Chapter 107

Margaret was rendered speechless. “Who else do you think?”

Jodie asked softly, “C–Could it be... Jenson‘s?”

Margaret sighed. “Jo, that is something I will never do. The baby is Christopher‘s. Please keep my

pregnancy a secret. Christopher doesn‘t know about it yet.”

“What? He doesn‘t know? Why didn‘t you tell him? Perhaps he will treat you better after knowing this!

You have to fight for yourself, and don‘t end up like me, giving my everything to an ungrateful man!”

Jodie was frustrated.

“I didn‘t give him anything. In fact, I even owe him a lot. I don‘t want to get anything from him. Jo, you

don‘t understand how it feels when you can‘t repay someone enough for what you owe them. It will make

you feel breathless and exhausted.” The meaning behind Margaret‘s words was too deep for Jodie to

grasp, and they did not continue with that topic.

The next morning, Raina finally regained her consciousness. Margaret wanted to find them a new place,

but she had no money. She could not help but regret returning the card to Christopher last night. Why is

it always like this? I always end up owing him more when I don‘t want to owe him again.

After that incident, Jodie knew they had to move out. “Meg, don‘t worry. I still have enough money to rent

us a place in the suburbs. I will get myself a job to at least be financially stable for my mom and me, and

I‘ll try my best to save enough money to pay off the debt.”

Margaret nodded as she pondered on other ways to help Jodie.

She applied for a one–day leave from Casper when she was on her way back in a cab. In her opinion, it

was not necessary to get a whole week‘s rest. One day of rest was sufficient

Margaret noticed two pairs of women‘s shoes by the door upon returning home. There were a pair of

black heels and another pair of red heels, She had never liked wearing high heels, so that would mean

some other women were at home.

Elizabeth came up to her with a long face and whispered, “It‘s someone from the Jenkins family. They‘re

here to look for Mr. Lewis.”

Margaret nodded and went straight up the stairs. Just when she reached the stairs,

Hannah called out to her, “Margaret.”

Margaret stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Hannah with a neutral expression. Hannah panicked

as she realized that Margaret actually resembled Christopher a little when she put on a solemn

expression.

Megan asked, “Margaret, where did you go last night? Why won‘t you greet us when you saw us?”

Margaret replied coldly, “How should I greet you guys? Should I call her ‘mom‘ and. address you as my

sister?”

Megan was furious when she heard that, but she had to keep her manners in front of Christopher.

Hence, she plastered a smile. “It seems like you‘re not in a good mood today, Margaret. Are you guilty

because you sneaked off to see someone you shouldn‘t be seeing and spent the whole night with

them?”

Margaret glanced at Christopher, who was sitting on the couch with an inexplicable expression. Then,

she walked up the stairs without bothering to explain herself.

She had noticed the documents on the coffee table. With Hannah here, she knew they were here to talk

about business. Even so, she still refused to see the two women she hated.

After getting in bed, Margaret tossed and turned around, unable to fall asleep because she felt unwell.

Moments later, Elizabeth asked her to go downstairs for a meal. When she got up to check the time, it

was already noon.

Margaret was cautious when she lifted her legs to get out of bed, for fear of harming her baby.

She called Jodie after getting out of bed and found out that Jodie and Raina had already found a new

place to stay. The police were yet to find the culprit who broke into their house last night. Cases like this

were quite common in that area, and most cases ended up being left unsettled. They did not lose much

from the break–in, and it amounted to around a couple hundred. Hence, this case would most likely close

just like that.
