An Impossible Marriage Novel

Chapter 37 

Margaret intended to explain that Christopher was actually quite docile last night, but she was indeed tired. Thus, she thanked him gratefully, “All right. Thank you.” 

When she returned to the Lewis residence, she entered the living room to see a charming man on the couch. She was surprised, as Christopher, the workaholic, would usually be out at this time. 

Vacillating between greeting him or not, she pondered for two seconds before making up her mind and marching upstairs directly. 

Seeing that, Christopher glowered in fury while putting down the magazine in his hand. In the end, he suppressed his anger upon seeing Margaret‘s exhausted look.

from Jodie at around eight o‘clock that night. Upon seeing who the caller was, she was surprised. “Jo?” 

On the other side of the phone, Jodie exclaimed in exhilaration, “Meg, I‘m back! I‘m at the airport now, and I‘ll be meeting you tomorrow! Are you free to meet up tomorrow?” 

“I have to go to work tomorrow. I‘ll meet you after
