An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 87

Chapter 8

Megan was already feeling frustrated. When she heard Hannah taking Margarets side, she bristled and declared, Remember how you slapped me and stopped me from talking bad about her? Shes just a piece of trash that you discarded, so she isnt even your daughter. Why are you siding with her? Do you feel guilty? You didnt even take care of her as a mother. Theres no need to put up an act!” 

Hannahs expression darkened. Megan, if you say that again, I shall disown you as my daughter!” 

This wasn‘t the first time they had argued over Margaret. Megan refused to continue the fight and exclaimed, Fine, Im not your daughter. She is your daughter, all right?” 

Her expression frosty, Hannah spun on her heels and stalked out of the room before locking Megan inside. Ill only let you out when you calm down so you wont ruin my plan!” 

When Margaret woke up, it was already nighttime. As she seemed drained, Elizabeth dared not wake her up and waited until she woke up herself before giving her a bowl of piping hot seafood stew

The fishy smell of the stew caused Margaret to lose her appetite. Elizabeth, I dont want to eat this. Prepare something that doesnt have a fishy smell. Did Christopher say when hell be back?” 

Elizabeth replied, No, but he called earlier and asked you to give him a call after you wake up.” 

Hearing that, Margaret pulled her phone out and spotted a missed call from him. She immediately called him back

Meanwhile, Christopher was in the middle of a dinner meeting when his phone rang. This time, he glanced at the caller ID and made sure it was Margaret before getting to his feet. He apologized to his guest and went outside to answer the call. Whats wrong?” 

Afraid that he was busy, Margaret went straight to the topic. Are you on a business trip? When will you be back?” 

Christopher glanced into the private room before answering, The day after tomorrow, I guess. I have an important business meeting. If it isn‘t something 

important, wait till I get home. If its important, you can come here.” 

After a brief deliberation, Margaret made up her mind. Ill come to you now!” 

The call ended, and Christopher returned to the private room. Inside, an elderly man with a potbelly joked, I wonder whos the person who made you answer your phone in the middle of a business meeting.” 

Christopher‘s lips curved slightly. Ive left home a while ago, so my wife misses me. Its normal for her to give me a call. Silas, you‘re a henpecked husband, too. Stop teasing me, will you?” 

Silas Ludwick patted his belly and chortled. Brat, youre good with words, huh? Im no longer as healthy as I used to be, so I cant drink with you. My secretary shall drink with you instead.” 

The young and pretty secretary sitting beside Silas got to her feet and went to Christopher, but he pushed his glass away. Silas, if you cant drink, we wont drink during dinner. Weve worked together for years, so theres no need to drink to complete the deal. Lets just have dinner together as friends.” 

Silas flashed a grin. I know youre a henpecked husband just like me. From now on, you cant tease me anymore! All right, lets eat now.He chuckled
