An Impossible Marriage

Christopher called out to Margaret in the dining room. “Hurry up! Eat your breakfast. You‘ll leave with me later. I can send you over. Otherwise, you‘ll need to hail a taxi if you‘re moving too slow.”

Just then, Tabby came to Margaret. The latter hugged the cat in her arms, then let it go unwillingly before taking her breakfast. Margaret was surprised when she saw Nina had gotten up early too.

Nina lost her appetite when she saw Margaret looking energetic. Before that, she had thought Margaret looked morbid and pale. Though Margaret was not ugly, she had not looked beautiful either. However, Nina finally understood why Christopher fell for Margaret after seeing the latter dolling herself up that day.

“Margaret, where do you work?” Nina asked so naturally as though nothing had happened between them.

“I work in Casper‘s company. We do fashion design.” Margaret did not express any negative emotions on her face. After all, she could not put up a cold front when the – woman tried to be kind.

“You were sick earlier, so I dared not bring you out. How about I meet you after work, and we go shopping before dinner together? I don‘t have any friends since I came back here. It‘s getting boring,” Nina suggested.

“Sure,” Margaret agreed. Then, she finished up her bowl of oatmeal porridge in no time and turned to look at Christopher. “I‘m done.”

Christopher looked at his half bowl of oatmeal porridge and turned to look at Margaret‘s tiny mouth. He could not understand how she could finish hers in such a short time. As such, he hastened his speed in

finishing his breakfast.

After breakfast, the duo left the house together. In the car, Christopher suddenly said to Margaret in a fatherly tone, “Call me if you don‘t feel well in the office. If I got too busy and didn‘t answer your call, you may ask Casper to send you home and get Fredrick to send a doctor to give you a checkup at home. Don‘t try to act tough. Your immunity is still weak. It‘s better not to go to the hospital. I don‘t want you to work because I‘m afraid something might happen to you. You can do whatever you want as long as you take care of yourself.”

Margaret looked at him as though he was an alien. “What‘s wrong with you today?”

The man‘s expression darkened instantly. “What did you say?”

Margaret quickly corrected herself, “I‘m just wondering why you start nagging now. I‘m not a kid anymore. If I don‘t feel well, I‘ll ask for a day off. The reason I work is to earn money, not for fun. So, I won‘t force myself to continue working if I don‘t feel well. Don‘t worry about me.”

Meanwhile, Noah was surprised by Christopher‘s words. Apparently, Margaret was not the only one who sensed that Christopher had changed, as Noah felt the same too. Since there was no one else in the car, Christopher did not need to fake himself to be gentle. Hence, everything he said earlier came from the bottom of his heart. To Noah, that was terrifying.

They arrived at Soaring Design shortly. Margaret could not wait to get out of the car. Christopher reminded her again, “Remember what I told you.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

She turned around and gave him an assuring gesture. A smile crept onto her face as she let out a deep breath. If it weren‘t for those things that happened between us, perhaps we could get along with each other well. Even if it had nothing related to romantic love, there would also be a kinship between them.

The moment Margeret stepped into the office, Casper, who was chatting with a female staff, almost dropped his jaw. “I thought Christopher said that you won‘t come back to work for some time. Why are you...”

Margaret smiled as she replied, “Don‘t worry. He has approved it, and he even sent me here. No one will look for your trouble. I’m fine now, so I can start working.”

Casper let out a sigh. “That‘s good. I thought you‘d sneaked out here. If you don‘t feel

well–”

Margaret cut him off before he could finish his words, “Stop! Please don‘t say the same things as Christopher, okay? He has repeated the same in the car earlier. My ears have gone numb hearing that. Are you guys worried that I won‘t feel well? Let me tell you, I‘ll be fine, and I’ll be safe sitting here until I get off work. Tomorrow, I‘ll still come to work as usual.”
