was not the first time I had brought her out, this time I was not as nervous as I was last time.

I took Margaret straight to York’s most upscale department store.

After parking in the underground garage, I took her upstairs by the elevator.

We started shopping on the first floor.

This time, Margaret was so happy that she looked around.

I was generous to her. I bought whatever she liked.

The mall was very big. After we bought some clothes, it was time to have dinner at night.

I took Margaret to the elevator and was ready to go home.

On the way, she took my hand and said, “I feel like I have had a dream. When I wake up, the world changes. Fortunately, I have you, or I don’t know what I will become.”
