An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157

Jodie took the envelope, examined it carefully, and was immediately discouraged. “The mailing address is the same as before. There’s no one living there at all. If this Mr. Xenos doesn’t want us to find him, we really won’t be able to find him. He’s just like a ghost…”

When Margaret thought of her current situation, she felt a little hopeless.

She had just a glimmer of hope for Christopher before, but there was nothing left now. All she wanted was to leave. She wanted to leave all this behind and live like a normal person, yet he insisted on torturing her, refusing to let her go.

“Forget it, Jo. There’s no need to care about this matter anymore. Just… pretend as though we’d never gotten letters from Mr. Xenos before. I’ve had enough.” Margaret was filled with negative emotions.

“Don’t give up, Meg. This has to do with your father. If he were wrongly accused, then you have an obligation to clear his name. How far are you now? Are you already discouraged? We just need to find Mr. Xenos, right? I’ll hire someone to find him for you. We shall not give up until we find that man!” Jodie did not approve of Margaret’s approach and knew that the latter was only saying this because she had suffered a setback.

“You’ll hire someone? Hah. There’s no need. I have money.” Margaret suddenly thought of something. Yes, I can’t give up. I just have to find a person, right? As long as he’s still alive in this world, I’ll definitely find him. If I can’t find him myself, I’ll hire someone to find him for me. Of course, I won’t use Jodie’s money. I’m Mrs. Lewis, after all. Why would I not spend the Lewis family’s money and torture myself instead?

It had taken her more than ten years to figure this out. In the past, she was an orphan taken in by Christopher. Hence, she always thought that she owed him and would never be able to repay him.

Now, she had become his wife, and the torture he inflicted on her had made her feel less guilty long ago. Once her father was proved innocent, she would no longer have to feel any guilt at all. By then, would there only be hatred left between Christopher and me?

After leaving the cafe, Margaret glanced at her phone and saw that it was almost time for lunch. Christopher must be having lunch happily with Megan and her family now, huh?
