Chapter 38 

Christopher was taken aback. Shortly after, he turned his head away and pursed his lips. “Don‘t you know how to light a cigarette?” 

When Margaret finally fathomed his meaning, she placed the cigarette between her lips amateurishly. Before she could light it up, Christopher had snatched away the cigarette, holding it between his fingers. “That‘s enough. I‘m not free tomorrow. Ask Casper to keep you company.” 

Perplexed, she uttered, “Casper? Are you talking about my current boss?” 

Christopher remained silent. A silent agreement. Knowing that it was a hard–earned opportunity, Margaret dared not to utter any more unnecessary things. “T–Then, I‘ll head to bed.” 

Still, Christopher remained silent. He stood up and went to the study. Only then did he light the cigarette between his fingers as he took out a picture from the bookshelf. It was a picture of him when he was eighteen years old, displaying a somber demeanor, which was inapt for anyone at that age. He was holding Margaret‘s tiny, frail hands, and she was only eight years old at that time. Even now, she was still weak and delicate. 

The picture was taken by the media back when he brought little Margaret back to the Lewis residence. Albeit old, the picture was still in good condition.
