An Impossible Marriage Novel

Chapter 155

Margaret had a rough idea about the situation. She could only console Jodie by saying, “She probably hasn’t adapted to living an average-income lifestyle. Things will get better with time, so you don’t have to worry much. You can only tell her that times are different now, and you can’t afford to spend lavishly given your current financial status. As your mother, I’m sure she wouldn’t want you to suffer much because of her either.”

However, Jodie was not convinced about Raina’s motherly love for her. “Forget it. If Mom genuinely feels concerned for me, she wouldn’t need me to serve her meals daily. If my dad were still here, I’m confident that he won’t like seeing her like this. I’m most worried that Mom will soon find out that there is still money left in the card Jack asked you to give me. She will undoubtedly spend all its money in less than a week. But I plan to use that money as a down payment for purchasing a house. I’ve browsed on some units and picked one that’s to my liking. However, I still need a little more money for the down payment, so I’m working hard to earn it.”

Margaret could sense Jodie’s determination to make a living. She envied Jodie for that, as she wanted to live like an ordinary person too. Even if Margaret had to endure the difficulties of making a living, at least she would enjoy the freedom to do what she liked to do, and she would at least be able to set personal life goals.

Sadly, life had other plans for her; Margaret had become Christopher’s wife, a title that many women sought after. Yet, her glamorous title meant nothing as she refused to change herself into becoming the perfect wife.

Noticing Margaret’s silence, Jodie suddenly thought of something. She lowered her voice and asked, “Meg, h-has Christopher touched you lately?”
