An Impossible Marriage
Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Jenson clenched his fists tightly and his heart blazed with the passionate memories from three years ago. He wanted to leave everything behind and take Margaret away to a place where no one could find them. As long as she agreed, he would do it for her.

However, that was not possible. The pressure from his family reminded him at every waking moment to take the big picture into consideration. For his whole life, he could only listen to his parents and follow their rules. If he violated the rules, the entire family would be ruined and the Swanson family’s foundation would be destroyed. He would be a sinner if that happened.

His warm blood was slowly turning cold when he was forced to face a woman whom he did not love. It was only when he was with Margaret did he start to feel warm again.

Margaret, Jodie, and Jenson left together after they settled everything at the hospital. When they reached the hospital's exit, Jodie jokingly said, “What's the matter with you two? My dad's the one who is dead. Why are the two of you looking so gloomy? Meg's usually like this, but what's gotten into you, Jenson?”

Jenson looked at Margaret and did not say anything about meeting Christopher. “I'm fine. It's getting late. Jo, why don’t you go back and take care of your mother?” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Jodie sighed and said, “You guys know what my mom is like. With Dad gone, she'll need a few years to recover.”

Margaret nodded. “I'll be leaving first. Call me if you need anything.”

After she finished speaking, she noticed the black Rolls-Royce parked not too far away. Looking at the familiar license plate number, she knew it was Christopher's car.

Before she regained her senses, Noah got out of the car and took her handbag. “Mrs. Lewis, let's go.”

Margaret did not expect Christopher to be here. Stealing a glance at Jenson and Jodie wordlessly, she followed Noah and got into the car,

Christopher, who was sitting in the car, had an unreadable expression. She asked, “Why are you here?”

He looked out at the buildings and skyscrapers before replying in a cold voice, “Why

can't I be here?”

Margaret was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, she said, “Jo's father passed away. I came to the hospital to help her settle some procedures.”

She expected Christopher to press on for answers, but the latter changed the topic suddenly. “Since Zachary is dead, there is no need to return the money.”

Margaret was stunned and was unsure what he meant by that. After a while of pondering, she said, "Jo will definitely pay you back. A large part of the debt is also under her mother's name, and it's their shared responsibility. Now that her father is dead, her mother will still repay the debts.” Christopher turned to look at her and said, “I said that there is no need to return it. Don’t even think of finding more reasons to meet up with Jenson. There are enough scandals flying around. Don’t make me repeat this.”

Only then did Margaret realize why Christopher was being so kind. She said bitterly, “I didn’t plan to meet up with Jenson on purpose. I also didnt mean to embarrass you...”

However, Christopher was not interested in listening to her explanation. He snorted coldly in response and leaned back against the car seat without saying another word.

Knowing that Christopher was a man of his words, Margaret was relieved that Jodie would not have to pay back the debts. She did not care what was really going on in Christopher's mind. At least she could finally stop worrying about Jodie’s situation.

The car stopped at the Lewis residence and Christopher got off. He walked straight to the door while Margaret moved slowly. As she walked, she subconsciously protected her belly. Her cautious behavior caught Noah's attention.

Noah asked, “Mrs. Lewis, is your stomach feeling uncomfortable?”

Margaret quickly put her hand down and said, “No. Everything's fine.”

The sky had darkened, and the lights in the Lewis residence were exceptionally bright,

Upon seeing Margaret return with Christopher, Elizabeth was ecstatic. “Mrs. Lewis, I prepared your favorite shrimp and salmon for dinner. You loved to eat these when you were young. Don't worry, They were just shipped over by air and are fresh. I've also put a lot of spices to cover up the fishy smell. Co wash your hands and we can have dinner right away
