An Impossible Marriage Novel

Chapter 42 

Whenever women got together, such a topic was inevitable. Margaret‘s face turned red after hearing Jodie‘s question. “Jo, I... We have never done it before.” 

A thought then flashed in Jodie‘s mind. She pouted and said, “Does he still care about the incident three years ago? Honestly, all men would be bothered by it. Moreover, it was big news back then. Not to mention that he‘s Christopher Lewis, and his pride was definitely hurt by that incident. But, he still married you despite everything that had happened. That means he loves you dearly. As long as you treat him sincerely, things will work out between you two. Meg, may I ask, did anything happen between you and Jenson that night?” 

Margaret tried hard to recall. “I don‘t know. When I woke up the next morning, I was already wearing his clothes. It‘s been a long time ago, and I was drunk that day. I couldn‘t remember anything, but I believe something could‘ve happened between us. Anyway, let‘s drop this topic. I need to go back to work after lunch. Oh, another thing before I forget. Casper wasn‘t putting on airs last night. His stomach is really weak, so he‘s absent today because he‘s unwell after eating the food last night. He‘s my boss. If you bully him again, I might lose my job.” 

Jodie was not worried about it. “Oh, he will be fine. I picked that restaurant for Jack. He had always frequented that place previously. Though it‘s crappy, it holds all of his memories. His family‘s financial background isn‘t as good as mine. So, whenever I bring him to high–end places, he will pull long faces, affecting everyone‘s mood. Either way, it doesn‘t matter to me where we go. By the way, what‘s your relationship with Casper? I‘ve never heard about him before.” 

Margaret explained, “He is Christopher‘s friend. He came along to keep an eye on me on Christopher‘s behalf.”
