Chapter 62 

The moment Margaret stepped out of the bathroom, the thick cigarette smoke that filled the room caused her to cough violently. 

This time, instead of putting out his cigarette, Christopher decided to be apathetic. Only half a bottle of whiskey was left on the table beside him. 

Margaret tried to breathe as little as she could while making her way to him. Once she was behind him, she asked, “What do you want to say?”
