An Impossible Marriage Novel

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.

Meanwhile, Christopher‘s eyes opened up slowly in the dark. A few strands of Margaret‘s soft hair were

touching the tip of his nose. Whenever he breathed, he could smell the alluring scent of Margaret‘s

body.

The women outside all used different perfumes, and he never liked any single one of them. This woman,

however, had the most unique and exceptional scent.

On the second day, Margaret woke up half an hour earlier. Having seen Christopher still asleep, courage

surged in her, and she bravely changed her clothes beside the bed while thinking of arriving at the office

earlier.

She was a little embarrassed while removing her clothes, so she had her back facing the bed, but when

she turned around, she realized that Christopher‘s eyes were wide open! Aside from that, his eyes were

a little red. He seems to have had a good sleep

yesterday. Better than mine, at least.

When their eyes met, the panicked Margaret averted her eyes. Pretending as if nothing had happened,

she put on her clothes and said, “I got to go... Remember to take your breakfast.”

Without waiting for his response, Margaret hurriedly ran away, and her face was incredibly red.

Elizabeth chased after Margaret and stuffed some waffles into Margaret‘s hand before saying, “It doesn’t

matter how busy you are, you mustn‘t skip your meal! Why is your face so red? Are you sick?”

“No, I‘m not sick. I‘m just feeling a little hot!” mumbled Margaret.

Elizabeth watched as Margaret walked further away while mumbling, “Strange... It‘s cold recently, and it‘s

morning now. Why would she feel hot?”

When it was already ten o‘clock in the morning, Elizabeth felt curious as to why Christopher wasn‘t

awake yet, and she kept talking about this with Fredrick. “What‘s wrong with Mr. Lewis today? He would

always be up early, but he‘s still sleeping now? Those two are acting strangely today. Margaret said that

it‘s hot during the winter, and Mr. Lewis who is extremely self–disciplined is still sleeping now.”

Hearing this, the butler rolled his eyes and said, “You should be ashamed of yourself. You are already at

this age, and yet you still can‘t figure it out?”

“Oh, I get it now. Silly me. The young ones sure are energetic and healthy! They did it in the morning,

and they had probably kept it up for the entire night. I‘ll go make something nutritious for Meg and Mr

Lewis. I certainly hope that they will be having a baby soon.”

Christopher, who was walking down the stairs, happened to hear Elizabeth‘s words. His expression was

a little gloomy, and Elizabeth immediately stopped talking upon seeing his grim look.

In Soaring Design, Margaret was burying herself in her work. Casper suddenly approached her and

placed his phone in front of her. “Are you aware of this?”

Margaret glanced at the phone, and she was stunned upon seeing the news headline shown on the

screen. The title of the headline read: Lewis Corporation‘s CEO, Christopher Lewis announced that he had secretly married a woman three years ago, and his wife was the orphan he took in years ago.

There was no offensive content in the news article, and there wasn‘t even a single person who dared to

bring up the accident caused by her father back then. The news was entirely focused on the marriage

between Margaret and Christopher, and there was even a photo of them on the marriage certificate. The

photo was, of course, photoshopped. After all, she had never been to the City Hall with Christopher. She

: did not involve herself in the procedure, as it was single–handedly handled by . Christopher, so the

photo must have been photoshopped. The news was obviously manipulated by someone, and from the

looks of it, it was definitely the doing of

Christopher
