An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 

It wasnt until after Margaret had regained her composure did she remember that she was to brew Christopher a cup of tea. She promptly brewed a cup of black tea and took it to the study. No sooner had she pushed open the door than she was greeted by the sight of Nina leaning against the back of Christophers chair, the two of them looking so intimate that her eyes stung

I don‘t want to go abroad anymore, Christopher. Do you have a vacancy in your company? How about hiring me? My father will certainly have no objections if I work for you.Nina was so close to Christopher that her every exhale ruffled the hair at the back of his head when she spoke

No, thanks. Youre the only daughter of the Moore family, so hurry up and help your father instead. In the future, youll be inheriting your familys company. Why would you come to my company? Besides, theres no vacancy in my company all year round. All right, go on out. Im busy,Christopher replied as he looked at the work emails on his computer

It was as though he didnt notice anything amiss

Fine, fine, I won‘t disturb you any further. But then, dont kick me out either. I‘m so bored. Carry on with your work. Ill just sit at the side and look on.Shifting

Margaret went over with the cup of black tea and placed it beside Christopher sedately. Here!” 

When her words rang out, even she herself was shocked. Why did I speak so loudly? But I dont think I deliberately raised my voice..

Christopher turned and eyed her in puzzlement. Whats wrong?” 

Red splotches stained Margarets face even as mortification set in. Nothing. Im going to bed. Don’t make so much noise when you return to the room later. I won‘t be able to go back to sleep if you wake me up.” 

Christopher nodded in acquiescence before turning his gaze back to his emails. Picking up the cup of black tea, he took a sip and commented, It‘s a bit too steep. Next time, have Elizabeth brew it instead.” 

Margaret said nothing, rolling her eyes inwardly. She then spun on her heels and 

left. You should be thankful that I even bothered to brew you a cup of tea! Yet, youre nitpicking

Only when she had gone back to the room did she realize that her heart was racing. Why was my reaction so strange in the study earlier? Ive never cared about the hordes of women flitting around him in the past. CCould it be that Im now afraid after the incident with Megan? I really dont want to fight for him, but Ill still end up being a target. So that‘s the only plausible reason, no? Before he agrees to a divorce, all I can do is block off all the women around him who could possibly be a threat to my safety. This is only selfdefense.Knock! Knock

Suddenly, a series of knocks sounded at her door

When Margaret opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of Nina staring at her with a wide smile. Without giving her a chance to react, the latter barged right into the room

Christopher is busy, but Im bored, so I came over to chat with you. You dont mind, do you?” 

Can I say that I do mind

Of course not. Have a seat. Im not feeling so well, so Ill be lying down.” 

Glancing at Margaret, who was halfreclining in bed, Nina plopped down on a chair. How did you suffer a miscarriage?” 

Margaret stiffened imperceptibly, and she forced a smile. Because of an accident.”
