An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 

Whenever women got together, such a topic was inevitable. Margarets face turned red after hearing Jodies question. Jo, I... We have never done it before.” 

A thought then flashed in Jodies mind. She pouted and said, Does he still care about the incident three years ago? Honestly, all men would be bothered by it. Moreover, it was big news back then. Not to mention that hes Christopher Lewis, and his pride was definitely hurt by that incident. But, he still married you despite everything that had happened. That means he loves you dearly. As long as you treat him sincerely, things will work out between you two. Meg, may I ask, did anything happen between you and Jenson that night?” 

Margaret tried hard to recall. I don‘t know. When I woke up the next morning, I was already wearing his clothes. Its been a long time ago, and I was drunk that day. I couldn‘t remember anything, but I believe something couldve happened between us. Anyway, lets drop this topic. I need to go back to work after lunch. Oh, another thing before I forget. Casper wasnt putting on airs last night. His stomach is really weak, so hes absent today because hes unwell after eating the food last night. He‘s my boss. If you bully him again, I might lose my job.” 

Jodie was not worried about it. Oh, he will be fine. I picked that restaurant for Jack. He had always frequented that place previously. Though its crappy, it holds all of his memories. His familys financial background isnt as good as mine. So, whenever I bring him to highend places, he will pull long faces, affecting everyone‘s mood. Either way, it doesnt matter to me where we go. By the way, what‘s your relationship with Casper? Ive never heard about him before.” 

Margaret explained, He is Christopher‘s friend. He came along to keep an eye on me on Christophers behalf.” 

Jodie was speechless when she heard that. What? No wonder you refused to talk about Jenson yesterday. Ugh! Men are scary!” 

Suddenly, in the corner of her eyes, Margaret noticed a familiar figure. It was Christopher. He was here with Megan

Jodie was confused when Margaret did not reply to her. What are you looking at?” 

Margaret quickly stood up to block Jodies line of sight. NNothing. II need to go to the restroom.” 

Jodie waved her off. Go ahead. Do make it fast. The dishes will be served soon.” 

As Margaret was not genuinely planning to go to the restroom at all, she just stood there motionlessly. After Christopher and Megan had entered a private room, she sat back down

Confused, Jodie looked at Margaret as if the latter was an idiot. Didnt you say you need to use the restroom? Why are you standing there?” 

Margaret answered absentmindedly, Ive changed my mind.” 

Worried that Jodie might spot Christopher and Megan, she kept glancing in the direction of the private room when she was eating 

Ten minutes after they started eating, Margaret could no longer stand being inside the restaurant. Jo, Im done eating. Are you done? I need to go back to the office.” 

Jodie, who had barely eaten anything, replied unhappily, What? Why is your lunch break so short? Is Casper that heartless? No wonder his stomach is unhealthy! Apart from his employees, I bet he is harsh on himself too. How scary!” 

Margaret did not even bother to defend her boss. She merely urged Jodie to eat faster
