An Impossible Marriage Novel

Chapter 17

A couple of days later, Margaret could finally go to college again. Upon seeing her, Jodie took her arm and started talking incessantly, “You almost scared me to death that day! Are you okay now? Many people were jealous of you when they saw Christopher bringing you to the hospital in his arms. He’s so kind and gentle. I think I can finally understand why he has so many admirers.”

Jodie continued saying, “I have to say that he’s so damn handsome! I’d love to spend a night with him even if I had to die right after that. Also, our mentor was fired because of that incident. I’m just so thrilled to think that we can see Christopher again at the school carnival!”

It wasn’t until then that Margaret got reminded about the school carnival, and Christopher would also be attending the carnival. He had not returned home ever since that day, and she wondered what would happen when she finally got to see him again. She had mixed feelings at that thought. “Did… Did he say anything else that day?”

Jodie did not notice her expression and said, “Nothing. I was just complaining to him about your b*stard brother.”

Margaret was rendered speechless. It was no wonder that Christopher was infuriated by her words that day, as it turned out that Christopher had been scolded in the face earlier.

Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs. Jodie dragged Margaret down the stairs as she exclaimed excitedly, “Christopher is here! Let’s go take a look!”
