An Impossible Marriage

Tears started welling up in Margaret‘s eyes as she remained silent. Her feelings were incomprehensible at that moment. She was affirmative that it was Christopher who had put Jenson in this predicament. Margaret did not blame Christopher. Instead, she was genuinely disappointed in him.

The cat was the trigger for their arguments. Now, the way she threw a tantrum made her look like a kid. Before their marriage, she always acted like a kid in front of Christopher. Conversely, he would act like a stern parent.

“Elizabeth, forget about it. Bring her back to her room. If she is unwilling to go back, ask someone to throw her cat outside the house.” Christopher returned to the dining table with a poker face.

Elizabeth could not help but force Margaret back to her room and persuade her, “Meg, how could you talk to Mr. Lewis that way? Didn‘t you see how he changed for you recently? Why can‘t both of you sit down and discuss the matter nicely? I know you have your grievances. I understand that Tabby is your precious pet, and you don‘t want anything bad to happen to it. Nina has her fault too. Why did she carry Tabby when she knew it didn‘t like her in the first place? Why did she make a scene when Tabby scratched her? Nina never acted like a guest when she was in someone‘s territory. It‘s so annoying. Please get some rest first. I‘ll get you something to eat in your room later.”

Margaret lay on her bed and stayed silent. Her tears streamed down her cheeks and dropped to her blanket.

To her surprise, Christopher was the one who entered her room and put the food tray by her bedside, not Elizabeth. He stood quietly beside her while gazing at her attentively. There was dead silence in the room as if it was the calm before a storm.

After some time, Christopher started to speak. “The food will turn cold if you don‘t eat now.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Margaret buried her head in the blanket before he dragged her from bed. “I‘m asking you to eat.”

His tone was not cold, and he did not have a grim expression. Conversely, he sounded helpless.

When Margaret‘s attempt to break free from Christopher‘s grip was unsuccessful, she sat up and turned away. She did not want him to see her crying.

“Are you arguing with me because of Jenson? We are just starting to have peaceful days. Are you not used to it? Would you believe if I tell you I was not the one who harmed him?” Christopher was furious.

“What about the recording?” Margaret fixed her gaze on him while asking.

After falling into silence for a few seconds, Christopher let go of her, but he had never retracted his gaze. “So, you started the argument when you thought I was the one who did that? Okay, fine. It was me. It is useless for you to make a scene now. Before you give birth to the Lewis family‘s child, there‘s no way you can leave the family. It‘s even impossible for you to be with him. Don‘t ever let me know you are trying to meet him again. Otherwise, it will not be as simple as an accident in the future. I‘ll make him disappear from this world!”

Taken aback, she grabbed the pillow and flung it at him as if she had gone crazy. Christopher raised his hand to block his face, allowing her to vent her frustration. After changing his clothes, he left with a frosty expression.

Soon, Christopher left the Lewis residence in his car. Elizabeth shoved the door and entered the bedroom. “Meg, Mr. Lewis left in a huff. Nina went with him, so you don‘t have to hide in your room anymore. Tabby is still under the couch.”

Hearing that, Margaret rose to her feet and went downstairs. After coaxing Tabby for a long time, it finally left the couch and allowed Margaret to carry.

Elizabeth sighed. “Tabby is not so fierce. It always trailed behind me. I‘ve never seen it scratching anyone too. Why can it never get along well with Nina?”

That night, Christopher and Nina did not return to the Lewis residence. Meanwhile, Margaret had already gone to bed.

At midnight, Elizabeth could not tolerate it anymore. She entered Margaret‘s room and woke her up. “How do you still have the mood to sleep? Is it not enough to have Megan? Why do you still allow other women to have your man? Mr. Lewis is not back yet with Nina. Are you not worried?”
