An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 

Discerning the changes in Christophers expression, Nina knew that she should stop talking and wisely kept her mouth shut

After dinner, Christopher went straight to the study. Bored, Nina went into the kitchen. Elizabeth, Ive got something to ask you.” 

Elizabeth had a negative impression of her in the first place, so she continued with her work while saying, Go ahead.” 

Pouting, Nina queried, Id like to know how Christopher got together with Margaret. Youve worked for the Lewis family for a long time, so Im sure you know about it.” 

Elizabeth cleared her throat and declared, Of course, it was because he loves her! What other reason could there be? Mr. Lewisparents are deceased, and he has full 

control over his marriage, so hell undoubtedly marry someone he loves. The Lewis family is vast and influential, so theres no need for a political marriage. Dont you think your question is rather idiotic? Theyve been together for over ten years, so their relationship is superb with them interacting every day.” 

Nina then took out a bottle of iced fruit juice from the refrigerator. Hey! Do you think Im a threeyearold kid? Even if they do interact daily, can an enemy turn into a lover?” 

In response, Elizabeth rolled her eyes at the woman. Even if Mrs. Lewisfather made a mistake, what has that got to do with her? Theyre dead, so shouldn‘t the matter be put to rest? Mr. Lewis isnt the kind of person whod hold a grudge against a little girl. Anyway, what exactly are your motives that youre asking about this? Theyve been married for three years, so dont tell me that youre still thinking of getting together with him?” 

Ninas lips curved into a meaningful smile. I dont mind that he was married. When I like someone, Ill definitely fight for him. Ill leave you to your work, Elizabeth. Im going on a walk.” 

Meanwhile, Margaret was rather bored in the bedroom. Recently, she was either at the hospital or at home and had nothing to do. Verily, she felt as though she was going to go out of her mind with boredom

She had also been eating mild food these days, so she had long since grown sick of it

When she caught a whiff of the delicious aroma, especially, she found it all the more difficult to stomach her bland food

Aware that Christopher was in the study, a bold idea occurred to herto sneak down to the kitchen and secretly eat something tasty. Even if it was just a bite, it could at least stimulate her taste buds

Cradling Tabby in her arms, she crept to the kitchen. When she saw that Elizabeth was still bustling about, she didn‘t dare make a move. Elizabeth, youre almost 

finished here, right?” 

Mistakenly assuming that she wanted to help out again, Elizabeth hastily shooed her away. Go, go. If youre bored, go and have a walk. Do you not have anything better to do? Why did you come in here anyway?” 

Exasperation flooded Margaret. Seeing the few dishes on the countertop that appeared untouched, she couldnt help gulping. I‘m just walking around. Elizabeth, could you please go and see whether theres still water in Tabbys water bowl? Add some if theres none left. Im worried that itll be thirsty.” 

Elizabeth wiped her hands before she spun around and walked out. Dont lift a finger to do any of the chores in the kitchen. If I catch you when I return in a while, I‘ll tell Mr. Lewis!” 

Margaret agreed with a smile. Only when she had ascertained that there was no one in the kitchen did she extend her grabby hands at the food

At the thought that Nina ordered them specially made for Christopher, the urge to clean the plate gripped her

When she took the first bite, she felt her tastebuds finally coming to life. It was just a bit spicy

At the second bite, however, she started inhaling sharply. Oh God, this is too spicy! Does Nina have a problem with her tastebuds? Is this even edible? No wonder it all looks untouched
