Chapter 55 

When they returned to the Lewis residence, Margaret crept into the house and had her shower downstairs. When she got out, Elizabeth had already made some noodles for her, and she said, “Meg, come and have some food. You must be very tired after your overtime.” 

Margaret was touched, and she replied, “Elizabeth, I‘ve been working overtime lately, and you’re always waiting for me to come home. Please go to sleep early and don‘t wait for me anymore. I‘m really not hungry.” 

Elizabeth gave Margaret a warm smile and said, “This is Mr. Lewis‘ order. But what he said was not exactly what you want to hear, so I‘ll not be telling you his original words. Anyway, he‘s just worried about you, so go have the food. Once you‘re done, go to bed early.” 

Without even spending a second, Margaret had already figured out what Christopher had said. He was probably worrying about the need to spend money if she fell sick and that people would be accusing him of abusing her. 

After she finished her meal, Margaret sneaked into the room upstairs like a thief. She did not dare to switch on the lights in fear of waking up Christopher, but when she snuck herself onto the bed, Christopher moved a little. This had her stayed still for quite a good couple of minutes, and she finally lay down carefully after making sure that she didn‘t wake him up. 

With her posture adjusted, Margaret quickly fell asleep. After handling that much of a workload for the day, she was already exhausted.
