An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

He pinched her jaw and said in a cold yet authoritative tone, “You can only return to campus after you’ve rested enough and recovered. Don’t you dare try to win over their pity by showing everyone your sick face!”

Margaret hurriedly propped her body up. “I can’t.”

He remained silent and looked down at her, giving off a cold and arrogant aura.

She pursed her lips, and her voice trembled out of anxiety when she said, “I will study hard and repay you all the money I owe you. I’m grateful for you taking me in ten years ago, and I’ll move out as soon as possible once I start my internship.”

Margaret did not plan to rely on him for the rest of her life, for she knew she had owed him a lot, and she could not keep depending on him.

Christopher suddenly chuckled. His chuckle was cold and distant, making people feel that he was unapproachable. “I’ll make it clear for you right now. You can never leave my side for the rest of your life!”

Margaret’s heart sank. She stared at him. For the first time, she did not dodge his gaze. “Won’t you be reminded of your parents whenever you look at me? Why are you keeping me by your side? Even if it takes forever, I will do everything I can to repay you whatever I owe you, and I will repay you in my own way.”

Christopher held his breath, and his gaze darkened.

She had always been obedient to him, and she had never once dared to go against his demands. However, he was careless not to notice that she would grow up someday and change her mind. He should have known earlier that the stubbornness deep in her bones would sooner or later cause her to put up her guard against him, and she might even start resisting him.

They gazed at each other for a long while. Then, Christopher yanked his necktie away and threw his coat on the carpet. “You can never repay everything you owe me. I have been too kind to you all this while.”

As soon as Margaret realized what he was about to do, her immediate response was to run away from this room.
