An Impossible Marriage Novel

Chapter 40 

Jodie was shocked to hear such news. “What? Y–You married Christopher? What about Jenson?” 

Margaret initially was not going to tell Jodie anything about this. At first, she thought that her marriage to Christopher was meant to appease that incident. However, she later discovered that Christopher had not made their marriage public. Hence, the idea of getting married to Christopher did not make any sense to Margaret now. 

Now that Casper mentioned it, she was forced to explain. “Yes. I‘ve become an orphan when I was eight, and he took me in. When you were overseas, we got married. We didn‘t make a big deal out of it. Anyway, I didn‘t tell you because I couldn‘t contact you.” Margaret purposely avoided mentioning Jenson in her explanation. With how things were now, she figured there would be no future for her and Jenson. 

Jodie, however, was dubious about it all. “Did... he force you to marry him?” 

Margaret shook her head and smiled wryly. “No, he didn‘t.” 

Jodie then finally connected the dots. “In that case, I understand why he targeted Jenson and me in the past. It‘s because he likes you. There‘s no doubt he won‘t tolerate any betrayal from you. He must have been infuriated when he knew about what happened between you and Jenson. Has he treated you well? Did he abuse you? Why is there a bruise on your head? Did he do it to you?”
