Chapter 109

Hannah stood up and flashed him an elegant smile. All right. Thank you.”

Although Christopher headed upstairs without a word, one could tell how annoyed he was at Margaret through his heavy footsteps.

Now that Christopher had left, Margaret could finally have her meal at ease. Megan, on the other hand, showed her disdain toward Margaret. “Looks like Christopher merely gave you a place to stay. He didn't pamper you like a princess. Anybody can tell how undignified you are by the way you stuff food down your throat like a starving dog. No wonder Christopher dislikes you and gets annoyed whenever he sees you. Someone like you is not worthy of him.”

Hannah scolded in a low voice, “Shut up! I've warned you multiple times earlier, don't...”

Before Hannah could finish her sentence, Margaret interrupted with a half-smile, “That's why you're able to stay beside him, isn't that right, Megan? If I, as his lawful wife, am flawless, a mistress like you won't have any chance to exist.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After being reproached by Hannah and mocked by Margaret, Megan was so furious that she stomped upstairs to find Christopher in the study.

Now that only Hannah and Margaret remained in the dining room, Hannah stared intently at Margaret with affection in her eyes. Unable to bear it or face it, Margaret put down her cutlery in disgust and said, “Mrs. Jenkins, please help yourself.”

“Meg... The way Margaret addressed Hannah pierced the latter's heart.

Nevertheless, Margaret ignored Hannah, as she was so tired of the latter's insincere affection. / don't need a belated motherly love. If her love can only be used to make up for the mistakes she made, I'm better off without it.

It was over three in the afternoon when Megan and Hannah were finally getting ready to leave. While listening to the noise outside, Margaret felt restless for some reason. All of a sudden, Hannah's voice rang out. “I'll go and bid goodbye to Margaret. I think she’s unwell, as she looked pale just now.”

Margaret frowned and held her breath subconsciously. As expected, someone knocked on her door in the next second, She turned with her back facing the door,

pretending she did not hear it. Yet, the door was still pushed open.

Hannah said cautiously, “Margaret, I'm leaving. Please see a doctor if you don't feel well.”

Unable to suppress the disgust in her heart, Margaret replied coldly, “Mrs. Jenkins, I don't need you to care for me. Instead of wasting your time on me, why don’t you worry about the Jenkins family instead?”

Hannah's body stiffened for a moment as she felt awkward. Megan then tugged at Hannah's arm. “Mom, can you stop trying to butter her up? I know you think of her as your daughter, but I don't think she thinks of you as her mother.”

After taking a deep breath, Hannah went downstairs and left in silence. Megan, on the other hand, felt bitter. Before Margaret's sudden appearance, Hannah had always doted solely on Megan. However, with Margaret in the picture, she not only snatched Hannah's attention away from Megan but also took the man she loved. The mere thought of that was enough to throw Megan into a fit of rage.

Moments later, when it was finally quietloutside, Margaret finally got out of bed and went downstairs to find something to eat.

The moment she stepped out of her room, she came face to face with Christopher, who was also coming out of the study. Christopher's face darkened when their eyes met. Then, he averted his gaze, hurriedly rushed downstairs, and walked toward the door. It was as if he was so disgusted that he did not want to take another glance at her.

Margaret watched him leave with her lips pursed silently. Indeed, there was nothing she could do besides remaining silent. When will such a life come to an end? It's as though I'm in the middle of a thick mist. No matter how hard I try, I can't see the lights.

There was a message from Jenson when she returned to her room after eating. It read: Are you free to talk over the phone now?

She called him right away, and the call got connected within seconds. Jenson's excited voice rang out in her ears instantly. “Meg, how are you recently?”

Margaret's mood lifted almost instantly. She then walked over to the window and pulled open the curtains to take in the fresh air after the rain.’"Not bad,” she answered.

In the next moment, Jenson changed the topic. “I heard that Jo's dad has passed away. Her mother, as you know, is not in the right state of mind to handle the funeral. Why

don't we help her to take care of it? We're the only ones she can count on right now. If you're okay with it, let's meet up at the hospital later.
