An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 

At eight oclock in the morning, Christopher woke up as per usual. Margaret poured him a glass of warm water. The air is quite dry. Have some water.” 

He slowly peeled his eyes open and looked her up and down before accepting the glass of water. I need to meet with someone today. I want you to come with me.” 

Margaret wanted to tell him that she wasnt feeling well and didnt feel like going outside, but she couldnt bring herself to say it. She knew he didn‘t like to be turned down

While Christopher went out for work, she stayed in the hotel the entire morning. Around noon, Noah drove her to a highend restaurant. As usual, they had booked a private room. Looking out, she could see that the restaurant was bustling with 

customers

When she went in, Christopher was inside with another whitehaired old man. He looked pretty energetic for his age. His clothes were lowkey, but she could tell they were luxurious

Meg, this is Mr. Moore,said Christopher with a smile

She wasnt used to him being so gentle. Obviously, Christopher really respected this old guy. Hence, she followed suit and greeted him

Charles Moore looked her up and down. He smiled warmly and gestured for her to sit down. No need to be so polite. Im a childhood friend of Christophers father. I was previously living overseas, and Ive just returned recently.” 

Margaret would be lying if she said she wasnt nervous. She wondered why Christopher would bring her to meet Charles. It made her feel as though she was meeting his elders somehow

For the most part, Christopher and Charles would talk to each other. Margaret just focused on eating her lunch and barely said a few words. She only spoke when Charles asked her a question

After several rounds of drinking, Charles was feeling a little tipsy. He suddenly asked, Christopher, have you ever seen your younger brother before?” 

Christophers expression hardened. What are you talking about? I dont have a younger brother.” 

Charles waved his hand. Well, I guess youre old enough for me to tell you now. A long time ago, your dad... He had a son with another woman. Seeing your reaction, I guess the mother and son have never come looking for you all these years. Im surprised they havent made a move yet.” 

Christopher did not speak. Margaret could sense that the atmosphere was tense, so she set down the fork in her hand. She had never heard of Christopher having a younger brother either. Quite frankly, she suspected that Charles was just spouting nonsense since he was drunk

Perhaps he was really letting the alcohol get to him, but Charles continued to chatter on about the past. It was almost as though the bombshell he had dropped earlier was mere nonsense

After exiting the restaurant, Christopher and Margaret helped Charles into his car before returning to their own hotel

Since the topic earlier, Christophers face had been dark. Margaret did not dare to ask him any questions either. She hadn‘t slept well the night before, and she was very sleepy now. But since he was present, she didnt feel comfortable taking a nap. Hence, she had no choice but to power through
